  1. Re:full? on New Material Can Selectively Capture CO2 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, "like a sponge", you squeeze it and use it again.

  2. Re:Power and Cooling - the top DataCenter expenses on Google's Addiction to Cheap Electricity · · Score: 1

    ...combined with cold outside air (allowing bypass cooling)...

    Great in the wintertime. Any chance they would use that nice cold river water to help out a little during the summer? How about piping excess heat into the ground? Cooling shouldn't be the issue we make it out to be. Refrigeration units should not be necessary.

  3. Who gives a damn about copyright? on Athletes Can Blog at Olympics - with Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Here's something really whack. Freedom and knowledge, two more obscenities in today's world.

  4. Re:One can hope on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    ...the best alternative is to simply ignore mass media and get on with our lives...

    Yes, well, that's easy for me to say and do. But the mass majority is under its influence voting our rights away. I really don't care what the media does. The audience is the problem. And on a wild tangent, I would also say that considering the influence the media has on adults, it's very easy to understand its even more powerful influence on children. We're supposed to teach them how to resist, as opposed to censorship, but we don't set a very good example.

  5. Re:Wow on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    As a result, it accomplishes nothing more than grandstanding to look like they're doing something about Bush's policies.

    It's an election year. Seeing as that they are all corrupt, you won't see any real hard ball being played here. The whole system would collapse. What did you expect? The Inquisition?

  6. Re:One can hope on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the reporter didn't ask the obvious follow up question . . .

    "If they've done nothing wrong, why do they need a law granting them immunity?"


    That's because NPR is really no better than the rest of mass media. They're on a leash also. For example they could have hosted the debates and included ALL the candidates. Or they could have skipped the Monica Show to give us real news at the time. But they just follow along delivering all the fluffy headlines that everybody else produces. The hard hitting stuff is far and few between.

  7. Funny beyond belief on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 1

    Oh well, thank goodness for live CDs and the recovery partition.

  8. Re:Mars? on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    When what I think what would be far more exciting, and with much more of an impact potential, would be to send out a probe to Enceladus and Europa...

    The end of the series has been plotted out and sealed with the studio...

    Oh man! Talk about a juicy target for the... TERRORISTS(cue scary music)

    ...a soverign country, not under US rule.

    ROFL There's no such thing.

    I don't believe I've ever seen that.

  12. Re:NO FUCKIN' ROBOT on Dutch Unveil Robot Gas Station Attendant · · Score: 1

    No Shell for you!

  13. It should also be noted that on RIAA Wants Songwriter Royalty Lowered · · Score: 1

    any representations by copyright law in general that it is concerned for the 'creators' of the music must always be taken with a boxcar-load of salt. It never has been about the 'creators'. It is and always will be about the business. If you want the hammering to stop, you just got to say "when".

  14. So, I guess the Danish courts on Courts Force Danish ISP to Block Torrent Tracker · · Score: 1

    will be the ones "dragging the anchor", so to speak...

  15. Re:Money well spent? on US Pulls Plug on Low-CO2 Powerplant Project · · Score: 1

    ...but a miliIraq is a ridiculously small unit...

    80-100 million dollars, in about 8 hours time. The whole world, including the war, doesn't come close to a Kiloraq.

  16. Re:Who cares on US Pulls Plug on Low-CO2 Powerplant Project · · Score: 1

    ...but it might be able to give us the time figure out how to exploit renewable energies cheaply and safely enough..

    BAH! People will all relax thinking, "Cool, we got another 50 years"...Yeah. To do nothing. We will always max out our capacity. That's just nature. We only react to "crisis".

  17. Re:1st censorship death sentence on Internet Censorship's First Death Sentence? · · Score: 1

    Congratulations!

    *Well, I was told outside--*

    Instead of responding to the substance of my post, you parsed it, contended definition, and offered a pointless quote all while bringing nothing to the conversation. It's thanks to mindless, blinkered centrists such as yourself that we're still arguing the fucking meaning of what some scumbucket politician said instead of nailing him to the cross for abuse of power.

    You think you're so clever, with your moderate positions, never once realizing that this is real life, not some kind of obscure documentary that needs to be overanalyzed from a safe, objective distance.


    *What?!*

    You freakish fucks make me puke.

    *Look, I came here for an argument! I'm not just going to stand here... *

  18. Well, maybe it's not stem cells but... on Finnish Patient Gets New Jaw from His Own Stem Cells · · Score: 5, Funny

    A woman gets badly burned, and they graft skin from her husband's ass to rebuild her face. After the series of operations, she looks great.
    She says, "Honey, how can I ever repay you?"
    He says, "I get paid back every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."

    It's called "charisma", and it's been proven to be very dangerous. It alters the mind.
