  1. Moreover on New Version of Xbox 360 Rumoured · · Score: 1

    Will it come with REAL downloadable content?

  2. Re:Sounds Like the Funniest Joke in the World on DNA So Dangerous It Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1

    3. 99% of the world population will want it.

    Who are the remaining 1% who wouldn't want this cure?

  3. Re:Rats. on Wild Predictions for a Wired 2007 · · Score: 1

    And Duke Nukem Forever

  4. Re:Nah... we'll never be irrelevant... on Wild Predictions for a Wired 2007 · · Score: 1

    Plus, I would think that for (the mostly male) scientist community, creating female replicants would higher in the priorities list.

  5. Re:You had me at "naked" on Free Guide to Naked-Eye Astronomy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm with you on that one... if only cities would implement street lights and other infrastructure light fixtures that reflect light downward, they'd be able to use lower wattage bulbs and not only save lots of money in electricity, but give us darker night skies too.

  6. Re:Adult oriented content on Piracy Outstripping Legal Video Sales? · · Score: 2, Funny

    #1 cause of computer literacy among 18-24 males.

    They download pr0n for the articles?

    Color me skeptical.

  7. OTOH on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 4, Interesting

    it could be that the booth is a PS3 in a nearly airtight clear plastic box...

    I assumed it was a case of overheat

    Also this weekend, I brought my Wii to my brother's place to show it off, only to discover he'd just scored a PS3

    After a couple of hours of side by side comparison, his wife asked him why he didn't get a Wii instead.

    Ouch.

    (I also regret not having videotaped our gaming session, as my bro's wife lost her balance and dove headfirst during a bowling throw, almost going through the widescreen tv)

  8. Re:Make the ads a game themselves! on In Game Ads May Just Not Work · · Score: 1

    I don't know how well it actually worked as an advertisement, but it's still among my favorite Genesis games.

    It sure worked on YOU! ;)

  9. Re:Keep the ban for the sake of quiet on First Cellphone Use On Airplane Given OK · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd *much* rather listen to cellphone chatter than high-pitched informationless shrieking.

    How do you know those babies arent trying to communicate something about the bad airline food, the moran pushing/kicking on the back of the seat, someone's B.O./fart wafting through the cabin, etc.

  10. Re:Where's our We-time? on Wii Owners Looking at a Nintendo Drought? · · Score: 1

    I would also like to add this piece of advice:

    Never make an accurate Mii representation of your girlfriend.

    It's way worse than answering the "do I look fat?" question.

  11. Re:Perpetual Shadow on Rotating Solar-Powered Skyscraper · · Score: 3, Funny

    Gimme an apartment on the opposite side. I'll grow teh pot, and go smoke it with you while playing video games on your giant flatscreen HDTV

  12. Re:In place of a flying car, I'm having one of the on New Type of Hot Air Blimp · · Score: 1

    I'm an apartment dweller so about the parking situation...

    If you live in a penthouse, then this blimp would clearly be useful

  13. Re:Which is better? on Famitsu For Beginners · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is not limited to gaming magazines.

    IMO they should drop all pretense and instead of reviews, have in-depth descriptions of games.

    Hardly anyone believes reviews anymore anyway, and rely on fellow gamers' opinions on forums

  14. Re:Overboard on U.S. Safety Commision 'Keeping an Eye' on the Wii · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to how much tension the straps takes before breaking myself, and also how the replacement straps fair in that metric

    My straps haven't snapped yet, but they are starting to fray where they loop on the wiimote, and I'm not even swinging it in full motion like those people you see in online wiisaster videos.

    I guess that eventually the string just becomes too weak from fraying.

  15. "and other activities" on Another Small Step Before the Giant Leap · · Score: 1

    Yea, like playing golf...

    .

  16. just in time on Nintendo To Replace Wiimote Wrist Straps · · Score: 3, Funny

    My straps were starting to fray, and I was contemplating several ghetto-style solutions...

  17. Re:Yes, I will.. on New Mars Discoveries · · Score: 1

    ..be the first to mention the idea of space creatures living under the surface of Mars.

    Space creatures or Martian creatures. Pick one.

  18. Re:Wishlist for a new Aliens game on Aliens Slated for Next-Gen Game · · Score: 2, Funny

    So basically, just a bug hunt?

  19. Re:Exactly how do terrorists behave : on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 1

    That's like saying the police should only behave slightly better than the criminals they deal with.

    And after the police starts behaving badly (according to their own standards), what can you do?

    Who will babysit the babysitters?

  20. Re:And in a pinch on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 1

    I was being sarcastic, but I'll bite...

    How can we claim the moral high ground if we don't follow the Geneva conventions?

    If we're not bound by the Geneva conventions, then why arent Afghanistan and Iraq Neutron-Bombed already?

  21. And in a pinch on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    they can also use the silly string can with a lighter as an improvised flame thrower!

    After all, the Geneva conventions don't apply when you're fighting terrists

  22. Re:Tailgating on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    good point, but a simple observation of the driving skills of just the people I know shows a strong correlation...

  23. Re:Tailgating on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Having never met you nor seen you drive I cannot automatically deny your claim as false

    Or you could have asked him how many years he's been driving, how many accidents he's been involved in, and how many driving infractions he's been ticketed for...

    I have 20 years of driving under my seatbelt, with 0 accident and 0 ticket.

  24. paging captain obvious? on Organic Matter Found In Canadian Meteorite · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Earth didnt just appear out of nothingness... it had to get its organic compound from somewhere!

    Hence "nothing is created, nothing is lost, all is transformed".

    Still, it's pretty cool to have a piece of hard evidence to back up an obvious explanation.

  25. this is a cool technology on Air Force Jams Garage Doors · · Score: 1

    if they ever find out a terrorist is about to leave his home, they can prevent it by locking his carbomb up in his own garage!
