  1. Re:Spray On Clothing on Museum of the Future · · Score: 1

    i think i just developed a new fetish

  2. Additional batteries on PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced · · Score: 1

    Additional batteries are $45. Given that this thing costs $200 less than everyone thought, it isn't too much a hassle to throw an extra battery in your pocket. They are not all that big looking. At the $400 price, thats a 20-30 hour battery life. Scale accordingly, and subtract for the hassle of carrying extra batteries. Not that I fully believe myself, I am just tryin to look at it a little differently

  3. Re:Extreme yo-yo-ing, Mr Bond on Extreme Yo-Yoing · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Am I the only one who read the headline as "Extreme Yu-Gung" and thought it was about a new CD with Einstürzende Neubauten remixes?

    Yes.

  4. Re:I love baseball.. on Rocket Science vs. Barry Bonds · · Score: 1

    "What other sport could have a rule as seemingly convoluted as that?" The NFL tops baseball in the convuluted rule field. Tuck rule anyone?

  5. Re:Return on Investment on Chainsaw-wielding Robotic Submarine · · Score: 2, Informative

    i dont think any of the replies yet have expressed how valuable this wood can actually be. some of the wood recovered is a hundred, or hundreds, of years old and is extremely well preserved and colored. cold water preserves the wood. without looking up the actual numbers, a single log alone could be worth thousands of dollars no problem

  6. Re:$70 Million for and Indie? on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    lol, modded informative? it is obviously a joke. show me i am wrong and i will eat my hat.

  7. Re:Not a real surprise on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was interested so I looked at the Amana website. A simple explanation is "Sensor Cook uses a humidity sensor to automatically calculate cooking time and power level. No guesswork."

  8. Where else to ask... on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1

    Can somebody tell me what that instrument was that Sting was playing?

  9. IP on Metal Gear Solid's Rex & Ray in Lego Blocks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really like this quote from his FAQs

    "Finally, if you do build replicas of my customs, even with a few changes, please do not post pictures publicly without giving me credit and linking to my site ( http://www.saber-scorpion.com ) because I really don't want anyone else taking credit for my work"

    "134989".... six digits

  11. simcity 2000 trick, would it work now? on Gridlock Expert Takes On Sim City Streets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember in simcity 2000 a great strategy was to start your road in the center of the map, then have it be one continuous spiral outwords. there were absolutely no intersections but your road covered all the map. the newer versions probably take into account the fact that the trip would be enormous.

  12. Re:But the question is "what's the incentive?" on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 1

    my friend works at a Konica warehouse, where they test and ship out copy machines. He was told that on the extreme high end copy machines there, they will shut down if you try and copy currency. He was also told the IRS needs to turn the machine back on. I don't know that I believe the latter half, but I definitely believe that the machine has built in measures that prevent the copying of currency.

  13. Re:Active Games on Donkey Konga - Nintendo's Drumming Oddity Analyzed · · Score: 1

    what does that say about people when they consider moving your wrists around a little bit "active", and focus on the gains made in hand eye coordination. it is about as active as me typing this response. if you want some activity, go shoot some hoops. play some street hockey. dont try and justify being attached to a television by slapping your wrists around. if that were true, masturbating to porn videos would be the new exercise craze.

  14. Re:Why See the Movie When You Can Wait for the DVD on LOTR: Two Towers Extended Edition Reviewed · · Score: 1

    well your wife's point of view is from that of someone who has not spent the last year/decade/lifetime frothing at the lips for this

  15. is that so... on Microsoft's Guide to Accepting Donated PCs · · Score: 1

    from the naked pc page - "Mention that preinstalling the operating system on the new PC saves considerable time, expense and trouble."

    ohh really. thats strange, i didnt know they hyped installing windows as "considerably time consuming, expensive, and troublesome!"
