  1. Re:Cool beans. on USS Ronald Reagan Commissioning Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Like throwing cluster-bombs on entire villages because there possibly are some soldier there, thus kiling an entire village full of presumable innocent people.
    Or throwing a so-called smartbomb on a Red Cross hospital, because they had such a nice target painted on their roof.

    [sarcasm]Great, let's keep the war as short as possible.[/sarcasm]

  2. Hobbies on What's Your (non-tech) Hobby? · · Score: 1

    I play a 6-string Bass
    I Skateboard
    I'm the Sound-technician for a punkband
    I'm a DJ
    I'm a volunteer for the Red Cross (First Aid & Eergency Response)
    I play Blues-Harp
    And I play American Football
    And some other stuff, sometimes I wonder why I even own a house, seeing as I'm never there.

  3. Puberty on Hubble Chronicles Mysterious Outburst · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe it's going through puberty? Explosive growth without getting any brighter =;-]

  4. We're shielding ourselves from evolution on Evolution Endorsed by Steves · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IMHO with all the recent 'safety-measures' we humans are applying around us we are prohibiting the further evolution of the human race. Back in the good ol' days if you did something stupid you croaked. Now you either can't do something stupid or we'll fix you up again.
    This results in the human race getting weaker, because we don't 'filter' out the weaklings anymore.
    I propose some sort of auto-darwination law in which all safeguards against 'stupid' actions should be removed. (Eg. no more airbags and seatbelts)

    It's the only way to further ourselves! ;-]

  5. Don't forget... on Top Ten Software Innovators? · · Score: 1

    Sid Meier, for bringing us SimCity.

  6. Typewriters on Orangutans Helping Discover Our Evolution · · Score: 0

    If only all those chimps rewriting shakespeare on their typewriters would teach the trick to the orangutans...

  7. Password on Microsoft Intellimice and Bluetooth Issues? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Have you tried four zeros (0000)? It's the standard security code for most bluetooth devices.

  8. Another nice one on Memorable Programming Assignments? · · Score: 1

    This from a programming contest for Youths I entered when I was still young (10 years ago): write a program for 2 players (No AI needed) so that they can play the game of Rubik's Mirror. It's a four in a row game where the top half of the board is mirrored from the bottom half. You can put a new piece on the board, or move one of your own pieces one square. I don't know if you can find the complete rules somewhere, but google should help.
