  1. Re:Typical /. response is... on Email Addiction Runs Rampant · · Score: 1
    Duh! I swear, some people need to get their priorities straight.

    I found it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex

  2. Re:Finally on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1
    It's notable that "Ewok" is also never mentioned in the movies.

    That is to say, the real movies, not the Ewok movies, the memory of which I think I'd successfully repressed until this very moment.

    Damn you, Lucasfilm marketing machine.

  3. Re:Soulless on Download Your Brain · · Score: 1
    The solution is simple. Each augmentation obviously has a Humanity cost, which can range anything from 0 for a simple replacement hand to 4d6 for a cybersnake. The seat of the soul will thus depend on the last replacement initiated to deplete Empathy based on loss of Humanity, which is equal to starting Empathy X 10. The Humanity cost for each replacement is subracted from Humanity, and each 10 point loss of Humanity = a 1 point loss of Empathy. When Empathy drops to 3 or lower you start to suffer from cyberpsychosis and lose your soul. At that time we can identify the exact location of the soul and settle all of this religious debate.

    With my luck, it'll be a kidney.

  4. Screw identity theft... on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...do the police intend to track down the information to and "reclaim" it from the collection agencies, advertisers, etc.?

  5. PointCast was right. on Cybernetic System to Allow Physical Interaction · · Score: 1

    "Push" technology is the way of the future.

  7. Re:one can hope on Revenge of the Sith Officially Rated PG-13 · · Score: 1
    Jedi had a boobie shot, and it was rated PG.

    Granted, it was a green boobie. But she was chained up, too!

  8. Re:The real world just got a whole lot scarier on Microsoft Collaborates On Child Porn Buster · · Score: 1
    What we need is the anti-24. A show with a hero who is interested in building up our rights rather than finding ways of tearing it down.

    Call Jack McCoy. Rights preserved.

    In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.

  9. Resale? on Microsoft Offers New Data-Security Scheme · · Score: 2, Funny
    Perhaps Microsoft should include an option, like 'Prepare this computer for resale,' which utterly destroys all data."

    Or, as we like to call it, 'Prepare this computer for confiscation.'

  10. Three words: on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 1

    ARRRRRGH PIGGY SLAUGHTER.

  11. Re:I don't know what's sadder... on Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films · · Score: 1

    I have spent the past two months attempting to draw a direct cause and effect relationship between the current Christian-dominant government and the sudden popularity of pink and/or purple polo shirts for men. The evidence is overwhelming.

  12. Re:hahah what now? on Views on Violence in Video Games · · Score: 1
    Several authoritative studies that I don't need to reference for you laymen provide valid statistical evidence that children took firearms to school for 200 years without committing murder.*

    * Study does not account for random variables, such as the inaccuracy of flintlock rifles, or slow rate of fire for muzzle-loading weapons, during which students and faculty would have pummeled the prototypically violent teenager limper than a sack of oats.

  13. Re:This seems silly on Free Wi-Fi Threatened? · · Score: 1

    Not really. That evil Ralph Nader made me pay for all these seat belts and airbags.

  14. Re:let me get this straight... on MMOG Currency Seller Owns Media Network ? · · Score: 1

    Try to get this one straight:
    If his activities are legal, not against the TOS...
    ...and they're ethical, not against the spirit of the game...
    ...then why is he trying to hide them?

  15. Re:Rubbish! on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, Google Maps correctly marks streets as detouring around the destroyed central area of Pittsburgh, so it isn't all bad.

  16. Re:spectacular UI... and up-to-date on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    That's nothing. Google Maps shows a residential subdivision near my workplace that doesn't exist yet.

  18. Re: Design a better AI? on DARPA Contracts For AI Technology · · Score: 1

    Watch the skies.

    Or more specifically, the clouds.

    Plus, someone's discovered the same thing by examining the image metadata timestamps.

  23. Re:My view on A Strange Streak Imaged in Australia · · Score: 1

    Except that the sequence of photos is reversed. I'd put on my tinfoil hat, but I left it in my other coat.

  25. Re:Prior Art on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    While some breeds of cats have been promoted as having less allergen than others, scientists that have tested this hypothesis have shown that all cats, regardless of breed, produce allergen. Allerca will produce the first cats that will not affect human allergies.

    Actually, yeah. I shouldn't have said no dander...but if they won't trigger allergies at all, why not market them as nonallergenic?
