  1. Eventually on Will The iPhone Kill The iPod? · · Score: 1

    Eventually it will happen. But not until you can either stream your library wirelessly from home or the cellphones have enough capacity to hold a music enthusiast's entire library.

    Not before.

  2. Re:bugs! on Irish Company Claims Free Energy · · Score: 1

    The problem with that is we'd all start smelling like shit, too.

  3. A BETTER Moon Landing on Has Anyone Seen the Moon Pictures? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's cool. George Lucas took 'em -- he's going to add the things that he couldn't add the first time because of budget constraints. They'll resurface in a couple years complete with better special effects and a new ending where the Ewoks dance with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren.

  4. Re:Old words but still very true on Gaming Memories Helping to Heal Katrina Wounds · · Score: 1

    Jesus, any character played by Brad Pitt, same difference.

  5. Re:50% of the voters... on Gaming Memories Helping to Heal Katrina Wounds · · Score: 1

    Now think about how many of those 21.53 percent of people actually agreed with what Bush was saying and didn't just vote on party lines (i.e. check the "Vote All Republican" box). That makes it even more depressing. Democracy doesn't really work the way we'd like it to because many people can't be bothered to vote, and even less of those can be bothered to become informed about their decisions and not just vote on partisan lines.

  6. Re:"DE"-evolution? on The De-Evolution of the Ocean · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm a third-year Computer Science major. I didn't have a to take a class in Biology to tell you that was the truth. (But I did anyway, damn General Ed.)

  7. Re:Try this on Combating Harassing Use of Mosquito Noise Device? · · Score: 1

    So, you're saying while it might be legal, you do not support the idea of barging in the old man's house in full Twisted Sister gear and attacking the Mosquito with an axe (whether I mean one with strings or one made of pointy metal is up to your interpretation).

  8. Re:Implementation or Understanding on Using Electricity to Heal · · Score: 1

    Looking inside the body, killing bacteria, and glows are a little different from actual, provable healing power, though, methinks. Granted, this is probably another route to cancer. It speeds up cell regeneration and growth from what I gather, which is pretty much what cancer does, isn't it? Makes cells replicate at an out of control pace, that is. On an unrelated to the parent comment note, ninjas and by extention (since all of them are closet ninjas) the Japanese have obviously known about this for years. Haven't any of these scientists read any manga? They're always throwing around magnified needles. Poison's passe, doncha know.

  9. Re:Time to change banks... on Techies Asked To Train Foreign Replacements · · Score: 1

    Fuck it, I'm just keeping all my money under the matress.

  10. Re:Obligatory on MS to Launch Paid Security Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    At least we don't have any "In Soviet Russia" here, I suppose. >.>

  11. Re:Obligatory on MS to Launch Paid Security Subscription Service · · Score: 1

    That seems like a bad analogy to me.

    It's more like "you've got this car, and we have basic locks and alarms installed. It's 20k."

    "Now, you can keep getting the latest in aftermarket locks and systems for 10k per year."

    It still seems like an unfair price, but now it doesn't seem so unlike what happens in other industries, does it?

  12. Re:1984 on Social Consequences and Effects of RFID Implants? · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of Shadowrun, myself. Well, aside from all the magic, dragons, elves, orks, and trolls and what have you. Well, trolls of the horned and dangerous sense, that is.

    Just wait, the corporations will take over!

  13. The reason they don'... on FCC Indecency Rules Don't Apply to Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    The FCC was set up to monitor radio and television because there is a set number of frequencies that can come into the home. Digital cable and satellite radio should not be under the guidelines of the FCC because there is no such restriction on the amount of channels there can be as there are with traditional television and radio. It was not so much a victory for subscription's freedom of speech as much as it was just a rehashing of what the FCC is actually set up to do.
