  1. Re:How to measure tank fills? on Hybrid Drivers Provide Real-World Mileage Data · · Score: 1

    ThinkGeek has something similar to what your mechanic uses to read your cars computer.

    Oh, well sorry. I'm an asshole for saying that.

    Never said I had it to save gas. Thanks for telling me what I already knew, though!

    Throw in a turbo charger and it just DRINKS gas.

    I've got a '96 Eclipse GSX (Turbo and AWD, no not riced out just stock) and driving from home to the mall on the Mass Pike I can either make it in 1/4 of a tank if I go 65 the whole way or 3/4 of a tank if I drive like an asshole (115+ MPH). I usually just drive to and from work, and how I pull out of my driveway really changes if I need to get gas every week or every other week.

    It's not anything but over the top and silly. Saying "He mutilated his servants with his mind bullets" is dumb as all fuck. Oh shit, not rape by demons!

    And if you can't tell actual mutliated bodies from a fake king who uses his mind for torture, you shouldn't be playing games in the first place.

  6. Re:firefox??? on Vacuum-Controlled Elevator Developed · · Score: 1

    I'm going to take a guess and say because Firefox isn't a media player. It's a standard mpeg, played fine in Winamp after launching the link from firefox.

  7. Re:use the stairs fatty ! on Vacuum-Controlled Elevator Developed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because people who use walkers love running up and down the stairs.

  8. Re:Misleading article.. on Morse Code Faster Than SMS · · Score: 1

    What text input device has one big button you have to hit over and over to get letters to show up? Keyboards have one letter per key.

  9. Re:ewww on Morse Code Faster Than SMS · · Score: 1

    I think it's funny using a telephone to send text entered by hand while there are many Voice to Text programs to make voice text. We're talking to our typing machines and typing on our voice communication machines.

  10. Re:Just to focus on one quote on A Parent's Guide to Role Playing Games · · Score: 1

    But it's silly no matter how you find out about it.

    It's the kind of thing that is mentioned in every episode of Puppets Who Kill. That's a comedy show about puppets who murder people.

  11. Re:Rhetorical: Why is the next Xbox debuting on MT on IGN TV? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Adult Swim, who's main demographic is 18-34 males.

    Except "Lesser amount of people" we've got the most least amount of people.

    How is that techno-babble shit? Everyone has that in their EULA. From Blizzard to Apple. They don't have to tell you when they change the EULA. Blizzard actually does but they don't have to.

    That's not very twisted, in fact, it's so over the top that it's silly sounding.

    Like all the gore movies, there's a line where things stop being gross or disgusting and just start being silly.

  15. Re:I would love to see the marketing research... on Alienware's Star Wars PCs · · Score: 1

    How is a computer "gay"?

  16. Re:This is not anything new. on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    A fun side effect of not needing to talk to the tracker is that you don't need an account at the "exclusive" 0-Day type sites to download their releases.

  17. Re:Just to focus on one quote on A Parent's Guide to Role Playing Games · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What about the person who doesn't care about the score, but plays the game for fun? High Score isn't fun for everyone.

  18. Re:Ambiguous title on Something Awful on G4TV · · Score: 1

    So read what's under the title.

    "Reader Mantorp wrote in to mention an article over on Something Awful (reader beware) discussing the good and bad points of everyone's favorite video gaming channel, G4."

  19. Re:From how he describes it... on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Coincidence and strange men hearing strange voices in their heads. Beleiving that the voices are real? That's normal, alright.

  20. Re:nah on Time Travelers' Convention · · Score: 1

    Just by thinking "We should publish this event and see if people show up" and people don't call before you publish it to RSVP, you can be sure that it failed. From the future. In.. science.

    I honestly hope that before you played GTA you didn't yank the Jesus Handle when you took tight turns on crowded streets.

  22. Where I work.. on Would You Submit Biometric Data to Join a Gym? · · Score: 1

    The timeclock is a finger print scanner. You enter a 6 digit "PIN" (That's posted on the wall behind the scanner) and put your finger on a little pad (The little pad is covered in the same kind of gunk that clogs up non-optical mice) and 8 out of 10 times it scans properly.

    We used to have a system where you would swipe your ID card, but the managers got tired of people swiping each other in and out, so they switched to this.

    Well, yeah they are, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the topic.
