    Thunderbird was created along with everything else by the Flying Spaghetti Monster with his noodly apendage. Everyone knows that.

  4. That reminds me on Snooping Through Walls with Microwaves · · Score: 1

    There's an old saying in Washington, The scandal is not that laws are broken; the real scandal is that everything they do is legal.

    Reminds me of a great joke. . .

    One word: Cygwin. Using Windows without it is like using a toilet and not having any toilet paper.

    You just need to learn the use the three sea shells.

  9. Not everyone has balls. on Episode III Deleted Scenes Leaked Online · · Score: 1
    Takes some balls to do this right after 6 people get arrested for leaking the movie

    Or ovaries. It could have been done by girls.

  10. can't talk, eating on Hollywood's Depiction of Gamers Getting Better? · · Score: 1

    I don't watch much tv or movies, I prefer games. I do sometimes twitch though.

  11. too early on Responses To Nintendo's Revolution Controller · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll have an opinion once I use one. But my general feeling is that if the games are designed with this controller in mind and can take advantage of its features then it will be a good thing. Playing older game cube games that were made for the old style controller probably would not be so good. So I guess it all depends on the developer.

  12. Revenge of the Nerds on Gaiman and Whedon Discuss the Rise of the Geek · · Score: 2, Funny

    The 'Rise of the Geek'??!? Well I guess that's nice for the next generation if up and coming nerds, but that doesn't make the pain and humiliation that was childhood any easier. So I like Star Trek, just leave me alone asshole! Hey, I'm trying to read my cosmology book, go away!

  13. Re:LEft Handed on The King of the Mushroom Kingdom · · Score: 1
    I always knew that right meant correct but I had no idea how much negative connotation there was to left until high school when I took french. As a southpaw I was very upset to learn that the french word for left was 'gauche' which also means clumsy, akward, and rude. It's also interesting to check out the definition of sinister. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sinister/

  14. caveat on How Would You Define a Planet? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would add the condition that it must orbit a star, (to exclude moons) and not be a star itself (to exclude binary or multiple stars). And not be part of a belt of similar objects (to exclude Ceres, Juno, Pluto/Charon, and Sedna which are all spherical).

  15. Doh! on KDE 3.5 Beta 1 Announced · · Score: 4, Funny
    Qt 3.3.5 was released too late to adapt to it and it shows some fundamental compilation problems

    Oh Krap!

  16. I don't believe I'm familiar with that term on Global Warming Past The Point of No Return · · Score: 4, Funny
    it's a FEMA training film now

    Training implies that there are competent people at FEMA. An assertation I'm not sure a certain region of the US would agree with.

  17. Re:maybe... on Missing Lab Mice Infected With Plague · · Score: 1

    Did you ever see such a sight?

  18. Apologies to the Bene Gesserit on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1
    . . .how awesome it can be will flow over you.

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

  19. Am I too nerdy on Bad Science in the Press · · Score: 2, Funny
    You know, it's funny that you should mention that. I once lost a family males vs females trivial pursuit game over two science vs layman terms questions. The first was to identify the constellation that points to the north star. Being an astronomy geek I blurted our "URSA MAJOR! Brown pie please" My non-nerdy mom says "No I'm afraid its The Big Dipper"

    The second question was the location of Mount Olympus. I thought it was a little wierd that they did not use the proper latin Olympus Mons but it couldn't be anywhere but mars. Again thinking I had just won the game for the males of the family yelled "Tharsis Planitia! Yeah baby!" To which my non-martian-topography-knowing-mom said "No it's Greece even I know that.

    I guess knowing too much can be bad too.

  20. Re:sex disparity on VG Vixens Return To Playboy · · Score: 4, Insightful
    but a male form would need some pretty serious physics to get everything draping correctly

    I think source could do fine.

    Plus, who really wants to see a bunch of dudes?

    Ummm chicks? And gay guys.

  21. Re:sex disparity on VG Vixens Return To Playboy · · Score: 2, Funny
    Perhaps it's because both the porn industry and the video game industry are dominated, and run mostly by males?

    And you think some of those males aren't gay and have a thing for tough ruggedly individualistic digital types who kill monsters, but have a tender side they would only show with the right person? Ahhhh only in my dreams.

    Now to post this anonymously. . .wait! D'oh!

  22. sex disparity on VG Vixens Return To Playboy · · Score: 3, Interesting
