  1. Garnier Fructise on A Liquid That Turns Solid When Heated · · Score: 0

    Hasn't Garnier Fructise been using this stuff for a while - the name certainly sounds french. the advertisements claim that "it strenghtens your hair by 4x." You'll be able to grease your hair with that stuff and hang weights from your hair, like superman does at some museum.

  2. Privatization of Social Security on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 0

    Like the Ponzi scheme, the current system of social security cannot sustain itself unless tax brackets continue to rise or retirement age is increased. Privatization of social security makes sense, but the transition period between the current system and privatization will encounter several problems like current recipients will not be able to receive funds under privatization. What kind of a transition would be required for this country to smoothly convert to a privatized social security policy?

  3. They forgot Chronicles of Riddick on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 0

    and Dreamcatcher. And Battlefield Earth should be on top of the list.

  4. I can do that with a 7" TV and Magnifying glass. on 140" Monitor Demonstration At Purdue · · Score: 0

    ...as a friend of mine did with a 7" tv to get a 100" projection. for $20 worth of materials and 7" tv... that was one hell of a screen (flip tv upside down, attach make-shift magnifying glass, turn off the lights and vuala 100" TV), the quality was pretty good too, although a bit lacking in brightness. These self-made projection screens go pretty cheap on ebay... no recessionary budgeting needed.

  5. Re:A rumor... on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 0

    Yep, i heard it too. IN fact i saw it as part of a filmography for aronofski somewhere online. I also heard he's supposed to direct some movie visually comparable to the matrix.

  6. Why not 2019? on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 0

    oh, wait, aliens like round numbers... i forgot.

  7. Who cares about security, on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: -1, Troll

    A more important question is, do Firefox and Mozilla format the webpages correctly?

  8. 3DFX anyone? on AMD Going Dual-Core In 2005 · · Score: 0

    multiple cores seems like a temporary solution to me... eventually the multiple cores will have to get smaller and deal with heat issues as well, so we'll be back at square 1.5

  9. He can start by combing his hair. on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 0

    ...and higher a prostitute to boost his self esteem.

  10. Pay Cash on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 0

    ...or steal it

  11. Umm, no. on The Hidden Costs of Bargain Electronics · · Score: 0

    "But there are hidden costs. Horrific working conditions on assembly lines in China, heightened trade tensions with Asian nations and Wal-Mart store clerks paid so little they qualify for food stamps, are partially related to relentless pressure to sell popular products at eye-popping low prices" Ahh.. so basically if a person at Walmart is WILLING to work for less money than another, he really has no right to do so b/c the author is not comfortable with that person's wage. This isn't slavery/forced labor, it's capitalism.

  12. DVD's are obsolete on DVD-Rs go 8x · · Score: 1

    Anyone could have seen this coming. The digital age ought to be devoid of moving parts. CDs/DVDs are outdated, even though they are popular storage methods. I just got a Kingston 128mb USB key chain (1.1 nontheless), and I must say that I can't live without it now. The data transfers that I do completely replaced my CDr's..speed/efficiency/convenience unless I'm backing up big files. Now if only I can have my harddrive made out of RAM.

  13. Re:WARNING -SPOILER! on The Matrix: Resolutions · · Score: 1

    No, you missed a very big part of the movie. The reason Smith calls him neo is b/c he's "possessed" by the Oracle, who reminds Neo what he must do.. which is let smith destroy him. (the smith that neo fought turned into oracle after he died). When Smith said, "everythign that has a beg. has an end, neo" right away he "awakes" and says "what, what did i just say?" There is another example of this. When Oracle and Sati are making cookes, the oracle tells her that "cookies need love too." Then the Smith(s) replicate Seraph and Sati.. and enter the Oracles room. The agent that sati was turned into reiterates "cookies need love too"

  14. Re:Some "fun" observations. not so "fun" on The Matrix: Resolutions · · Score: 1

    - When trinity/morpheus/seraph enter club hell after the initial fight, one of the extras on the left right next to seraph (as the camera is moving backwards towards the merovingian) is wearing a "Source" mask... with the peaks/horns.

    -When neo is talking to the oracle, she puts on a bracelet, the camera switches to neo, then back to the oracle and she starts putting on the bracelet again.

    -Monica Bellucci. Indeed.
