  1. Re:What about this? on Anti-Matter's Potential in Treating Cancer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Personally, I'd be more turned off by the idea of a growth of runaway cells taking over my body and killing me. If I had it, I'd happily let them dump a bit of antimatter in me, rather than DIE.

  2. We should invade. on Chimps Found Making Own Weapons to Hunt for Food · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't care what the UN says. Those weapons could be dangerous. If we got Hitler when he was at this stage, imagine how many people we'd have saved.

  3. Re:head in sand vs change on Music Execs Think DRM Slows the Marketplace · · Score: 1

    ...rip it from a CD and lose quality, or use illegal methods of removing the DRM.

    Syntax error. Illegal use of OR.

  4. Re:Someone on A New Twist On Skywriting · · Score: 1

    I totally agree. Posting on slashdot and taking a $50 million dollar jet on a joyride to scribble two letters on a pixelated map of the US are both equal wastes of time.

  5. It doesn't matter on RIAA Says CDs Should Cost More · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I still won't buy them.

  6. Re:Probably all true. on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1

    You seem to have missed my point, and agreed with me :)

  7. Re:Probably all true. on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1

    so long as you don't want to write to ntfs....

    The inability to write to NTFS is not Linux's problem.
    Try writing to EXT3 in Windows (without help from a third party)

  8. Re:Government is a puppy: Dangerous when bored. on Net Neutrality to Win Big on Capitol Hill? · · Score: 1

    I'm no historian, but I believe the war with Mexico was fought with a volunteer army. In other words, we had no army, we decided to fight Mexico, people said "Yes, I'd like to fight Mexico" and we did that.

  9. Re:Maybe something like this. on Lucas, Ford to Start Filming New Indiana Jones Film · · Score: 1

    I agree about ToD. I hope movie #4 will make a complete trilogy of 3 good films.

    So long as Indy's trying to find a Christian artifact before the Nazis do, I'll be happy.

  10. Re:the only one i can think of that i've seen on What Movies Got Computers Right? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, two AOL users who get no spam. Very realistic :D

  11. Re:OMGWTFPWND!!! on RIAA Sues XM Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    Don't worry too much. Check out her website, 6 years later. Does she have all her songs in mp3 format to download and a tip jar? No, she's got one song available via WMA or flash and a link to the iTunes Music store. Also, check out the Riaa Radar on her latest album.

    I know I feel better.

    Nice speech though.

  12. Amusingly horrid on Some of the Strangest Computer Mice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Okay, the cursor shaped mouse is just stupid, as is the one with the keypad where you rest your palm. The only one of those that I'd even consider using is the skype phone, but for the reason the OP said even that one's not good.

    The powerglove picture didn't load, so I don't know exactly how that one works, but I can guess. Yikes.

  13. Re:In CBG's voice... on The World's First Banner Ad · · Score: 1

    Yeah, as a poor text-only user, a domain name that almost takes up the entire 80-column display is an insta-skip.

  14. Aggregation not the problem on Defying Review Aggregation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't read game reviews any more, but not because of access to aggregation sites. I don't read them any more because they are generally paid ads for the game or fanboys who just go on and on about how great it is that Joanna Dark's boobs are made from so many polygons.

  15. Broadband 1 / Dial-up 5 on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1

    In my moderately limited experience ridding computers of spyware, adware, viruses, etc, I have had to work on 1 machine hooked to a broadband internet connection, and 5 without. So, really, you should get broadband, it's MORE safe!

    Seriously, if my data proves anything, it's that it's not the connection, but the connector. If you haven't gotten viruses on dialup, you'll likely not get them on broadband.

  16. Re:iTunes Payola on iTunes Credited with Boosting Primetime Ratings · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wait, you're mad that televisions executives would dare to LOWER THE PRICE in order to increase downloads of their shows? Are you insane?

    Lower the price all you want, television executives! Make BSG episodes available at 10c each!

    Next, you'll complain that Fox will start rebroadcasting Firefly in order to trick you into watching their channel again.

  17. Re:Two quickies on Fictionalized Storylines Absent from Podcasts? · · Score: 1

    Oops, I surrounded that second one with and but I actually used the greater than and less than symbols.

  18. Two quickies on Fictionalized Storylines Absent from Podcasts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    First: Spaceship radio at http://www.spaceshipradio.com not only does sci-fi radio dramas from the 50's, but also is working on coming out with new content.

    Second: Planet Retcon at http://planetretcon.com is my website and I'm working on episode 1 of an original "sitcom in space" sort of podcast.

  19. Image alt tags on Google Zeitgeist '05 · · Score: 1

    I think it's amusing that the ALT tag on each image is either 'Harry Potter' or 'Star Wars', no matter what the chart is for.

    I wonder which page they did first?

  20. Re:Exciting times on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 3, Funny

    *Right now, we have neither the ability to cause significant pollution, nor the capability to avoid it, so it's doubly moot.*

    Until a paperclip tears through your passenger cabin at 10km/s

  21. Re:The Final Frontier? on Miss Digital World 2005 · · Score: 1

    *Usa*

    Isn't that where Jar Jar Binks lives?

  22. Re:Idiot Perspective on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 3, Insightful

    *What if the people on this show are just actors? Who would be the idiot then?*

    The same people who are the idiots now: The people who watch the show.

  23. Liveblogging on 2005 SpikeTV VGAs Air · · Score: 1, Funny

    Please never use that word again.

    Thank you,

    --The entire internet

  24. Re:How long do they have weightlessness? on Zero-Gravity Sports League In Development · · Score: 1

    *Parabolic flight typically involves SEVERAL parabolas... each parabola experiences anywhere between 20-35 seconds of zero gravity*

    So, what you're saying is they should scrap the idea of 0-G football and instead do 0-G basketball. 20-35 seconds between timeouts sounds about right for that.

  25. GTA: MMO on MMOFPS Games The Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    Wake me up when they make MMOGTA
