    Wow. It's amazing how much of an asshole you are.

  3. Re:"subtle" parallels on Star Trek: Enterprise in Danger of Being Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Fortuantely, I think there are some Congressman and Senators who know this lesson and will try hard to kill another set of manned interplanetary expiditions

    FORTUNATELY? Are you serious? I didn't know that space exploration was about entertaining the public.

  4. Re:Carpal Tunnel on Gaming Support Glove Mystifies, Thrills · · Score: 1

    ...prevent teenagers from getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in their 20's.

    Those are some mighty old teenagers. :)

    ...hence the word 'contrast.'

  6. Re:ISP/mail provider virus scanning... on 'Bagle' Worm Heading For A Windows PC Near You · · Score: 1

    exactly!

    and what if I want to send a virus to a friend for, uh, purposes of analysis? what then?

  7. Re:No thanks... on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1

    Since when does cruise control have anything to do with brakes, or steering?

  8. Re:TROLL ALERT!! on Toyota Offers Automatic Parallel Parking Option · · Score: 1

    But a) it's not a troll,
    and b) it's funny.

    So shut the hell up, troll.

  9. Re:Hmm.. on Can P2P Filter Copyrighted Content? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "could develop into"? The cat and mouse have been going back and forth for years!

    Kazaa is just the current filesharing stepping stone. If you look back you'll see a great deal more stones sunk behind you. And if you look ahead there are a great deal more being built.

    Nothing can stop these new stones from bubbling to the surface. They cam destroy old stones, but We will build new ones. And the 'idiots' will just follow the path, as always.

  10. Re:Tom Peters is right! on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 1

    "female-hostile"??? that term just reeks of absurdity.

    psh. marketing.

  11. Re:Deeply Arrested Adolescence on The Star Wars Car · · Score: 1

    It's probably something like "fuck you, mundanes!"

  12. Re:Indeed! on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    But Mars is much bigger than the moon, which doesn't even have an atmosphere!

  13. Re:Emotional Horror on One-Way Ticket to Mars? · · Score: 1

    I can hear it now. Mothers sobbing, "The Martians took my son!" Leaders vowing revenge against Mars for such an atrocity. And decades of brutal war against the evil Martian threat.

    We might want to avoid such a scenario.

  14. Re:So when they get broken... on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 1

    Plus, you'll have to clean up all that messy liquid crystal!

  15. what an amazing idea on Windows that Double as LCD Monitors · · Score: 1

    They accomplish it by placing a LCD Screen over the window and embed the speakers in the frame.

    Wow, now that's innovation.

    Next.

  16. Re:Quality hardware? on Fixing the Dreaded iBook Backlight? · · Score: -1, Troll

    They were the ones who were fooled. It's all about the marketing... you could put a happy face on shit and sell it to millions.

  17. Re:Windows XP was a complete rewrite? on Rewrites Considered Harmful? · · Score: 1

    Windows NT was as close to a complete rewrite (of Windows 3.1)...

    Really? I didn't think there was much to rewrite. ;)

  18. Re:Careful, "electromagnetic radiation" is dangero on Chinese MagLev Train Opens Next Week · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone who actually knows what they're talking about seriously believes that power lines cause cancer. The mechanism just isn't there.

    But my point is... it's a meaningless beauty contest to seek to reduce electromagnetic emissions like this, especially for wildlife.

  19. disappointment on Universal Goo · · Score: 1

    What... no pictures?

  20. Re:Yeah, but.... on Scientists Invent Scientist · · Score: 1

    Impossible. Creationism isn't science.

  21. Re:Careful, "electromagnetic radiation" is dangero on Chinese MagLev Train Opens Next Week · · Score: 1

    Same with x-rays and higher-energy radiation.

    but we're talking about electromagnetic fields here, not a superconcentrated barrage of particles.

    Do power lines cause cancer?

  22. Re:Wrong topic methinks.. on Wireless Street Lamps for Traffic Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Great for when it gets stolen!

  23. Careful, "electromagnetic radiation" is dangerous! on Chinese MagLev Train Opens Next Week · · Score: 1

    From the article: ...plans for a maglev line between Hamburg and Berlin were derailed by the Green Party. As part of Gerhard Schroder's ruling coalition, it argued that the proposed line would damage wildlife with electromagnetic radiation...

    Oh no, the big scary magnets will hurt the poor little squirrels!

    Seriously, are these people completely dumb? Those two sentences just made my stomach churn. Maybe they didn't realize that light is also 'electromagnetic radiation'... though calling it radiation automatically associates it with nuclear radiation which, of course, is evil.

    But wait... aren't magnets supposed to help speed healing? Maybe they're condemning the animals to their own deaths!

    God.
