  1. Re:Say what? on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 1

    One of my favorite is the one with the time ship that kept re-writing the history of a few sectors but Voyager got caught in the middle. Can't remember the season/episode but the captain of the time ship was the guy who played Red Foreman on That 70's Show.

  2. Say what? on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 1

    Somebody's been watching this episode way too many times.

  3. Re:Dear Nintendo on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    Either you are joking or you haven't played all Zelda and Metroid games. Apart from the general theme/characters/story style, most of those games are a lot different than each other.

    Even if you don't like the fact that Nintendo keeps going with their own franchises, it's still a lot better than most games made by other companies since the last two decades, anyway.

  4. Re:Dear Nintendo on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    I was just mentioning that fact to prevent "Retro Studios coded the Metroid Prime games, not Nintendo" replies.

  5. Dear Nintendo on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As long as you have good Zelda and Metroid games (even though the last ones have been made by Retro Studios) to go with your new console, I'll buy it.

  6. Re:this is retarded on IOC Trademarks Part of Canadian National Anthem · · Score: 2, Funny

    The Americans went ahead and changed the range of dates for the daytime savings.

    We're doing one better by skipping 2010 completely.

    Some people power down their computers at night.

    Why, Max, why?!

    If you think you're unhappy.... I got 35 of the 23 questions right and I don't even know how I did that.

  10. Re:seems very pointless... on Tsunami Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be simpler to have an horizontal turbine instead of a vertical one?

  11. Re:Waterhenge! on Tsunami Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you see any tigers around here?

    Oh wait, there's one in my PowerBook.

    Never mind, then.

  12. Re:invisibility will help? on Tsunami Invisibility Cloak · · Score: 1

    Of course towels didn't work. They're not used for cloaking, they're used for inter-galactic hitchhiking.

  13. Re:Hey America on Nero Unveils LiquidTV, TiVo For Your Computer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Regular people don't want to buy new/used/old hardware to run free software. Either it works with the crap we have, or we complain/forget about it.

    No. Here is photographic proof of water on mars.

    When I flip my pancakes over in the morning, I don't think it increases their cost by much.

    G. Dr. Tran. He's a REAL doctor, from AMERICA!

  18. Re:sounds toxic on New Solar Cell Sets World Efficiency Record · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Please choose a doctor:
    A. Doctor McCoy, who's going to make you take some magical pills and ask you to get a good night sleep.
    B. Doctor Crusher, who'll treat you and then send you to counselor Troy to deal with any emotional damage.
    C. Doctor Bashir, who'll invent a whole new treatment because he can't be bothered by "ancient techniques" created by normal humans.
    D. The Doctor, who'll simply laugh at you while mentioning something along the lines of "hologram can't be harmed by such trivial things".
    E. Doctor Phlox, who probably has some kind of alien leeches he can put on you to drain out the toxins.
    F. The Doctor. He's not a real doctor, but I guess he could send you back in time to warn yourself not to do that in the first place.

    Not only that, but on a 3.5" floppy too!

  21. Re:Hybrid disks - not a novel idea after all! on PC Historian Finds Puzzling Game Diskette Image · · Score: 1

    Your Blizzard "game disks" are CDs or DVDs, not diskettes. Most software CDs and DVDs these days use the same file system, no matter what the target operating system is.

    You have to pay the price difference (which was 30 cents USD/CAD last time I checked).
