  1. Re:Cue black hole jokes on Large Hadron Collider Scientist Arrested For al-Qaeda Ties · · Score: 1

    in 5..4..3..2..1..0..-1...

    Funny that the blackhole joke came up one minute before the countdown.
    Cue time travel jokes in -5, -6, -7...

  2. Re:I must say... on Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled · · Score: 1

    The one I wanted to get was the Scion XB for Soundwave in the Animated series. I'll definitely need to try one once they are available around here.
    Although the real one looks much smaller than in the show.

  3. upgrade or switch... on Asus Launches Eee PC T91, a Touch-Screen Tablet Netbook · · Score: 1

    Should I just upgrade my 900 with a touch screen with internal usb hub, or dump it and get this new model.. Decisions decisions...

    I'm tttotally used\tothe keyboard now.I dooooon't make too many mnistakes anymorerd.
    The keys are the same size than a regular keyboard, but there is absolutely no space between keys. This is what's messing me up.

  4. Re:secret to humor on Why Video Games Are Having a Harder Time With Humor · · Score: 1

    Yup. There's humor in there all right.
    Punctuation on Vacation-type of humor.
    He intentionally scrapped his own punchline for effect.

  5. Re:Genetic drift on Ant Mega-Colony Covers the World · · Score: 1

    It's actually the BEST and ONLY way to really learn. There is probably a Ballmer peak equivalent for Coffee vs Research.

  6. Re:The Mysterious Reoccurrence of Mr. Freckles on Most Blogs Now Abandoned · · Score: 4, Funny

    2006 is like.. the stone age of the internet. Did they have like.. google back then? What about electricity and running water?

  7. Dremel and electric tape. on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 1

    That should do the trick. Just cut a hole and get rid of it, then block the hole with black (or whatever color your laptop is) electric tape.

    It's like the pin on IBM laptops that tell the system the display is off and then tries to find an alternate display, messing up the position of all of your icons. Just get rid of it with wire cutters.

  8. they already had me.. on Windows 7 Will Be Free For a Year · · Score: 2, Informative

    Microsoft already had me at "Mark Russinovich is windows 7 principal architect".
    I was given that 'june 1st' date, but it was supposed to be june 1st 2009, not 2010.
    Background goes black on june 1st, and starting july 1st, reboot each two hours. (insert bluescreen joke here)

  9. best whatnot? on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    Your mouse should work perfectly on most whatnots.
    I especially recommend this one with ample room for all your accessories.

  10. Re:I read this headline on Hundreds of Black Holes Roam Loose In Milky Way · · Score: 1

    The only image I had was that they were looking for Hawking, floating around to find his wheelchair, in a cosmic-sized pacman game.

  11. "can be used..." on New Mega-Botnet Discovered · · Score: 1

    Have they used it yet, and have we seen an effect?
    Within the past few days, I have seen an increase in spam volume.. It's been an interesting week so far.

  12. Re:MacAfee Finds Way to Market Product as Green! on The Ecological Impact of Spam · · Score: 1

    "probably" being the key word here.
    Of course, that was bound to happen. 2009 is green.

  13. Re:Speilberg on Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah · · Score: 1

    Speilberg has already signed for three games with Electronic Arts, first one released being Boom Blox, which is an amazing game. The other two should be epic, too.

  14. Re:It's an anti anglophone/allophone thing on Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games · · Score: 1

    Don't confuse being racist and being xenophobe.
    Thinking you're superior because of your culture and heritage is racist.
    Being afraid of losing your roots because of outsiders is xenophobic.

  15. Re:many questions on Quebec Says 'Non' To English-Only Video Games · · Score: 1

    I have no problem playing french version of Japanese, german or even French games!
    I the last few years, the only kind of localized games that were unplayable were shovelware.

    I think this law was passed to address the Scrabble game in particular. Ubisoft was making a version and Hasbro forbid them to distribute the game in North America.. So no french version of it for Quebec, up until that law was in effect.

  16. Re:Movies are loved by those who go to the theater on Wolverine Film Leaked a Month Before Release · · Score: 1

    A buddy of mine almost never pays to see movies. Apparently, he even gets paid to watch movies. He's a critic, but still likes them all.

  17. Re:I wonder on Cheap Scanners Can "Fingerprint" Paper · · Score: 1

    I just know my kids are going to do it too someday... So should I just save their fingerprints and order a cigar lighter flashlight to replace the lighter?

  18. Re:George Riddick - the one man RIIA of clipart on George Riddick — the One-Man RIAA of Clip Art · · Score: 1

    I was about to post an anonymous "TL:DR" reply..but then decided to read.
    Thanks for that. You will probably get a lot of replies nitpicking some points, but I think most will get the general idea.

  19. Re:purell on Why Kindle 2's Screen Took 12 Years and $150 Million · · Score: 4, Funny

    But be careful. If you die in Canada, you die in real life too.

  20. Re:No accident on Microsoft Asks For a Refund From Laid-Off Workers [updated] · · Score: 1

    Just checked google maps for the location... That lake next to it looks like a Chenjesu ship.

  21. Re:wear your space suit on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    You just roll a D20 versus constitution or spend a wish.

  22. Re:Teleportation and aging issues. on The Science and Physics of Back To the Future · · Score: 1
  23. Re:TED The Energy Detective on Saving Energy Via Webcam-Based Meter Reading? · · Score: 1

    Definitely the best solution. I've seen it in action and it's great.

  24. Re:They're insane. on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 1

    Like previous poster says, to cover initial dev, packaging and marketing costs.
    You can also check the clothing industry, everything becomes on sale at 50% or less eventually.

  25. Re:Doctrine of first sale on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 1

    books do not have a recurring support cost. Games do.
    If you buy a game, download a 100megs add-on or patch, play online with the provided matching service, call to bitch about your newest SLI rig not getting you the right amount of FPS, all stuff you're entitled to when you have a valid copy of the game, the publisher/developper pays.
    If you're missing a page to your Harry Potter book, I doubt JKR's wallet will be affected. Same with a music CD.

    The application of first sale is a bitch. Plus international boundaries. And EULAs.
