  1. Re:So THAT's where the flood water CAME FROM on Huge Reservoir Discovered Beneath Asia · · Score: 2, Informative

    Erm... Call me crazy, but I think the story says that the floods DID destroy all life - except those animals on the ark, of course. Whether or not the story of Noah and the Ark on the whole agrees with science may be arguable, but your comment suggests that you've only researched one side. Any scholar of the Torah will tell you the Ark is a metaphor for something else. As to what, I've never been able to find (or get) an answer that wasn't from some crackpot wearing a tin-foil hat.

    And don't eat the brown, funny-smelling berries you find on the ground...

  3. Re:Advantages on Newton's Ghost Haunts Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    It's about the same price as a Mac mini, except you can take it with you and you don't have to buy the KVM peripherals. I'm sold. Once I'm playing WoW on my iPhone, I'll laugh at those who think the iPhone is silly!

    oh wait.

  4. Re:Iranian HIV prevention: better than cure ? on Iran Launches Payload into Space · · Score: 1

    • Even if they did try, there are enough Americans pissed off about the current war that there would be massive protests; bigger than the anti-Vietnam protests of the 60s; the kind that could "hurry-up" an impeachment proceeding. When you have most republicans running fast from the Iraq war and the President, a move to spread that war to Iran would make the prospect of President Pelosi seem like a blessing.
    Wow. I'm a liberal and that scares the piss out of me!

    Poor Godwin. He just can't be wrong, can he?

  6. Re:really? on Google Apps Premier Edition Launches, Widely Used · · Score: 1

    Especially considering I've been a part of the beta for this suite for over a year, now. This was the public release from Beta, nay-sayers, not the first time it's ever been seen. Just because /. did not cover it does not mean that it did not happen.

  7. White Wolf Merger on Ask CCP About EVE Online · · Score: 1

    First, hello, I'm a fan of your work in stackless, and have spoken with CCP about employment opportunities in the past.

    Anyways, on to the questions:

    Recently, it was announced on the CCP Games site that you were merging with White Wolf. Does this mean we'll finally see a World of Darkness Online? Also, is CCP going to be re-collecting the old White Wolf rights out there, such as the once-highly-anticipated Werewolf PC game that was never released when the rights holder went under?

    Not to mention it increases the truthiness of your statement.

  9. Re:USE=brain on Cosmic Rays and Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Whenever I try that USE flag, emerge complains. Is there another USE flag I can use?

  13. Re:The next one should be in Boston on Numbers Stations Move From Shortwave To VoIP · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that finds it more disturbing that the number goes to the Boston Fed Reserve than hoax-like?

    No one's broken the code, if it is one, and no one knows WHOSE code it is.

  14. Re:The next one should be in Boston on Numbers Stations Move From Shortwave To VoIP · · Score: 1

    Some have said this one may be a copycat/someone being silly.

    This actually scares me.

  15. Re:Republican == NRA on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    If 10,000,000 people rose up to fight, we'd have the start of a new government - either separate from the US, or in DC.

    This is assuming, of course, that those 10,000,000 represent the feelings of about 10 people each.

  16. Possible, but unlikely... on Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq? · · Score: 1

    The Marine Corps rarely forcibly prohibits anything - they submit orders to not to do certain things or go certain places (Tiajuana, for example). If they're filtering, it's likely because an order has been issued some time, some where.

    I have my doubts, however, that this is going on to the extent Wonkette claims.

  17. Re:"municipal" on Google Partners with Earthlink in Municipal Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    The sad part is, I normally correct others on their spelling of such words.

  21. Re:Lunar Snowmobiles? on NASA's More Obscure Lunar Research · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't you know Moonbase Alpha's been in operation for decades? We put it there to defend ourselves against the cosmo-terrorists that we all know are after our oil.

  22. Re:Can it live up to the fans' expectations? on Stargate MMO Announced · · Score: 1

    I'd strongly suspect that those will be playable in future versions, just as races have been added to other MMORPG's in the past.

    I'd rather see the game come out sooner, and stable than gigantic and 6 years from now.

  23. What about Closed-Source software? on LA Attorney Sues Rockstar Over Hot Coffee · · Score: 1

    Does this mean we can sue Microsoft for not disclosing all of their security holes?

    Does this also mean all software (in turn) should be open-sourced?

    This is ridiculous.
