  1. Re:shame. on Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90 · · Score: 1

    The last of the Great Three you mean..... R.I.P.

  2. Re:You think it's no big deal on The Real Body Snatchers · · Score: 4, Funny

    You forgot to mention that he woke up in a tub full of ice.

  3. Re:Nonsense on Discussion of Internet Addiction as Mental Illness Resurfaces · · Score: 1

    If you had broadband, you'd get all that done in 12 hours, tops.

  4. Re:I actually agree with the article. on Americans Don't Care About Domestic Spying ? · · Score: 1

    So you would support them installing cameras in your bathroom to ensure you're not doing drugs or molesting kids in there, right? It's to weed out the bad guys after all.

  5. Re:Hm on Samurai-Sword Maker May Cool Nuclear Revival · · Score: 1

    Fine, so the sword will cause you to grow a second torso as well. And another pair of legs for good measure.

  6. Re:Even the courts aren't this daft on G-Archiver Harvesting Google Mail Passwords · · Score: 1

    They're just as likely to arrest the complainee for "hacking into a google account".

  7. Re:But why? on Hacking a Pacemaker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless you're looking to kill someone by pressing a button, of course.

  8. Re:Comics as real literature on Reading Comics · · Score: 1

    What is "literature"? Most people agree that Tom Sawyer is "literature". But what about Harry Potter? Eragon? They all rely "on words and words alone."

  9. Re:About time! on BattleBots & ESPN Strike TV Deal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The worst part is that only one or two types of bots ever got anywhere. There were some very imaginative and cool designs, but none that could compete with a simple wedge.

  10. Re:You do not deserve fiber! on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's a read-only file server or something.....

  11. Re:Sediment cores on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    Well, if a Catholic dates a Muslim, they'll be on equal footing considering each one believes the other will go to Hell.

  12. Re:This guy would never make it in the real world. on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 1

    Were they working at Fight Club?

  13. Re:Not to worry ... on Using Excel As a 3D Graphics Engine · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh yeah! Good ol' C-x M-c M-vectorengine...

    Of course I still prefer butterflies.

  14. Re:Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse? on Aussie Cops Want Powers To Search Any Computer · · Score: 1

    common sense

  15. Re:I mean... on Will Mars be a One-way Trip? · · Score: 1

    Sure, promise people 172 virgins for dying on Mars and you'll have tons of volunteers. Not sure about the "perfectly sane and competent" part.

  16. Re:Another way of saying that on Jobs Says Flash Video Not Suitable for iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Setting aside the horsepower, what use is flash video with a connection speed of @10KB/s?

  17. Re:Oh come on! on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 1

    Not at all. Enough smug in the atmosphere might just be able to shield us from the gamma ray burst.

  18. Re:Thanks guys on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe he meant a "Disturbance in the Force" as planets four thousand light years away from us are wiped out. Force Disturbances, as I understand it, travel at subspace speeds at least.

  19. Re:I asked GOD on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Reminds me of an old joke:

    A man has gained an audience with God.

    Man: Oh Lord, what is a million years like to you?

    God: To me, my son, a million years is but a day.

    Man: Oh Lord, what is a million dollars like to you?

    God: To me, my son, a million dollars is but a penny.

    Man: Oh Lord, would you give me a penny?

    God: Tomorrow.

  20. Re:Quick. on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    Believe me, spending eternity burning in damnation is better than spending eternity with sanctimonious pious assholes.

    Who, and I have it on very good authority, will all be watching The Sound of Music.

  21. Re:Rest in Peace on D&D Co-Creator Gary Gygax Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    May his magic missiles defeat much darkness in the afterlife.

  22. Re:25 minutes and no whatcouldpossiblygowrong tag? on DARPA Fractionated Spacecraft Program Starts · · Score: 1

    They made it too easy.

  23. Re:Math Forfront on Mathematician Solves a Big One After 140 Years · · Score: 1

    Kind of like an operating system doesn't need to know the machine language?

  24. Re:CRTs on Obituary For the Sony Trinitron · · Score: 1

    I still have my 15" Trinitron CRT monitor. But I recently upgraded my computer and suddenly noticed that refresh rates above 60Hz all appear to be slightly out of focus. Don't know if its the fault of the 8800GT card or what, but I'm finally planning to upgrade to an LCD.

  25. Re:it's interesting to see on The Law and Politics of Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't condemn the torture of someone who claims to have hidden a nuclear bomb on a spaceship, much less someone responsible for the deaths of billions of people. Human or robot does not enter into it. Also xenocide against a species that is actively chasing and trying to destroy you seems pretty appropriate. Except then the series would've been over too soon.
