  1. Re:NO on Should Video Games Be In the Olympics? · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, at one point, someone tried to get Bridge qualified as an Olympic "sport".

    Luckily, they failed.

  2. Re:Yellow Journalism on The World Is Not Falling Apart · · Score: 1

    Sensationalism sells, and nothing is sensational like the end of the world. Ergo, all news is about the end of the world.

    Yet, somehow, I feel fine.

  3. Re:New director, new cast? on "Star Trek 3" To Be Helmed By "Fast & Furious" Franchise Director Justin Lin · · Score: 1

    Karl Urban *NAILED* the role right from the beginning. John Cho sort of has the Sulu character down... remember Sulu always wanted to be a swashbucker (see "The Naked Time").

    I'm still iffy on the rest of the cast. There are times when they seem to to fit into the characters, but then there are the horrendously awful moments...

  4. Re:Shift! on "Star Trek 3" To Be Helmed By "Fast & Furious" Franchise Director Justin Lin · · Score: 5, Funny

    Star Trek 3: Romulan Drift

  5. Re:Elves?!! BAAAH!! on Using Your Open-Source Contributions To Land a Full-Time Job · · Score: 2

    Why not? He would be logical, instead of completely irrational.

  6. Re:slashvertisement on The Magic of Pallets · · Score: 1

    I preferred Quake.

  7. Re:Just use filters on Finland Announces an Anti-Laser Campaign For Air Traffic · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Just use filters on Finland Announces an Anti-Laser Campaign For Air Traffic · · Score: 1

    My EYES!!!!! The goggles do NOTHING!!!!!

  9. Cue Don Ho!!!! on Geoengineered Climate Cooling With Microbubbles · · Score: 2
  10. Re:Copenhagen interpretation != less complicated on Quantum Physics Just Got Less Complicated · · Score: 1

    Bell showed that Von Neumann's disproof of local hidden variable theories was flat out wrong.

    My understanding is that hidden variables theories can be made to work if reality is non-local. And given that quantum entanglement appears to be non-local, hidden variables should be able to work.

  11. Re:How about the 2012 Red Dawn showing? on "Team America" Gets Post-Hack Yanking At Alamo Drafthouse, Too · · Score: 1

    This isn't Alamo Drafthouse's fault. Paramount chickened out.

  12. Not the Drafthouse fault. on "Team America" Gets Post-Hack Yanking At Alamo Drafthouse, Too · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Nerdist blames Paramount.

  13. Unfortunately.... on After 40 Years As a Double Amputee, Man Gains Two Bionic Arms · · Score: 3, Funny

    Unfortunately, the arms cost $6 Million, and everything he does with them is in slow motion, accompanied by a reverb sound effect.

  14. Re: Nonsense on Sony Leaks Reveal Hollywood Is Trying To Break DNS · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I stand corrected.

  15. Re:Man, am I old ... on Backblaze's 6 TB Hard Drive Face-Off · · Score: 1

    You guys took about 15 pictures/hour on your honeymoon? (assuming 8 hours/day of sleep)

    When did you guys find time to fuck?

    What do you think is *IN* those 7000 pictures? Hint: it ain't the local scenery or tourist spots....

  16. An area the size of Texas? on Army To Launch Spy Blimp Over Maryland · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, that isn't an approved measurement. Can someone give it to me in football fields?

  20. Re:Impressive on Godot Engine Reaches 1.0, First Stable Release · · Score: 1

    That's deliberate. You have to wait for it.

  22. Old News... on NASA's $349 Million Empty Tower · · Score: 2
  23. Re:Should Allah be translated to God? on Apparent Islamic Terrorism Strikes Sydney · · Score: 2

    Actually, observant Jews would use a euphemism. They never use the word for G-d, but say, for example, "Hashem" (The Name), or "Ha Kadosh Baruch Hu" (The Holy One Blessed Be He).

  24. Re:Not really missing vinyl on Vinyl Record Pressing Plants Struggle To Keep Up With Demand · · Score: 1

    I've got the Empire Brass collection of Bach chorales on CD. Had it since I can't even remember when... Do they still perform live?
