  1. Stating the obvious on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 1


    but isn't any games, or infact any action essential brain-controlled (exception made for political). Sure there might be additional items included in the path, like arms, hands, fingers.

    Eyes Wide Shut - Tom gets the best piece of ass ever.

  3. Re:Hollywood declares war on a classic on War of the Worlds Remake · · Score: 1

    Alien Resurrection was an utter piece of crap. It was the dying gasp of "lets make one more for the money". Unfortunately, since they'd killed off Ripley in #3, they had to come up with some contrived scheme to bring her back once again. She just looked bored the whole movie.

    And that Alien hybrid at the end was just pitiful. Everytime I catch it on cable I have to laugh. Looks like some poor smuck in a beat to sh!t Barney suit.

    They would have been better off dropping the Ripley / clone angle and going off in a new tangent. I always though a Doom type story would have been cool.

    Has there ever been a 4th iteration of a movie that didn't suck?

    Ask em for a company provided cell phone. Problem solved.

    Or am I missing something obvious?

  5. Re:I don't care... on US Army Scraps Comanche Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Never said it wasn't used. Just said it was being more or less relegated to the Reserve, you know, the Weekend Warrior crowd.

    But I defer to an expert such as you.

    The A-10 completed its production run eons ago. The Air Farce plans on replacing them with F-16's. I beleive most of em have been shuttled off to the reserves. Typical.

    Loved watching them do thier thing on the Fort Drum gunnery range. Had the fortune of having an Apache do a pop-up over a hill while I was driving by one afternoon. Scared the bejesus out of me.

  7. Re:Assembly AND Military Experience Required on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Cept of course if they take you out while its sitting up on cinder block in the backyard.

    Can you hear the things from where you are

    No, but I'm at least a good thousand miles away. Maybe if they turn it up to 11.

  12. Re:Hubble, space station, which is it? on NASA Engineers Dispute Hubble Safety Claim · · Score: 1, Insightful

    More to the point, if Hubbles useless, why are we gonna drop some change on the James Web Telescope? That suckers gonna be put in an orbit that won't be servicable. So after launch, and the subsequent breakdown due to metric-english conversion, we'll have a really pretty star to watch orbiting the planet.

    Same could be said about the Star Wars and other tie-ins.

  18. Re:Staffing still an issue on The Walking Dead of Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    2 hrs to go 40 miles? Oh, the pleasure of living in rural America. Ten miles, 15 minutes tops, if the two traffic lights are against me. An occasional stop, once in awhile, to let the cows cross.

    Granted, the -25F tonite is a bit much.
