  1. Re:I thought it was about 25th annivesary + sequel on Former Interplay Dev Talks "Disastrous" Old Star Trek Games · · Score: 1

    Have you tried DOSBox?

  2. Re:Ingenious on E. Coli Can Be Used To Clean Up Nuclear Waste · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dude, how many universes must you post that in? Give it a rest already!

  3. Re:This proves the old adage... on Burglar Logs Into Facebook On Victim's Computer · · Score: 1

    Smart ones are the ones who before robbing a house find out the facebook password of one of the neighbors...

  4. Re:Hard disks "somewhat unreliable"? on SKA Telescope To Provide a Billion PCs Worth of Processing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And I have an uncle who smoked a pack a day for 40 years and never got lung cancer.

  5. Re:Guns vs. melee on Left 4 Dead 2 Banned In Australia · · Score: 1

    Would you rather be shot to death with a shotgun or beaten to death with a crowbar?

  6. Re:Why CLR (.NET mono) and not JVM (Java)? on iPhone Gets .Net App Development · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Since when has it needed a reason?

  7. Re:It's not the oldest living organism on Scientists Clone Oldest Living Organism · · Score: 1

    Is the clone really the same organism as the original? It may have the same DNA, but identical twins do as well. And if I were ever cloned, I would not consider my clone to be me.

  8. Re:Private Car Cameras on Trust an Insurance Company's "Drive-Cam?" · · Score: 1

    Force them to drive Ford Pintos.

  9. Re:To be fair on Trust an Insurance Company's "Drive-Cam?" · · Score: 1

    Really? I thought it was because they all learned driving from GTA and Carmageddon.

  10. Re:Doubt it... on Variety, Social Aspects More Important To Game Success Than Graphics, Plot · · Score: 1

    So Plot, Price, and Graphics are more important than gameplay? I guess you're into visual novels then (though I have no idea how much they cost...)

  11. Re:It's very entertaining. on New York Times Site Pop-Up Says Your Computer Is Infected · · Score: 1

    Not if you know exactly what you're installing.

    So basically you turn off the firewall while you're installing something you know is clean, and in the meantime a dozen worms infect your PC. Well done.

  12. Re:Teenagers? on Trapped Girls Call For Help On Facebook · · Score: 1

    but it's always baffled me why 10-12 wasn't considered a "teenager"

    Why not try to sound it out?

    ten
    eleven
    twelve
    thirteen
    fourteen

  13. Re:Soo.... on AMC Releasing a New "The Prisoner" In November · · Score: 1

    Season 1? Why not compare shows strictly by their pilots, while you're at it?

  14. Re:Gender segregation in school. on Attractive Women Make Men Temporarily Stupid · · Score: 1

    Now there is a concrete argument for gender segregation of boys and girls in school

    And banning homosexual from school altogether, I take it?

  15. Re:no collateral damage on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 1

    Great, lets train all our soldiers to rape / torture civilians in the name of peace!

  16. Re:Sigh on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure any white paint would burn off long before the mirror would melt...

  17. Re:Faster than a speeding bullet? on Airborne Boeing Laser Blasts Ground Target · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you were being facetious but they were referring to the ignition of the chemicals, not the speed of the "projectile".

    Um, how do you "ignite chemicals" faster than the speed of sound?

    FTA: "Both systems employ a Chemical Oxygen Iodine Laser (COIL) that is made by combining a bunch of nasty chemicals - potassium, peroxide, chlorine, iodine and other stuff and then fired at supersonic speeds."

  18. Re:Broadband is technology not speed on Major ISPs Seek To Lower Broadband Definition · · Score: 1

    56,000 bits per second.

    Wouldn't that be 57,344 bits per second?

    Though of course good luck to you if you expect to get that much with a dial-up modem....

  19. Re:Flying Car on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 1

    So why do we need air traffic controllers?

  20. Re:just Turing? on Alan Turing Apology Campaign Grows · · Score: 1

    Oh, please. That was a single isolated case of mistaken identity

    Yes, just like 9/11 was a case of mistaken idenity (they thought we were Satan.)

    Seriously, I agree that shooting random people in subways is unlikely to be an official policy, but don't dismiss it as a mere "case of mistaken identity."

  21. Re:Nothing is too young on Texting Toddlers, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 1

    recently witness two boys, 8 and 10 years old, that literally could not stand still for 30 minutes during a wedding because they hadn't been allowed to play with their iPod Touch(es) for over an hour.

    Hey, nothing wrong with that, weddings are boring.

  22. Re:Do we really need to read it..? on The Myths of Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think the solution is clear - we need biometrically protected stickies!

  23. Re:Happened in Dallas ISD too on Bug Means High School Students' Schedule Errors May Last Days · · Score: 1

    Her school won't let her carry a concealed weopen, I want her to carry my pistol but I'm afraid if she gets caught with it there would be criminal charges filed.

    Why not just send her to school wearing an explosive vest? Then the trouble makers will definitely stay away from her.

  24. Re:Not happening on An End To Unencrypted Digital Cable TV and the HTPC · · Score: 1

    In any case, there are plenty of good shows streamed legally online by most of the major networks. When I move into my new condo, I think I'll be fine with just the internet and maybe a broadcast tv tuner.

  25. Re:What could go wrong on Drug Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    An awful lot of prison inmates are on drugs to control mental health issues. You really don't want a guy deciding not to take his meds for schizophrenia and having a psychotic break in the middle of the cafeteria.

    Is that what happens when the insanity defense fails (or isn't attempted) - they get sent to normal prison but given drugs to control their insanity? Doesn't seem right....
