  1. Re:Whatever happened... on ESA Selects Targets for Asteroid Deflection Test · · Score: 1

    Her name has been changed to "Don Quijote". I hear she works for the ESA now.

  2. Re:NO DADDY NO on ESA Selects Targets for Asteroid Deflection Test · · Score: 1

    This is a good point, but there are other factors too: If a bomb was buried in an asteroid the entire energy of the bomb could be used to deflect the object: there could well be a jet or lump of material thrown off the side of the asteroid, which would help the process.

    So we're going to fill an asteroid with copies of Gigli?

  3. Re:Fighting games maybe not as intuitive... on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1

    You want hard? Try playing a fighting game on a DDR dance pad.

  4. Re:Looked sucky...but then I read the article on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Well, not quite ever, but probably since Nintendo invented the D-Pad and controller layout that we've all grown to love.

    It's beginning to look like the games industry is a ball of clay, and Nintendo has been scupting it to their every whim ever since they got their hands on it.

  5. Re:Innovation? on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Every time Nintendo makes a game that requires special hardware, they generally ship it with the game.

    Pokémon Stadium had the N64 gameboy adapter, Hey You, Pikachu! with the mic, Duck Hunt came with the NES that shipped with the light gun, Pokémon Fire Red/Leaf Green was bundled with a WiFi adapter for the GBA, Donkey Konga came with those retarded drums, ect...

  6. Re:Heavy lift aircraft don't usually do combat dro on Old Airlift Vehicle Concept Made New · · Score: 1

    Heavy lift aircraft don't usually do combat drops except from altitude and even then they are rarely if ever deployed in heavily contested areas.

    I take it that you have never seen a C-130 drop a tank out it's back end from ten feet above the ground?

  7. Re:and if it doesnt work on Controlling Hurricanes? · · Score: 1

    In which case, we nuke it again.

  8. Re:First a flood, on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 1

    You forgot all of the Boy Scouts that have been smitten with lightning and other electricity lately.

    Someone has pissed Talos off.

  9. Re:Next: tax on wanking on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    Hah! As if females read Slashdot.

  10. Re:Cute Trick on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    >> 40 million single males over 12?

    Fixed.

  11. Re:The logic here... on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    "Also, this is proposing some kind of direct link between adult porn and kiddie porn. The fact that there will be a bill linking it will be enough for a lot of people to see adult porn as causing kiddie porn..."

    Well, adult porn stars were children once...

  12. Re:Mazda RX7 on Fuel-cell Vehicles for Americans · · Score: 1

    Probably at about the same time as I can be driving an RX-78.

  13. Re:Very Sad on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why the fuck should we mourn? At most, a few hundred people died. There are still more than six billion people left. Maybe when a few hundred million die, I'll be concerned, but until then, you and your false empathy can fuck yourself.

  14. Re:Garbage on Windows Software Ugly, Boring & Uninspired · · Score: 1

    Google has a calculator built in. It can convert english to metric, and all kinds of nifty stuff. All accessable from the Firefox search bar. http://www.google.com/help/calculator.html

  15. Re:I can't believe it! on Star Destroyer Built Before Your Eyes · · Score: 1
  16. Re:Nice job, but... on Star Destroyer Built Before Your Eyes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, I think that might be a girl.

  17. Re:What they need... on Vehicle for Cockroaches · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Personally, I'd rather see the ability to mod posts stupid first. There are alot of worthless posts out there that are just plain stupid or incorrect rather than offtopic, overrated, troll, or flamebait.

  18. Re:spaceships vs particles ? on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Not if the particles are tiny spaceships.

  19. Re:Or perhaps... on AI Researchers Produce New Kind of PC Game · · Score: 1

    Well, they could just ban them from the server.




    With fire.

  20. Re:Great.... on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 1

    Except this is going to be less Sci-Fi Channel and more CNN.

  21. Oh noes? on SAG Rejects Game Contract · · Score: 1

    The fact of the matter is that games have thrived for many years before they even had voice acting. Losing a bunch of overpriced, self important little shits isn't going to hurt the industry.

    In fact, it may end up helping the industry by freeing it from the whiny bitches in Holywood and encouraging game companies to hire people off the street who can do the job just as well but will work for peanuts.

    In short, fuck SAG.

  22. Re:Tsunami info from a former park ranger on Earthquake off Northern California · · Score: 1

    ...Say, would you happen to know where I can get my hands on a few large depth charges and a good map of the seafloor?

  23. Re:Star Blazers, Speed Racer, Astroboy on Can Hayao Miyazaki Save Disney's Soul? · · Score: 1

    Eva? Bah. To hell with Eva. Mobile Suit Gundam is where it's at.

  24. Uh huh... on Games With Crates Get No Twinkie · · Score: 2, Funny

    The same article points out that you can't move crates without a forklift and a pallet for the crate to sit on. If there are crates in a place, there had better be pallets under them and at least one forklift as well.

    Because you know, it's not like crates have been around longer than forklifts.

  25. Re:This is just silly. on No Billboards in Space · · Score: 1

    I like the King ads, but kill the people responsible for "I'm lovin' it", and you have yourself a deal.
