  1. Re:Stopping on Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All? · · Score: 1

    A MegaTon of explosives isn't a unit messure of force, it is a unit messure of energy equal to the energy of 1,000,000 metric tons of TNT being detonated.

  2. obvious on RIAA Sues Woman Who Has Never Used a Computer · · Score: 1

    Isn't it obvious what is going on here? She is from the future. I mean, everybody know that people from the future do not need to use computer because they can simply plug the internet directly into their brain (of course an adapter is required to interface with the low-tech ethernet we have today). Actually, i was lying about that. she is not from the future. sorry to get you guys all excited and ready to "welcome our internet-teathered-brained overloards." What really happened, and in telling you this, i know i am risking the safety and well being of myself and my family, is the government, in association with the RIAA, implanted in her a computer that, when she thinks about a song, crosschecks against the music that she has legally purchased. If the song she is thinking of is a song she hasn't legally purchased, it is automaticly downloaded and stored on a hard drive located where one of her kidneys was removed. So this is a warning to you, and future generations: buy your music before you think of it or suffer the fate of this woman.

  3. gloves? on Computers That Feel our Mood · · Score: 1

    Okay, i gotta put my gloves on before i use my computer. If you are like me (and i am sure soe of you are) you have a few computers in your room. It can get a bit hot at times and you want me to wear gloves? and you want me to change gloves when i change keyboards? Usually when one of my computers really pisses me off it is because it has completely locked up. If this software cannot get CPU time how is it going to know that i am getting mad? The keyboard needs a pressure activated power button: 1) get pissed 2) punch keyboard or ??? 3) reboot (ihaven't figured out how this is going to get me any money yet though, sorry) If they are giving me gloves, they may as well be boxing gloves (hey, if strong bad can type with boxing gloves so can i).

  4. Re:Hyperbole Anyone? on Physicists Close in on 'Superlens' · · Score: 1

    The politically correct term is "conjuror" (or "conjurer", if you prefer). (I'm sure i could have tacked on a "you insensitive clod", but who has got the time?)

  5. Re:simple solution.. on 360 Disc Scratching Serious Problem · · Score: 1

    And don't forget, for the rental company to buy a game cost more that a regular copy of the game, if i remeber correctly.

  6. Re:antique war plans on UK Cold War Era Nuclear War Plans Revealed · · Score: 1

    Makes me want to play Risk.

  7. play-doh on Fingerprint Scanners Fooled By Play-Doh · · Score: 3, Funny

    I went to a friend's house the other day. He told me he was looking through a box of important papers and he found the recipe for play-doh. It seemed a bit weird at first but now it just seems suspicious.

  8. lemur on New Mammal Species Found in Borneo · · Score: 1

    The first thing i thought when i saw the picture was "lemur."

    "But there certainly shouldn't be lemurs in Borneo."

    Lemurs... Madagascar. Pirates in the Indian Ocean used Madagascar as base of operations. Pirates were all about having exotic pets (monkeys, the obligotory parot. why not a lemur?). Is it posible that pirates in the Indian Ocean could have ended up in Borneo?

  9. Re:Thats cool !!! on Real-time Spam Map · · Score: 1

    now we can figure out where we need to start digging in order to come up through the bottom of thier server rooms.

  10. Re:lying liars and the lies they tell on Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org · · Score: 1

    As they so kindly asked, i tried to see the reports that their claims were based on, i.e.

    See Summary American Institute for Research report: Microsoft Office XP: StarOffice 6.0 Comparison Test

    See Summary report: Microsoft Office XP: StarOffice 6.0 Comparison Test

    See Summary eTesting Labs: Microsoft Windows XP/Office XP versus Red Hat Linux/StarOffice Migration Study

    But I honestly couldn't find them. Thank you for the bibliogaphy *cough*requirement for eleventh grade english research paper*cough*. Although, do you think they ment "American Institutes for Research"?

    And why is this "competitive guide" copyrighted? I can understand copyrighting a work of fiction, but if you are just presenting facts...

    OH! hahaha, i am so stupid, i get it now! (that will teach me to open my big stupid mouth)
