  1. Re:What about ineffective preparations? on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    well, compared to the size of the rock, any umbrella we can manufacture on Earth is going to be tiny

  2. Re:What about ineffective preparations? on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    I think a large umbrella would be more ineffective

  3. Re:Interestingly enough... on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 1

    even if you did pay your taxes, it might not matter afterwards.

  4. Re:Just what the world needs on Flying Cars Ready To Take Off · · Score: 2, Funny

    How much gas is wasted on all those turns and curves...

    Have you watched a car/truck commercial lately? Those are advertised as features.

    That and being able to drive on top of a mountain, deep inside a jungle, doing dusty donuts in the middle of a flat desert, and so on.

  5. possible solution on AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old for Sex · · Score: 2, Funny

    Require ppl to be 18 or older to access the internet.

    Then no one will whine anymore about kids being predatored online.

  6. Re:This sounds fatalist on Black Boxes for Spacecrafts · · Score: 1

    that, and the fact that black boxes arent even black-colored.

  7. with all the cheap networking hardware on Is Cheap Broadband UnAmerican? · · Score: 1

    on the market right now, I bet someday the people are going to set-up a really big LAN in parallel to the corporate internet.

    Hell, my uncle did it with his neighbours... ok, it's only a 10 house network, but I thought it was a pretty good setup.

  8. I'm still holding out on Resurrection Ecology Gives Life to Old Eggs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    for samples of microorganisms from Lake Vostok

  9. Re:Viability of recommendations. on Aggressive Network Self-Defense · · Score: 2, Funny

    or you could attend a hacker convention, and pretend to want to become friends with the virus/worm crowd.

    Then, when they least expect it, whip out your ASP baton, and start bashing anyone within reach yelling repeatedly "THIS IS YOUR COMPUTER BEING INFECTED!"

  10. Re:One question on Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp · · Score: 1

    so I guess the question should be, do you agree with this critical assessment of your movie?

  11. Re:Egh on The Sony/MP3 Saga Continues · · Score: 1

    blah

    I got a flash memory iRiver 1gb, because it can play mp3s and with a as-of-yet-korean-only update, I can also use it as a universal mass storage device that is automatically detected as an external hard drive.

    I find that function especially useful, since that on top of removing the need for the music file transfer software, I can just drag and drop whatever I want on it.

    I know some like the fact that it also plays OGGs but I have had some bugs with that... if someone can explain to me why, when I rip a CD to OGGs, sometimes a file or two out of ten will just not play on the iRiver, it'd be much appreciated

  12. YEAH! on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 0

    I wanna see some hot, throbbing lightsaber ACTION!

  13. Re:It's like.. on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 1

    I remember reading somewhere that one of the guys who did Matrix isnt a guy anymore

  14. Re:Obligatory on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 1

    and I was about to complain about sounds in space...

  15. Re:Shouldn't the punishment fit the crime? on Spammer Sentenced to 9 Years in Jail · · Score: 1

    I think he should be sentenced to 9 years of phone tech support at minimum wage with no raises and no opportunity for advancement...

    You forgot to add "in Bangalore".

  16. Re:Death? on Top 10 Evolutionary Adaptations · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in the concept of Death the same way the vast majority of people view it.

    I hold the view that current life on this planet (us humans included) are an extension of the first living cell, and thus we're very, very old.

    What parts of "us" that died over the successive millenia, are just the worn out parts.

  17. Re:Not Matrix on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    Couldnt you use some form of resonance? I mean, it sounds unlikely, but then again, so does this gaming technology... as long as we agree that we're only speculating here...

  18. Re:Open Source? Really?? on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 1

    If you are a law enforcement agency, 1 to 3 is also available to you...

    If you want to work in CS for one of them, just regularly check jobs.gc.ca for jobs open to the public, and look for those CS opportunities at the RCMP, CSIS, CSE, etc.

  19. After you have a home theatre on Home Theatre PC Guide · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Where do you find decent movies or interesting TV content?

    There's very little out there IMO to justify the cost.

  20. meanwhile, in Canada on AOL Enters the VoIP market · · Score: 4, Informative
  21. Not Matrix on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    More like "Strange Days", IMO. (hmmmm Angela Bassett)

    Because if you can beam stuff in, you can probably record stuff out.

    I'd rather have that sci-fi come true than the Matrix any day.

  22. Re:Directed by.. on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, on Cybertron, you can buy energon in a movie theatre. And I don't mean in a paper cube either. They give you a glass of energon, like in a bar. On Paris, you can buy energon at MacDonald's. Also, you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese on Unicron?

  23. Re:I have to.. on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    or cover all the bases and replace the word "mp3" with "pr0n".

    now everyone will pay attention.

  24. Re:Available for sale to the US? on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    you can also get one here for 146$ more... or just check that site to see what the insides of the box looks like. Looks like a Mecano set! Everything needs to be assembled.

  25. Re:Beer + /. = ? on Linux + Sci-fi + Detroit = Penguicon3.0 · · Score: 1

    but think of the trolling opportunities!

    If they let the trolls in without moderation, count me out.
