  1. It would have been more interesting if reworded on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    How can't the human race last the next 100 years?

  2. Whatever you do, don't swing a sword at them on The Physics of Superman · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've heard rumors to the effect that if you attack them with a sword repeatedly, it will send a call out to dozens of other superchickens which will all attack you until you flee indoors or scroll to the next area.

  3. Re:Oh! Can I Please Be the First?!? on eBay Bans Google Payments · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And don't forget:

    1) Ebay isn't an auction site.
    and
    2) Paypal isn't a bank.

    This gets them around a lot of nasty local and national laws involving auctions and banks.

  4. Does it literally kill ipods? on Microsoft To Release 'iPod Killer' at Christmas? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Can I point it at someone dancing around like an idiot in public, and it explodes their ipod? I'll take two for dual wield.

  5. to your local store with a laptop for massive fun on Barcodepedia - a Social Network Barcode DB · · Score: 5, Funny

    Excuse me while I go back to sleep.

  6. Re:Obligatory clippy quote on Microsoft to Supply Electronics to Formula 1 · · Score: 1

    I see you paid Microsoft a large sum of money. Would you like me to A: Governor the other cars engines down. B: Increase the speed of your car. C: Pay Microsoft even more money. I see you have chosen C. Now would you like me to: A: Cause a massive pileup in turn 2 B: Have the lead car to lose its brakes C: Pay Microsoft even more money. I see you have chosen C. I see your life may be spared this day. Would you like me to finish driving the course for you?

  7. Re:Unfair bashing on Microsoft to Supply Electronics to Formula 1 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hadn't thought about driver until you said something. Now all I think about is how Microsoft made the driver crash through the blue screen of death.

  8. What about making a secure OS? on Multi-Layer Security Platforms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When you install software, it tells you its installing, and goes into the installed directory so you can browse every piece of software installed on your computer... Instead of letting software designers put their software everywhere they feel like hiding it on your harddrive and registry. Yes I'm looking in your direction windows. Power to the user, less abusive power to the developer.

  9. Its Professor X! on Patient Revives After 19 Years By Rewiring Brain · · Score: 1

    Don't be fooled by brain rewiring. The man born without a conscious actually got one after a battle with the Phoenix. Everyone should know this after watching Xmen3 the whole way past the credits.

  10. Re:Skype isn't a security risk... on Skype Addresses Visibility Concerns · · Score: 4, Funny

    I could just imagine the security risk Skype has. For some reason, some virus writer hacked into my computer then used Skype to call everyone on my contact list and play back a digital recording for selling underground viagra, then it used the contact list to instant message everyone to download this killer new application that you have to try out.

  11. Its remarkably easy to scam people on Portrait of an Identity Thief · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The reason most people don't do it is because they're honest and want to help out the human race instead of being a drain on society.

  12. Re:Mainstream liquid cooling. on Liquid Cooled X1900 XTX Card Reviewed · · Score: 1

    You know, there is a market that Dell hasn't got yet, and its the gaming market. If you could make a cheap system that runs a mid range card, you could make a mint. Dell is selling their gaming rigs for $2000, and you can feasably make one for 400-500$ just using pricewatch.

  13. Re:What's Next? on 2006 Casual Games White Paper · · Score: 1

    What's next? The 2007 Casual Game's White Paper.

  14. Back in the day, what made arcade games work on Rebirth of the U.S. Arcade? · · Score: 1

    Arcade games were a step ahead of what you could get at home. Once home games equalled arcade games, arcades died. Its simple economics. Arcades could come back, but it'd require a game experience you can't get in home. Some mentioned VR, but even racing games are what are in arcades now, but they suck. It would require something revolutionary to bring back arcades, and the rise of the home gaming systems is so revolutionary, I can't see arcades beating it any time soon.

  15. There's only 1 way I'll buy a PS3 on Sony To Go From First To Worst? · · Score: 1

    If they can make some seriously fun MMO. Maybe something like Planetside, but with more depth. That price point is too high when I can just retro game all day long. I'm trying to beat Angband with an Ironman character of every class, that should keep me busy for a few years.

  16. Re:My #1 on The 50 Worst Videogame Names of All Time · · Score: 1

    Thank you. You solved a 21 year old mystery for me.

  17. Since when are Dinosaurs boring on Software to Divide an Image Into Discrete Patterns · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I was a kid, Dinosaurs were really cool.

  18. Re:Things that make you go "Hmm.." on Cell Users As Bad As Drunk Drivers · · Score: 1

    Drunk drivers on the cellphone who were also so tired they were almost falling asleep.

  19. My #1 on The 50 Worst Videogame Names of All Time · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Atari 2600: Name this Game. Like they couldn't figure out a name, so you're supposed to name it yourself. Or maybe it was a note from the programmers to the marketing team: Name this Game. So instead of naming it, they just used what the programmers penciled in.

  20. Thats a cursed shirt on Casual Gamers Not So Casual · · Score: 2, Funny

    It makes the user think they're getting +1 dexterity, but its actually +4 charisma to nerds and -4 charisma to women.

  21. Link didn't work on The Best Product Designs of 2006 · · Score: 1

    Its number 46

  22. Hydrogen fuel cells out finally? on The Best Product Designs of 2006 · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  23. Re:And here's where I keep assorted lengths of wir on Scientists Sort Semiconducting Nanotubes by Size · · Score: 1

    Thats exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for posting it for me. It saved me all that typing.

  24. I got the last edition of directx 9 SDK on The People Behind DirectX 10 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I got the best version of directx SDK that I'll need for a long while. I may even use it if I get motivated to code my 3d fighter.

  25. Taking a date to a horror film on Being Scared in Games is Needed · · Score: 1

    I was playing Resident Evil 2, and when all the crows busted through the glass, my date jumped into my lap and wrapped her arms around me in fear. It felt pretty nice.
