  1. Its just one of the many on Did Benjamin Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    forms of control we must abide by.

    Your lazy CEO has to make his billions while you're living in at your parents, not making enough to be attractive to any women, right?

  2. Because, as we all know, the answer to life on Why People Don't Live Past 114 · · Score: 5, Funny

    is 42. And 114 is 42 backwards if you add the 1's together. The opposite of life is death - metaphysically speaking of course.

    Look a bunny!

    what?

  3. Just at the right time on Norway Brings DNA Sequencing To National Healthcare · · Score: 1

    We need to keep mister blonde!!!

    I don't know if blonde hair blue eyes girls are evil, but they sure are beautiful and when we get to the point where all the genes have been mixed together and we all look like goobacks from southpark, bringing back some "neanderthals" from the 21st century couldn't possibly be a bad thing.

  4. Planet Starbucks.... on WikiLeaks To Ship Servers To Micronation of Sealand? · · Score: 1

    And next, the Army of the MPAA.

  5. Re:No confidence. on Protect IP Act May Be Amended · · Score: 1

    The other side of the coin is the sad reality that people seem to need a cattle prod in the arse to wake up. We have a society of sheepel at the moment. When the shit hits the fan because of this, perhaps it will wake people up into realize the one party system we are truly in, and retake government. Of course, this is going to be next to impossible. Sheepel will not change, and the people in power will find round about ways of keeping their interests in mind while ignoring the masses. It would literally take mass killings of politicians who have proven to make stupid mistakes for them to crawl out of their 10,000 thread count Egyptian cotton threaded slippers lined with bald eagle feathers and start to fear the populous, as was intended.

  8. On second thought on FOX To Host New Cosmos · · Score: 2

    Sagan would absolutely want it played to the masses if it would educate. Just being on fox makes me cringe though - even though seth macfarlane is the producer - which is really cool. :D

  9. 10 - No! on FOX To Host New Cosmos · · Score: 0

    20 goto 10

    If Carl Sagan were alive, and knew what FOX was all about these days, he would never agree to having his show re-made. Its cool - yes. Its needed - yes. Will it have more than 2 episodes, or will tthey dumb it down to the masses?

    For those guys out there with a girlfriend from ages 20-28 (a large FOX demographic, ask them to watch the original Cosmos. Consider yourself a lucky man if you have a woman that can watch more than 15 minutes, understands it, and wants to watch the next episode.

  10. OMGOSH! The googlecentiPad on Google Grabbed Locations of Phones, PCs · · Score: 1

    has come to life! Or whatever they called it on southpark. I for one, will not be on google+ as from the beginning it reeked of snooping, and since its designed to be one better than facebook, well... of course its going to do that.

  11. 1.5 years ago I predicted in 2 years... on Facebook More Hated Than Banks, Utilities · · Score: 1

  12. BOYCOTT on Capcom Announces Unreplayable Game · · Score: 1

    Boycott this game. Not much else needs to be said, unless you lack common sense... In which case, not much else needs to be said, but please hand me that frying pan so I can knock some common sense into you.

  13. Granted this is something I wouldn't do... on Fired IT Worker Replaces CEO's Presentation With Porn · · Score: 1

    but I bet that guy got his sentence, and said... "WORTH IT!"

  14. Not sure how this made the news on The Science of Lightsabers · · Score: 1

    but it was a funny read. And, if you had billions of dollars, maybe you could pull off a prototype that would have no real world functionality. Besides maybe a mexican jedi fiesta with jaba the hut pinata's.

  15. You can see it coming like a freight train on Just Months After Jeopardy!, Watson Wows Doctors · · Score: 1

    When "computers go wild," for a brief moment in time, humans will say "Woa... we made movies about this happening. Why were we so blind?"
    BrNah, i'm completely kidding. "Insert Carl Sagan famous quote here."

  16. Re:hey editor guy! on Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page · · Score: 1

    Funny stuff! I've read a lot of your comments and have to stop after this one. I remember as soon as Obama got elected, all the conservatives in my state were running out to buy every remaining piece of ammo and saying "That obama guy is gonna take all our guns away."

    It makes me sad, because in case you haven't been paying attention, both retardlicans and dummycrats are doing exactly the same thing when they are in office. Canada laughs at us because we only have a two party system. Could it possibly be because they are on the same side and just playing people like yourself? I'm not trying to troll you, i'm just throwing you an angle you might not have thought about yet.

    Mister T and Philip Fry for Pres/VP!!!!

  17. FTA on AC/DC Music Attracts Great White Sharks · · Score: 1

    "They will be trying out Led Zeppelin, the white stripes, and wolfmother."

    (or something close to that)

    That is exactly what I thought as soon as I read "low frequencies.... Jimmy Page's les paul almost invented that sound. Although, could it be the voice? We aren't using a controlled environment with these additional bands as all of the voices are very unique (not canned boy bands).

  18. oh wait... that was bought by MS as well (integrated into xbox360 VOIP i believe?)

  19. Causation != correlation on Ugly Truth of Space Junk · · Score: 1

    However, if you step back for a second, and compare our "orbit" with our environment, we see an interesting trend.

    Even the smartest of us didn't forsee something as simple as "Hey - if you put something up there, you're going to have to deal with it."

    Unless of course you don't believe in global warming, then please take your trollisms elsewhere.

    In a movie, a kid asked the question "What makes America great?"

    "Our endless appeals system."

    This was the tobacco lobbyist in Thank You for Smoking.

    The whole apple music thing has always confused me. Why didn't they go with something already existing? This would make sense, but we know Apple is out to make dollars. By whatever means possible of course.

  22. Re:Occam's Razor on Why Men Don't Have Sensory Whiskers and Spiny Genitals · · Score: 1

    Or possibly the link they proclaim between the larger brain and lack of penile spines indicates that the "spineless" male figured out how to get more mates.

  23. re: lobbyists on Researchers Develop Biofuel Alternative To Ethanol · · Score: 0

    This is what makes me weep when I read these articles. Good ideas will be shut down. Its almost a totalitarian rule, if you will. The more prudent article would be "HOW an alternative energy can go fist to fist with big oil."

  24. introverts vs extroverts? on How the PC Is Making Consoles Look Out of Date · · Score: 1

    I don't want to get too off topic, but could there be any relation between pc gamers being more introverted and console gamers being the exoverts?

    There is nothing wrong with either one, or either way you play a game. For the most part (for the most part!!!) pc games are more strategy based and require analytical skills which tend to favor the introvert. You could say console games are more focused on the immediate. Be it football, golf, street fighter/tekken type, guitar hero, etc... all of these are things you do with other people.

    Video games are a pastime to me and I greatly enjoy sharing almost all types (not sports except golf) with my friends.

    The other weekend, I showed an EXTREMELY non-technical buddy Starcraft2. I told him it was a bit like chess, and you played against other people online, and the average game time is about 15 minutes. He watched a game, and (as he is intelligent) noted when I did something key in the battle. At the end he was as pumped up as when his favorite football team wins. He even wanted to watch me play a second one. He is very extroverted and hardly will touch a PC. Posting a craigslist article is something he is afraid of. He also loves console games.

    Starcraft2 players read forth....

    I would do little commentaries on my play as the game progressed... Here is probably some banter that occurred....

    "OH SHIT!!! I hate when zerg 6 pools. Ok, so what I need to do is go all in zealots and i'll win. Simple concept." I explained one zealot can kill multiple zerglings and since he was going an "all in" if I made sure to one up his all in, I would win. Yes, i'm a leisurely player and a bronzie.
