  1. Bring it on! on Time Warner Cable NYC Begins DVR Distribution · · Score: 1
    This is just the next step towards the uber-specific TV commercial placement of the future.
    And the problem with this is? Maybe they'll stop showing 4 tampon commercials an hour on TNN. Not what i wanna see while watching Bond. Seriously, if there were better commercials i might actually watch them!
  2. Re:Cloudy days. on Surgery Using A Sunlight Scalpel · · Score: 1
    We can literally wear shorts outdoors on Christmas.
    Thats good, because we wouldn't want you to figuratively wear shorts outdoors on Christmas.
  3. In other news... on Microsoft Deploys Linux, Open Software in Test Lab · · Score: 1

    Hell has frozen over, film at 11.

  4. Re:Mice With Wings on Clammy Modding · · Score: 1
    Just stuff a little bit of some absorbant material inside the mouse (i.e. a small corner of a feminine napkin) to absorb said moisture.
    Feminine protection for mice? A mouse pad? Sorry, that was just on an ep of dilbert i was just watching...
  5. Old People and Touch Screens... on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 1

    I renmember hearing in my government class that Florida was experminetingn with using touch screens in voting machines, but being florida there were problems. The old people would run their finger along the screen to read, and thereby vote accidentally. Noones gonna trust computers with stuff like this untill maybe 2 more generations die out.

  6. Erm... on Open Standards for Cell Phone Components · · Score: 2, Informative

    The standard jack on your cd player is probably a 3.5mm sterio plug, this is standard. Most cell phones i've seen have a 2.5mm headset jack, one channel to the earpice and the other to the mic. This seems to be pretty standardized, i can use my jabra headset, the headset that came with my cell phone, and the headset that came with my mini land line phone interchangably with my cell phone, mini landline and my cordless phone.

  7. Yeah, right... on Canadian Inventor: Pyramids Were Rocked Into Place · · Score: 1

    C'mon, we all know the Pyramids were built by aliens.

  8. Re:30% Empty on Another Beer Please · · Score: 1

    Heh, the cool pizza place in town has pizza servers, kinda a pie server w/ a serated edge for cutting, that say in big letters "Stolen from Pizza Shuttle" then they've got the number for deliveries on it. I always thought it was an interesting marketing tactic.

  9. The SCO Linux Game on Why SCO UNIX Is A Bad Idea · · Score: 5, Funny
  10. Why a case? on Lindows Webstation · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Low end processor and no HD mean LESS HEAT. So why did they put this stuff in a big empty box? I'd think a web terminal type pc would do a lot better packaged into something like this with a cheap LCD.

  11. Re:Tree Huggers Shouldnt Care.... on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    you said tree nazis, why should they care about a grass:p and in response to your username, mullets and star wars, a combination by people with way too much time on their hands

  12. Re:Executions... on Ending Organ Donor Shortages? · · Score: 1
    I guess we just need to bring back public hangings. Hell, they could broadcast them on tv...
    Just wait till next season on fox.
  13. Executions... on Ending Organ Donor Shortages? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If your talking about execution, there are problems with organ donations from death row inmates. In most states lethal injection is the preferred method, the chemicals used in this process however are so powerful that they render all the organs useless, same with gas chambers. Old sparky also destroys organs pretty effectivly. I do remember hearing about one guy who chose the firing squad so his organs (asiddes from the heart and probably a lung then) could be harvested.

  14. Tree Huggers Shouldnt Care.... on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    First off bamboo is a grass, second, i dont think depletion is a big deal, because bamboo can grow a foot in 24 hours.

  15. Remember your bike as a kid? on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1

    I dont know about everyone else, but my first couple of bikes only had one speed and no hand brakes. To slow down you just pushed back on the pedals. Damned if i know anything about the mechanism though, i was just a little kid and didnt care.

  16. Re:Sustainable? on Bamboo Bike A Reality · · Score: 1
    Rather than deforesting vast tracts of already endangered bamboo forests...
    Deforestation in general is killing pandas, but bamboo is easily replanted, i remember reading somewhere that it can grow a foot in a 24 hour period. This seems to be a much more viable option than any metal, or even carbon fiber, which i'm sure is expensive(costwise and energywise) to manufacture.
  17. We do this in class... on Flash Mobs: Peaceable Assembly for Spontaneous Fun · · Score: 1

    If the lesson or whatever is done and people are just working, me and my frinds will pick up our bags or whatever, stand up, then everyone else gets up to leave. Then we sit back down and watch the people leave and the teacher yelling at them that the bell hasn't rang yet. Fun with sheeple.

  18. Re:The Star Wars Kids Videos on Slashback: Railing, Blocking, Scoffing · · Score: 3, Informative

    it wasn't a locker, it was an unlocked filing cabinet in the a/v room

  19. The SCO/Linus RPG on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 1
  20. Irony on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I went and looked at the list, kinda funy that the bottom ad is for something that lets you "listen to your mp3s from anywhere".

  21. I dont care when its out... on No Doom 3 This Year? · · Score: 4, Funny

    but idspispopd better still work.

  22. Re:Great for highschool bands on Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store · · Score: 1

    mmm, you can really taste the motorheadand if you have no idea what i'm talking about google wmse radio roast

  23. Re:All from the top and side... on The Star Wars Alphabet Project · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Y-wing from the top, A-wing from the top and i guess the B-wing looks like a lower case 'b' from the side, but i think thats stretching it a bit.

  24. Re:Affirmitive Action for pronouns on WiFi Hotspots Elude RIAA Dragnet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Before their first contact with humans, the hermats used a combination of she/he/it(try prononcing it as written, without the slashes;)), but none of the starfleet captains couldn't keep a straight face about it.

  25. I call shenanigans! on Engineering From Science Fiction · · Score: 1

    *gets broom* Nice troll, but francium has a half life of about 18 minutes.
