  1. Charge iPods? on iPod Seat-Back Video Coming To Flights · · Score: -1

    Plus, the connectors charge iPods throughout the flight.

    Personally, I prefer to not divert power from the plane's engines.

    I can watch movies from the safety of my couch.

  2. Re:War, economy, abortion, jobs.... gaming on Gaming Politics To Watch Today · · Score: 1

    "Actually, since I have a penis, abortion is the last thing I should consider when voting. I am a hardcore gamer..."

    Then you really have no need for a penis ;).

  3. Proof is in the Refrigerator on Keeping Cool May Be the Key To Longevity · · Score: 1

    If it works on my leftovers, why wouldn't it work on me?

  4. IANAL on Better Ways to Handle User Conflicts? · · Score: 1

    ... but I doubt the "rock, paper, scissors" defense will hold up in many courts.

  5. Where?? on Trial For The Male Pill Shows No Side-effects · · Score: 1

    The article doesn't explain exactly where you have to stick the gel patch ;).

  6. Launch Manuever Name Change on Microsoft's Charles Simonyi to be 1st Nerd in Space · · Score: 1

    During launch will the Soyuz TMA-10 perform a "Hungarian Rotation"?

  7. Re:On a serious note, .... on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think in the US the evolutionary divide will be between the red and blue states.

  8. That's a punch-line to a joke... on Microsoft's Guidelines for Customer Privacy · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's the smallest page on the web?

  9. WOTW on Kansas Soil Yields Massive Meteorite · · Score: 1

    If strange lightening bolts start hitting the thing, run.

  10. Re:Sanity on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't it have been fun to be hiding in the back seat for the drive?

  11. Re:Go Forth and Multiply on U.S. Population Hits 300 Million · · Score: 1

    "Economist thinks, religion has something to do with the fenomenon..."

    So does Monty Python.

  12. Re:Never Happy on Microsoft Working With Security Vendors · · Score: 2

    Do you honestly believe that if MS locks down Vista it will solve any security issue? If anything it makes the OS more vulnerable because now the only people that are aware of the security holes are either working in Redmond and/or working to find ways to take advantage of the holes (aka, bad guys). IMHO it's a good thing to have as many (good guy) eyes as possible reviewing an OS's framework.

  13. Meanwhile in El Paso... on U.S. Population Hits 300 Million · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Welcome to the U.S. Alejandro you are the 300 Millionth American. Your prize? Deportation. Have a nice day!"

  14. Re:BTW on Changes in Earth's Orbit Linked to Extinctions · · Score: 1

    The arrangement of the continents also very likely either exacerbates or minimizes the effects of orbital variations.

    The same holds true when Oprah flies from Chicago to L.A.

  15. Re:Radio-Cochlear Overlords on Radioactive Snails Crawl Up From Beneath · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I have a pretty heavy fat layer....

    Ditto. You and me are proof of how some humans survived our early existence. The members of our tribe didn't have to out-run the lion; they just had to out-run us.

  16. Re:Still on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 1

    I agree about the bad feeling. I read the post as... Lucas states that for the price of one $200 million feature movie, 'I can make 50-60 two hour Jar-Jar Binks movies'... and for some reason got an instant nose bleed.

  17. Interesting Article on How the Wii Was Born · · Score: 1

    And here it was I thought it had something to do with, "...and this little piggy went wii wii wii all the way home."

  18. Oblig Quote on House Approves Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." ~ Benjamin Franklin

  19. Not a 720 Megapixel Camera on Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    "Even with todays current range of digital cameras massive images are possible -- such as the amazing 720 Megapixel image of Sydney Harbour"

    To be fair ~ That image was made with 169 images from a Canon EOS 10D that has 6.3 Megapixels and then the multiple images were stitched together using AutPan Pro.

  20. Re:How about some hair regeneration? on DARPA Sponsoring Limb Regeneration Research · · Score: 1

    Or how about growing me a larger third leg? I'd like to switch careers.

  21. JSP? on Sun Backs Ruby by Hiring Main JRuby Developers · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know for sure where/how/why JSP is going to fit in all of this?

  22. I Don't Understand on FBI Data Mining Students' Financial Aid Records · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are mining data from the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid". Isn't this a federal agency/program? I do NOT approve of what they are doing in any fashion, but why is anyone surprised that a federal agency (FBI) is given access to federal documents (FAFSA)?

  23. Obligatory Simpsons on Ad-supported Textbooks Are Here · · Score: 1

    According to Oscar Mayer periodic table of elements, the atomic weight of bolonium is "delicious" or "snacktacular".

  24. Re:Grid? on Amazon Betas 'Elastic' Grid Computing Service · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry for being kurt, but your post hit me in a hard spot (I'm not a biggot [and I hate Spike]). I try to make light of past injuries. I'm assuming that you are young, so here is an FYI about was I was joking about.

  25. Re:Grid? on Amazon Betas 'Elastic' Grid Computing Service · · Score: 1

    maybe you'll remember that you're a bigoted a**hole who needs to get some computing done for $.10 an hour.

    I remember 3 of my friends in the 80's coming down with GRID before the first heterosexuals were diagnosed and the CDC decided that it was not a 'gay' disease. They all died. That is why the acronym "GRID" is burned into my conscience. Please don't call anyone an a**hole before you know them, that is acting stupid.
