  1. Re:Next news.... on Chicken and Egg Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Probably the same way someone with a medical neckbrace would look in both directions.

    Or how about... "We're not going there for the oil"???

    If they repeat it enough, it'll burn right into your sub-conscious.

    In fact, proof of this is that I can't remember off the top of my head the last two marketing slogans from McDs when all I can't think of is "i'm lovin it"

    That's marketing for you.

  4. Re:Where's the useful cut-off point? on 8 MegaPixel Digital Sensor Unveiled · · Score: 4, Funny

    CSI blows up 2 pixel images from grainy security cameras to look into the reflection on the suspect's eye to read the licence plate of the getaway car.

    You can only imagine what they can do with an image from 8MP sensor! Anyone holding electron microscope stocks can kiss their profits good-bye!

    On the topic of improving America...

    If every car and truck came with sharp spikes instead of airbags, the roadways would become a lot nicer, and accidents would drop immediately.

    I thought that was how they make soap?

    The car smells like Thia food.. very yummy, too.

    How many calories do you inhale if you drive with the window open?

  8. Re:charge 'em on Cutting Off an Over-Demanding End-User? · · Score: 1

    You charge your parents? So I guess that means you've repaid them for ALL OF THEIR services bringing you up as a child? Every meal, every diaper change. Or I suppose you figure that sort of stuff is free?

  9. Re:And thats why... on Using Laptops to Steal Cars · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's true. Some retain their amateur status so they can participate in the Olympics.

    Go moms!

  11. Re:Form 1040 VR on Real Life Cash Card Launched To Access Your Virtual Money · · Score: 1

    What would be cool, is a virtual underworld that can create real money. Then, I can use my flight simulator and become a virtual smuggler! Of course, I'd have to get the "Drug runner/Smuggler" add-on package for Flight Simulator.

    That's awesome! Then I can be a "virtual drug lord", and you can come fly for me.

    Failing that, I can be just some lowly "virtual crackhead" begging for money for my next hit.

  12. Re:Move all TV ads to breakfast time? Fine by me! on Is Coffee the Persuasion Bean? · · Score: 1

    People drink coffee at ALL hours of the day so I am not sure how much moving ads to the morning is going to matter. Not to mention that there are less people watching TV in the morning.

    This is because the mind is not fully functioning during that time of day just as the coffee is starting to circulate through the body. We think we're alert and able to make clear headed decisions, but in reality, we're as dumb as nails in the morning; that goes as well for late nights. This is why we'll see lots more ads in the morning, because they are applying the same logic as infomercials to traditional ads. Those are the two times during the day we're incoherent enough that sales pitches actually work.

    It is because we idolize Darth Vader, because he porked the Queen.

  14. Re:Well, at least CT is being honest. on Slashdot CSS Redesign Contest · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Honestly, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but you are the worst designer who's design I've had to look at. A chimp with a paint brush could have done better than you. You need to find something else to do with your life. Your design makes blind people scream 'Oh, mi eyes!'" - Simon Cowell

  15. Re:Perception on The Time for Women in Games · · Score: 1

    I think in more developed countries, game-playing women are perceived as nerds, hence reducing their chances of finding mates.

    Reduce their chances? What do you think the chances of a gamer girl being picked at E3? In fact, their game playing would add to their attractiveness.

  16. Re:One handed on Porn Industry Trials Burnable DVDs · · Score: 1

    Its ok, you just have to avoid sticky keys...

    Don't you just have to hit "Shift" like 5 times to get the option to turn off those sticky keys?

    Oh... wait... ooooh...

  17. Re:Lay off the Philip K Dick. on Privacy Threat in New RFID Travel Cards? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nearly everyone (who was white) was waved through. Canadian border was just as bad. Oddly, it was quite an ordeal to get into Canada, but coming back they just waved me through.

    I've always had the situation when going into the US, they ask if I have and fresh fruit/vegetables or meats to declare. However, when I go into Canada, I'm always asked if I have any firearms or weapons to declare.

  18. Re:So.,. tell me your thoughts... on FCC Commissioner Wants To Push For DRM · · Score: 1

    If it's the secondhand smoke issue... I guess maybe it's that our viewpoints differ on the threat. If you find yourself bathed in smoke on a frequent basis, I could see where you might be harmed, but we suck in so much pollution and crap just walking on the side of a busy road.

    Some people view breathing in second hand smoke, the same way as being farted on. It may not be as bad as the pollution we're breathing in while on the side of a road, but nonetheless it's something that people would rather avoid.

  19. Re:plays in Peoria?, redux on First HD-DVD Disc Reviews - Mixed Marks · · Score: 1

    I hear that when the definition and quality go up that far, you'll end up seeing things that you don't want to see (like pimple butt, razor bumps, blackheads) that otherwise would have been blurry.

    I wouldn't really call it an alphabet.. currently there are over 80,000 chinese characters

    Of which you only really need to know about 5000 characters to successfully navigate yourself through a daily paper.

    What's amazing is that a gang can be formed *UNDER* a guy with a 3rd grade education?! What does that say about the members' education?

    Let's face it, we're all screwed. We might as well start basting ourselves with the finest spices.

  24. Re:obligatory rant on efficiency vs consumption on Americans Gearing up to Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I drive a Mustang GT, and I get a whopping 15 mpg in town, and as much as 25 mpg on the highway under ideal conditions. I'd say I average around 16... BUT! I more than likely use VASTLY less fuel than you do. I telecommute, I don't drive during times of high traffic volume for any reason, and I end up driving about 6,000 miles a year.

    And you'd use even less if you had a car that got 60 mpg like your friends do.

    The point of all this is that they want to force innovation, and maybe someday we will get a high performance sports car that gets 160 mpg.

    "Necessity, the mother of all inventions." Isn't that what they say?
