    I wonder why they don't use Algae, seems that stuff works extremely well and multiplies fast to prove the point

    personally, I'd add chromed tailpipes with internal LED lighting, but that's just me.

    look for the person who will benefit. And you will, uh, you know, you'll, uh, you know what I'm trying to say...

    This thing will only be fun when I have it installed on my PC...

    Until then, since I'm not in the high-risk investment market, I won't be bothered to speculate or hype this thing further.

    Current game console makers are sure to be pretty pissed off.

    Well, maybe except the guys who are making the Phantom console.

  11. this week on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    I plan on clipping a printout of the original inspiration, along with the cover of this week's issue of Time Magazine and put it up on my door...

    It should be enough to scare the crap out of anyone.

  12. personally on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, but I'll admit I'm starting to have CGI-fatigue.

    CGI should be a tool to enhance a good, original story.

    I rarely see original plots anymore being made into movies.

    One notable exception though, is the recently made Oldboy, a Korean movie.

    If you intend to see this work of genius, avoid spoilers at all costs.

  13. when I talk on the phone on How Well Do You Estimate? · · Score: 1

  14. caveat emptor on 20,000 Zombie PCs -- $3000 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If spammers are scammers, can you really expect good value for your money?

    I fully expect follow-up news stories on how someone who wanted to open a business online fell for a mass marketing scam, paying spammers thousands of dollars only to see the spammers vanish in thin air with their money.

    Yep. Either way it's hilarious.

  16. Re:How many are there? on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 4, Funny

    people complain because Lucas seems to have the Michael Jackson syndrome with the original SW trilogy.

    He can't stop altering it, to the point where it will soon all start falling apart.

    And both men live on so-called "ranches", so it gives one pause to wonder...

  17. and in the next version... on Star Wars DVD Set Previews/Reviews · · Score: 5, Funny

    Lucas, tired of people still complaining that Han shoots first, and not at the same time as Greedo, will tweak the scene so that, even though the shots look simultaneous, it will be possible to demonstrate that Han's shot fired milliseconds before Greedo's.

    However, I predict this will fail to silence the critics that still complain about Han stepping over Jabba's tail.

    yea, but they're already out of money, and lawyers don't work for free.

    an argument that always comes up in meat vs vegan diet is that vegetables are also a lifeform, they're just easier to catch, and don't show signs of pain when you cut them up.

    i remember seeing a video made with such a small wireless camera.

    the guy put it facing the ground on a model rocket.

    the video goes like:
    1) static grass.
