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

    if you have to ask what price, you probably can't afford it...

    At least, this Korean robot isn't on the cheap side

  2. Re:and the Irony of it all on U.S. Blogger Breaches Canadian Publication Ban · · Score: 1

    I'd like to know the last time a political figure was sent to a federal PMITA prison for a similar offence...

    I doubt any major figure in the federal Liberal party is going to be jailed.

    We're spending millions to conduct an enquiry on how taxpayers dollars were wasted. /Canadian

  4. Re:I guess ... on Black Holes 'Do Not Exist,' Contends Physicist · · Score: 1

    ... that leaves the wormholes out of the picture, too?

    I beg to differ.

    wow. nostalgic potato couch technology.

  7. I'll only buy it on Spam Kings · · Score: 3, Funny

    if it includes a DVDROM full of the latest spamming software and a bunch of emailing addresses to get me started in the biz.

  8. Re:typecast on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is not always necessarily true...

    For example, I really liked Jean-Luc Picard's role as Professor X in the X-men movies.

  9. it would be nicer on User Review of N-Charge II Laptop Battery · · Score: 4, Insightful

    if airlines would put electrical outlets along the aisles for people to plug their laptops in.

  10. Earlier today on Computer Crash Reactions Examined · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I went to my bank's ATM, and the lady in front of me was arguing with the machine.

    "That's not TRUE!"
    "WTF do you mean, insufficient funds?!"
    "I did put it in!"


    For a second I had a flashback of that movie Slapshot when the guy inside the vending machine opens the door...

  11. instead of an implant on Why One Man Got a Guerrilla RFID Implant · · Score: 1

    You could just put your RFID device on a bracelet made from a bicycle chain.

    If you want to remove it, you'll need a chain breaking tool, so it's difficult enough to remove by someone who would steal it, and easy enough to remove if you want to "opt out".

    You can even add or remove links if you gain/lose weight.

  12. Re:It always stuns me on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think it's due to a lack of hockey season this year.

    I'll believe this when I see some proof...

    I remember reading somewhere that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy are involved.

  14. I'm still waiting on GTA3 and Vice City now Online Multiplayer · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I'm more of a San Andreas kind of guy.

  17. Re:I guess it may not be that profitable on Spammer Bankrupted by Anti-Spammer Suits · · Score: 1

    and the winners of that lawsuit would get about 5 cents each, after the lawyers got their take.

  18. Re:Google set top, anyone? on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't be surprised if one day, digital TV shows have code that prevent you from watching it if you skip or block the ads.

    Hopefully by then, people will have developped hardware to crack such measures.

    If not, well, I'll just continue doing what I'm doing now, i.e. not watch TV.

  19. Re:Slicon Shortage on New Photovoltaics Made with Titanium Foil · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now you can wear your tinfoil hat

    Don't you mean "your Ti foil hat"?

  20. The only useful feature on Professor Finds Fault with MS Grammar Checker · · Score: 1

    I use in spellcheckers, Microsoft's, Corel's or others', is the spellcheck. I do this prior to an actual proofreading to catch typos, and afterwards as well, to make sure that no word was automagically changed by the software.

    You see, Word and Wordperfect have a tendency to forget that I turn their auto-correct and auto-replace functions off, which can introduce errors.

  21. Re:I already have a good solution on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 1

    but how would you setup a pillow-hitting system?

  22. I already have a good solution on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Programmable automatic coffee maker.

    The smell of fresh brewed coffee makes me want to get out of bed to get my fix.

    When the powers that be eventually succeed in eliminating porn and piracy from the Internet, won't the ISPs go broke when everyone cancels their subscription?
