  1. haha on Blu-Ray to Include New Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    I'll say the Over/Under on a crack is a liberal 36 hours.

  2. why are apple mice so small? on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    That mouse looks to be ridiculously small. I just can't stand any Apple mouse especially that stupid IMAC one that was circular.

    Being quite a bit above average in size my hands are enormous and most Apple mice simply just do not suffice. Logitech MX1000 > * I just wish it was even bigger and maybe add 3 or 4 more buttons as well.

  3. hahaha on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 1

    It must be bit torrent's fault not theirs for sending out thousands of DvD screeners to people for award shows or VIPs etc.

  4. Southpark on Planet Simpson · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Southpark owns the Simpsons any day.

  5. Re:Amazing... on Mount St. Helens Shoots Steam, Ash · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It will be more amazing when Yellowstone blows its top again. I'm sure you will know if you live within 50 miles of that because you will be killed by falling rock. You will also know if you live thousands of miles east due to the rain of ash.

  6. the motion sickness cure on Half Life 2 Stuttering Bug Official · · Score: 1

    blah sorry for lack of formatting in previous post. the cure is:

    sv_cheats 1
    fov 90

    separate commands

  7. Re:Motion sickness too! on Half Life 2 Stuttering Bug Official · · Score: 1

    Default field of view in Half-Life 2 is 75 and simply changing it to 90 has eliminated motion sickness for many, myself included. Just enable console in keyboard settings advanced options, then open console and type: sv_cheats 1 fov 90 Simple as that. If it works for you just make a new text document with those 2 lines in it, name it autoexec.cfg and put it in your Valve\Steam\SteamApps\username\half-life 2\hl2\cfg folder

  8. Native American response? on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: -1, Troll

    What will be Native American response if they end up finding caucasian human remains around the area as the alleged stone tools? Will they all of a sudden claim it is sacred ground again to preserve the idea that they were here first?

  9. Re:mycobacteria are a pain in the ass on Tuberculosis May Become A Global Threat Again · · Score: 1

    * M. kansasii, which can cause life-threatening infections in people with compromised immune systems The immune system of a multicellular organism has several functions. It acts primarily as a defense against foreign pathogens (such as viruses, bacteria, parasites), some poisons, as well as cancer. It also functions in the return of extracellular fluid to the blood, and the formation of white blood cells. I was diagnosed with this in May 2002 and was referred to as Atypical Tuberculosis which is non-communicable but treated almost same as active TB. Isonaizid, rifadin, vitamin b6 and I think ethambutol. The doctors said I was probably a carrier of it for a long time (with no real idea where when or how or why I had it) but showed no symptoms until after I wrecked on my snowboard and got really banged up and broke some ribs. Treatment lasted 18 long months of 11 pills a day and no alcohol. Its taken a year since being off the meds to start gaining back weight I lost during the early months of it.

  10. Hmm new? I think not on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    I remember hearing about this many years ago early in high school, so I do not understand why it is being called new? is it just the final release version thats been in development for 10 ish years?

  11. Terraform mars in 10 mins! on Terraform Humans First, Then Mars? · · Score: 1

    Start the reactor!

  12. Re:How to never get spam on Gmail Spam Filter Testing · · Score: 1

    University emails are the worst for this, It doesn't matter if you never even use the account, it will definately get filled up with spam. I hated my University of Iowa email because of how simple it was for spammers to get lists and mass mail the campus.

  13. minesweeper... on Can Your ATM Play Beethoven? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So who got the fastest ATM minesweeper times?

  14. some independants missing.... on Politicians For Sale... On Amazon · · Score: 1

    They clearly overlooked Mickey Mouse.

  15. Re:Protects work not data on Congressional Committee Approves Database Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So do I have to cite my source every time I look up a phone # and write it down?!

  16. all that glitters on Is Your Silver-based Thermal Paste Really Silver? · · Score: 1

    Silver is a generic term used to describe anything metallic, if the paste looks silver it isn't all that deceptive to call it arctic silver, or slick silver etc. I never actually thought there was silver in any of them anyway.
