  1. Re:Drivetrain on Real 'Akira' Motorcycle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No shit. Three chains to transfer drive power housed inside the body. Chain just below your butt and two chains right behind your back, at an axle no less. That just screams 'unexpected surgery' to me.

    Enclosed like that it's probably not too fun to maintain either.

    Cool looking bike however, if a bit too red.

    You know I just don't get the whole idea of reading *anything* in the john. If I need to 'make a donation' I want to get it over with as quickly as possible. Get in then get out. Dunno, I just can't get into any kind of book while I'm breathing the healthy aroma of a fresh dump.

    And I sure as hell don't have computer books on my mind while I've got my drawers around my ankles.

  3. Re:My thoughts on Comcast Targets Internet "Abusers" · · Score: 1

    4GB in one month over a 28.8 modem? Holy shit dude. At 28.8 with a perfect transfer rate you could transfer just over 8.7GB in one month, 30 days. Meaning you were effectively online for 15 days straight.

    Damn, I didn't realize there was that much online pr0n back then.

    Finally, did I spell ludacris wrong or something?

    Lol, yes, it's actually 'ludicrous', unless you really, really, meant to use the rapper's name. If so then forgive me and by all means ebonics away dizzle.

  5. Re:Sound? on New Battlestar Galactica - Worth a Series? · · Score: 1

    I really have to disagree with the idea that a sci fi movie shouldn't have sounds in space. Yes I know that sounds does not propagate through a vacuum, in real life. However, I am *not* watching a TV show to be remided of real life. I want escapism. I *want* to hear sounds during the space flight/combat scenes. If you make me stare at a screen with silence, like in 2001, I will change the channel. That is boring, I love sound, give it to me.

    If you can't handle the idea of sound propagating through the vacuum of space, then just picture that the 'sound' is being picked up from an array of microphones in each object generating the sound instead of a mic at the position of the camera. So what you can hear the sound of the enterprise going to warp from an external shot, just assume the sound is as it would be heard onboard the ship or something to that effect.

    Maybe I'm a more auditorily focused person, but lack of sound rips the entertainment/enjoyment out of it for me.
