  1. Re:Betamax? on The Lost 1984 Mac Video · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, you are just to young to remember. I remember having "our" side of the video rental store and looking over at all the rich kids on the Beta side. Of course, there were also the videodisk freaks in the middle.

  2. Re:A little unnecessary? on Dancing Robots Help Preserve Japanese Culture · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why not just keep teaching the young? It doesn't matter that they don't want to (the young)--I know there are millions of young girls in America that are forced by over zealous parents into dance class.

    "...capitalists totally love monopolies even more than bacon..."

    mmmmmmmm....bacon

  4. Re:Can I be the first to say "duh"? on Conspiring Against Your Employer? Watch What You Email · · Score: 1

    Ha! Here in America the government just made sure my account doesn't have anything interesting worth looking at. Greedy bastards. (you'll have to excuse me, just realized I have to right a $10K check to the IRS for last year).

  5. Re:Great! Keep the Spacemen at Home on Spirit Rover is One Year Old · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Two miles in one year. Sending people (with rovers) would allow for that much exploration in a day (Earth/Mars day whatever). People can simply move around and sample at a far increased rate that our current level of automated technology.

  6. Re:Ha ha on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    If a pixel dies but nobody notices it, is it really dead?

  7. Re:Congress? on NASA Hoping To Create Super X-Prizes · · Score: 1

    Actually I think you mean toilet brush--$50 for an actual toilet isn't a bad price. http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productList&functi on=search&categoryId=TOILETS.CATEGORY&pad=true

  8. Re:Two words: on Lycos Declares War on Spam Servers · · Score: 1

    So, are you saying that when bandwitdh is spammed only the spammers will have bandwidth?

  9. Re:Damn it on Scientists Give Human Organs to Lamb · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "At what level is a chimera 'too' human?"

    When it asks for the right to vote. Of couse, I guess it really wouldn't make much of a difference.

    So what...it takes 3 Democrats to equal 1 Republican?

    "...none of the others will ever be their equal, nor better, for the mere fact that SC did it first..."

    I guess that would explain why "Wright Brothers Air, Inc." is the world's largest and most profitable airline...no, wait a sec...

  14. Re:Never attempt to turn off the ignition. on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1

    Great idea. Next time I am late I'll just cell call the police and say "Hey, my car is accelerating out of control...I can't stop it...please clear the way". After I reach my destination, hey amazing, it just happened to stop. Damned electronics.

  15. Re:If true, the stakes are now higher. on S. Korea Claims N. Korea Has Trained 600 Crackers · · Score: 1

    What I just don't understand is how they found 600 Georgians willing to train with them...

    Thanks for sharing the germs. Now, mind if I fart?

  17. Re:mistakes on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "That is a problem that we must fix."

    Great post and good points. However I would disagree that the electoral college is a problem that must be fixed. While not perfect it seems to be the best solution to the American setup. If one person is to be elected it should not be through the opinions of a handful of population centers. There are hundreds of different areas that think completely different but without the mass population. Either an electoral college style system must be used or there should not be a single leader to represent such different views.

  18. Re:Be wary - the legend of "In Romania..." on Romanian Team Entering X-Prize competition · · Score: 1

    We I have heard of many of those things before...in Japan.

  19. Re:Not pigs, but cigarettes on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 1

    Hehe...and my team thought we had it bad. I think I will print and post your question on our board as a reminder that the issues our group face--although annoying--could be much more disgusting.

    "...Realisticly this means there is no gurantee we can successfully pass the information on about where we have buried the stuff for the required length of time...."

    Hell, in America screwing future generations of humans is a primary operating principle...and we like it that way :)

  21. Re:Damn! on Hurricane Threatens Shuttle Program · · Score: 1

    ...What part of "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?...

    It would be the word "infringed". If something is at all open to interpretation then the boundaries are clearly not set--therefore difficult to tell when they have been crossed.

    As long as that selection includes the anal rape option--preferably by some Viagra pumped / endowment enhanced convict.
