  1. Re:Good news kinda on Free Online Video Education from Top Universities · · Score: 0, Troll

    In other news, I quit myspace the other day...

  2. Re:Computer systems and their hard drives on A New Technique to Quickly Erase Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Anyone that has watched enough Hollywood movies knows that it is usually enough to shoot a couple of bullets into the monitor to destroy all sensitive data.

    Or you can have it rigged with a self destruction sequence, I.E. "Blade Trinity"..

  3. better not get bitten by one... on Successful Merger of Butterfly Species · · Score: 3, Funny

    because we can now call it a "super-butterfly". It has all of the traits of the other butterflies, including super-strength, "butterfly-sense", and agility. Eventually

    Think of the poor bastard superhero who is created by getting bit by this "super-butterfly" and has to live out his days with the secret identity of BUTTERFLY-MAN!!!

  4. lame movies on First Blu-ray Disc Reviews Posted Online · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Somewhat surprisingly, it's '50 First Dates' that ranked highest of the three in video quality

    However, the quality of the film itself is still questionable. Likewise for XXX. Fifth Element is the only film in that list that I would even watch voluntarily. Why would they release 2 of the worst movies ever made for a new format release?

  5. Re:Feedback Mixed? on Origami Feedback Mixed, says Samsung · · Score: 1

    I like it, what with all the paper swans and folded designs...

    Oh, wrong origami news discussion site...SOrry!

  6. Re:Now wait, before modding me -1 flame..... on Jack Thompson's Violent Game Bill Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    First, let me congratulate you on posting as anonomous. Second, I don't disagree that parents should be more responsible when it comes to video games. However, I don't think that merchants are responsible enough when it comes to making sure minors themselves don't buy these games.

    Do you also agree, then, that parents should be responsible as to whether or not their under-18 children can't get cigarettes from ignorant salespeople(Or does that burden lie on the salesperson/merchant). Everyone's responsible here.

  7. Now wait, before modding me -1 flame..... on Jack Thompson's Violent Game Bill Signed Into Law · · Score: 1

    ...Maybe he has a point. No, really, listen! I wholeheartedly agree that the games should not be pulled from the shelves. That's ridiculous. However, I do support strengthening the laws that keep these games out of the hands of kids. That's why they're rated M....

  8. Re:baaad grammatical pun on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    good idea, maybe we can make it the next obligatory "beowulf cluster" joke. :)

  9. Re:Some bold statements from this article on Scientists Respond to Gore on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Bravo, and mod up. If Al Gore were here, he probably would have said the same thing. How ridiculous for someone to make the claim that it dosen't exist. Now that's an embarrasment to modern science.

  10. baaad grammatical pun on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 5, Funny

    3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever

    Oh yeah, well how long will they be rushing it?
    Bad-dum-dum
    Get it? Forever? Like they'll be rushing it forever

    Thank you!!! I'll be here all week!

  11. Re:So glad to hear on Study Says Coffee Protects Against Cirrhosis · · Score: 1

    Is that 12-16 cups a day of coffee, or alcohol, or both(mixed together)?

  12. Re:Halograms on Projecting Data on a Sphere · · Score: 1

    Wow, if that wasn't the weakest attempt to post early in hopes of getting modded up, I don't know what is.

    No, no, wait, I know! It's "imagine a beowulf cluster of these running Google Earth. SWEET."

    Or, "I wonder if this thing can run X Windows"

  13. Re:What's the point? on Google Earth v4 Released - Linux Support at Last · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, I think that many people, being visual learners as they are, respond to techy stuff like "google maps" when there's big, 3d, free visual interfaces attached to it. Personally, I like to use it to look up local businesses, find restaraunts, etc.

  14. Everything I need to know about linux..... on Where Should One Go for Unix/Linux Training? · · Score: 1

    I was fortunate enough to take two classes at my community college. I found them totally valuable. I think that most places don't have these kind of classes, but if you do have the opportunity to learn in a classroom/lab environment, from a Real Unix Administrator, you can really learn alot.

  15. seems to me... on Cooler Servers or Cooler Rooms? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that you should stop the problem where it starts. Cool the servers, then the room won't get hot(duh).

  16. Re:Respect on How Much Respect Do You Get? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I found I get more respect when I loudly shout "frist psot" as soon as I enter the room

    Or, at the very least, mod points.

  17. Re:Dangerous headline.. on Joke-e-oke Makes You a Comedian · · Score: 1

    especially when combined with alcohol.

    That's because alcohol messes with your ability to make judgements.
    REminds me of this time that this girl was totally wasted and tried to tell this "would eye" joke. It lasted like 15 min., and needless to say, didn't work as planned. But it was way funnier.

  18. Re:Looks interesting to say the least on Joke-e-oke Makes You a Comedian · · Score: 1

    Yes!! I don't even need to be funny to look like a jackass!You mean, you don't need to look like a jackass to be funny?

    No, nevermind. You had it right the first time.

  19. Re:Let the cloning begin! on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 3, Funny

    I for one welcome our new cloned T-rex overlords.

  20. Re:Uh oh. on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pfft. All we need to do is a find a girl that knows how to use Unix.

    No such thing. We'd be lucky to find a chick who can turn on a computer.

  21. Maybe I don't get it... on The Great Library of Amazonia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But it seems to me that if they were supressing images and images of text to people who didn't own a proof-of-purchase, it would defeat the purpose of having that information available.

  22. Re:It'll never work on Miguel de Icaza Explains How To "Get" Mono · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First you've got to talk to a girl.

    Not neccecarily. It depends how drunk she is beforehand.
    (ducks)

    Just kidding!

  23. Re:aliens do not talk. on How To Talk To Aliens · · Score: 1

    President: What do you want us to do?

    Alien(through Brent Spiner): Just DIE!!!

  24. Re:hmm on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    If so, if we could figure out how many d6 of damage the fireball is doing, that'd give us a good clue as to the level of the caster and thus about how many hit points they have.

    So, we don't know how many rolls it gets?

  25. Re:Next on BTTV on TV Show About The Scene · · Score: 3, Funny

    "H@> Watch as these criminals amass their zombie army to spam, steal credit card info (watch for the Guest Star appearence from PHisher!) and destroy the utility of the Internet as we know it.

    Hmmm...not convinced...let's try again.

    Watch as these dorks sit in their parents basement and eat up nework traffic by sending spoof e-mail and use words like "l337", "h4x0r", and "0wn3D" to make them look like complete tools!

    Ahh, yes, that sounds better. I think we've got it now!
