  2. Re:Voltron is Japanese.. on Voltron Headed For The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I'll echo the comment to stay far, far away from the cartoons you remember fondly from your childhood...

    Gods... I remember seeing Thundercats and the Mixed Up Adventures of Ed Grimely years after seeing them as a kid... and now I want to know how I liked that drek...

    Now Exo-Squad on the other hand...

    Miller and Rodriguez are also making more Sin City movies... or at least... that's what I've heard... and that Miller is writing new stories for some of the sequels...

    I was hoping I wasn't the only one who read the headline and went, "Yep, everything may or may not be extinct..."

    I mean... Boolean logic is relatively well known, and used quite frequently by those who frequent this site...

  5. Re:Sigh on DUI Defendant Wins Source Code to Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    Actually... the breathalyzer can very easily be wrong... it takes an extremely small sample size, then extrapolates up from that. Look into some of the known science of it... if a speck of spittle gets into the device, it will push your measured BAC up much higher then it actually is. The science behind it is already questionable, and the courts have not allowed a case on the scientific basis of the device.

    Well... yes I would call the ARC sleazy... there was the issue of the funds donated for 9/11... there's the fact they allow a Red Crescent but not a Red Star of David... and several other questionable practices...

  7. Re:Way to spin it into a PS3 problem zonk. on PS3 Issues Caused GTA IV Delay? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Right! I think I've got the hang of it now!

    This guy I work with has a brother who's married to the sister of the lead developer at Rockstar's cleaning man! He said the problem they're having is that the Blu-Ray system requires three sacrificed kittens for each disc. They're trying to get enough kittens in order to provide for the launch day rush. So the problem is entirely Sony's. Sony promised it would only take half a kitten.

    That work better? :)

  9. Re:What about other revenue sources? on Higher Tuition For an Engineering Degree · · Score: 2, Funny

    But what about the athletes, and the giant alumni donations? Wouldn't that make underwater basket weaving, history of golf, competitive bowling, and the analysis of Dr. Seuss cheaper classes?

    It's times like this I remember why I decided to skip college.

  12. Re:*gasp* democrats can be evil? on Senate Majority Leader Takes On File Sharing · · Score: 1

    The retention rate also shows in some of the polling data. People will say how X is horrible (where X can be health care, banks, cars, the job market, their elected representatives), BUT their personal X is great.

    That's where we get weird stats like (numbers made up out of whole cloth to illustrate a point) 70% of Americans think the economy is going downhill/70% of Americans feel like they are doing better financially then they were a year ago.

    It seems to be a blind spot in the American mindset.

  13. Re:Child Pornography and Terrorism on Web-based Anonymizer Discontinued · · Score: 2

    I know this may be difficult to understand... but the internet CAN'T HARM ANYONE it's a bunch of interconnected computers... People on the other hand, can harm other people. People can use an item, be it the internet, a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, a stick, a heavy rock, a little rock, a bomb, a pen, a towel, a piece of rope, or a rotten egg to harm people... but the inanimate object can't harm someone.

    You have to grow your own... it takes about ten years to do so... so it's a bit of a commitment...

    Sure... Jolt is in all of the (Near) West Side Giant Eagle's that I've been in... and Bawls used to be found in CompUSA, but there's a couple of gas stations and coffee shops that carry it. That's more of a hit or miss... I know the Speedway by Hilliard has Bawls... but that's a bit harder to get your hands on then Jolt...

    I know there's also several ska/reggae bands that promote bootlegging of their concerts... especially due to the fact that there are some songs they only play live...

    Wait a second... the "Diagnosed Mental Disorders" that you mention... do those include the crap like ADD? Or are you talking actual disorders, you know, the ones that don't sound suspiciously like: "drug the kids, they'll behave then!"?

    Also... I assume you actually have a source for the claim that there is a rising occurrence?
