  1. Re:great timing! on Warner Music Pushing Music Tax For Universities · · Score: 5, Informative

    Check his links. The one linked from "growing" has the title "Harvard's Endowment Plunges 8 Billion." I think you've just restated his point.

  2. Re:Good? He's the best! on Mystery Science Theater Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Well, the song's good but it could really use a hook.

    What do you think?

    It stinks!

  3. Re:OMGWTF on Playstation Network Gets Revised, More Restrictive ToS · · Score: 1

    Is that you, Chris Hansen?

  4. Re:5th on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    Or very small rocks.

  5. Re:404?!?!? on Google Chrome, the Google Browser · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and read the last line of the summary.

    False alarm. Strap the oat bags back on the horses, fellas.

    I'm pretty sure they've stated that you can change it to iso view instead of FP.

    Yes

  8. Re:Pics or it didn't happen on Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    "It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it."

    So I assume he's "proof" is that he was briefed on their existence and visitation. FWIW.

  9. Re:OSS MMO = Free Leet Gear! on Open Sourcing MMOs · · Score: 1, Funny

    Ha, Ha! I parry your sword of 1000 truths and strike back with my Bushian Flail of a billion duhs.

    I really like this idea for an open source MMO. Seems like fertile ground for political/social commentary.

  10. Re:What's the point? on Open Sourcing MMOs · · Score: 1

    The same can be said of any game with cheats like Doom or Civ. Just because someone can do what you are suggesting doesn't mean everyone will, or that those who do it will destroy their enjoyment.

  11. Re:WTFOMGBBQ? on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 1

    It doesn't. It just shows the hypocrisy of Congress. They won't do anything about this, but you can bet that when they use a military plane they'll have one of these comfort capsules, because they are so damn special.

  12. Re:WTFOMGBBQ? on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In this case I assume they'll say, "Oh, well, there's nothing we can do. By the way, Air Force, I want to take a 'tour' around Iraq and Afghanistan, prep a C-17 with a comfort capsule on it. These capsules aren't just for Air Force personnel they are for any DV. These people who are saying no to the spending will be the same people using it next month.

  13. Re:USAF... on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bullshit, the USAF does NOT build golf courses first. They build the O-Club first then whatever money is left goes to the golf course. They delay the runway and other necessary ops till the Army has to have them and pays for 'em.

  14. Re:huh? on USAF Counter-Terror Funds Buy "Comfort Capsules" · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's just a unit loaded onto the plane. Former SecDef Rumsfeld had what was called the "Silver Bullet." It was a small oblong silver trailer type unit that was secured on top of pallets then loaded into the aircraft just like any other pallet train. Inside he had a desk, couch, TV (with sat) and a bed. Funny note, he takes his pants off while he's in there during flight. We, the flight crew, didn't get anything like that.

  15. Re:Wolfenstein on World's First 2GB Graphics Card Is Here · · Score: 1

    Hell, I just plugged one of these bad boys in and then popped in--you guessed it--Zork. Man, this card is so bad ass I have to take speed reading classes just to keep up with the awesomeness. And talk about sharp text! Watch out, yo, that shit'l cut ya it's so sharp.

  16. Re:You want bad air...? on The World's 10 Dirtiest Cities · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or my apartment after eating a Crave Case full of White Castle cheeseburgers. Oof!

  17. Re:This is why robots aren't great for science on Probable Water Ice Sighted On Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    B: Philip Fry crashes on moon and dies a death Oh! Had they only built the ship with 6000 and 1 hulls this would have been avoided. When will they ever learn?

    I agree though; this robot isn't as good as a human, but the folks at NASA are pretty bright. It's speculation now but after a few more tests they'll have the data they need for a solid conclusion. It's still very early in the lander's mission on Mars. We need to have a little patience.

  18. Re:Deistic proof? on Alternate Baseball Universes · · Score: 3, Funny

    What would God need with an impressive hitting streak? Besides, Jesus can't hit a curve ball so he'd never make it anyway.

  19. Re:Now that that's over on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why would they? The old ones didn't come with HD-DVD. If you mean will MS make a Blu-Ray add on then maybe. They said back in 2006 they'd think about it if Blu-Ray won. I doubt it, though. MS said that before the Video Marketplace had much content. It's been speculated that MS adopted HD-DVD simply to confuse the market and indirectly push digital download services. Face it, MS wants DD to win because that's where they make the most money.

  20. Re:Blashphemy ! on 111 Years Ago, Indiana Almost Legislated Pi · · Score: 1

    Patent Pi? That reminds me of a Young Albert Einstein having just arrived in Australia after boating over from his native Tasmania. He had just found the secret to putting bubbles in beer and wanted to patent the formula: E=mc^2. Oh, Mr. Einstein, what do you want to do? Patent your head?

  21. Re:Not Good on NVIDIA To Buy AGEIA · · Score: 1

    Oh noes! There's no hope for Duke Nukem Forever if this happens! They can't complete one game let alone three.

    At least Satan can put away his parka for another year, and we can rest assured the sun is not going red giant anytime soon.

  22. Re:Geekgasm on A Mythbuster's Biggest Tech Headaches (and Solutions) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could just be marketing between Discovery/AOL or whatever. If you're going to show some software/hardware why not get someone to pay you advertising fees for it? Could be, might not be. Someone braver than me could trek into MySpace land and post the question.

  23. Re:ISP's aren't throttling...they're adding burst on P2P Fans Pound Comcast In FCC Comments · · Score: 1

    I believe you are right. I received a letter in the mail informing me of some "Comcastic" features (Comcast just took over my old provider Insight). They touted a "burst" feature that will allow speeds up to 12 Mb/s above the normal 10 Mb/s. They didn't detail streaming vs. surfing, though.
