  2. HUrray! on New Advances Bring Fusion Closer to Reality · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean I'll finally be getting a Mr. Fusion to put on my Delorean?

  3. Re:The what? on Chicken Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    Just think of the dinner conversation you could start by telling everyone that you're a member of the International Chicken Genome Sequencing Consortium!

  4. Two words... on Babylon 5 Movie Starts Filming in April · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah.

  5. time to cash in on Given Up to Spyware? · · Score: 1

    With news like this, I think it's time to start marketing adware that WON'T slow their computers down. Just sell it in a package that says Adware 2.0: New Features - more stable, 2412% faster, gets past firewalls, more pop-ups, more porn!

  6. Re:Weight Sensors on Self-Adapting Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    I believe if you pull up over one of the sensors on a bike and lean it at a bout a 30 degree angle with ground it will set of the sensor. I'd imagine it has something to do with more metal being close to the sensor.

  7. Re:I read 20 years ago... on New Treatment Helps Cure Spinal Injuries · · Score: 1

    And just add a little to a cola and you've got a mind numbingly good drink!

  8. I don't understand on Infineon Execs Plead Guilty to Price-Fixing · · Score: 1

    RAM is cheap... What are the ill effects of price fixing that these guys are so terrible for? I'm not being a troll, I just don't understand. I thought people were free to set their own prices for their goods?

  9. We already have this! on Initiative for Autonomic Computing Gains Strength · · Score: 1

    We already have self-repairing computers. Haven't you ever used to Windows Troubleshooter?!

  10. Re:It doens't matter on Initiative for Autonomic Computing Gains Strength · · Score: 1

    It's how it "fixes" those "user" errors that has me worried.

  11. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    Well, I wasn't sure. THanks for the correction.

  12. You can have my internet... on Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet · · Score: 1

  13. Re:Yeah, live to be 1000, but... on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    I RTFFTPTIS! (I Read the First F***ing Two Paragraphs Then I Stopped!)

  14. Re:See only the Bible for answers. on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    The oldest guy in the bible was Methusela (i think it's spelled like that) and he was like 900. Later on, God declared that man's years would be somewhere around 120. So even if it did happen once that people lived to be close to 1000, if you believe the Bible, you'll believe that it won't happen again.

  15. Yeah, live to be 1000, but... on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1

    he doesn't mention anything about remaining youthful. I don't think I'd want to be 1000, cuz after 50 years things get a little wrinkly, saggy, floppy, and don't work so well. At the very least, it wouldn't be very pleasing to the eye to see a bunch of 500 year old people walking around.

    Quote, "When 900 years old you reach, look as good, you will not."

  16. I know what his plan is! on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 2, Funny

    My mommy told me the secret....eat your veggies!

  17. It seems pretty simple... on PC Setup for Small House with Child? · · Score: 1

    If you're going to put the CPU in a cabinet, just put a hole in the top of the cabinet and route the monitor cable through it. Then put the back of the cabinet close to the wall so little hands cannot get behind it to the power cord. If you leave the back of the cabinet open, then you can just put it flush against the wall, and the power cable will be recessed inside the cabinet. Or if you're really feeling calvier, then you can build a cabinet into the wall with an outlet in it...just put some vents for air flow.

  18. You think it was DDoS, but... on BitTorrent Servers Under DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    The parent mentioned that a lot of hits were coming from Asia...

    Only one thing could cause this much traffic...China lifted the ban on pron.

  19. I play it on yahoo on Best Go Resources for a Beginner? · · Score: 1

    A good way to learn to play, and gain some skill is to sign up for Yahoo! games. You cna play their online version with people of varying skill levels, and Yahoo!'s explanation of the rules is pretty good.

  20. Re:He dosn't get it. on Associated Press Not Impressed By MyFi · · Score: 1

    I don't know people tout this as a rival to the iPod. Like the parent said, they're two different devices. Plus, my first reaction upon seeing an image of the xm device was "woah, too many buttons", compared to my reaction to seeing hte ipod, "woah, there's like one button!"

  21. It's very simple on China Blocking Access to Google News Site · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When Google wants to operate in the US, it abides by US law. When Google wants to operate in China, it abides by Chinese law. And right now, Chinese law says no polical web content. Who are we to criticize how they live? I know plenty of people who have gone over there and they say that the people of China appear to be rather contect with their situation.

  22. I don't see the big deal. on Feds Propose National Database of College Students · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Privacy is going the way of the buffalo. Whatever college you are attending already has all that info, as well as any scholarships you applied for. The Feds also have the info if you used to FAFSA to apply for financial aid. All that info is also on your taxes, social security, credit info, loans, (for us guys) Selective Service cards, voter registration, driver's license, passports, visas, etc etc. I don't see one more database as a big deal. You're already being tracked. Time to get tin foil pajamas.

    what won't I do for a little side money?

  25. Put on the space elevator... on Scientists Debate Robotic Hubble Mission · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What they ought to do is put the money towards designing a space elevator. They could stick a telescope...or somehow get the hubble...onto the mass that would hold the carbon fiber ribbon taunt. Then they could just climb up and down the elevator to make repairs. This would be cheaper (per trip...not as a whole project), and a heck of a lot more innovative than making robots to fix Hubble.
