  1. Re:Y'all could have had it earlier on PS3 European Launch 23 March, $835 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nope, we canceled it due to a government cutback.
    And they still raised taxes.

  2. Popcorn on US Military Tests Non-Lethal Heat Ray · · Score: 2, Funny

    How long after this thing is deployed will we see video's on you tube with soldiers using this thing to make popcorn ?
    And how long after will we see drunk soldiers holding the popcorn whilst it's being made ?

  3. Re:Well, we don't really have to put up with it. on DRM — It's Not Really About Piracy · · Score: 1

    I have found the moral high ground on this one, everytime I download a track I mail 10 cents to the artist. I'm pretty sure it's a hell of a lot more than they usually get per track (flashing back to thing weird al said about it ll).

    Lets not forget it's very difficult to get rid of blood traces from a car mat doesn't matter what you use (you may destroy the abilty for anyone to identify whose blood it is but not that there was blood there).

  5. Re:Lights? on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Unless they're in my house.
    Another one just blew this morning.
    And no it's not the wiring I just recently replaced it all (yes I am an electrician).
    It seems the power company has given me a bad feed.
    They only really blow when it's wet out (and I live in the uk up norf), however the electric company wont do anything because it's not off.
    I have to run a ups to power my rack (which uses a fair amount more power than just the servers).
    So it's actually more expensive for me to run the compacts as a normal bulb has a longer life span.

    But pirates take money, usually by force.
    So I was not breaking the law.

    Doh, Sorry strange reference to early 1900's when various respected people sugested that criminals could be spotted by the size of their brains. but enlarged brians would work just as well.

  10. Re:Mileage per galon is misleading measure on Americans Drove Less in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I agree with you.
    I have a prius for driving to work (and a sports car for the weekend)
    When I first got my prius I was still burning through a fair amount of fuel (had to fill up just under twice a week).
    Now I only need to fill it up once a week if that.
    No the prius is not the best car as it costs so much to build (environmentally for the batteries)
    however if the car could control the engine itself a bit better it would save even more.
    Also if they had figured out how to use lithium polymer batteries instead if nimh's it would of been a lot lighter.

    So no the prius is no where near the solution but it is getting there.

    Btw I am now averaging 74 mpg on a 100 mile daily commute

  11. Re:A treatment for depression? on Who Says Money Can't Buy Friends? · · Score: 1

    If it was my friendship it would probably push them over the edge.

  12. Re:iTMS Sales on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    His logic would be

    67,642,000 ipods of been sold but only 1.5 billion songs have been sold thats 1,500,000,000 songs
    so that's only 22 songs per ipod therefore people must be pirating songs (yaharrr) don't forget format shifting is piracy (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they think).

  13. Re:Energy conversion devices on Company Claims New Chip Converts Heat To Electricity · · Score: 1

    I used to run one on my machine to cool it but the computer kept freezing up.

    No, the motherboard and cpu actually turned into a block of ice.

    They'll start making crappy shows that no one in there right mind will watch like X-Factor or reality shows and almost constantly play re-runs of the shows that were popular at one point.
