  1. Goddamnit... on Ultra HDTV on Display for the First Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    And i just bought an HDTV last week.

  2. Re:USB on Outré USB Gadgets · · Score: 4, Informative

    The missile launcher is aimable and fireable through windows.

  3. Recycling isnt efficient. on Vaporizing Garbage to Create Electricity · · Score: 1

    Not counting the actual materials themselves, it actually uses less energy make more plastic than it does to recycle it. The only exception to this is aluminum.

  4. Oct. 2nd on IBM Announces Wii Chips In Nintendo Hands · · Score: 1

    I know it seems early, but i work in retail, we got the Q4 game release schedule, and theres nothing on the second, but Wii games start popping up on the 10th and 17th then. Also i guess there was a recent press release from nintendo that had launch dates for every week in Q4 except for then 2nd, Nov 20th and 27th. I dont think the Wii is gonna launch on the same day as the PS3 or after black friday, so that leaves the 2nd of october. Which, although a little earlier than everyone though, shouldnt cause problems, because the Wiis been in production for quite a while. I guess we'll see after the announcement on the 14th. Crap, i better get in line...

  5. Re:Classic Hollywood on The Biology of B-Movie Monsters · · Score: 1

    Remember the scenes after he was taken out of the pod and hes on the ship, where hes full of needles, i assumed they were electrically stimulating his muscles to rebuild him.

  6. It may not be HD... on Next-Gen Updates From Leipzig · · Score: 1

    I really hope the Wii outputs at least 854x480...

  7. Re:I call that a defect on Flash Drives Go To Work · · Score: 1

    Just pack things with thermite. Much easier.

  8. Only if you leave your door unlocked... on London Gamers Shoot It Out In The Streets · · Score: 1

    Hell, my adress is right on the outside of my house in big numbers where anyone could see it, but i've never had a problem with it...

  9. Galaxies sucked... on Fantasy Trumps Sci-Fi For MMOs · · Score: 1

    Galaxies sucked, but it could have been bigger than WoW if it had been any good. I dont want to play a fantasy MMO, i want to play a sci-fi one. I may start EVE online sometime soon, but what i'm really looking forward to is Tabula Rasa and Stargate Worlds. But i dont know when either of those are going to be released.

  10. More impressive... on Project Orion to Bring U.S. Back to the Moon · · Score: 2, Interesting
    the US went from first sub-orbital flight (Alan Shepard, Freedom 7, May 1961) to "concluding man's first exploration of the moon" (Apollo 18, December 1972) in 11 short years
    Something thats always impressed me about us as a species, if you take a step back and look at the whole of human history. We went from heavier than air flight to landing on our moon in just 66 years.
  11. Re:Screw the Q, give me an A1200 running linux! on Unmaking Motorola's Q · · Score: 1

    2008 probably, were always 3 years and a gen and a half behind asia. About half that for europe too, but decades behind Europes service.

  12. Or just get some construction paper... on Former Host and Writer of MST3K Launches RiffTrax · · Score: 1

    and some scotch tape.

  13. Niven did it... on Athens Breeding "Super Mosquitoes" · · Score: 1

    In Rainbow Mars he had people from an industrial polluted future, who where used to it, traveling back in time. They had to wear suits though, because they didnt build up enough CO2 with each breath in the old clean air. Then in one story they accidentaly destroyed Henry Ford's prototype and the time shift or whatever killed everyone in the future because the air changed before they did.

  14. Bad idea... on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    Doc Conners tried this, and well, you know...

  15. Or printed laminates... on QPAD XT-R Mouse Pad Review · · Score: 1

    Cheap ikea type furniture from office max with a fake wood veneer doesnt track very well because the printed wood grain is coarse enought that it looks like a newspaper (lots of little dots) to a mouse.

  16. It doesnt matter... on Liquid Cooling More than One Component? · · Score: 2

    It shouldn't matter, but if you're that worried about your chipset temps you could throw another 80mm rad in between the proc and northbridge. Plenty of people i know though run everything on one loop with only 1 large rad or just an aditional one between the proc and graphics card(s).

  17. Re:They finished farscape. on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    Nope, it picked up right where S4 left off, wraps up all the plot threads.

    From IMDB: After being crystallized in a case of mistaken identity, John Crichton and his pregnant lover Aeryn Sun are reassembled by their comrades D'Argo, Chiana, Noranti, and Rygel with a little help from some new allies. They believe that they are all free to live their lives in peace away from the war between the universe's dominant races, the Peacekeepers and the Scarrans, but soon find out that the wormhole knowledge that Crichton holds in his mind is the key to victory for either side, and are back on the run. Matters are made worse when Crichton and Aeryn's unborn child is transfered from Aeryn's body into Rygel's in a freak turn of events and they have to find a way reverse things back to their correct state. Meanwhile, they're forced to align themselves with their mortal enemies, Scorpius and Sikozu, in order to survive while trying to locate a race of people who have the power to spread peace before the war destroys all living things in the universe.

  18. Re:2 F's down, 1 to go! on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    Avaliable in a convenient boxed set with great commentaries for your purchase at local retailers. Or the pirates bay or tv underground or shareprovider or wherever the hell else. I've got the DVDs, but i wish i could find it for download in HD...

  19. Re:2 F's down, 1 to go! on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    Well, here in the states we have network channels. NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and to a lesser extent Fox are the big ones that are available for free over the airwaves just about everywhere in the country via local affiliates, each with their own news teams but they all run the same prime time programming. They're also the channels that have over the air HD... Cable, although it will carry local channels (in better quality since its not OTA), is what has all the other channels. Fox is a network channel avalible over the air, FX and Fox News are cable channels and ONLY avaliable through a cable (or dish) subscription.

  20. They finished farscape. on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    They didn't bring the show back completly, but they did at least do a mini-series and wrapped up all the loose ends.

  21. Thats not how it works... on Wii-mote In Action · · Score: 1

    Watch one of the earlier demos for Red Steel. See how it looks like a rail shooter because you're shooting things in the corners of the screen and not just the center. Movement/camera is controled via the thumbstick on the nunchuck attachment and the aiming and shooting is done with the main controler. The attachment also has motion sensing, so that would offer you everything you need. Thumb for movement, tilt for camera and pointing of the main unit for aiming.

  22. Re:Picture on Physicists Watch Individual Electrons Flow · · Score: 1

    Damn, try it @ 1680x1050...

  23. Officially 2F13 on Army Sent to Fight Millions of Invading Toxic Toads · · Score: 1

    Real simpsons nerds bother to fix the downloaded file names with the production codes.

  24. In that case... on Projecting Data on a Sphere · · Score: 1

    You could have one spinning projector inside, or 2 on different axis. Provided they spin fast enough...

  25. Re:Old hat on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Damn you for making me remember voyager.
