  1. Re:Fuel? on NASA Announces Enviromentally Friendly Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    That would be a great commercial. Some kid getting eroded like a soaked tooth on the launch pad. Maybe now they'll start making soda cans in the model of rockets and orbiter vehicles.

  2. If there's no American Science Future... on No Future in American Science · · Score: 1

    Who's doing the research on that?

  3. Re:new formats on BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World" · · Score: 1

    I think they tried that, but they failed miserably.

    Instead of having a beautiful, intelligent, and sensuous woman hosting the entire show, they have a naked, chubby male baby practically drowning in some liquid for the introduction of the show.

    This could be the responsible act that failed the program for good. I mean logic would tell you beautiful woman before, baby after...

  4. Not Political on Scientific Research Encountering More Restrictions · · Score: 1

    First off, MSNBC servers suck. They're never available - even without the /. effect.

    This action does not represent the resolve of an American moral stand, the majority of the students involved are foreign. When it came to a vote, the foreign students either refused to participate in the 404k plan resulting in it being dropped, or voted against it. Its probably simple democratic fairness.

  5. Aha! on Friendly Plastic Pop Can Nearly Ready for Market · · Score: 1


    1. Given the moniker of 'Silver Bullet', can makers have historically tried

    2. in vain to reduce the dangerous aura of aluminium beverage cans by
      adding saftey tabs, wider mouth ports, and even larger sized cans.

      Now with the technological advent of non-lethal weaponry, can makers
      have taken inspiration in the design of so called 'plastic bullets', hence the
      new handsome containers and confident consumers.
  6. Project Simpsons on Gaugeless, Computerized Cockpits · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hee hee. So let me get this straight, instead of reading three or four different guages that would tell you you're in trouble, now your instrument panel will project an illustration of a plane crashing in flames?

    I mean, I can't wait until I can get into a plane and press 'GO' to take off and fly, and then 'STOP' to land.
    God bless the military.

  7. Re:WTF on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 1

    Well if you are satisfied with the money you are spending on the game there is nothing to be said bout that. And nothing to take offense to. However, when you get to the level of dissatisfaction present in the article, it only leaves the sadly addicted and lifeless zoids who pay for something sucky to blame.

    Affordability and cost should not be accounted when you're emotionally invested in something. And IMHO I don't think people should be emotionally involved in any exercise of role playing or surreal posturing - such as frustration and even anger present during times playing the game. And if game success or progress is based on the amount of time you put into it, then its just a foolish waste of time and money.

  8. Yup... on New Moon of Jupiter Discovered · · Score: 1

    Its a monolith. Where's HAL when you need him.

  9. WTF on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 0, Troll

    I thought this service was free! - I being someone who couldn't care less about everquest and sure didn't care enough about it to find out:

    You guys actually take part in the game by paying a continual monthly fee?

    You are the stupidest fools in the entire world, and deserve to be ass-raped through your wallets. You damn well deserve to have that service change for the worse for the players, such is the nature of online stupidity exercises.

    Imagine if you spent all your time and $12.95 on something else just a fraction less useless...

  10. Oh man... on Star Wars Fan Films, now Star Wars Audio Drama · · Score: 1

    Its narrated by R2-D2...

  11. Man... on In-Depth Look At Matrix Previews · · Score: 1

    How long does it take to reload the damn Matrix. I mean what could possibly necessitate a four year lapse in movie to sequel.

    You know, I'm having trouble believing that this whole thing is real and now I'm ready to plug my pp back in and go back to sleep. That nyquil capsule wore off bout summer 2001. So get Vicks on the line and finish that shiz before my jelly basin fills back up with jello.

  12. Re:Oh lord the humanity! on Airships Tested As Two-Way Telecom Beacons · · Score: 3, Funny

    But Hydrogen Blimp Whores on Fire? Man, the fetish worshipers will be signing up in droves.

  13. Slashdot on DIRECTV Broadband Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    Looks like Direct TV DSL got slashdotted with extreme prejudice.

  14. Why Sure! on Wake Up and Smell the Nauseating Coffee · · Score: 2, Funny

    "'This is not a smell that makes people sick ... This is one of those sweet smells like cut flowers, like fresh-baked bread, that's part and parcel of life in every city across the world.'"

    Oh right, like the smell of a monkey's butt, right? Drink up - drink ass!

  15. Re:This will never work... on Affero's Hack-a-Thon · · Score: 1

    I know, it was a joke. I was just poking fun at the silly diagrams. Thats why I put this little emote icon ;-) on the original post.

  16. In North Korea... on Building Consoles For Fun · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    They're still building the originals...

  17. This will never work... on Affero's Hack-a-Thon · · Score: 1

    The diagrams notating the donation process are too confusing, this system spells trouble from the get go. ;-)

    And what if the people asking for help don't even know how to click a link - much less achieve donation.

  18. Not to be confused with... on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 1

    The 'zany' Sam and Max comic inspired film Furry Road planned production in the near future.

  19. Re:2010 on Life Confirmed At Extreme Depths · · Score: 2, Funny

    All these Germs are Yours
    Except Sulphuropa
    Attempt no minings there
    Wash hands together
    And cook on high heat

  20. Hmmmm... on Nanotech Assembly One Step Closer · · Score: 1

    "...3D structures of carbon,silicon, and latex...
    ...I've never really understood exactly what purpose nano-machines were going to fufill, especially in their early stages. Any one care to fill me in?"


    Finally, a condom Howard Stern can use.
    Ahem.

  21. Maus on Cancer Mouse Not Patentable in Canada · · Score: 1

    During WWII, those Nazi cats didn't let the mice patent themselves when they were toiled with grief and stricken with cancer. You'd think Canada would learn from history...

    Save the mice!!!

  22. So what... on Wal-Mart Lindows PCs Selling Well · · Score: 1, Troll

    This is news? Come on...
    When is big daddy $Billy G. going to buy Wal Mart. Thats news.

  23. 1995 on Refrigerators To Cool With Sound (Cool!) · · Score: 1

    wtf, I saw this report and the proto-tech on Beyond 2000 like 6 or 7 years ago. And for it to be on that retired program would mean it had to have been close to a year or two old.

    I guess now that we're 'Beyond 2000' its okay to reproduce near-decade old hype without copyright infringement fears. ;-)

    But let me know when I can cool my beer with a speaker.

  24. Hmmm... on New Book Says The Meter Is all Wrong · · Score: 2, Funny

    Originally, you see, the metric unit of distance was supposed to be one ten-millionth of the span from the north pole to the equator.

    But the Earth isn't a perfect sphere -- it's an oblate spheroid, flattened at the poles --
    So, does this mean that the perfect measurment for the world is the cup/chest circumference sizing standard we've been using on bras for years?

    Dang, the earth is hot.

  25. Re:What the F*CK is going on?!?!?! on 239 MPG Car · · Score: 1

    Nothing man, whats going on with you?
