  1. Re:oh great, hear/here come the audiophile geeks on 3 High-End iPod Speaker Systems Reviewed · · Score: 1

    You are just plain wrong. Frequency response, distortion, noise, all important factors in determining "better" or "worse" sound systems. When you say they preform just as well, you actually mean you dont care enough to want a better system... but plenty of people DO care and CAN tell the difference.

  2. UCSB on Cocaine Biosensor · · Score: 5, Funny

    and seconds after they turned it on, the sensor was activated by a passing UCSB undergrad...

  3. Professor Deffeyes on Has World Oil Production Passed Its Peak? · · Score: 1

    Prof. Kenneth Deffeyes seems to be retired.

  4. Yes! on EFF Sues AT&T Over NSA Wiretapping · · Score: 5, Funny

    EFF is my BFF.

  5. trial by jury? on Another Victim Countersues RIAA Under RICO Act · · Score: 1

    I thought you could only demand a trial by jury under criminal cases, not civil cases... or is this a criminal case?

  6. In Soviet Russia... on Blogging as Press Freedom in Repressive Places · · Score: 1

    the government blogs about YOU.

  7. Re:Speed on Titan Occupies A Solar System Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    which is why we need to investigate it further. radically different forms of like based on methane would give us incredible insight into how life is formed.

  8. space elevator on Visiting Our Red Space Neighbor · · Score: 1

    I wonder what role (if any) the sapce elevator will play in getting supplies/people to Mars...

  9. South Korea? on Yahoo! Orders Wikipedia Hardware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone know why they are being set up in South Korea?

  10. Re:Art? on Grafedia Elevates Graffiti To Art · · Score: 1

    self expression is not obscene, and the only time you should be ashamed of someone else's message is when it speaks ill of you.

  11. Adulteration of the cannes on Star Wars Episode III To Open Cannes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This just shows how those with a lot of influence and money can get their corporate "art" into an institution with high integrity. RIP Cannes... you had some good principles, but I guess nothing can last forever.

  12. Bad guide on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is a terrible guide. Several times he says "make sure you know what you're doing" but offers no help or explanation. It is poorly worded and offers little guidance. The pictures do not help at all, either. Does anyone know of a better guide for electrolytic etching?

  13. Afroman did it FIRST on Wireless Mouse with no Batteries · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is not so original: Arnold and afroman did it first

  14. space elevator background i made on Notes From 3rd Annual Space Elevator Conference · · Score: 1

  15. Sound Familiar? on Arctic Ocean Survey May Reveal Lost World · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just as long as Ed Harris isn't leading the expedition...

  16. Explosives on Personalized Moon Crash · · Score: 1

    Can I pack 22 pounds of explosives?

  17. Sight for the blind. on Seeing-Eye Computer Guides Blind · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am curious to know if there are any systems in development to let blind people regain their vision through the use of computers/computer implants.

  18. High speed trains on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'd like to see more high speed trains in the US. It's a lot more economical than air travel, can be just as fast (with aiport wait times and all), and is just as if not safer than flying.

  19. Legal? on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How is Kazaa to blame for the transfer of pirated media across its networks? Should we shutdown the alleys because people sell drugs there? Ridiculous. I hope the MIPI gets screwed in the courts for this one.

  20. inverse? on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 1

    When I looked at the image using the cross-eye method, i got the distances reversed (closest was the furthest). Maybe my head is mis-wired...

  21. Smoke detector on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    My mom bought me a smoke detector for christmas, and nothing else.

  22. Re:surprised? on Rockstar Censors GTA After Haitian Outcry · · Score: 5, Insightful

    not all liberals are PC fascists. i am very liberal and make un-pc jokes all the time... i dont care so much when people are stereotpyed, and it doesnt bother me when a small group of people are offended over an out of context comment from a video game.

  23. surprised? on Rockstar Censors GTA After Haitian Outcry · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why is everyone so surprised? This is America! You can kill as many people in as many ways as you want, just as long as you're PC about it.

  24. Re:Great quote on Transgaming Releases WineX 3.2 · · Score: 1

    i could understand maybe an opengl game running VERY slightly faster if the conditions were just right, just because linux has better memory management and is better in general. its possible, but very improbable.

  25. my generation on Quantum Computing Breakthrough in Japan · · Score: 1

    im just happy that i will see it in my lifetime. its gonna be one hell of a ride once they are developed.
