  1. Re:Possibility? on Real Networks Hacks iPod; .rm & Real Store for iPod · · Score: 0
    See Apple's AAC page to get a clue.

    There is no need to be such a prick dude.

    Granted the parent didn't have all the facts, but the heart of their statement was valid. Perhaps Real did recreate Apple's format (in other words the specific combination of AAC and fairplay). Most of that work would involve implementing their own version of fairplay that was compatible with the ipod, and that is a very likely possibility.

    P.S. Play nice.

  2. Re:One evolutionary miracle down, two to go... on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1
    Not really. If it is in fact a genetic mutation, there's a pretty good chance (lets say 50-50%) that the trait can be passed along to offspring.

    Seeing as how this took place due to an ilness, I'd say it is unlikely that anything took place on a genetic level and that (as the article hinted at) more of a behavioral modification. This being the case, the chances of the behavior being passed along to others Macaques who are exposed to this one is quite possible.

  3. Re:"cherry-pick"??? on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: 1

    When you pick cherries, you choose only the best ones that you find. .... The analogy fits.

  4. Oh uhh yeah on From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps · · Score: 1
    Given a title like "From Your PC to Reality in 3 Easy Steps", I really thought this was going to be a thread on how to end an MMOG addiction.

    Off to RTFA...

  5. Re:I am a.. on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1
    Poppin' and lockin' B-boy that works in a Novell shop. Yes, I get more play than everyone else in the office. Caucasian women seem to respond really well when I break out the beats in the server room and do windmills...eat THAT suit and tie monkeyboy!

    Uhhhhhhhhh jiggy?

    Totally nitpicking here, but U2 isn't british, they're from Ireland.

    Same thing. *Time to go back into hiding here*
    ;-)

  7. Re:Yes on Is Math A Sport? · · Score: 1
    Thats interesting. I would have thought that somebody with a math degree would be smart enough to know that math is not a sport.

    Always remember:
    Academic Smarts != Common Sense

  8. Re:Movie on I, Robot Hits the Theaters · · Score: 5, Funny
    Frink: You've got to listen to me. Elementary chaos theory tells us that all robots will eventually turn against their masters and run amok in an orgy of blood and the kicking and the biting with the metal teeth and the hurting and shoving.

    Scientist: How much time do we have professor?

    Frink: Well according to my calculations, the robots won't go berserk for at least 24 hours.

    (The robots go berserk.)

    Frink: Oh, I forgot to er, carry the one.

  9. Re:And get paid 40% less? No thanks. on Why Offshore When Canada's Next Door? · · Score: 1

    I have to imagine the parent poster meant to say "cost of living" rather than standard. I love to visit Canada every so often, and never once thought I was traveling through the third world.

  10. Re:In other news... on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 4, Funny
    One of these days, us Autosexuals will band together and have pride parades!

    Is this some weird way of declaring that you have sex with gay cars? Not that I have a problem with that mind you, it's your perogative. I just want to get the message straight. Err, I mean clear.

  11. Re:the annoying "buzz" on Modding Laser Tag Gear? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I agree with the gist of what you're saying in that many of the replys to the thread have been along the lines of "play a real game of paintball instead".

    Though the question was 'how can I make laser tag more realistic'. The answer of paintball is almost a legitamate solution, but doesn't answer the actual question posed. On the other hand, there's probably not much that can be done to increase the laser tag realism factor.

    On the other other hand, your post made me want to get my bicycle out of the shed and onto a muddy trail.

    Comedian: I finally got around to reading the dictionary...turns out the Zebra did it (crowd laughs)
    Homer: I don't get it
    Lisa: Dad, the Zebra didn't do it, its just a word at the end of the dictionary
    Homer: I still don't get it.
    Lisa: It's just a joke
    Homer: Oooh! I get it! I get jokes.. ahahahahahahaha

    I'm having a 'Duh' day. Could somebody please 'splain the parent's Gates joke?

    Hopefully he isn't going senile or he'd have trouble keeping track of such occurances.

  14. Re:Well then.. on Fetuses Provide Stem-Like Cells to Mothers · · Score: 1

    It removes the fetal cells from the womans body and halts any stem-cell-like transfer from happening in all likely-hood. No big mystery here.

  16. Re:One year old? on Eye Transplant Enables Blind Boy to See · · Score: 4, Funny
    They went to punch him in the face and when he flinched, they screamed "SUCCESS!".

    Afterwards, the doctors gave him two punches to the arm for "flinching like a wussy". Doctors can be so childish sometimes.

  17. Re:oblig superman ref on New Radar Sees Through Walls · · Score: 1
    I thought I had a retort to this, but then I noticed that you actually drew an ascii schematic of somebody looking through a wall. It was at this moment that I realized I had been defeated. You win.

    ....this time!

    Not bad, but you missed Jerry's obligatory Super Man reference. =)

  19. Re:Lemon Law on Why Can't Microsoft be Sued Under the Lemon Law? · · Score: 1
    Oh sure, let a silly thing like legality dictate what the law can do.

    So while the lemon laws might not fit, I'd suspect some sort of action could be run through the Better Business Bureau. What exactly you'd try to nail them with is up to you. I'm more of an idea man.

    While some folks ask "why bother?", I proclaim "bitchin' case-mod dude!!"

  22. Zeppelin NT ? on Zeppelin Flies Again · · Score: 4, Funny
    From the article: We named it "ZeppelinNT because we want people to know that it will be patched regularly to keep it from crashing".

    Personally I'll never understand marketing folks. =)

  23. Re:Heat is photons too on Look Inside A PC-killing WIPO Treaty · · Score: 1

    We're still emitting photons even if the room is warmer than we are. Unless of course you're talking about a cadaver, and even then it'll output *some* IR for a while.

    She has a custom made boat (physics, specialized transportation design)

    She expects to lose 30 pounds (lots of nerds need to lose weight / Physical effects of long term physical stress is a good topic of scientific discussion)

    Quit flapping your bitching hole.

    Simple enough. I have my Mac upstairs with RCA cables running downstairs. I use that remote to control to computer upstairs with this.

    The whole setup works pretty smooth, and with some custom apple-scripts, it does everything I want.
