  1. Re:Think there's going to be enough time? on Solar Cells Crystallized Out of Molten Silicon · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You must be new here, no-one RTFA on /.

  2. oblig penny arcade on How the iPod Touch Works · · Score: 1

    the first iPod to have wireless capability, although it doesn't use it to synch with a computer or friends' iPods Immediately reminded me of: http://www.penny-arcade.com/images/2006/20061003.jpg
  3. Re:Life imitates Sid Meier on Artificial Life May Be Possible Within Ten Years · · Score: 1

    DAMN I love that game..never got it to play on XP though, even with the patch :/

  4. cue the... on The CD Turns 25 Today · · Score: 1

    The younger set might have trouble appreciating the difference in auditory quality that the compact disc represented over vinyl or cassette tapes Cue the vinyl fanatics who will whine about how "warm" their vinyls sound
  5. Re:Heading off at the pass on Creationism Museum Opening in Kentucky · · Score: 1

    Logic is not "human", it is intrinsically universal.

  6. short answer: on Should Games Be More Boring? · · Score: 0

    no. long answer: hmmm...no?

  7. Re:red car district? on Posting Porn Link Judged Unlawful in Hong Kong · · Score: 0

    What? No car analogy? He willfully posted a link knowing were it went. No one held a gun to his head and made him post that link. He's being held accountable for his actions. In the adult world it's called being responsible. The question is not whether he posted a link or not, or why he did it..it is whether posting links should be illegal. Don't forget that the good old US of A has exactly the same kind of law, although instead of porn its copyrighted material.
  8. Re:depends on Is Virtual Rape a Crime? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually, there has been a case like the one you describe..you can read about it right here



    (i am so getting modded down for this)

  9. Re:The inverted-L enter/return key. on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1

    what? you don't have the inverted L in the US? Here in Europe it's rare to see one with a small enter, and I find them extremely uncomfortable (the small enters that is)..

  10. Re:when I was a young boy on RIAA Claims Ownership of All Artist Royalties For Internet Radio · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that vinyl was pressed, not cut with a cutting head..

  11. Idealism?! on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: 1

    we must also give up (some of) the idea that the world exists when we are not looking. So...this kinda confirms idealism? wtf?!
  12. Re:What did people expect? on Apple TV "Barely Watchable" · · Score: 1

    That's because scene standards dictate 350/700mb files..

  13. Re:I'm a stupid American, so... on Google Faces Plagiarism Questions Over Chinese Software · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm a stupid American, so... This brought to you by: the redundancy department of redundancy!
  14. Re:Let me get this straight: on To Verizon, "Unlimited" Means 5 GB · · Score: 1

    How the hell is this company still in business? I have lived in Sweden and Greece and if anyone did anything remotely like this they would immediately lose a gigantic portion of their customer base!

  15. How about..... on Strange Bedfellows Fight Ethanol Subsidies · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not many other issues are capable of getting left-leaning economist Paul Krugman and the Cato Institute on the same side. How about killing babies?
  16. Re:Try again. on Stephen Hawking Says Universe Created from Nothing · · Score: 1

    Please explain to me how you manage to deal with the omnipotent-benevolent problem or the can-see-the-future and we have free will problem in 10 seconds..

  17. Re:The plugin I always wanted.. on 20 Must-have Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    heh, thanks for that one..not sure if I can live with losing the pixels the bar takes up, and considering the extra click it would need to get to stuff it's probably not very productive...still, a step in the right direction :)

  18. The plugin I always wanted.. on 20 Must-have Firefox Extensions · · Score: 1

    But has never come out: the ability to group tabs, sort of like what windows XP does to windows of the same type...I always operate with 30+ tabs open and it would be nice to have similar tabs (such as torrent trackers) grouped under a single one, with a list of the tabs appearing when I mouse over..

  19. Re:The Big Flaw.... on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1

    ROTFL x2

  20. Re:Or maybe there is some truth in the belief? on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to say I love your .sig...and totally agree :)

  21. Re:there is No god on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1
    Reminded me of a quote by Jorge Luis Borges:

    Heaven and hell seem out of proportion to me: the actions of men do not deserve so much.
  22. Re:there is No god on Humans Hardwired to Believe in Supernatural Deity? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you're not talking about the Christian god though...I mean, he got pissed off and drowned everybody at one point

  23. Re:So...all potatoes are bad? on Suppressed Report Shows Cancer Link to GM Potatoes · · Score: 1

    Well I guess that most potatoes manufactured by General Motors may contain used motor oil, proven to cause cancer in humans. I say hold off for Honda potatoes...maybe even Lexus Legumes. Reminded me of the big sign in Fight Club: "You can use your old motor oil to fertilize your lawn" (or something similar)
  24. Re:So, typo or not? on MMOGs and Sandbox-Style Play · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is this a typo, a clever play on words, or an unintended pun? Yes.
  25. "Why didn't I think of that?" on Upside Down Phone Patent · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't know..maybe because the hands will be right on top of the screen and you won't be able to see anything?
