  1. The Price on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't venture that many here are willing to live in delusion in order to trick their brain into de-stressing. The only correlation here is that reducing stresses on your body and brain helps your overall health. Religion may, in some cases, achieve these goals but are certainly not the only way. I'll take my lifestyle choices on my own terms, thank you.

  2. Re:Still waiting... on Wired Case Mod Roundup · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hmmm, but the question is: who's skull should it be?

    I have it! John Romero's.

  3. Like flying cars, but on water... on Amphibious Car Beats Urban Congestion · · Score: 1

    I can't begin to think about the problems about putting large numbers of cars on water. Imagine having to wear life-jackets in order to go to work. Traffic accidents could lead to drownings. What about the up-keep associated with water vehicles? Also, who wants wet tires when you drive?

  4. SolCal Gen Con on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    If you're in Cali in December, you should check out Gen Con. It's in the fair city of Anaheim and is loaded with geekness.

  5. New? on Department of Defense Gadget Show · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it just me or does it seem like the same technology year after year. It gets refined a bit but I don't think that we get the fruits of any new ideas.

  6. It's good... on Return Of The King Footage From E3 · · Score: 2

    like a cookie, but not so good like it's your favourite cookie. Any new material from the next film is always a treat but I don't see anything that I didn't expect. What kind of spoilers were in there anyway? In summary: good stuff, no surprises.

  7. It's a pitty... on DNA, Fifty Years To the Day · · Score: 0, Redundant

    that Rosalind Franklin rarely gets any acclaim for her work. Watson and Crick built the model of DNA on here shoulders.

  8. Hrmmm on Got Game? · · Score: 1

    Maybe I should re-think this atheism thing; becasue I've been praying for something like this for a long time. It's so refreshing to have someone talk about games in relation to reality.

  9. Re:Bye Bye on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes it was. Leave me with that.

  10. Bye Bye on Farscape Finale Tonight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least we still have MST3K, oh wait that's gone too. So, yea, Tremors...
    Hey, Dune! yea! Sci-fi has become the 'watch us for a good miniseries once and a while' channel!

  11. Things we could do with the water... on Flowing Water Discovered on Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Beach resort
    2. Evaporate it for salt
    3. Water fights
    4. Endless discussion about life on Mars
    5. Experiments to see if fish could live on Mars

  12. What just happened? on GM Pulls Plug on Electric Car · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What makes me look twice is that the government implemented a standard that goes right against the two major electric car makers in America. I think that there might have been some dirty (think oily) outside influence in the decision.

  13. The Joke's On Them on The Business of Instant Messaging · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ha, they can charge all they want and I'll keep using Trillian. If they cut that off, we still have IRC!

  14. Re:Canada Eh? on North America's Largest LAN Party · · Score: 1

    Well, I said my family came from Canada. However I was born and raised in California. I don't have any delusions about the 'dangers of America' it was mostly a joke. But only partly. You should check out Bowling For Columbine.

  15. Re:Since it's in Canada.. on North America's Largest LAN Party · · Score: 1

    Uh, taken.

  16. Canada Eh? on North America's Largest LAN Party · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ah my family's homeland. What better place is there to frag but in a country where you don't worry about getting shot. We can only hope that it's going to have lots of caffeine and the bathrooms are plentiful.

  17. A Two-Headed Monster? on World of Spectrum gets a Visit from the IDSA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps this is an instance of one part of a company not knowing what the other is doing. Corporate laywers tend to jump onto what they see as 'problems' like a pack of wolves.

  18. I Know What I Would Use It For on Build Your Own Snow Gun · · Score: 1

    I want to start a movement in colleges across the world. That being the creation of phallic symbols made out of snow. All in the name of free speech, of course.

  19. Re:Why just Taiwan on Taiwan Forces MS To Cut Prices, Unbundle Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It could be that because Taiwan is such a small country and that it is so steeped in technology production. Most people in the world don't care enough to get their government to fight for them on tech issues.

  20. Did I Read That Right on Funding Approved for Pluto/Kuiper Probe · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did Congress have to force money on NASA? It must be the last sign. I'm going to the bomb shelter.

  21. Just What I Was Waiting For on Perfumed, Glowing Cloth · · Score: 1

    I always wanted to look like those people in Tron.

    You know, not really. I like my clothes just the way they are.

  22. Where do you want to bend over today? on Microsoft Fights to Weaken Washington Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If Microsoft is allowed to rail-road this legislation through, what does that mean for the the integrity of consumer rights? A company that was sued by the government should not have a hold over it.
    Just because someone has done business with a company doesn't mean that they want gobs of mail that they didn't ask for. Transactions don't entitle a company to move into a person's life.

  23. Re:Oh Darn on Berman Bill Dead in the Water? · · Score: 1

    DMCA that is. Darn dyslexia.

  24. Oh Darn on Berman Bill Dead in the Water? · · Score: 1

    And I had hoped that I could get my computer attacked and enable me to sue. There's nothing quite as fun as the threat of vigilante justice.

    At least we still have the DCMA and the Patriot Act.

  25. Good to see on Blog From Your Cellphone? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many times does a blog-minded person lose something that was on their mind to time? Blogs re-tell life and a person cannot carry a pad of paper with them all the time to relate their feelings and observations. Most people already carry cell phones and this is a great natural extension.
