  1. different way of claim on Japan Begins Recycling Rare Earth Metals From Electronics · · Score: 0

    so they are finally going to start building them gundams and have their turn to claim the territories of Asia (again) ?

  2. release them energy on Scientists Implant Biofuel Cells Into Rats · · Score: 0

    can we loose weight from this?

  3. have to be physically there? on Researchers Show How To Take Control of Windows 7 · · Score: 0

    Relax Luther, it's much worse than you think. The only certified technician has to pass a series of security scans. First one is voice activated. Then, he has to put in a 6 digit code. That only gets him into the outer room. In order to get in the vault, he first has to pass a retina scan. Then, the door will unlock by only by two electronic keycards, which we won't have. In the vault, there are three security sensors that will activate at anytime the technician is out of the room. First is voice sensitive, anything above a whisper, will set it off. The second one senses the temperature even the body heat of an unauthorized person in the room can set it off if the temperature rises by a single degree. The temperature is controlled by an air duct system 30 feet above the floor. The vent is guarded by a laser net. The third one is on the floor, and it's pressure sensitive. Just the slightest increase in weight will set it off. If any of these 3 sensors are set off will trigger an automatic lockdown. Let me tell you, gentlemen, that all three systems, are state of the art.

  4. Ninja bay on Mariners Develop High Tech Pirate Repellents · · Score: 0

    are you serious...but with guns? it's just software... can't they just ask programmers to write a better serial-key software?

  5. Re:does size matter? on The Pocket-Sized Projector Has Arrived · · Score: 0

    actually 3m is just an arbitrary number i came up comparing the size of a small room.

    should be enough for anybody.... right?

  6. alternative way on How To Cloak Objects At a Distance · · Score: 0
    better yet, use distraction. if you can get some scantly-clad, busty, thin, female (or male whichever you prefer) jumping around the desert. i think the tank will be able to go past the enemy without problems.

    they do that in beer commercials... always miss their secret message

  7. does size matter? on The Pocket-Sized Projector Has Arrived · · Score: 0

    is there some research that humans will live in rooms no bigger than 3 meter space in the future or something? (like one of those japanese coffin hotels)

    i mean, sure enough, things are good to be compact and small, but there's this thing called TOO small

  8. Re:Advanced Bad & Summary on Charity Refuses Donation Because of D&D Connection · · Score: 0

    that's a really bad comic actually... way too extreme...

  9. you just wait on Video Games Linked To Child Aggression · · Score: 0

  12. gameplay on New Elder Scrolls Game In 2010? · · Score: 0

    hope i am not the only one that will ask for a less steep learning curve and complete change of interface. then again, i am a morrowind fan... so i was kinda hoping that it'd be more like it. oh well. keep up teh good work TES!

  13. better to have a physical copy on Researcher Warns of "Digital Dark Age" · · Score: 0

    find some dimonds-sheets and carve the data on it.

  14. real-TV-eurika season one on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 0

    are you sure this is for real and not reality-TV ?

    mind you that a lot of the Eurika experiments has gone wrong and there won't be something episodic-manner that will be solved every 1 hour or so.

    not that i am doubting anything.... i for one welcome our AI overlord... just don't digitalize me

  15. you point? on Study Debunks Gamer Stereotypes · · Score: 0
    won't matter. we will always be nerds and geeks to those unknownst to the world of gaming. i tried to introduce once the game to someone, her first response is that "it's for geeks" ... i need not to explain more

    besides, it's not the goodside of gaming that makes the news. it is always about that shiny sword of lvl50 that gets someone killed

  16. Re:Umm on Bioshock 2 Trailer Released, Platform Information Revealed · · Score: 0

    wonder why they didn't set up an ending that the little sisters kills the player for extracting too many of them (bad bad ending :/)

  19. wise decision on Command & Conquer FPS Canceled · · Score: 0

    good to see that they still have some sense to pull out. agreed that renegade was fun while it lasted, but...i dont' think it'll live up to its predecessors. need to change the plot too me thinks.. .

  20. target acquired on Chinese Astronauts Complete First Spacewalk · · Score: 0

    begin orbital bombardment in... 3... 2... oh shi-

  21. how good is it? on Saving the Street Fighter Franchise · · Score: 0
    if a franchise is well thought out and well designed, it will stay and no need to do anything special to "save" it. sf has come this far and has its reasons. (maybe JCVD helped yes?)

    i am curious to see who will win a fight between a vetern grandparent who seen the birth of SF or a technology-savvy grandchild who's been with games before he/she can walk....

    17. duct tape

  23. Re:What? on Review: Crysis Warhead · · Score: 0

    i think the engine is called cryotek or something. or maybe just share the same name with the game. (like unreal engine?) how i see it, they just forget about hardware limits, crank the polycount to the nth degree and let the consumers worry about making it look good.

  24. la la on Man Attempts To Cross English Channel With Jet Wing · · Score: 0

    ~fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars~

  25. maybe we wait? on Getting Away With a Cheap Graphics Card · · Score: 0

    that is perhaps one luxury of not caring about gaming graphics. you KNOW that companies will try to crank things up to the highest and it WILL continue to do so. so why bother with some hardware that will eventually go obsolete within the 3 months just to enjoy some game that will wow you for a short period of time? if the game has its appleal. it will stay.. i still play some of the old games because it's well designed; and by now, i am able to crank the graphics up (i have to as a matter of fact).
