  1. Re:Coffee and music -- Why? on Burnt Coffee and Burnt CDs · · Score: 1
    'coffee like beverage'

    I think you're referring to Coffee Flavored Bevarine that's served in the Springfield Elementary teachers lounge.

  2. Has happened in the past on US Government Upgrades RAM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Look at Chile for a past example. Venezuela today too, although hard to say for certain.

  3. It were aliens! on Beagle 2 Failure Theories · · Score: 1

    UFO's to be precise!

  4. Re:3 tips that would have made my life a lot easie on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 0

    That's kind of unrealistic advice. I don't think it's possible to keep away bullies. Furthermore I've found it's better to deal w/ them at a younger age rather than suffering in jr. high. Get them laid early in life? What kind of advice is that? They can barely talk to girls as it is, why force the pressures of sex on them at such a young age? Remember you must walk before you can run!

  5. Don't forget Fallout on Sam & Max Sequel Canceled · · Score: 1

    After Fallout 3 was cancelled I at least had this to look forward. A double blow to the nuts. PC gaming is dead damnit! At least for me it is.

  6. Somebody had to say it: Smell-O-Scope on Meet the Nasalnaut · · Score: 1

    What about Professor Farnsworth's Smell-O-Scope? Combines the best of both worlds!

  7. Re:WETA on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thank you! I'm not the only one pissed off Bill didn't win. An absolutely stellar performance on his part. The academy seems to to slight him because he's dubbed a 'comedic actor.'

  8. Ford acronym on Ford Testing a New 'Traffic Monitoring' Device · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    F.O.R.D - Fix Or Repair Daily

  9. Re:Eep! on iPod Mini Autopsy · · Score: 1

    No wonder it told me to Eat Up Martha.

  10. Homer's old boss on U.S. Attempts to Block Oracle Bid for PeopleSoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually he kinda looks like Hank Scorpion, err Scorpio.

  11. Someone has to say it... on Japanese Government Raids Microsoft Offices · · Score: 2, Funny

    All your base are belong to Microsoftu, I mean us!

  12. MOD THIS DOWN, AC == KNOWN TROLL on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just look at any discussion. Anonymous Coward is a known troll and agitator! It's true. It's true!

  13. So to with Sports on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    Sports also fall under the same category. One team versus the other, get from one side to the other, conquer territory, strategy, physical and mental accumen. It's all there.

  14. How about an EMP? on Keyless Entries Fail In Las Vegas On Friday · · Score: 1

    A side effect of a Nuclear detonation. But maybe they were testing one(an EMP) over at Nellis when this went on.

  15. Social Security == about 60% on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 1

    In terms of our GDP, social security makes up the bulk of our govt. spending.

  16. Re:China on U.S. Air Force Plans for War In Space · · Score: 1

    This is basically to counter the threat of hte Chinese in space. According to intelligence reports in the event of war, the Chinese will target our satellites, GPS specifically. Effectively neutering the US military. The whole Star Wars laser defense as of late, is meant to counter that.

  17. Catch Chappele Show last night? on Search and Seizure at the Supreme Court · · Score: 1
    As a Latino living here in the United States(I was born here, my parents and both sets of grandparents are all naturalized citizens) I can very well sympathize with your pain. I live here on the west coast and was born and raised in Southern California. Needless to say I've been pulled over from everything from "your tags looks like they've been stolen"(huh?), to the obvious: "someone fitting your description was just seen in the vicinity of blah blah blah."

    Anyway last night on the Dave Chappelle show they did a skit in which they point out how there seems to exist two justice systems in this country. One for the rich(not always white) folk. And one for poor(usually minorities, but not always) people. The latter is usually concerned with the draconian drug laws in this country. The former for Enron type white collar embezzlers. Anyway the jist of the skit, was what if the justice systems were reversed, what if your stereotypical crack dealer was given carte blanche to make a mockery of our justice system, treated gingerly by an obsequious police dept and given a two month stint at Club Fed. While the white collar criminal was subjected to humiliation, denial of basic rights and a long mandatory stint in pound me in the ass prison.

    It was a hilarious skit, but by the end I wasn't laughing at all, as it is sickeningly true. A white collar criminal who embezzles millions of dollars, pisses away the pensions of hundreds or thousands of employees, destroys countless lives, is practically given just a slap on the wrist. Whereas a two-bit drug user perhaps only destroying himself or those immediately around him is given a huge mandatory sentence turning him into a hardened criminal and a bigger detriment to society upon his release. I try not to focus on racism in this country as it is gradually going away, but the divide between rich and poor and the buying off of justice in this country regardless of color is definitely widening...

  18. Re:It is truly a shame on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: 1
    Yes, everyone knows other administrations have been corrupt as well, but Christ! They didnt' have the chutzpah this one does.

    Other adminstrations have been just as corrupt or moreso. The difference this time around is that we are living in an information age and have access to alternate news sources and the like. In short it is much harder this time around for the Bush Adminstration or any administration to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public. We are just better informed nowadays.

  19. Re:Your easy answer is, alas, too easy. on Space Burial · · Score: 1

    Well the bomb basically gave the Emperor an excuse to surrender w/o showing weakness. However do not forget that Russia got into the Pacific Theatre I believe it was two days prior to the Japanese surrender. Russia was one of Japan's oldest rivals. They had much to lose and were indeed fearful of their neighbors to the north. It is my opinion that Russia getting invloved had a a greater influence, as the Japanese war generals, were willing to sacrifice every man, woman and child. The bomb merely let them save face.

  20. Re:Won't last on Diamond Age Coming Soon · · Score: 1
    The diamond cartel will try to convince the public (unsuccessfully) that they want inferior natural diamonds, and the whole thing will collapse.

    Never underestimate the power of marketing. I can just see the campaign DeBeers would run: "Give your true love a real diamond, not some fake synthetic one. Your love isn't fake, why should your diamond be?" Or something to that effect.

  21. Re:$1 of profit of Ethanol maker costs Taxpayer $3 on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    It also tastes kind of foul. There's a reason why Coke tastes better in almost every other country but this one. Although by the same token, Pepsi and Sprite just don't taste the same with regular sugar.

  22. Re:OB Simpsons quote on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 1

    That episode really made you wonder. How in the hell did Ralph Wiggum manage to make an alcohol powered miniature car for his experiment? This is Ralph we're talking about.
