  1. Re:Maybe... on Pushing 800W of Wireless Power at 5 Meters · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Step 4 involves something about moving any and all geeky objects you own out of living areas, and into storage.
    This seems to be some sort of decryption that allows access to the "secured" ares of females.

  2. Re:Silver Lining on Next-Gen Mars Rover Mission Delayed 2 Years, To 2011 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good, fast, cheap. Pick two.

  3. So, as a car analogy... on The Gene Is Having an Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    ...we had been assuming that the layout of cupholders determines what the make/model is?
    Somebody help me out here, I'm on pain meds and not thinking at 100% capacity...

  4. Re:Democratic on Titan Balloon Mission Being Drafted · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome Space Cows. They won't be Overlords, but they will be a necessary step in producing Space Icecream. Frozen naturally in the cold of space, inside a pressurized container, producing that fluffy texture that only Zero Gravity can create.

  5. Re:Why don't rockets count ? on The World's Heaviest Robot · · Score: 1

    It's all in the marketing. Also, I'm not sure you can count fuel weight as being part of the machine. The single-use nature of rockets also makes them questionable choices for counting here.

  6. Re:Same thing happened to me after Metroid on Blizzard Sued By South Carolina Inmate · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sue Nintendo for loss of genetic material.

  7. Re:Alright, let's decide right now. on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 1

    Terra-formed moon!
    Nothing scarier than velociraptors that can jump 6x further.

  8. Re:Not dinosaurs on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 4, Funny

    During the sentencing of John Doe for the killing and eating of albino baby seals, the judge calls John up to the stand, and quietly asks him: "Out of sheer curiosity, what did they taste like?"
    To which John replies: "Sort of like a cross between bald eagle eggs and emperor penguin."

  9. Re:16 years is not on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 1

    Thing is, you should only need to find one perfect example of a species to be able to start cloning. Or, possibly put together a DNA puzzle from multiple specimen of the same species. Franken-t-rex FTW. (IANA Genetist. Feel free to lampoon my sci-fi views of genetic science now.)

    Also, it'll be convienant to have a source of self-replicating hamburger to feed my new mini-dino guardpet.

  10. Re:Now available from Monster on Experimental Magnetic Shield Against Cosmic Rays · · Score: 1

    ...for when you need the clearest signal possible, even when the Sun is going nova.

  11. Re:Vote on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, Nebraska and Maine both do it.

  12. Re:Looking from afar... on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Education · · Score: 1

    Intelligent people are also prone to overthinking, which has been both the bane and boon of mankind.

  13. Re:Meet the new Senator, same as the old Senator.. on Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    More than likely, he'll be beaten in the election by Mark Begich, the current Mayor of Anchorage. Other than being a proponent of photo radar, he doesn't seem like such a bad guy.
    That said, power has this tenacious tendancy to corrupt.

  14. Man Of The Year!?! on WV Voters Say Machines Are Switching Votes · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Doesn't anybody remember the Robin Williams movie? The voting machines are rigged to change random votes to the candidate with alphabeticaly-first double letters. John McCain?!
    It's exactly like in the movie!

    /sarcasm

  15. Re:Aliens Cause Global Warming on Number of ET Civilizations In Our Galaxy Is 37,964 · · Score: 1

    Worse yet, hundreds and hundreds (possibly thousands!) of velociraptors are shipped out of L.A. every day across the nation, all mysteriously branded "WD"

  16. Re:Really. on Online Community For a Call Center? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've actually seen that used as a way to get fired on purpose at my call center.
    IIRC, it was a Monday, their rent was due Friday, and it wasn't a pay week. Under the state's law, fired employees must recieve their last paycheck within 3 days of being fired.

  17. Re:Asteroid? Why not meteor? on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    Or would it be red-hot twins?

  18. Re:Electric Gas Cans? on Plug-in Hybrids May Not Go Mainstream, Toyota Says · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would want to know the range on the electric system and the millage when running purely on gas
    They never run purely on gas though. Like you said, the gas engine merely charges the batteries, it isn't directly connected to power the wheels at all.
    Personally, I'd like to see a MKw measurement (miles per kilowatt) become standard. Then, for the gas generators, you could get Kw/gallon.

  19. Re:Required... on Researchers Identify Wi-Fi Dead Zones Cheaply · · Score: 3, Funny

    Disabled USB drives FTL. I'd be surprised if they're not keylogging me in the background right now. Did I mention my boss is awesome? (Task Manager is even locked out!)

  20. Re:Required... on Researchers Identify Wi-Fi Dead Zones Cheaply · · Score: 1

    I know. Damn my work for making me use IE6. I miss built-in spellcheck.

  21. Obligitory... on Researchers Identify Wi-Fi Dead Zones Cheaply · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can you hear me now?
    What do you mean I'm fired? You found a better way to do this?

  23. Re:Not such a bad idea on Comcast Outlines New Broadband Policy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I agree. This way of load balancing seems incredibly fair. However, the first time I get close to the 250gb cap, I'm heading over to Qwest and finding out how much an FTTP install costs.

  24. Re:I can wait on LHC Offline Until April 2009 (Or Longer) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which reminds me, I need to make sure that my wet bar is fully stocked.

    You kidding? I'm having a full-out PARTY for that debate. Hot dogs, wings, and beer all around. I expect it to be more entertaining than the combined entertainment value of the last year of MTV.
    Games to play: Write down your favorite dumb Palin quote of the night, toss in the hat, see which gets the most votes!
    Biden roulette! Hand out poker chips, put your bets down on "Yes/No" or "Gong" for each answer.

  25. Re:Sensible? on Microsoft Innovates Tent Data Centers · · Score: 1

    A wireless underground garden server (WUGS) powered by your neighbor's electricity would be an excellent place to keep any sensitive files, in case of intruders. WUGS would be incredibly unlikely to be found, negating any need for emergency data erasure.
