  1. Re:Did a double-take.... on Microsoft Wants To Read Your Brain · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see how you work... *ticktickticktickticktickticktickticktickticktickticktick*

  2. Re:The Sun don't care about black people! on Solar Cells Crystallized Out of Molten Silicon · · Score: 1

    Actually the sun produces UV light as well, better known as blacklight.

    I mean seriously, Mel Gibson screwed up the source material so badly!

    I'm serious. The average otaku makes Fred Phelps look sane.

  5. Re:Read the bible lately? on Halo In Church Points Out ESRB Flaws · · Score: 1

    I've seen religious nuts, and I've seen anime nuts, and the former tend to be saner than the latter.

    Whether or not he was walking in water his morality is still orders of magnitude better than Ayn Rand's or Karl Marx's.

    Actually, old Pintos did explode. But in real life not every car is a Pinto.

    But what about Nazis buying games for their children? Objectivist Nazis?

  9. Re:no sunspots huh? on "All Quiet Alert" Issued For the Sun · · Score: 1

    The Unabomber's cause wasn't on the left. It has some vague resonace with a few leftist ideas but at the beginning of his manifesto he specifically states that he is not a leftist and that he hates leftist ethics. And that killing people is the highest form of ethics. (Or at least that telling people that killing others is wrong is a form of cultural suppression and therefore a prime evil.)

    The Black Panthers did some scary stuff on the left, though. That was the 60s though.

    The Water Vapor cycle is much, much quicker than the CO2 cycle. If it were a problem it could be solved in a few days.

  11. Re:Why are we even researching this technology? on Microsoft Wants To Read Your Brain · · Score: 1

    Remember, anything that could possibly do anything good for a government or business is automatically evil.

  12. Re:It doesn't have to be a Customs officer. on Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria · · Score: 1

    Some guys were talking about racism and Australia. Also, I'm from Sealand, which didn't exist 100 years ago! :P

    (but seriously, remember the Maine? Yeah, I'm from the country that fell for that 100 years ago.)

    Actually Boba was the accelerated growth in a petri dish. Jango was the source of the DNA.

  14. Re:"Way to anticipate what your customers need" on IU's Choice of Search Engine ChaCha "Explained" · · Score: 1

    I was wondering why OP was talking about the Green Lantern.

    I think I remember hearing that Australia was the one who blocked the racial equality clause in the League of Nations document.

  16. Re:It's amazing on Blade Runner, The Final Cut · · Score: 1

    "Lucasing" is not releasing the original. Nobody would have cared that Han no longer shot first had the originals continued to have been available for comparison back when they were released.

  17. Re:am i the only one? on Blade Runner, The Final Cut · · Score: 1

    The "classics" tend to be horrible books(with the possible exception of the Crucible, which was a play). I'm sorry, but Nathaniel Hawthorne's prose should be considered a deadly form of psychological warfare.

  18. Re:Hell yes, this is The Final Cut. on Blade Runner, The Final Cut · · Score: 1

    Unlike George Lucas' periodic childhood rapings George Lucas wasn't the one that raped your childhood. It's just the fact that Star Wars is only good when you're 11, whether or not Han shoots first. Had Lucas not made the originals unavailable for so long "Han Shoots First" wouldn't have memetically infected the population.

    Just because you can't follow something that isn't run at the speed of one plot point every 24 hours doesn't mean everyone else can't.

  20. Re:Thanks for the answer, TacoMan on Rob Malda Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    no, but i've seen people in ABJECT TERROR. that might've been the velociraptors though.

    David Morgan-Mar, is that you?

    I almost thought they were talking about the TV show Heroes and I was about to cry before I realized it was about a boring MMORPG.

    Actually, if you're using a superko rule(like you really should) the rules say infinite loops are impossible.

    I'll be taking the well known "global warming" approach where I already know what is going to prove with my research so your data point will have to be either an anomaly or possibly tweaked. You mean the one where all the controversy is created by the media?

    And I'm glad that I can take ibuprofen, what with being not old enough(and not willing, for that matter) to drink scotch...
