  1. Yamaha R1 Motorcycle Engine on Flying Car Flies From London To Africa · · Score: 0

    According to the video below they have a Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine in that thing. Very cool, where's my flying motorcycle?!

  2. Ruining It for the Rest of Us on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 0

    I'm reminded of an episode of This American Life that discusses vaccines:

    http://thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=370

    "Stories of people who ruin things for everyone else...or who are accused of that. Like the San Diego parents who didn't vaccinate their child for measles (pictured at left: measles virus). When their seven-year-old caught the disease on an overseas trip, this decision became a whole community's problem. The outbreak infected 11 children and endangered many others."

  3. Re:I'd rather just get where I'm going. on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 0

    That's why I ride a motorcycle. You can sit there in traffic for two hours surfing and shopping and viewing porn all you want. I'll be at home.

    Ditto. I wish lane splitting were legal in AZ, but when I'm sitting in 110F in my leathers I declare lane splitting season open.
  4. Math Survival Skils on Have Mathematics Exams Become Easier? · · Score: 0
  5. Spot Satellite Messenger on GPS Trackers Find Novel Applications · · Score: 0

    Spot Messenger is a PLB that doesn't rely on cell towers. Good for being in remote areas in case something goes wrong. Friends or family can track your progress (if you let them) and you can send out a distress signal if you need help. http://www.findmespot.com/

  6. The Office Episodes on Writers Strike Officially Over · · Score: 0

    New episodes will air April 10th, and the season will end March 27th. Better than nothing.

  7. Re:VMware on VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server · · Score: 1, Funny
    What do they think all the developers of the world are going to do with their pre-public releases?


    If you are like a co-worker of mine, shout "oooOOO Vista is out!" and wipe your HD and install the beta on your primary computer.
  8. Re:Semi-hermit on Welcome to The Age of the Web Hermit · · Score: 0

    During a year in college I had become a complete recluse. Snubbing acquaintances and avoiding "friends". Anyways, the moment I realized how bad it really did become was when I was trying to say "Thank you" to a cashier and nothing came out. My throat was sore and scratchy from hardly talking. *shakes head* Good times...good times.

  9. Re:Absolutely not on Are National ID Cards a Good Idea? · · Score: 2, Funny

    FINALLY, a Nazi analogy. I was waiting for someone to bring this debate to a resonable level.

  10. Hard Hats? on Tree Climbing Robot · · Score: 1, Funny

    Are hard hats really necessary when you are watching your robot climb the tree in the parking lot? Then again, I guess these guys don't get out too much.

  11. Re:Earth slowing due to loss of mass? on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: 0

    I wonder how many people out there are spinning in their chairs right now throwing crappy old monitors off their lap.

  12. Overload... on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 0

    Ad Hominem overload...cannot...process.

  13. Still beta? on Google News Leaves Beta · · Score: -1, Redundant
  14. After level 3... on Time Extend - Beyond Good and Evil · · Score: 0

    ...you gain Ubermensch status and can ward off oppressive systems of morality. Ho man was that sweet...

  15. Thottbot on Ask Questions of the World of Warcraft Team · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Thottbot is a popular add-on to WoW that I couldn't imagine playing without. From interface additions to data mining used for its website to search off of, it has come a long way. Had the developers imagined the extent to which the Add-On capability would change the game? Also i would find it interesting to hear about the issues involved in choosing what is available to add-on software to avoid potential abuse.

  16. Intelligence Scale on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: -1, Troll

    Below Normal Retarded Creationsists
