  1. A Nibble . . . on Vista Taking a Nibble Out of Apple in OS Wars? · · Score: 1
    I think it's more like a byte.

    Sorry I couldn't resist a bad pun.

  2. Re:The list on PC World's 50 Best Tech Products of All Time · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the plow (or plough, for our brethren across the pond). Seems to be a pretty important piece of technology.

  3. I'll tell you why not. on New Vote on .xxx Internet Address Nears · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem is that there is no way to define what IS and IS NOT porn.

  4. What about on Gadgets You Backpack Around the World With? · · Score: 1

    A map and compass? Useful and no batteries to charge.

  5. Re:Why stop there? on Viacom Sues Google Over YouTube for $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    Why not sue them for a googol dollars? Seems more fitting.

  6. Re:Er... on Vista Activation Cracked by Brute Force · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why not actually try to read the article to see how the program works?

    I wonder who the hell thought this should be modded funny...

    You must be new here.

  7. you should check craigslist on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    It's going to be hilarious when you're torn limb from limb by a horde of enraged 12 year old girls.

    Hey man, not so fast. I bet there's people who would pay a lot of money to do that.

  8. Boiling too easy? on Microwave Experiments Cause Sponge Disasters · · Score: 2, Informative

    Why not just put your sponges in a pot of boiling water for two minutes and skip all the exploding parts? It even works on metal scouring pads.

  9. Re:Bleh, the end of the blog is a party pooper on Give an Internet Freedom Disk · · Score: 1
    But it means free food for almost no work.. Sounds good to me

    Free food, AND beer. Don't forget the beer part. Very important.

  10. Re:Any Gamecube reviews? on Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess Review · · Score: 1
  11. Really? on Virtual Reality Creates False Memories · · Score: 1

    I'd better get my ass to Mars.

  12. wikipedia to the rescue on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think you are talking about a Tasp.

  13. In a related story on Another Study Decries Violent Games · · Score: 1

    And in another recent study, teens aged 13-18 were found to think about sex more after watching porn, versus a different group of teens who watched only cooking shows. Film at 11.

  14. Re:Their America? on Newt Gingrich Says Free Speech May Be Forfeit · · Score: 1
    Newt isn't some Bob (Klansman) Byrd fossil who doesn't understand what the net is.

    I think perhaps you are thinking of Ted "Series of Tubes" Stevens.

  15. How many bothans? on Moon May Be Geologically Active · · Score: -1, Redundant
    Thats because it's no moon, it's actually a fully armed and operational battle station.

    sorry, I had to.

  16. Wiggum said it best. on Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided · · Score: 5, Funny
    There's an old saying that says, if you want to get out of a hole, the first thing you've got to do is stop digging.

    No, no, no, dig up stupid.

  17. Whatever they choose. . . on The End of the iPod Clickwheel · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Iconic or not, I just want it work well and be easy to use.

  18. bad analogy on Scientists Make Item Invisible to Microwaves · · Score: 1

    Fluids and rays don't exactly behave the same way. Fluids follow the path of least resistance. Rays just go in a straight line until they hit something.

  19. use that space for good. on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 1

    I would rather they made the games longer, instead of more detailed. More levels, more planets, more maps. But I guess that would mean we would buy less games. . .

  20. Re:Witch Doctors, Futurologists, and Cranks on BT Futurologist On Smart Yogurt and the $7 PC · · Score: 1
    The time you have spent reading his predictions and EVEN THIS RESPONSE (emphasis mine) is time out of your life that you will never recover, and reading it will not put you to any better advantage than if you had not.

    So why'd you write it?

  21. Re:I know I am on Could You Be Addicted to the Internet? · · Score: 1
    or whatever other 'thing' on the internet that you just can't live without.

    Oh, you mean porn. That thing everyone does on the internet, that's called porn.

  22. My Definitnion on Another Golden Age of Gaming? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The Golden Age of Gaming is whenever you are old enough to understand the game and can be really good at it, but still young enough to have the loads of free time to actually play the damn thing. In my case (I'm 25) that was anywhere between five and fifteen years ago.

    The Golden Age can't be now (not for me anyway) because I have a job, a spouse, kids and a house to attend to. Oh there are plenty of great games I would love to play and really immerse my self in, but I can't really get the time.

    Now my son OTOH is five. He plays SMS and Zelda on Game Cube, and various Mario and Wario titles on his Game Boy. He doesn't quite get some of them yet, but he'll get better. His Golden Age is rapidly approaching. More games than ever to play, and a whole childhood to play them in.

    Sadly my time is over, until I retire that is.

  23. Re:99.95% acurate? on General Relativity Is At Least 99.95% Right · · Score: 1
    Einstein's still my hero. He's the Samuel L. Jackson of science

    Yeah, he's one Bad Motha Fucka alright.

  24. simple question on Possible Virtual Console Titles for Wii Launch · · Score: 1

    Why not all titles? One could fit nearly every NES game on a single dvd. Storing these old (yet great) games on a server would be trivial. The Big N owns all the rights to them. Why not make all of them available at launch?

  25. easy on Breaking Gender Cliques at Work? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Have sex with the men. That way they'll like you.
