  1. NASA's Missing the Mark on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Instead of pushing outward in it's exploration ventures, NASA should push inward and delve deep into Earth's oceans. There's a lot of possibilites for research and discovery right in our "big backyard bathtub" if only we'd take the plunge.

    Mission costs would be lower, and I really believe the payoff would be much, much greater!

  2. India should say "No Thanks!"... on China PM Wants to Rule Global Tech With India · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since India is hosting the nation of Tibet (in exile), teaming with China would be a complete slap in the face to their Tibetan guests. Not that the US really cares since Tibet holds nothing of interest to us. (like oil or strategic bits of land)

    If the US supports this partnership, then it confirms the fact that it's okay for the US to oppose dictatorships in all other countries, but China's Communist dictatorship is perfectly acceptable.

  3. Gee...This will come in handy... on Commercial Exoskeletons · · Score: 2, Funny

    when the machines start drilling down to Zion.

    Until then, I'll wait till they work out the bugs and add the guns.

  4. Let the audiences be the judges... on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    Why should I listen to the opinion of some sycophantic biographer who is probably so jealous that he didn't come up with whole the HHGTTG series that he became completely obsessed with Adams.

    I'll know how good or bad it was once I'm done with my popcorn and soda, thank you very much.

  5. As your body grows bigger... on Hitachi Goes Perpendicular · · Score: 1

    Hey, Schoolhouse Rock worked wonders for me when I was learning my multiplication tables. And the preamble to the Constitution? Fuhggedaboutit...I can't recite it without singing it.

    Personally, I'd love to see the folks who did the original Schoolhouse Rock make a comeback and do some new songs!

  6. Want a Windows refund? Two words... on Is Obtaining a Windows Refund Still Difficult? · · Score: 1

    E BAY!!

  7. Just what we needed... on Half-Life 2 - Aftermath · · Score: 1

    more stuff to pick up and throw around...Oh, and a game, too!

  8. Is it just me? on Microsoft Encarta Adopting Wikiesque Process · · Score: 1

    Does it seem like MS is starting to open up a bit? Or are they just front'n?

  9. Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu Released... on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 1

    RUN FOR YOUR LIIIIIVES!!!!

  10. They should start with this one... on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't know about you but this one looks kinda fishy to me.

  11. You want factual answers... on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1
  12. A better idea.. on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    Just get rid of it altogether. Who cares whether the sun is out or not...people will get up or go to bed when they damn well feel like it.

  13. WTF?? on Mandrakesoft Changes Name to Mandriva · · Score: 1

    Sounds like some tired old drag queen.

  14. Them and every-damn-body else! on AOL Enters the VoIP market · · Score: 1

    Another communications company dabbling in VoIP isn't news anymore. Everyone's doing it now...from big names like Cox, to smaller firms like Cavalier Telephone and a bunch of others.

    When a company can patch a network line straight into my brain, then I'll be interested...Oh...Hi, Sony...What's that?...You're working on it?...You want me to test it out?...Ummm, maybe that's not such a good ideeee0a1a10a01a1010101011010101101010101001010101 01010010101010010101010010101010101010101010100101 01010101010101...

  15. If you get fragged in the game... on Sony Patents Matrix-Like Game Technology · · Score: 1

    do you die in real life? The brain is the most powerful force in the body (aside from THE force). Studies have shown that your brain cannot distinguish from what is real and what is imagined.

    Maybe it's just me overreacting, but I see some real fatalities coming from this.

  16. YESSS!!! on Japan's 20-Year Plan for Space · · Score: 1

    Bring on the MECHA!!!

  17. The one thing that will save this movie... on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1

    is if these guys do all the robotics.

  18. I say, old chap... on 'Geek Speak' Confuses Net Users · · Score: 1

    I was told by another chap that my computer had a trojan in it. I took it apart and looked for 20 minutes for it but couldn't find it. Meanwhile, the Mrs. got tired of lying naked in bed waiting for it, and my John Thomas got a bit wangly, so I stopped looking and had tea.

  19. Evening : Outside Grauman's Theatre... on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    SW GEEK 1 knocks on door.

    SW GEEK 1: Anybody there? Is this the line for the episode 3 premiere?

    THEATRE EMPLOYEE: (peeking out) Go away! This is not the premiere you're looking for. Move along. (goes back in)

    SW GEEK 2: Dude...that was kewl! Do it again.

    SW GEEK 1: (knocks again) Hey!! You gonna be showing the Star Wars movie or what?

    THEATRE EMPLOYEE: (peeking out again) Jedi business. Go back to your drinks. (goes back in)

    SW GEEK 2: Awesome!! This movie is gonna rock!

    SW GEEK 1: Yeah. We're not leaving this line for anything!

    SW GEEK 2: Really. Except maybe for chicks.

    SW GEEK 1: No way, dude.

    SW GEEK 2: Yeah, you're right. Episode 3 here we come!

  20. Bravo, NASA!! on Mars Rovers Get Extra 18 Months · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's nice to know that some NASA projects perform beyond expectations, even with a reduced budget. The first rover mission was a prime example of pride in workmanship, despite the lack of proper funding.

    Here's hoping they can get an additional 18 months of service out of those things!

  21. Thank you, thank you, thank you... on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    for fueling my superiority complex!

  22. Gotta love those Babelfish Translations on Homemade Mecha Walks in Japan · · Score: 1

    "Just this even with big robot simply operational!"

    Call the guys at Engrish!

    On another note, that thing looks as shaky as a carny ride. The driver's gotta be streaking his shorts from fear!

  23. Damn! I'm wrong... on Finally ... RoboShark! · · Score: 1

    All these years I thought JabberJaw was the great white's retarded cousin...

  24. Unfortunately for Voyager... on NASA Proposes Ending Voyager · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Bush's plan for the expansion of space exploration is pointed in the opposite direction (Moon, Mars, & Beyond).

    I'd say sell it to the Japanese or any other fledgling space program.

  25. And then the unthinkable happened... on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: 1
