  1. Re:Buzzed by my anus on Spacecraft Buzzes By Mercury · · Score: 1

    How about Mirgin Galactic, if you use a font where the M looks like the special place on a woman + her legs? :)

  2. Steve Fosset on Researchers To Build Underwater Airplane · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't have anything to say either.

  3. Re:Screw Halo 3... on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 1

    Just play a Tauren character.

  4. Re:Rustlin' on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 2, Funny

    The last thing we need is land sharks.

  5. Re:This sounds laughably impractical on Virtual Fence Could Modernize the Old West · · Score: 1

    Of course. Dumb cows can never remember if they've been milked or not, so they just keep on producing milk, just in case.

  6. Re:Obligatory on Spacecraft Buzzes By Mercury · · Score: 0, Redundant

    FRY: This is a great, as long as you don't make me smell Uranus. Heh heh.
    LEELA: I don't get it.
    PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
    FRY: Oh. What's it called now?
    PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: Urectum.

  7. Re:Buzzed by my anus on Spacecraft Buzzes By Mercury · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's because they didn't want to have to rename the company to "Whores Galactic".

  8. Re:The ONLY way to be sure... on Will ParanoidLinux Protect the Truly Paranoid? · · Score: 1

    I thought the only way to be sure was to nuke it from orbit?

  9. Re:Friday on $700 Billion Bailout Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    What do you mean "print news is dead"? Can't you print web pages from your computer?

  10. Re:Yay! on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    Song: Amish Paradise

    From Wikipedia:
    The line "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699," is a parody of Prince's "1999." Prince has consistently refused to let "Weird Al" parody his songs.

    I changed 1699 to 2099. I guess it should have been 2399 to copy the difference of three centuries, but anyway.

    I don't think programmers will have much time to party in 2038. It's gonna be Y2K all over again, possibly much worst.

  11. Re:Probably will be great for him on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    At the bottom of the main page. It's not a download section, it's a bunch of links in the YOU'RE PITIFUL paragraph.

  12. Re:Probably will be great for him on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    And so he released it as a free download instead. You can get it directly from his website.

  13. Re:The rise of the "channel" on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    True enough, I believe my parents still have their old stereo with an 8-track player. It's no longer used, but I do have access to it.

    Okay then. Make a special "wax cylinder" edition...

  14. Re:Fantastic ! on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    The titles may be crappy but the songs are great!

  15. Re:The rise of the "channel" on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    Now if he'd said he was only going to release his next album on vinyl then THAT would have been genuinely weird.

    Not really. Vinyl players are still available and we still have people saying that vinyl sounds a lot better than CDs.

    Weird Al, release your next songs on 8-track tapes. Now THAT would be weird.

  16. Re:He's just figuring this out now? on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    Or maybe his contracts with major labels just expired, so now he announces his new method of distribution while at the same time saying to the world (and other artists) "see, we don't need the labels anymore".

  17. Re:Yay! on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 2, Funny

    Let's party like it's 2099!

  18. I can't afford this thing on Ultrasound Machine Ages Wine · · Score: 1

    But I still have an old AT computer with a Gravis Ultrasound in it. All I need to do is how to connect a bottle of wine to a 1/8" speaker output...

  19. Re:Even with the can sealed? on Ultrasound Machine Ages Wine · · Score: 1

    Out of the liquid and at the top of the can, I assume. In the end it should still be the same volume of liquid + gas.

  20. Re:Built-in browser? on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Opera running faster on the DSi would make sense if the extra RAM doesn't have to go through the GBA bus.

    As for DSi-only games, Nintendo would probably have renamed the system completely IMO. Though they did do that once with the Gameboy Color. It was still pretty close to the regular Gameboy hardware but with a higher clock speed, extra RAM (if I recall correctly), color (duh), etc.

    And of course you're right that it would sell more units. But if the DSi is better than the DS than I hope it's still close enough to the DS that companies could make one cart for both DS and DSi, with the game doing extra things when ran on a DSi instead of a DS (more effects on screen, more polygons, better music, etc), just like some companies did carts that ran on both GB and GBC.

  21. Re:0.3 megapixels? on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Nintendo DSi -> take picture -> save to SD card -> insert SD card in Wii -> view photo on Wii.

    0.3 megapixels = 640x480
    Wii = 480p

    I do wish they made it 3MP instead of 0.3MP. IMHO 0.3MP is just enough for webcams.

  22. Re:Any DRM? on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    If it's anything like Nintendo's previous portable systems, there is no region lock. There should also be language settings in it to switch it to english.

    FYI, I have a DS Lite bought in Canada (labeled C/USG-USA) but it has English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano and Japanese language settings.

  23. Built-in browser? on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Is it still Opera? Is it the same version as the DS cart + GBA RAM cart? And since Opera needed a GBA RAM cart, does this means the DSi has more internal memory and will this extra memory be accessible to games or only the built-in browser to prevent companies to make "DSi-only" games, cutting off regular DS/DS Lite owners?

  24. Depends on the type of game on Cheaper Car Insurance For Gamers · · Score: 1

    Somehow I really doubt that playing Final Fantasy XI increases my thinking speed.

  25. Re:Nice to see what's missing on Google, Circa 2001 · · Score: 4, Funny
