    C'mon, be kind to the little guy! He's probably got shrinkage.

  2. Re:Are Yahoo even relevant anymore? on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 1

    Huff! Yah, and 'Google' ain't silly?

  3. Run through Google's secret universal translator on Singing Mice and Brain Chemistry · · Score: 1

    one passage came back: "Developers, developers, developers!" Another translated to "Come on, come on, get up, get up, give it up for meeeee!" It must be noted that the female mice at this point were paying attention but seemed quite uncomfortable and ready to bolt.

    That therapist is really paying off, eh?

  5. Of course! on Bill Gates Donates $258 Million to Fight Malaria · · Score: 1

    After all, he's familiar with the horror of the symptoms. He sees Balmer all jerky with the sweats every day. And every time he sees an iPod he starts rocking and gets the shivers himself.

  6. Apple uses this technology already... on Remote Control for Humans? · · Score: 1

    ...in the silhouette iPod ads. 'Course the shipping earpods have that feature turned off. Most of those people are Quickie Mart clerks with no dancing skills at all.

  7. That's what I got out of the title too... on IBM Leads Team to Alleviate Data Storage Woes · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah baby... alleviate my storage woes! Years and years of stored... nasty... data.

  8. Still don't understand... on No One Wins NASA Space Elevator Contest · · Score: 1

    if or when you become weightless in the elevator.

  9. Re:Question that's slightly off topic... on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    But when the elevator stops... are you weightless then? It's really no different than standing on the surface of the earth except for gravity weakening with distance, right?

  10. Re:aren't steroids bad? on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    Ah, yes then... "Apollo on a Nutritious Diet and Rigorous Exercise Plan".
    It rings!

  12. Question that's slightly off topic... on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    But it's been bugging me. When the Space Elevator is used in the future as a lift system to get out of the atmosphere, at what point would one riding on it be weightless since it goes straight up and you're never in free-fall?

  13. Oh, for Pete's sake... on Coding and Roleplaying - Is There a Connection? · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has a wife or a girlfriend knows how to role-play just to make the relationship work! So role playing games or no, most programmers, uh - have ...um... oh. Sorry. Nevermind. Didn't think. Go ahead and roll.

    Shame on you MS!

    I'm seeing more and more people use it as their de facto source for information.

  17. Re:For those who want it now on Video iPod Apple's First Bad Move? · · Score: 1

    I'm an Apple Affiliate so:

    and I guess the iPod Video replaces iPod Photo
    True.

    But then I think they had already merged the iPod with the iPod Photo, and the Photo was no longer a separate model.
    and True.

    The other models are 'gone'. The line is pretty sleek from a SKU standpoint. I've got 3 mini's left (want one?). An iPod is an iPod unless it's a nano or a Shuffle. 30 GB or 60 GB iPod - video tossed in as lagniappe. 99, 129, 199, 249, 299, 399. Nice tight price points that people naturally walk themselves up without much help from me.

  18. Re:iRiver beat them to it. on Video iPod Apple's First Bad Move? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh right... the iRiver H300 series devices! Catchy name. All over the press right? I just saw someone carrying one, uh - well it was... it was on a - trip - I think - or was it in an airport? Oh whatever. Yeah, I think I've heard if them.

  19. Re:How about doing a question and answer session . on Interview with Dr. Bradley C. Edwards · · Score: 1

    That's it - that's just great. You smacked the beehive with a stick... and there's nothing worse that a bee that drinks Bawls.

    You have a nano-sized conscience to go with your nano-sized morals and grammatical skills. However unlikely it is, I hope you own a shop one day.
