  1. Re:Beat seasonal allergies too! on Beat Spam By Not Using Email · · Score: 1

    I recently beat seasonal allergies without relying on any medicine at all. I simply decapitated myself with a steak knife. It was so easy, no more running nose, or red, watery eyes!

    But this runs the risky side effect known as "asphyxiation" because this procedure tends to limit the amount of oxygen that reaches the brain.

  2. Re:Security? on Defending The Skies Against Congress And The Elderly · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to say, I vote this post of the month as far as I'm concerned.

  3. Re:And punish legitimate users? on Controversial StarForce Copy Protection Creators Quizzed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wha????? Not many legitimate users of Nero? Nero is one of the best CD/DVD burning software out there. This article is clearly written by a BSA shill. Not every utility that can copy a CD is used for infringing purposes. In fact, most of us use these utilities for non-infringing fair-use purposes like backing up the games we purchased.

    Or to transport the latest graphics layout I put together for print. When they're 8 1/2" x 11" @ 300ppi each they're not gonna fit on a floppy disk, disposable CDs are the best thing. There's no way I'm mailing out USB key drives and I doubt many print houses accept them. Oh yeah, and then there's the home music production. I can't afford to have seperate boxes for this stuff and games (yet).

  4. Re:Best casemod ever? on Stunning, Classic Computer Console, from 1958? · · Score: 1

    I think it's beautiful, but then again I grew up with electronics and have been hooked ever since. Old enough to see the amazing technology of the past and hear the burn of a transistor tube in a guitar amp... young enough to see the digital age and hear square waves and bass heavy beats spilling out a wall of PA speakers...

    Now I'm waiting on the cusp of a new rennisance in human space travel. I'll play MAME on this thing while trading homemade music on this thing. I'm an 80s child and I love it.

  5. Re:racial stereotypes on Racial Issues Alleged In GTA San Andreas, Other Games · · Score: 1

    Here in Oregon I hear people claiming white trash with pride quite often. Kinda helps boots the trucker hat fad going around out here.

  6. Re:Flashlight=Greatest Weapon Ever on Marine Finds Duct Tape on Mars · · Score: 1

    porp is my new God.

  7. After I showed this article to my boss... on Are Job Perks Coming into Vogue Again? · · Score: 2, Funny

    He punched me in the back of the head and told me to get back to work.

  8. Re:Loved watching the game... on Dragon's Lair - A Forbidden Love Affair? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I remember now... the anime was called Lupin III. He was a master thief... in fact I think it's on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I remember seeing some old anime about Lupin finding some lost city underground or something... that one was good.

  9. Re:why @.@ on 'PalmPSOne' Takes PlayStation Into Handheld Domain · · Score: 1

    I don't think he did this so he can play games on the road... well I guess it was part of it. But I'm sure it was more for the sake of doing it. I would assume this guy is some kinda engineering hobbyist. I mean he designed and fabricated his own plastic parts!!!

    The people who would be willing to pay out $500 for one. Probably would just to have it... it's novel... If I could afford to have one just for the hell of it I would. This dude should market his system to sports stars and MTV regulars.

  10. Loved watching the game... on Dragon's Lair - A Forbidden Love Affair? · · Score: 1

    Didn't like playing it too much... there were parts that I didn't instinctively know which way to hit the joystick or button. So, I just had to burn a quarter. "Space Ace"... now that game I loved... I think they took it up a notch with that one. Another game... which I never see mention of was "Cliffhanger".

  11. How about nightclubs and DJs on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 1

    Come on... you might as well get the job done right and piss everyone off.

  12. Re:Viral marketing on Halo 2 Website Puzzle Confounds · · Score: 0

    Kinda like www.beta-7.com was Sega's viral marketing trick... What I found slightly interesting was the mini-cooper version where they'd make fake zines and have them inside of real magazines. I saw this little zine that was supposed to be about robots made out of cars. All minis of course.

  13. Sounds Familliar on Just Add, Umm, Water · · Score: 2, Funny

    Engineer Ed Beaudry was quoted by the New Scientist as saying that the body would not find using urine to rehydrate food toxic in the short term, but in the long term it would cause kidney damage.

    Well that finally explains my highschool's cafeteria food...

  14. Well that explains things... on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    Human = Brain damaged monkey.

    At least this explains most social/political behavior.

  15. Re:Reverse firewalls? on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    Well, if it "sounds" different it's patentable isn't it? Someone call my lawyer we got some money to make!

  16. Re:please don't snip me on 419ers Diversify Into Assassination Threats? · · Score: 2, Funny

    aren't there enough problems in the world without drive by hair cutting?

    It's about time someone did something about those unruly mullets!

  17. Re:Thats what YOU think! on 419ers Diversify Into Assassination Threats? · · Score: 1

    These giant Scissors are a must for any ribbon-cutting ceremony! At 3 feet in length, these scissors will make the statement you want to project. They are made of solid steel and painted black handles. Everything about them is just like the traditional scissors found in desck drawers everywhere - just much bigger! For safety reasons, these scissors do not have sharpened edges. A perfect display for someone that's on the cutting edge.

    Sounds perfect if the statement you want to make is "bloated, expensive, uselessly overdone, dull and ineffective". Hmmmm... you think they got a few pairs of these on capitol hill?

  18. Migratory Birds on The New York Times On Earth's Magnetic Flip-Flop · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wow... I remember seeing a show in discovery about carrier pigeons using the magnetic pole to navigate... (or at least that was the theory)... How will this affect migratory birds at large?

  19. Tube Audio Preamp in Motherboard on Tubes vs Transistors: An Audible Difference? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone remember this thing? I never heard anything else about it besides a little picture and comment in Maximum PC Magazine nearly 2 years ago. Are tube preamp boards still in production?

  20. Re:It's a newbie error in world politics... on EU Ministers Went Off-Brief In Patent Vote · · Score: 1

    Of course, the USA didn't get things right on the first try either. We created a national government under the Articles Of Confederation that had so little power it couldn't tax and therefore quickly ran into problems getting anything done.

    Yeah, it's a good thing we're perfecting everything with the kind help of the corporations.

  21. Re:Random page on Wikipedia Hits 300,000 Articles · · Score: 2

    Wikepedia ROCKS!

    I bookmarked that random page you posted and I learned a new drinking game!!!

  22. A lotta ambient energy. on U.S. Government Sometimes Jams Keyless Car Locks? · · Score: 1

    When some ships rolled into Portland during the Rose Festival, I saw this guided missile cruiser and it had 3 antennas on the back of it in a triangle about 25 ft. apart from each other. If you looked into the center of the antenna array everything was hazy. It was like looking through a giant version of heat waves on the street. That much juice running through the air and interfering with other things doesn't surprise me.

  23. Why even make up excuses like this? on DoJ - Making Data Public Would 'Crash System' · · Score: 2, Funny

    They might as well cut to the chase and just destroy the data... But then again, they'd lose track of all the favors they need to hand out after the elections. I guess they can wait till (hopefully) some court forces them to share the information. Then they can use that "The data was destroyed" excuse.

  24. Invader... on Retro Gaming Gets Hot · · Score: 1

    There's a green invader in a parking garage stairwell in the 3rd and Morrison area of SW Portland Oregon. (Or at least it was there about a year and a half ago).

  25. Re:Style on Realistic Human Graphics Look Creepy · · Score: 1

    Strange... I read that as Shatner too.

    I think it comes down to this... Shatner is a cheeseball but he's funny in a self parodizing overly serious way. I'd like to see Shatner replace Ronald as the McDonald's mascot. Maybe even Andy Rooney on 60 minutes too.

    But I've been smoking reefer, what were you smoking?
