  1. Re:talk about crappy risk assessment on Anti-Missile Technology To Be Tested on Commercial Jets · · Score: 1

    So basically what you're telling me is that my Mazda needs anti-car missiles? When are you running for office, so I can vote for you?

  2. Obligatory on Snortable Drug 'Replaces' Sleep For Monkeys In Trials · · Score: 1

    And I, for one, welcome our new, sleep-free monkey overlords! I'd like to remind them that, as a trusted internet personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground typewriting caves.

  3. Re:Sounds a bit like... on Penetration Testing TV Series Coming · · Score: 1

    What's really sad is that, since one of my hobbies is urban exploration, I didn't even get the joke. I had to read 12 comments in before I went back and looked at the title second time to figure out where all the sex comments were coming from.

    *Sigh*

  4. Re:Maybe they should make a console on The Dreamcast is Still Dead · · Score: 1

    Since the DS is stillcrushing the three "official" consoles, I think we should consider it as the fourth.

  5. Re:hrmmmm on Cloned, Glow in the Dark Cats · · Score: 1

    Except that its mouth and lips aren't glowing at all. I would fully expect any lab studying fluorescence to have a UV lamp that can light up more than three square inches. And this isn't all that impressive; zebra danios were modified with this specific gene several years ago, and they've been available commercially in the US for close to three years now. Gene therapy such as this is not really difficult at all, it's the cloning that makes the feat somewhat impressive.

  6. Re:oh good on Nintendo May Pull Wii Ads To Avoid Hype · · Score: 1

    Well, then, I consider bathing a fad!

  7. Re:This may be your last chance... on Copy That Floppy, Lose Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Well, let's see what happens in the next elections. If the people lose, you're welcome to establish here below the Bravo :)
    It's an election. We're already bound to lose.
  8. Re:Easy solution on Worry Over VZW, Sprint Phones' 911 Alarm · · Score: 1

    I, too, praise the ability to be late! :)

  9. Re:Number one cost is sky high salaries ... on NASA Goes Bargain Basement With New Satellite · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid that someone with doctorates in two physical sciences bring home $100K a year. . .

  10. Re:I'm reminded of what Ike said: on People Believe NASA Funded As Well As US Military · · Score: 1

    Whoops. It's the last remaining Kitty Hawk class carrier, which I was under the impression was the only class of "supercarrier." Turns out there are several classes in the "supercarrier" category. Yay! Now I know too much, and they're going to be coming to send me to Gitmo in the night. Write me!

  11. Re:I'm reminded of what Ike said: on People Believe NASA Funded As Well As US Military · · Score: 1

    Churning out more wonder weapons seems pointless when our current crop of fighters perform just fine. The problem is, "performs just fine" twenty years ago does not equal performing just fine today.

    Did you happen to hear about the Chinese submarine that just popped up next to the USS Kitty Hawk, the only US supercarrier, during a USN exercise last week? The submarine slipped past a protective ring of 12 other warships and at least two other submarines, just so the Chinese could tell us that they can do so.

    Obviously our technology is good enough. Jeez.

    What I don't understand is how they can build such good submarines and still sell us such crappy electronics :)
  12. Re:Not all games worth the same price. on EA Boss Says Games Too Expensive · · Score: 1

    You like the no subscription fees? Wait 'til v4 comes out :(

  13. Re:Consumer rights on Valve Responds to Steam Territory Deactivations · · Score: 1

    No, it's the other kind of pirate they put there.

  14. Re:Self counter-suit mayhem on Thompson Sues ESRB, Best Buy · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else read the parent's title as "Self Counter-Strike Mayhem?"

  15. Re:Dude! on Mythbusters to Test Cockroach Radiation Myth · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Russia, gamma sources are irradiated by YOU! *sorry*

  16. Re:Why? on Self-Sufficient Lunar Habitat Designed · · Score: 1

    Yes, and to some of us, doing research on the moon (astronomy and geology and low-G biology) would be a dream come true!

    Personally, research on Mars is what I really dream about, but I wouldn't turn down the moon. That would be like turning down sex with Jessica Alba because you really wanted sex with Jessica Alba and a goat. . .

  17. Re:Wanted: New R2 unit on X-Wing Rocket Launches, Disintegrates · · Score: 1

    How is this not modded +5 yet?

  18. RTFA on The Simpsons Game Tweaks Gaming Companies · · Score: 1

    "I don't know who specifically at Rockstar", Rizzer said. "I'm guessing probably more than anyone it was a lawyer. The people who work on that product, I doubt they were like, 'Stop that!'". So it seems as though the people who MATTER at Rockstar had nothing to do with it.
  19. Re:Why the PSP? on Japanese Airlines Ban DS, PSP · · Score: 1

    Do hammers count as switches?

  20. Re:It's a numbers game on Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students? · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. Doesn't it make sense that you are still here because you've pissed off God? He only takes the one he likes. . . ----Still here, too. Hail Satan!

  21. Re:Proof that the internet as reached the masses.. on Americans Giving Up Social Life for the Web · · Score: 1

    You're right. Today wasn't that long ago for me.

  22. And I, for one, welcome. . . on G.I. Joe No Longer the Real American Hero? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Our new international multicultural coed overlords!

  23. Re:In other news.... on G.I. Joe No Longer the Real American Hero? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, now, that's good news, but when is he going to send them the sharks?

  24. Re:source? on Why Are So Many Nerds Libertarians? · · Score: 1

    Probably the /. poll, where 22% claimed libertarian views, versus the 3% that makes up the American populace.

  25. Re:The Answer is Yes on Can Open Source Give Comfort To the Enemy? · · Score: 1

    Whether it is unbelievable propaganda is not the point. The point is that some people in the U.S. government believe the unbelievable propaganda. . .
