  1. Re:Mario on Nintendo May Do Anime · · Score: 1

    That's interesting.

    But I think professional cartoonists are able to distinguish, even if the common word in America is 'Cartoon' and the common word in Japan is 'Anime', I think most fans of animation should understand that Kenshin is quite different from Jackie Chan Adventures in content and artwork, and that isn't necessarily based upon the creator's locale.

  2. Re:Mario on Nintendo May Do Anime · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ok, listen up.

    Made in Japan != Anime.

    Anime is a style. Not region based.

  3. Re:Shwaaa? on SpaceShipOne Captures the X Prize · · Score: 1

    Hmm, the first manned vehicle was in space decades ago.

    This will be more like Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic. Especially since he got a prize too.

  4. it went something like this on William Shatner to Star in New Reality TV Series · · Score: 1, Funny

    You see! It was! A Joke!

    *wave hands awkwardly*

    I'm! Sorry! For the mistake!!

  5. I quote thus on FBI Ordered to Turn Over Lennon Files · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

  6. Re:From the no-cat-will... on Upgrade Your Dog · · Score: 1

    Shall I refer you to the Simpson's episode where Santa's Helper saves the ham, and Snowball II saves Homer from the fire?

    That's proof to me!

  7. dark side points on Tiny Moon is No Space Station · · Score: 2, Funny

    As geeky as we are, my friends and I argue who actually got the dark side points for blowing Alderaan into many small bits.

    Tarkin, Vader, The Emperor... or that Imperial Officer who pulled the switch.

  8. .oO on Robots in Hospitals · · Score: 5, Funny

    Doctor: Scalpel.

    Robot: Scalpel.

    Doctor: Domo arigato, Nurse Roboto.

  9. IN SOVIET RUSSIA on Hubble Discovers a Hundred New Planets · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    IN SOVIET RUSSIA HUBBLE FINDS YOU!

    (at least present the joke correctly man.) ;-)

  10. CSS on HTML Frames Considered Harmful · · Score: 3, Informative

    My IT professors beat into my brain that all formatting that even remotely resembles frames should be done with CSS(Cascading Style Sheets) positioning.

  11. Sex magazines? on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    Maxim? Playboy?

    Honestly, pr0n is on the net for your single-life pleasure needs. Otherwise, try expanding your mind with literature that neanderthals *wouldn't* appreciate.

  12. /huh on Nigeria Detains 500 419 Fraudsters · · Score: 1

    I rtfa, and I still am not sure what this is about.

    Anyone care to explain it better?

  14. Re:Complete crap on Dance Dance Revolution Hastens Heart Attack · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Max Unlimited on Heavy will give anyone a heart attack ;-)

    Honestly though, DDR is often my sole exercise for a week. A great way for geeks to get into shape without having to go outside. :)

  15. Re:Fox News' stellar unbiased reporting on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    You assume I was using the same logical joke structure, when I was merely borrowing the random factor of the joke, in referring to Miles Davis.

    So [statement] -> Miles Davis, a larger, and not as indepth structure.

    Not as funny, because it lacks the 'cool' reference, but that is not required to make the reference for humor's sake because I could have replaced 'Miles Davis' with 'Hammurabi'. The only reason I didn't, is because I'm a Billy Madison fan.

    Had the joke been more common, I may have taken more thought into it's form, but I again underestimated the nerdiness of /.

  16. Re:Nice Idea? on Telus Puts A Stop To 'Modem Hijacking' · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be the corporations restricting freedom in this case?

  17. A good start on Telus Puts A Stop To 'Modem Hijacking' · · Score: 1

    If not a bit late, though seems like the wrong approach to the problem, but perhaps as much as the phone company can do about it.

    Of course, I personally haven't seen a modem in years... ;-)

    If CNN is left wing, then I'm Miles Davis.

  19. Re:Documentary: "Factual and Objective" on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    Facts are things that can not be disputed, like what you smell and see given healthy senses.

    In the movie, you see what was filmed, thus you see facts.

    Moore may be satirically arguing something that's harder to prove, and in arguing by definition biased, but the film is still factual. Just because he edited the thousands of hours of film to show what he though demonstrated his argument doesn't mean he showed anything fictional.

  20. Re:I like how Penn of Penn and Teller put it... on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 2, Informative

    Moore canceled when O'Reilly walked out of a F9/11 screening. He figured if O'Reilly wasn't mature enough to sit through it, he didn't want to bother with him.

  21. in 15 years... on Scientist Sees Space Elevator in 15 Years · · Score: 0

    I predict the space cable will be ready in 15 years.
