  1. Re:What's amazing is on AT&T Accidentally Leaks NSA Suit Information · · Score: 1

    Back when I was woking my high-school job as a grocery clerk, they even told us that the card wasn't for customers to get a good deal, it's for the company to track buying habits. Creeped me out, man.

  2. "Our users never signed up for this kind of thing" on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1

    "Our users never signed up for this kind of thing."
    You'd better damn well believe this is exactly the kind of thing I signed up for. Showdown at high-noon and all that.

  3. Re:If CSI has taught me anything... on Convicted Hacker Adrian Lamo Refuses to Give Blood · · Score: 1

    They can get pretty bad about it. I recall one episode where they used a security camera still and were able to recognize a face in the reflection of someone's eye.

  4. Re:"Fanboy Intervention" article is a troll on You Say You Want A Revolution? · · Score: 1

    Anyone else notice that what he tries to point out as a Japanese symbol on the plane was, in fact, the Chinese Kuomintang symbol?

  5. If only... on Bob Ross And The Joy of Painting · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Too bad Bob Ross wasn't around earlier, maybe Hitler could have watched, learned, and gotten into art school, saving us all a lot of trouble.
    "I can't quite get the trees... ah fuck! I vill kill everyone!"

  6. Re:I was actually asking a serious question... on How Hot Would a Light Saber Really Be? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well for a serious answer, take a look at model number six over yonder http://www.geocities.com/deathcommando.geo/ls.htm it's my favorite possible lightsabre operational model. To sum up, according to this model, a lightsabre is a rapidly spinning charged superconducting field. Given this model, the cutting is caused not by heat, but by the shearing off of the electrons that bind atoms together, thus, heat is not a problem for the operator.

  7. Re:Parallels with Easter Island on Rewriting Environmental Science · · Score: 1

    The thing that always disturbed me most was that, given the small size of the islad, whoever cut down the last tree almost certainly knew it was the last tree, and cut it down regardless.

  8. Re:You can't take the sky from me... on What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home? · · Score: 1

    Actually it did, just off the common area. In Objects in Space we see Book coming out of the room with a towel just before being overcome by Early, so it seems reasonable to assume said room contains a shower. Furthermore the Serenity RPG sourcebook diagram of Serenity shows a shower in the room in question.

  9. Re:You can't take the sky from me... on What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home? · · Score: 1

    Hadn't considered that, though now that you mention it...

  10. You can't take the sky from me... on What Would Be Your Ideal Futuristic Home? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd like my home to be a 1:1 scale mock-up of a Firefly class transport. But then I'm a nerd...

  11. Re:"Now" believes it was a mistake? on Cubicles a Giant Mistake · · Score: 1

    Didn't you get that memo? I'll make sure you get another copy of it...

  12. Re:Bah. on Indestructible Super Mug To Save Humanity · · Score: 1

    Not if the Wolverines have anything to say about it, comrade!

  13. Re:Good... on Christian Churches Celebrate Darwin's Birthday · · Score: 1

    Actually this isn't some new development, we're just hearing news about liberal Christians who felt this way all along as opposed to the fundies who keep making the news.

  14. Re:a woman's eyes on Retina Blood Vessels Predict Common Fatal Diseases · · Score: 1

    No. The two most deceiving things in the world are the smell of coffee, and the promise in a woman's eyes.

  15. EPIC on Newspaper Lobbyists Take Aim at Google News · · Score: 1

    http://epic.makingithappen.co.uk/
    Just a bit behind schedule.

  16. Re:Sex on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1

    So, am I the only one who is disturbed when people use "sexy" to describe anything other than a human?

  17. Re:Yay for viruses! on 20 Years of Computer Viruses · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Bitter much?

  18. Cyberware on Bionic Hands to Become a Reality Soon? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Uh oh, we all know what this means: the LARPers can start in on Cyberpunk and Shadowrun.

  19. Re:Asshattery on Jack Thompson Tossed Out Of Court · · Score: 1

    I've wondered myself if he suffers for psychosis of some kind, but my understanding is (no source) he was once ordered to take a psych evaluation and somehow managed to pass.

  20. Re:Unfortunate release timing on Review: Serious Sam II · · Score: 1

    Well in all fairness it IS 92,955,887.6 miles from the nearest star...

  21. Re:From TFA on NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance · · Score: 1

    Well in all fairness, it's Russians we're talking about here...

  22. Re:One question? on Fly To Mars In A Plastic Ship · · Score: 1

    Snap-Tite my arse, they always needed just as much glue as the others...

  23. Re:Please, oh please on Thompson Goes After Sims 2 Nudity · · Score: 1

    All the times I've wanted to hurt him, I remind myself that since I'm a gamer it would probably just make him happy.

  24. Re:can you sink any lower? on New Rodent Species Found · · Score: 1
    I know, eating rodents, so disgusting. But you know what's worse? I've heard there are people out there who actually eat birds, and even cows and pigs!

    /sarcasm

    Honestly, think about what you're going to say before you say it. If we're going to eat any kind of animal who are we to judge people for eating a slightly different kind of animal? How is eating a goat any different than eating a dog?

  25. Re:wow, engage bs factor 8 on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    I've always felt model six on the following page is a much better explanation. Being hosted on geocities it may be limited time only... http://www.geocities.com/deathcommando.geo/ls.htm
