  1. Biased Review on Games People Shouldn't Play · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or is this about as biased as reviews can get? First off, the image at the top of the page shows an image from a Gamecube game, including the Gamecube logo. Of course, why would MSNBC put an XBox game up there? The first few games reviewed were all either Playstation, Gamecube, or Dreamcast, with the last one being an XBox game. The reviews for the first few games only told how terribly bad they were. When I got to the review about the XBox game, the first paragraph was about how great it was because of its superior graphics to other games and game systems.

    On another note, when clicking "1 - not at all" on the "would you recommend this story to a friend" link, it said "sorry, you've already voted" (which was certainly not true).

  2. Coral Castle on NASA Still Trying to Verify Anti-Gravity Claims · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Recently I visited Coral Castle in Homestead, FL. After seeing a special on TLC or one of those learning channels about it, I became so fascinated that I put it on my list of places to go before I die. It relates a lot to anti-gravity claims, mainly because the 5 foot 100 pound person that built it by hand was working with pieces of coral weighing in at over 30 tons.

    There are plenty of places on the internet to read about Coral Castle, but here's the jist of it. Edward Leedskalnin, a small Latvian man, built Coral Castle by hand. It's pretty much a garden with many different celestial-style arrangements and setups built with carved coral. Many of the pieces are over 10 tons in weight, and the entire place was built by Ed entirely by hand and by himself. He worked only in private, but claimed to have found the secret to how the Egyptians built the Great Pyramids.

    When I was at Coral Castle, I learned that when Ed died some people from the government came and seized some of Ed's things, claiming that they were a threat to national security. Judging by the experiments NASA is trying, I'm sure they're based partly on some of the things that Ed did with coral.

  3. How about a wireless? on No More Sweaty Mouse Hands · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Make me a wireless one, and I'll pay you $50 for it.

  4. Donation in Your Name on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1

    For those of you who are Seinfeld fans out there, you can always appreciate a nice gift in your name to the Human Fund.

    Fesitvus for the rest of us!

  5. Re:Ugh. on Dorm Storm? · · Score: 1

    This was the perfect way to meet chicks. You'd meet a girl, and she'd start saying how she wishes her internect connection was working. You'd get her #, stop by, fix it, and voila! Another friendly face to add to the list

    Of course, once all of her friends found out, you'd get home and your voicemail would be full of messages from girls who couldn't get in touch with anyone at the helpdesk, and would do *anything* for you to fix it.

    Thank you, understaffed help desk.
