  1. Everyone knows on Cause of Aurora Borealis Confirmed · · Score: 1

    it's Santa Clause's doing! :)

  2. presidential debate on YouTube to Host Presidential Debate · · Score: 1

    fake.

  3. Re:shame for soccer fans on English Premier Football League Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    It's pretty damn easy these days to watch soccer online: http://www.sopcast.org/ is just one option

  4. I have an idea... on X Prize For a 100-MPG Car · · Score: 1

    for a vehicle that is wayyyyy more efficient than the average car, uses two wheels, is inexpensive to manufacture, never breaks down, is easy to operate, corners like a dream, and is light enough to carry. I just can't figure out what to call it!

  5. Re:Great Game on Grad-School Thesis Becomes PS3 Game · · Score: 1

    The fun thing about the game is simply experimenting with different ways to customize the growth of your creature. It's very satisfying to have played very carefully in order to end up with a creature that, for example, has a dozen segments that alternate between ones that have fins and ones that don't. There is a thread on the forums where people post their customized creatures; it's pretty neat to see the interesting results you can get from such a simple game.

  6. Cooool! on Icebergs Sailing Past New Zealand · · Score: 1

    "While not necessarily a consequence of global warming it is very cool!" Haha, because they're icebergs! They are COOL! Get it? I did!

  7. Re:Too much of a good thing? on A Lot of Money for Playing Games · · Score: 1

    The thing is that a lot of the best pro gamers out there (at least for the FPS games which I am most familiar with; eg. Q4) only play a couple of hours a day and simply have enough talent and experience to be able to win tournaments on a regular basis. Pro gaming can be a part time job as well. If I remember correctly, a couple of years ago when Paul Nelson (aka "czm") was most active in Quake 3, he was also a math student at Princeton.

  8. Re:Well, as long as IRAN doesn't get nukes... on The Man Who Literally Saved the World · · Score: 1

    And since when do the means justify the end (certain or otherwise)?

  9. Re:Only works if essay is submitted electronically on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 1

    Very true. Unfortunately, in my English Lit class, the prof has said we will be required to submit our term papers in electronic format so they can be submitted to a service such at turnitin. It seems to me that perhaps the best way to prove that a work belongs completely to me is to simply hold onto the notes and rough drafts that I have written out in pen. If absolutely required, by using these notes and drafts it would not be difficult to explicate the means by which each and every line of my final paper came into being.

  10. Re:Motives in Question on New Tolkien Story To be Published · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think that anyone who has read Christopher Tolkien's notes and commentary on Unfinished Tales knows that his respect for his father's work goes far beyond what words can describe. To suggest otherwise is, frankly, an insult to the man who must be considered _the_ Tolkien scholar of the world.

  11. What about... on High End Silent Cooling For Graphics Cards · · Score: 3, Insightful

    water cooling? It is becoming more popular and I can only imagine prices will start to become more reasonable. Completely silent, and more effective than fans/heatsinks; what more could you ask for?
