  1. Re:I have to say... on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Probably.

  2. I have to say... on Star Wars Episode 3 Play-By-Play In Pictures · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This looks totally badass.

  3. Re:Even in the future... on Enterprise Fans Buy Full-Page Ad In LA Times · · Score: 1

    It's funny, ever since Enterprise started, I've been waiting for Al to show up and explain what has to be done to leap. Maybe now that the show has been canceled, Sam can finally leap out of this canon-raping sack of shit.

  4. Re:I wonder how long before.... on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 1

    It already was. By the MPAA.

  5. Re:how will it look on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    What part of beta do you not seem to understand?

  6. This is awesome. on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I love the fact that the map loads nearly as fast as I can scroll. It's size is really nice too. Even better, the route marker it puts on the map when it gives directions isn't in the way, like it is on Mapquest.

    Add to that the wonderful UI, and I think that Google has a real winner here.

    By the way, all of you complaining that the map is USA only should note that this is only a beta. Chances are that when the full version is released, it will cover as much, or more, of the world than Mapquest.

  7. Re:Is anybody else concerned about on Solar Super-Sail Could Reach Mars in a Month · · Score: 1

    That was only a 6 MegaWatt laser. This would burn the popcorn.

  8. Re:How fast can we go on Solar Super-Sail Could Reach Mars in a Month · · Score: 1

    Probably some time after we reach Warp 1.

  9. Fansubbers are the problem? on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 1

    But even with this new interest, sales of DVDs--which amount to about 5.7 million copies a year, according to internal industry estimates--are holding steady or dropping. Companies worry that the easy prerelease availability of fansub versions means that the otaku class has already seen their products, and no longer need to buy anything but the must-haves. Of course, it's got to be the fansubbers. It certianly can't be the fact that it's $25 for a DVD that only has three or four episodes of the 26 episode series...

  10. Re:xbox and pcmini on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1

    Well, the Mac Mini won't kill you if it falls on you, for one.

  11. Re:Ban File Sharing on Is IRC All Bad? · · Score: 1

    That would never work. If all forms of filesharing were banned, people would just post the binary source on forums.

  12. Outsourcing Goes Bad? on What Do You Do When Outsourcing Goes Bad? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Doesn't that imply that outsourcing is good to begin with?

  13. Re:No, but make a film about how Islam treats wome on Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs · · Score: 1

    ...How exactly is this "Insightful"?

  14. Re:and no Tegam site's link? on Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs · · Score: 1
  15. What's next? on Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Will the little Dutch boy be executed for sticking his finger in the dike?

  16. Re:i got a friend there on Penn State Tells Students To Ditch IE · · Score: 1

    Speaking of bullshit...

    By the way, check the date on 0.1. It says "2002-09-23". If you can't do the math, that's more than two years.

  17. Re:My college. on Penn State Tells Students To Ditch IE · · Score: 1

    So "uninstall" IE. Problem solved.

  18. Time to get out the red carpet. on The Threat From Life on Mars · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new incurable microbiological overlords that we have no cure for.

  19. Re:Boron as a fuel, on Fuel Cell Powered Scooter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The page says that one of boron's advantages is that it requires pure oxygen to burn, and thus won't ignite in our atmosphere. Doesn't that imply that a vehicle using boron as a fuel would require it's own supply of pure oxygen to run?

    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't pure oxygen tend to make things explode? I think that any safety advantage provided by the non-flamability of boron would be negated by the explosion inducing properties of pure oxygen.

  20. Re:Martin? is that you? I-83 failed, Martin... on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    I-83 may have failed, but the fact that people keep trying to stop construction, combined with the fact that it's been years since the original plan was drafted with nothing to show for it, implies that a large number of people want to stop the project.

  21. Re:This is just like the Pirates of the Caribbean on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    Yarr! Needles off the port bow! Load the pipes, we're takin' the 12th street station!

  22. Re:Rush Hour on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    I'd imagine that the more popular destinations would get bigger stations.

  23. Wow. on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    This is really cool. I hope it catches on. Maybe it can be built in the Seattle-Tacoma area instead of the monorail that nobody wants to pay for.

  24. Re:Three passengers on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    Take more than one car, obviously.

  25. Re:PIN "number"? on Bill Gates Proclaims End of Passwords · · Score: 1

    Funny, I've never heard anyone say "IP protocol". Do the voices in your head ride the short bus too, or is that just you?
