  1. Re:Blow-up doll on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    only 2?

  2. It was cool, but on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It felt more like a pilot then a mini-series. They left things just a little to hanging to end it there. I was confused when I sat down weds night to watch the third part..and learned there is no third part. Other then that, well done in deed.

  3. Re:It's those damn aliens = reference explained on Yet Another Big Solar Flare · · Score: 1

    I loved the reference, and I caught it. :-) What were the called? the visitors or outsiders?

  4. Can make cool hard drive silencer on Home Brew Hard Drive Silencer/Cooler · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Golden hour? on Flash-Freezing Squirrels · · Score: 1

    This is exactly correct, as an EMT and firefighter I say you are right on.

  6. "I didn't want to hurt anyone" on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    said one of the kids.....you were shooting at them!!

  7. No matter how violent a game is on Kids Kill, Victim Sues Game Maker · · Score: 1

    The message of the game is not that violence is a good thing. I mean, shouldn't someone take note that these kids apprently didn't know, or didn't care that shooting at cars and people were wrong? Gee, and who is it that is SUPPOSED to teach right from wrong to kids....

  8. Re:Two words dude...Beer Cozy on PeltierBeer · · Score: 1

    Who said he wasn't drinking beer WHILE doing this?

  9. Re:That's how it always starts. on Ancient DNA · · Score: 1

    Remind me to thank john for the lovely weekend(good Malcolm from Jurassic Park)

  10. Movies on Ask Larry Niven · · Score: 1

    Are there any plans for a Ringworld movie? Or movies of any of your other novels(or collaberations)??
    I would love to see them on film!! "Mote in God's Eye" or "Ringworld" would rock!!! "Legacy of Hereot" would be a GREAT action/scifi flick!
    You are by far my favorite author, even though I can't remember how to spell hereot....

  11. Re:Yay for MOO!!!! on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    Lucky for me that moo3 has a built in alarm you can set for food and things..and regular reminder functions, so I can check slashdot at regular intervals...:-)

    p.s. what day is it? I think i was supposed to go to work today...

  12. Yay for MOO!!!! on Master of Orion 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I have been waiting for years for this game!!! I loved moo2 and can't wait to play 3!!! I'm picking it up tonight on my way home :-)

  13. This is what I have been saying for years... on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    Lift weights!!!!! I started weight lifting in college, if I had started when I was skinny and that young, I would have actual muscles!!!! Oh, and ask that girl michelle out who you will meet in the next 3 years...she will go out with you!!!

  14. Re:AT&T Selling TiVo on Cable Companies Despise PVRs · · Score: 0

    Same thing with my local cable company(Time Warner), they just started offering their own DVR service. It works great, and they sure as hell don't seem to 'hate' it.

  15. Re:Self-control on Using Neuromarketing to Sell Products · · Score: 1

    Just cause they find some way to get some commercial to grab my attention better, doesn't mean I am suddenly gonna buy the thing. I mean, if they advertise some game I might like, then I would buy it, but if they advertise some thing I have no need for, no matter how much they use trickery to create an emotional response from me, I'm not gonna buy it.
    My "acting different" would be to look at the chick on the billboard, not buy the product. That is how I would act regardless.

  16. Re:Self-control on Using Neuromarketing to Sell Products · · Score: 1

    Exactly, my reaction would be what it normally is! Just because they may find some way to emotionally increase the reaction to some ad, doesn't mean they control me!

  17. Self-control on Using Neuromarketing to Sell Products · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People worry too much that this thing is gonna turn into some mind control. We are all faced everyday with things we want/want to do, and we spend all day denying ourselves most of these things. I mean, just seeing a hot girl fills my head with all sorts of thoughts and feelings, but it doesn't make me act any different then i would normally.

  18. Oooo..so hard to get around.. on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    I just had to disable javascipt...

  19. It might escape on Scientists Attempting to Create Simple Life Form · · Score: 2, Funny

    But the non-infectous-to-humans single cell organism may escape it's environment, and then immediatly die!!!!!!

  20. Re:timeout on The Law of Leaky Abstractions · · Score: 1

    I would think that reliable would mean, if it says it gets there, it got there, and if says it didn't, then it didn't. I don't believe that reliable means "always works", it means that it does what it says it will do.

  21. Re:Someone posts a chess computer story... on Men vs. Machines · · Score: 1

    I think they should have these computers actually enter competitions, and play like anyone else has to in order to go for the title. Then if the computer wins, it has truely one.

  22. Popup disabling... on Opera 6.03 - The Wild Child of Browsers? · · Score: 1

    I do love that quick pop-up disable feature... and it still allows me to run javascript.

  23. Would result in constantly changing music at least on Computer DJ Uses Biofeedback to Mix · · Score: 1

    Since a "clubber" would eventually tire of that music, and their excitement would wain, this would result in a pretty spiffy ever changing music. Because they would show excitement in ever changing tastes. That does sound coooo
