  1. I thought Bender consumed alchohol, not made it. on Beer Brewing Bender Completed · · Score: 4, Funny

    If Bender in the show was equipped with a brew station in his torso... That'd be a perpetual motion machine I wouldn't want to witness.

    Fry,"Whatcha doin Bender?" Bender,"Drinkin my own fluids."

  2. Evolution happens and God is real, Jesus is Lord on Science Text Attempts to Reconcile Religion and Science · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was reamed out last evolution post here on Slashdot because I thought speciation needed to happen for evolution to work. Now that I know that natural selection is even considered as one form of evolution, I'm down with the idea of evolution. I'm not even arguing against speciation. Evolution has a large number of concepts though and it infers a Big Bang and a Spark of Life for it to work. While you won't get me biting on those two tickets, I know evolution is solid science. I think a lot of Creationists would bite on evolution if the spark of life wasn't part of the equation. I mean Creationism says how it all started, and evolution says how everything is changing since it began. Just looking at it that way it makes sense. While I can't tell you how old the world is, I can rest assuredly say that evolution works in this post fall of man world.

  3. The Hardcore vs Softcore arguement on Games Industry Things We Should Leave Behind in '07 · · Score: 2

    I don't like people saying that people shouldn't get deep into the game as a hardcore player. I like the philosophy on board games: Minutes to learn, a lifetime to master.

  4. Conspiracy theory on US Government To Release Electronic Passport · · Score: 1

    Maybe the government knows these things will be such a pain that no one will want one. Then they'll declare a draft, and no one can escape the country.

  5. Crystal Space ROCKS! on Apricot Team Selected For Fully Open Source 3D Game · · Score: 1

    Not only is the library good, but the support team is excellent. I would have never got as far as I did in my game without them. It is almost a shame that I gave up on my game. CS is just awesome.

  6. Doyouhavestairsinyourhouse on REEM-B, New Humanoid Robot Announced · · Score: 1

    This is an aptly named tag. One thing that I think free roaming robots will do initially will be to operate in a controlled environment like a warehouse. Instead of just making a robot to do everything from go to the grocery store to fetching you a beer, robots need to start more specialized. You don't just design the robot, you design the environment that it will be operating in.

  7. Me too on Faster Chips Are Leaving Programmers in Their Dust · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what it sounds like. Parallel processors are good for some things, but just an excuse for selling more processors for most.

  8. In the future, Duke is out. on Microsoft and Google Duke It Out For the Future · · Score: 0

    Does vaporware run on a cloud?

  9. O rly. Humans are evolving? on Recent Human Evolution May Have Been Driven By Self-Selection · · Score: 0, Troll

    How many new species are there now?

  10. Snake head eating the snake from the opposite side on Boeing 12,000lb Chemical Laser Set to Fry Targets · · Score: 2, Funny

    Electronics Frys Fry's Electronics.

  11. Well I have a thing or two to say about that on ISP Inserting Content Into Users' Webpages · · Score: 4, Funny

    As much as I don't like Canada, the totally awesome Rogers ISP is not doing something wrong here. Thats all I have to say. PS, buy a Playstation 3 at 20% off by mentioning the code ROGERS ISP ROCKS at your local S-mart

  12. So easy a drug dealer could do it. on US Military 'Hacked' by Emails · · Score: 1

    Lets hope it doesn't get so easy that cavemen can build nukes, or we'll never recover from WW3.

  13. Four BlackBelts on Final Fantasy Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I think its one of the quickest wins, especially since you don't need to bother with equipment other than selling for potions.

  14. Re:The most atrocious program ever. on Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years · · Score: 1

    Yah, you need two random arguments to poke. And what does it do? It does something different every time you run it.

  15. The most atrocious program ever. on Commodore 64 Still Beloved After All These Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Pseudo Code:
    10 Randomize timer
    20 x=Random Number
    20 Poke x
    30 Print x
    40 Goto 20

    You can't do this on today's machines or your hard drive may fail and your OS not boot up. With a C64, its the equivalent of giving your computer drugs and watching it trip. Once I had the screen in 4 sections with some scrolling up and some scrolling down.

  16. I don't care about game reviews. on The Contempt of Publishers for Game Reviewers · · Score: 1

    I want to know what the AAA titles are this year.

  17. 662 strikes against OOXML? on OOXML's 662 Resolutions · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought 640 K would be enough for anyone.

    As long as I can play an alligator or scorpion, I'll play.

  21. Another problem with being a game reviewer on Adverjournalism - The Role of Ad Dollars in Media · · Score: 4, Insightful

    After a while of playing clone after clone after clone, you somehow get sick of games in general unless they're groundbreaking. Clones sell though because there will always be people new to playing video game, while you... the game reviewer become sick of the same ol same ol. Yes, payola is bad. But if you were an honest game reviewer, you could easily lapse into,"Man, this game is just like Un Squadron, which is just a better version of Gradius, which is just a better version of River Raid." And if I was a serious game reviewer, I'd probably write a tree of games, just so I could place any new game down on a new node, but inheriting the properties of the parent games. At least that's just my first thought. What does it take to be a real game reviewer if your goal isn't to get paid?

  22. Who needs tanks anymore? on Carnegie Mellon Gets $14.4M to Build Robo-Tank · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe that is what they're out to prove, but I see two major combat redundancies here, and I'm not even searching hard. And before I typed them out, I answered myself. I'll post this though because I think it will be interesting. A) If you can get a laser reading on anything with GPS, you can annihilate it via any number of GPS integrated missiles, and I'm sure the autonomous flying vehicle can do an air strike on the point too. So why not lower the lethality of the tank, and just use it more as a scout vehicle that can send valuable visual information as well as paint a target with GPS. B) You don't need much armor on the tank except to protect its engine/treads/ammunition and sensors. This thing's primary goal isn't going to be protecting lifeforms inside even though the first tank will probably be a lot like a conventional tank... For two reasons: Its easy to start with, and having a big ass tank in your lab is unfortunately worth cool points. PS: I was on the team for the first red team racing car, but all they had me do was plot some GPS points. PSS: I thought the robotic vehicle was 5-20 years in the future, not 1. LOL. PSSS: I think the ultimate combat vehicle for modern warfare that I could imagine would be a satellite up link spy tank. It could drop surveillance pods at convenient places to monitor if enemies are moving there. It would also have a few anti bomb robots it could deploy to take out things like IEDs, and to advance on the opponent where you wouldn't want to risk the whole tank. Of course, I don't think this vehicle ever should be autonomous except for uploading video and sensor information. Lets take it one step at a time, and have people safely piloting these things from a distance before jumping into the land of ED209.

  23. Here's the easy reason why on Number of Cellphones Now Equal To Half the Human Species · · Score: 1

    I think the number of cell phones is so great because people own several cell phones over their life. I know I've had like 3, and most people trade their cell in every 2 years unlike me.

  24. Do you know that you trained people? on Ask MST3k Creator Joel Hodgson · · Score: 1

    When my friends and I watched your shows, we learned how to be comical critics and make fun of shows that we watched. Entertainment never had to be grade A when my friends were around because we'd lampoon the show if it got boring or worse. This type of freestyle joking at movies is great for kids with a sharp sense of humor. I was wondering if you ever thought of the impact you have on people's method of watching shows?
