  1. Oh, that makes me so mad!!!! on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1
    Ralph - "Jerry, theres nothing you can do...."

    Jerry = "I guess i'll just have to develop a sence of humor then"

  2. In related news on ATI All-In-Wonder X1900 PCIe Review · · Score: 1

    about 10,000 geeks worldwide just became 700 dollars poorer

  3. Actually, many studies have shown that on Fight Tooth Decay with Electricity · · Score: 1
    simply brushing your teeth with a flouridated toothpaste is more than enough. In one study, the amount of tooth decay among those with flouridated toothpaste AND flouridated tap water was only 2% less than those with only flouridated toothpaste.

    And flouride is a poison anyways, so any change is a good change if you ask me.

  4. Imagine just using your mic on Choosing Your Voice For Online Gaming · · Score: 1
    and talking that way.... Wait - thats too much to ask from the majority of people under the age of 20.

    There was one game that I really enjoyed with terrific teamplay. Natural Selection. Its a Half Life 1 mod. Havn't played it much since I got BF2, but I am anxiously awaiting the team to come out with their new offering. If you have HL installed, go to unknownworlds.com/ns and try this sucker. Its a FPS with a little bit of RTS in there. Good stuff

  5. Re:Uncertain results as experiments? I don't think on The President, The State of the Union, and Genetics · · Score: 1

    hypothesis = There will be a winner in the superbowl. Don't bother.

  6. Wha? on The President, The State of the Union, and Genetics · · Score: 2, Interesting
    creating or implanting embryos for experiments

    This just makes me wonder how many people vote for the right, but then get embryo transplants when they can't have a kid. I mean, that IS an experiement, becuase you do not know if it will work. *sigh* (I voted nader or something like that ;) )

  7. Re:Lobbyists are just bad on Internet Firms Raise Profile on Capitol Hill · · Score: 1

    well, living towards the US/Mexico boarder, I do feel the need to add one point. Although your arguement is very well founded, I feel it to be flawed in one aspect. The "immigrants" (lets assume mexicans in this scenario) from mexico for the mostpart come to the US for low paying construction jobs. We all know that. But what happens to most of them in the winter time? They take their money that they have horded away while living in a one bedroom apartment with 10 other mexicans and go back to mexico with thier families where they live like kings through the US winter. I used to work on a golf course - I have first hand accounts.

  8. Lobbyists are just bad on Internet Firms Raise Profile on Capitol Hill · · Score: 5, Insightful

    if we want to ever have a decent form of government, we can't have the big corps making all the rules. We are "THE PEOPLE" and when "A COUPLE OF PEOPLE" are making the rules instead of us, then why don't we just bend over for them to save some time. ;(

  9. 5th grade on 7 Myths About The Challenger Disaster · · Score: 1

    saw it all happen. I got the idea something was going wrong and then all of a sudden it blew up. My teacher freaked - he turned off the TV and left the room to cry.

  10. Oh Wowzers... I thought that title said on Massively Multiplayer Games For Dummies · · Score: 1

    "MMO's are for dummies" - thats funny

  11. I welcome our new rulers on Google to Compete with iTunes? · · Score: 1

    I've been waiting for an alternative for iTunes for a while now

  12. In the biology field on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: 1

    its pretty much standard, even living in the bible belt, that evolution is "the one". My physiology teacher even flat out tells you that in his syllubus. But thats the super confusing thing about evolution - you can prove it happened, but you can't prove how the first organism sprung to life.

  13. Can we get a layman's version of something? on Intel Makes 45nm Chip · · Score: 1

    Why is it that intel can't get their thing together with clock speeds. AMD is crushing them in quite a few areas, so with this transistor shrink, will they perhaps change the very application happy architechture??

  14. Actually, this could be good on Family Guy's Stewie to Host Talk Show · · Score: 3, Funny

    I mean, its stewie - which is great, but if McFarlen makes up the questions for the interviews, it would be fabulous, becuase hes a very deep guy and a brilliant philosopher.

  15. Anyone remember googlezon? on Yahoo! Yields Search Dominance to Google · · Score: 1

    I think that was the name of it - showing how google would merge with amazon and make some hilarious new system in which all your info would be right there for the world to see.

  16. risk vs reward..... on Is Obsolescence Good Computer Security? · · Score: 1

    and I think the reward part is what we are all in for right? I know i'd have to take some massive tranquillizers if I switched to dial-up. Not to mention I wouldn't be able to play online games as well (of course).

  17. Can we really call it a sun if on Nemesis, the Sun's Binary Star Companion? · · Score: 0

    it doesn't give us a sunburn? Come now

  18. ipod owners just aren't as savvy on iPod Owners Not Thieves · · Score: 1

    its simple.... I'd bet that 25% of windows users know how to download music while 9% of ipod owners do. Apple has always made its products moron proof, so its not suprizing a bit if you think about the people who are using the products.

  19. i've got CD's that have lasted since 97 on Burned CDs Last 5 years Max -- Use Tape? · · Score: 1

    got my first burner in october of 97. Burned a few that i've kept on to and they still work in any drive, and suprizingly, they are the few that work in EVERY drive i've tried whereas some burns from a later burner are sort of flaky.

  20. Re:Server not found! on Your Cell Records For Sale Online, Cheap · · Score: 1

    I was thinking that this whole thing that I can prophesize articles on /. can be the NEW /. effect!

  21. this is SOOOOOO odd on Your Cell Records For Sale Online, Cheap · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    last night after smoking a doob I thought to myself.... since our rights are already being violated with the patriot act, how long will it take for the cell phone companies to start selling off our phone conversations... You don't have to believe me, but i'm not one to lie about something this serious

  22. Re:Is there much benefit to more 3d hardware? on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 1

    but for FPS, having a high end grphx card means life or death. I know in BF2 when i'm in a helo, I can tell if someone has a crappy card or not.

  23. I'm sorry but this looks not quite "real" on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 1

    am I the only one who has thought that? I mean really, who is going to buy 4 of those video cards? Are we supposed to believe a very smart company like nvidia would waste their time with a venture like this? If they expect us to believe that, then i'll believe that nvidia has reached their graphics card ceiling, becuase theres no way they would bother with quad sli, which about .025% of the population could afford / want. I only have a very high end AGP card and it runs every game out there quite nicely - only FEAR gives it any trouble.

  24. Re:why is it so hard just to on Indiana Tries to Pass Game Law Again · · Score: 1

    just goes to prove that neither side has it right - they are just throwing out cards for more votes. Pathetic.

  25. why is it so hard just to on Indiana Tries to Pass Game Law Again · · Score: 2, Insightful
    get cashiers to ID people buying video games? Where I live, if a cashier doesn't id you (unless you look like you are 80) they can loose their job and there are TONS of fines.... Do the same thing to the cashiers....

    What is the big deal here? Is Indiana a liberal or conservative state also?? (no flaming please, I just want to know)
