  1. Finally, this quote actually applies on Rotating Mercury Lunar Observatory · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's no moon...

  2. Oblig. Casablanca ref. on Napster to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    `I am shocked! Shocked to find gambling in this establishment!'

    'Here are your winnings sir.'

  3. Re:Nanobots on In the Year 2020 · · Score: 1

    The nanobot theory was of course first devised in a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' cartoon. Damn that Shredder.

    1: Mock commonly used yet still always funny joke.
    2: ?????

  5. Re:Virgins in Space? on Sir Richard takes Virgin into Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    More likely they're just ensuring only true geeks are allowed on the ship.

  6. Re:When Genius Failed on Defining Google · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to note that I dozed off reading the title of that book.

  7. Re:Next Step on Google Suggest Dissected, Part II · · Score: 1

    No, because 'Suggest' was first implemented as the "I'm Feeling Stupid" option.

  8. Re:CoH vs WoW on Year in MMORPGs Reviewed · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for a fantasy CoH, I think EQ2 is your better bet.

    I know it get's smashed on, mostly because they realeased it a month too early for competition, but as far as I'm concerning, the battle is exactly like CoH. (I played CoH here and there.)

    Where in Final Fantasy I would sit for 30 seconds waiting for my chance to do something besides autoattack, in EQ2 I am jamming buttons to use the myriad of abilities availiable to me.

    I haven't played WoW, but maybe EQ2 is the fantasy system you are looking for if you like the fast paced action of CoH.

  9. Re:In a related find on New Hominid Species Unearthed in Indonesia · · Score: 1

    President George W. Bush praised the news:

    "The ring is truly a mighty gift to be used in the War on Terror. It will be a chance for George, President of America, to prove his quality."

  10. At last on Bush Website Blocked Outside N. America · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now he can safely discuss security issues!

  11. Re:No differnces? on Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't amazing that you can state these 'facts' without any resources and get modded up, and lucky you, you get to slide your opinion in there without anyone noticing!

    If you want to know where they stand, go their websites, don't assume the parent is correct.

  12. Re:Torn on Thinking About the SnitchCam · · Score: 2, Informative

    The only way to do this is for you to invade everyone's privacy, and not have them invade yours, so you might try and get a job in the FBI or something ;-)

    Personally, I support freedom of information, but I also support the freedom to prevent any information from being created in the first place.

  13. Re:NO. on Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That tells me nothing. He's been busy running for President while the issue became heated, so now he's reacting because it's reached a high point in the election year, but seems silly to work on a law that when you might have a job change coming up. Specially when that law isn't remotely as important as other issues of late.

  14. Re:Geek Vote? on Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    From a scientist's point of view, I know Bush is an idiot. That's a proven law.

    I have a theory that Kerry sucks, but I won't know until he's elected. He may rule after getting elected, it's hard to tell with the candidates pandering to whatever group they're speaking too.

    So the logical course is to take the unknown over the failure.

  15. Re:Food Source on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your right, it would be like NASA to buy a 7 dollar cup of coffee.

  16. Re:Just one question on San Fran Mayor Declares Wireless for All · · Score: 1

    Damn! Good point! Forgot we need to scrap any plan that in might some way increase spam! Phew!

  17. If you bottled in correctly, on Would You Drink This Water? · · Score: 1

    I guarantee that the vain people of the world would purchase it for $3.50

    NEWater, the purity of Singapore's natural springs now availiable to your home or business.

  18. Re:Why? on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1

    I'm a Joe Schmoe with $20 speakers, and I've never even seen an AAC or an OGG.

    Point is that the public still downloads mp3s, because they rip their CDs onto mp3s and upload them and thus the cycle continues.

    The HaXXors might be switching all over the place, but you can't really improve the sound of say, Cake, and I haven't heard of anybody (outside this wierd ./ dimensional rift thingy) changing their pirating style, or having different results than 4 years ago.

  19. Re:Apple proves this false on Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer · · Score: 1

    Assuming your're right about this, though most other replies seem to think you're not, then simple sociology can solve the issue.

    People who can afford Macs are generally employed, and/or have cashflow. This group is less likely to pirate the software they need.

    It's about finance, not the particular software.

  20. Hopefully this equals on New brewing Method Means Faster Beer, Less Waste · · Score: 1

    Less Expensive Beer!!!

  21. Important notice on Help NASA Count Contrails · · Score: 1

    This fun activity is for grades 5-8.

    GLOBE students take measurements of the environment and report them over the Internet. Students and scientists around the world then use the data to learn more about the Earth system. Your work could help scientists who want to study how contrails affect the air and climate.

    And everybody knows, the most accurate and precise tools in climatology are middle school science classes.

  22. Re:More on sinks on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    I swear to God there's a post higher up that stated the Earth is in an unusual warm period, and sounded just as smart as yours does.

    This is why I hate this whole argument.

    Even worse:

    Q: The main window doesn't load. What do I do?

    Noooooo! I'm reading this so I *don't* have to directly communicate with other humans!

  24. Hasn't this been done sorta? on Play Console Games With a Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm pretty sure that the PS2 already has a keyboard adapter, because how then else would PS2 FFXI players type to me? :)

    Still, this is probably a bit better than what they thought up, specially if the mouse is new.

  25. Oh, this I trust on Can Coal Be Green? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A coal-industry sponsored group, Americans for Balanced Energy Choices

    Shouldn't their name be 'Americans for Coal Power'?

    Never support a group that needs a mask.
