  1. A bit too enthusiastic IMO.. on NASA's Shuttle Plans · · Score: 1

    From TFA "As long as we put the crew and the valuable cargo up above wherever the tanks are, we don't care what they shed," he said. "They can have dandruff all day long." That's pushing it a bit, insn't it? This is insulating foa mwe'Re talkikng about, wouldn't the rockets possibly overheat and explode? IANARS but I don't know about this...

  2. Let's cut the tinfoil a bit on Lynn Settles With Cisco, Investigated By FBI · · Score: 3, Insightful

    FBI investigation =/= FBI hunting you down and cracking down on you and your ilk Just think for a moment about how many thousands things the FBI is currently "investigating" that you will never hear about.

  3. Re:But... Outlaw What? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    I'd rather just skip all the effort and declare victory now.

    Victory is mine!

  4. Re:But... Outlaw What? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    Okay, then you'll understand this, Mr Math PhD 1 hour X Y amount of pain 10,000 hours X Z amount of pain Go ahead, prove to me dying hurts more than being raped does, over the course of a life. This will be hilarious.

  5. Use common sense and TALK to our kids? on Parents Need To Be Informed · · Score: 5, Funny

    Where's the fantastic lawsuit opportunities in THAT? It'll never fly.

  6. Re:But... Outlaw What? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    Because a rape victim MAY experience happyness that person is better off? Guess what, maybe the dead man would have had nothing but bad luck and lived a shitty life of misery. Pointless hypothetics lead nowhere, buddy.

  7. Re:But... Outlaw What? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    But that's just the point - if you're dead,it's over. If you're raped, the nightmare is just beginning. Perhaps I didn't express it clearly enough. My mistake.

  8. Re:Oh jesus christ, what's next? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    Point at which they'd just need some funny hats and a few fight songs..then it would get really interesting

  9. Re:But... Outlaw What? on San Andreas Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    One could argue that rape "kills" a person longer -- that the victims never truely recover from it, and that it therefore causes, over time, a greater amount of harm.

  10. If video games train your brain... on Orson Scott Card on Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    My brain must be a level 60 Tauren Shaman by now.

  11. If Pluto is a planet... on Planet X Larger Than Pluto? · · Score: 3, Funny

    This rock I have in my backyard is a mountain.

  12. Re:Well, I for one.... on Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million · · Score: 1

    Ah, forgot the for-profit linux distros. My apologies.

  13. Re:Patent the sun! on Patent Examiners Flee USPTO · · Score: 1

    You'll have to deal with priort art

  14. Re:Looks like firefox on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 1

    Yup, and Greek Drama is just a poor imitation of IE7's user base finding out their browser is shit. FULL CIRCLE! Wait...

  15. Re:Well, I for one.... on Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million · · Score: 1

    Care to name an OSS that IS for profit? I'm at a loss here, although I must admit I don't know all that much about them.

  16. psst on Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod · · Score: 1

    Matters like this are very important to me, and video game companies like Rockstar need to know that even though they can get away with a lot in a game, they have to understand that censorship and good business practices are NOT one in the same!

    Moreover, they have to understand that censorship and good business practices DON'T ACTUALLY GO TOGETHER. Who the hell cares about ratings ? This grandma obviously didn't. Why should R*? Rampant hypocrisy is all this is.

  17. Misleading...an article from Reuters.. on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: 1

    and you yet linked to the yahoo!news version of it, while a perfectly working version exists on reuter http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?typ e=technologyNews&storyID=2005-07-27T231617Z_01_N27 287870_RTRIDST_0_TECH-TECH-TEENS-DC.XML

  18. I should sue the local strip club on Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod · · Score: 1, Redundant

    For "letting" me sneak in when I was 17. Obviously my actions don't matter as long as I can be the victim and sue, sue, sue.

  19. Ho-hum on RFID Tags To Track Foreigners, Identify Dead · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lobbying congress for RFID initiatives :
    $200,000,000
    350 million RFID chips :
    3,500,000,000$
    Tracking the location of every single potential customer at any time you wish :
    priceless

    Some things just can't be bought. For everything else, there's dirty politics.

  20. Knowing MS.. on Microsoft Warms Up to Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's more likely to be "Embrace, assimilate then dump the lifeless remains"

  21. Re:Important to remember... on Google Maps Creator Takes Browsers To The Limit · · Score: 1

    How does this matter? Pretty much no Google product is anything besides Beta, except for the search engine.

  22. Re:IE7 _built in_ ? on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    This a is a beta. There's no ruling concerning beta products.

  23. Re:Just sits there? Perfect! on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android · · Score: 1

    That would be because they are glove-covered hands. It's likely much too complicated to make realistic fingers.

  24. There's a reason it's top 40 on MTV Nominates Game Tracks, Misses Point · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some people, brace yourself for this, enjoy it. I hate this illogical "If nobody likes it then it must be good" "underground" mentality shared by "counterculture" advocates. Get your favorites out there instead fo whining how nobody is giving your unpopular tastes the attention you feel they deserve.

    Man, this IS going to be a flamewar.

  25. Are you sure? on Miyamoto Says Wind Waker Was Boring · · Score: 1

    I was never able to beat Zelda II as a child, but with my honed fps/platformer/rpg skills I decided to revisit it and found it laughably easy. It's not "that difficult of a game", certainly not by today's standards at any rate. However,I realize it's unfair to compare Zelda II to the X-Box Ninja Gaiden so let's compare apples with apples and look at the nes Ninja Gaiden. Which is harder? NG, and by far. You want to be genuinely challenged and die a lot? Play fighter plane shoot-em-ups like Graedius, R-Type or U.N. Squadron. Those are challenging (the later less so, but it's also an RPG of sorts!)
