  1. I used to love computer games... on Future Ubisoft Games To Require Constant Internet Access · · Score: 1

    ...but with all the stuff these companies are pulling I do believe it is time to go back to dungeons and dragons with a bunch of friends, a pizza or three, and a lot of soda. These big game developers are so out of touch and it has all become about profit.

  2. Re:1984? on False Fact On Wikipedia Proves Itself · · Score: 1

    The birth certificate can be a bit wrong too. Back in the Stone Age when my grandpa wanted to join the army to fight for his country his birth certificate was changed to make him a year older. He then was "officially" one year older. I do believe he told of people who, when they were turned away from joining because they were not old enough, were told to come back tomorrow when they were a year older so they could join.

  3. $10 says there is life out there on Largest Ever Digital Survey of the Milky Way Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    I also have it set on my screen at work as my background. It creates such a nice glow.

  4. Re:Sharks on Laser Injures Delta Pilot's Eye · · Score: 1

    Not just the sharks... it was the shark, and the mermaid...

  5. Re:Oooh, Color-Coded!!! on Passenger Risk Database to be Implemented in U.S. · · Score: 1

    Does this mean if I am blue I can't mate with a red? How about an orange? Or Magenta?

  6. Re:Alternatives to U.S. Banking? on FBI Can Inspect Bank Records w/o Court Orders · · Score: 1

    Try a Swiss bank. As far as I know they are still safe. Or is there some law I don't know about?

  7. Re:Well on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    Interesting website; this is my favorite statistic:

    Over 600 civil aircraft collisions with deer were reported in the U.S., 1990-2003.

    Santa better start watching those flying reindeer.

  8. Re:If it ain't broke, don't fix it! on Writing an End to the Bio of BIOS? · · Score: 1

    I would agree that if it is not broke, don't fix it. Though some of the stuff in EFI does sound interesting and possibly good though I have long watched the execution of interesting and possibly good things fail. If I ever have to reboot my car because it says the driver failed...
