  1. Re:Actually on Exploding Cell Phone Battery Kills · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dennis Kucinich strikes again!

  2. Re:double entendre on Google Gives Up IP of Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1

    This is Google Israel. They have completely different definitions of 'good' and 'evil' over there. And don't get me started on Google Iraq....

  3. Re:But Socialists refute private property rights on Presidential Candidates and Online Privacy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I haven't seen the Republican Congress/White House do anything to stop those ridiculous eminent domain seizures of private property just so that a Walmart can be built in its place.

  4. Re:consider some of the top selling games... on Striking Writers May Work on Games · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you could consider a game that's not MMORPG or action? Single player RPGs and adventure game would especially benefit.

  5. Re:Futuristing predictions are depressing. on Rare Soviet Retro-Future Space Art · · Score: 1

    Unless the universe is long dead by the time Humanity is done with it.

  6. Re:Most of the power? on Football Field-Sized Kite Powers Latest Freighter · · Score: 1

    Plus you have to consider the power going to manage the kite....

  7. Re:So if I stop looking? on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 1

    No, you don't quite get it. Observation is the only thing that collapses probability waveforms to concrete reality. Without observers, there would be no concrete reality. Just probability waves. So we would really be destroying the universe by not observing it.

  8. Re:Scorpion? Why? on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    It's probably more closely related to a land scorpion than seahorses and sea lions are to their land counterparts....

  9. Re:Amazing on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    Seriously, though, with Earth's gravity, a 15ft human would have to either be very thin or wear an artificial exoskeleton to help support the weight.

    That's where genetically engineered bones and organs come into play. Seriously, it would take something tremendous (global epidemic, nuclear war, etc.) to make humans humans evolve "naturally." I suspect all our future evolution will be artificial.

  10. Re:Not to mention... on 10 Great Snake-Oil Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Heh, I remember such a machine from Stephen King's It. The ultra-over-protective mother had a fit when her little kid was trying one on, an example of a broken clock being right twice a day I guess.

  11. Re:Reading physics? on The Last DC Power Grid Shut Down in NYC · · Score: 1

    "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny...'"
    - Isaac Asimov.

  12. Re:Entirely secure? on Hushmail Passing PGP Keys to the US Government · · Score: 1

    Your envelopes don't have built-in scientific calculators? What kind of a geek are you?

  13. Re:No sympathy on Journalists Can't Hide News From the Internet · · Score: 1

    and even suggested suicide to her

    That's the message the FBI was unable to find on the computer, right? I doubt Megan's dad low-level formated the hard drive, so what do you think happened to it?

  14. Re:There should be a law against people who do thi on Journalists Can't Hide News From the Internet · · Score: 1

    At the very least this should slow down maniacs with Death Notes who like to play God.

  15. Re:Madness on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of the classic bugs bunny cartoon.

    *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
    "One little, two little, three little Indians."
    *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
    "Four little, five little, six little Indians."

  16. Re:Applications on A New Theory of Everything? · · Score: 1

    Finally, confirmation that I'm nobody's fool! Thanks!

  17. Re:Frankly... on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Frankly... on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 1

    Is that the Man Show clip, or did they plagiarize it?

  19. Re:Hardcore on The Value of Your Saved Game · · Score: 1

    How do PC versions of these games prevent the single player from ghosting back to an old savegame?

    Why should they, at least in single player? The only one you'd be cheating is yourself.

  20. Re:Oblig. on Babelfish Sparks Minor Diplomatic Row · · Score: 1

    Heh, imitated so many times.

  21. Re:Everyone knows it was not zombie attacks on Evidence of Historical Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis · · Score: 1

    Yes, a Ninja Pirate would make about as much sense as Scarran-Secabean hybrid or something. Or maybe even a half-Shinigami half-Hollow. Totally ridiculous.

  22. Re:Sounds like.... on Why the US Consumer Doesn't Deserve A Decent Robot · · Score: 1

    Don't ask, it's complicated.

    Let me guess, it was an accident involving a robot contraceptive and a time machine?

  23. Don't give God any ideas! on Why the US Consumer Doesn't Deserve A Decent Robot · · Score: 1

    So it's not enough that God sicks terrorists on us to punish us for our sinful ways, but now he's gonna send in robots? Someone really needs to take that Guy out.

  24. Re:I'm not... on Causes of Death Linked To Weight · · Score: 1

    Dunno if there is a correlation between home accidents and weight, though.

    Sure. The obese have more accidents, but the fat cushions their falls.

  25. Re:WASD (#20) on 50 Landmark Game Design Innovations · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it started with Doom. WASD is about strafing, not looking up and down (as long as you can keep the y-axis of the mouse from moving you forward and backward, which Doom allowed).
