  1. Re:Easy on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 1

    Then you try more and more tests until you get a positive. I propose checking if she floats.

  2. Re:Easy on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 1

    I think you'd have to talk about the "advantages" of BPD with someone who suffers from it, they don't seem very happy about it and "easily controlled" is relative, they still need psychiatric care.

  3. Re:Easy on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Chromosomes aren't bits. You can theoretically have any number of chromosomes in your cells, most combinations just aren't viable and lead to a miscarriage or severe defects.

  4. Re:WHERE IS YOUR GLOBAL WARMING NOW??? on Sunspots May Be Different During This Solar Minimum · · Score: 3, Interesting

    At least it stomps right on all the "it's just solar activity!" claims when it comes to temperature differences.

  5. Re:Rechargeable batteries? on A Video Ad, In a Paper Magazine · · Score: 1

    Maybe so the things can actually be used for productive purposes like including videos that match the articles in the paper?

  6. Re:meh on New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny" · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I prefer to pretend Monstrous Regiment never existed. The only reason that ending wasn't predictable was because I expected Pratchett to be better than that.

  7. Re:meh on New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny" · · Score: 1

    I've seen a few books from Eoin Colfer already (didn't he do that Artemis Fowl series? Never read any of that...) so this isn't just him trying to get a big name for his debut, he's an established writer on his own (I'll just presume "Eoin" is a male name).

  8. Why does that need a sequel? on New Hitchhiker's Guide Book "Not Very Funny" · · Score: 1

    The Hitchhiker story is over, there's no need for more Hitchhiker books. Why not try to finish that third Dirk Gently book Adams was working on when he died? The series may not be as famous but it probably has more potential.

  9. Re:I don't believe a word of it... on Robots Make the Coins Go 'Round, Down Under · · Score: 1

    Completely automated? You think those robots repair themselves?

  10. Re:Slashkos on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    It would argue for parenting licenses.

  11. Re:Missing Details on Xbox 360 Failure Rate Is 54.2% · · Score: 1

    No, they just sum up to a large amount of cash fairly quickly, especially if you buy the 70€ full price games. Compared to a 200€ piece of hardware it doesn't take many games to bring the cost of the library up way beyond the hardware's.

  12. Re:Missing Details on Xbox 360 Failure Rate Is 54.2% · · Score: 1

    and it STILL chokes on games like Shadow of the Colossus

    To be fair, from what I've seen so does the PS2.

  13. Re:Slashkos on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    So what about Greece's life expectancy and health care and such? I recall reading they have fewer problems with those fat people than other nations because they use healthier fats like olive oil over stuff like butter.

    Vitamin D doesn't have to be absorbed from food, the human body will produce it when exposed to sunlight.

  15. Re:Slashkos on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    I'm no psychiatrist but I believe even that kind of mentality can be altered with enough training but the first step is the desire for change. It's not an illness though and you can forget about getting it covered by your medical insurance.

  16. Re:Slashkos on US Life Expectancy May Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between a mental illness and stupidity. Some mental illnesses (especially genetic ones) cause stupidity but the vast majority of idiots is clinically healthy in the head, just really badly raised.

  17. Re:Second question... on Fable III Announced For 2010 · · Score: 1

    Of course sequence breaks are always a neat thing to have.

  18. Re:a little side note on Fable III Announced For 2010 · · Score: 1

    From what I heard from people who worked under Molyneux he tends to think up new features in the middle of an interview and then talk like they're implemented already.

    It's his way of saying "hello".

    Haha I wonder if eventually video games will get so advanced that you'll be able to tell by watching me play that I have no idea how to flirt with girls.

    Don't worry, game developers are nerds too.

    Jumping lets you climb to hard to reach spots and that adds to the exploration, figuring out how to get to spot X.

    There's just one flaw in your plan: Counterstrikers train on keyboard and mouse, this is a console FPS.

  23. Re:Hrmmm.. on Fatal Explosion At Russian Hydroelectric Dam · · Score: 1

    The Russians would strip most of the protective cover from a marine nuclear reactor just to save weight, that the crew would die from radiation didn't concern them.

    But at least those are real shirts that perform the purpose of a shirt. The virtual shirts do nothing exxcept have a logo, they don't keep you warm.

    Hell, my C64 has the words "personal computer" printed on it.
