  1. Pun on Monkeys and Humans Learn the Same Way · · Score: 1

    "In the study, two rhesus macaque monkeys learned to put up to 18 photos on an ATM-like touch screen in a row." Primates using an ATM? That's monkey business!

  2. 1 Year is a very reasonable sentence on A Year In Prison For a 20-Second Film Clip? · · Score: 1

    Think of all the people the brother will show the 20 second clip to!

    They won't go see the movie, so the studio will lose somewhere in the BILLIONS of dollars!

    The damage here is immense and irreversible.

  3. Welcome to 1997 on Kids Say Email is Dead · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm 18. This is old news. My friends only used email back when it was a novelty to us. Then we moved to AIM, and now of course, text messages and facebook. We stopped using email for basic communication about 10 years ago.

  4. Well on Server Power Consumption Doubled Over Past 5 years · · Score: 1

    That's right, I'm a movie pirate! And I like movies rated ARRRRRRR!!!

    I find this shocking.

  8. Well on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 5, Funny

    A history of Pornography would be very informative.

  9. No Way! on Study Shows Good With Math Means Bad With People · · Score: 1

    This doesn't add up! I hate to go off on a tangent, but I think I could draw some interesting parallels. Things will come full circle! /No wonder we suck with people.

  10. It's Great! on Kids with Cell Phones, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Five year olds NEED cell phones, guys. Duh. How else are they going to handle buisness calls and stay in touch with family and friends when they go out on their own?

  11. FINALLY on 'SLI On A Stick' Reviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    *Throws away 4 7900 GTXs running in SLI*

    If I upgrade, I might be able to go from 200 frames per second in Doom III to.... 205 frames per second!

    I can't wait to get rid of my old setup! It was a piece of shit!

  12. Not the case for me! on ISPs Offer Faster Speeds, Why Don't We Get Them? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Jesus Christ! Call Whine 11 or something!

    ...Anyway, I have 8 MB Comcast and I am very pleased. I just used http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php to measure my connection speed and here is the result:

    My download speed really is that fast if I am downloading from a good webserver. And even when I'm not, the bandwidth gets used in bittorrent :)

    Sorry you are having problems....

  15. unfortunately on Leaving Early May Cost You Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    Unfortunately, he did not take into account the time it took to do this analysis, and now he has even less free time.

  16. silly on Golf's Digital Divide · · Score: 2, Insightful

    $50,000 simulators to play golf are no more necessary than a $100,000 swiss watch is necessary to tell the time.

  17. Re:What a waste of money on Triple Boot on MacBooks Working · · Score: 1

    Well, you have to ask yourself if it really improves things. I'd say it complicates things a whole lot more.

    "Hey, where's that document I just wrote?"

    "Oh, I made that in windows, I'll have to reboot"

  18. What a waste of money on Triple Boot on MacBooks Working · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not going to buy a macbook until it can run all the major OSes and emulate Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3. And it had to have a cell phone built in, as well as an iPod.

    And it has to have an awesome case mod too. Because products are never good the way they are released, we always have to mess with them!

    yeah, and I read playboy for the articles.

  22. 32 dollars on AMD Releases Dual-Core FX-60 Processor · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It may be a whopping $32 dollars more expensive, but that's better than replacing your motherboard and memory which would be necessary to switch from intel to AMD or vice versa.

    It isn't always a matter of, "this is the slightly better processor," unless you're building a new system.

  23. Re:sigh.... on Water Cooling an Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Hello there, although you may think I'm a clown :( I am not a complete n00b to the mod scene, I had a modded Xbox with a 120 GB hard drive (still not banned from xbox live believe it or not) loaded with movies, games, emulators....

    I also build computers for fun and to take pride in a nice setup. However, I get USE out of everything I buy. I think an xbox 360 is worth $400, I think a kick ass computer is worth $2000, but I most certainly would not break open my xbox 360, void my warrenty, and have this huge ugly ass radiator next to my xbox just to make it a bit cooler (which in my case is no added benefit). Interesting, yes, but not something I would spend money on.

  24. Re:sigh.... on Water Cooling an Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    I did read it. And it still seems stupid. My Xbox works, and if yours doesn't, return it. Don't break it open and put a new cooling system in it.

  25. sigh.... on Water Cooling an Xbox 360 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why do modders always go compete ape shit over stupid stuff like this? I have an Xbox 360 and it works. It just works. No it doesn't have water cooling. I also did case mod it, and it still works! Yes, some people have had problems. Just don't put the power supply in a bad place and you'll be fine. Water cooling for PC's may make sense because there are different types of PC's. Right now an Xbox 360 is just a 360, and if you follow instructions and have a bit of common sense, you'll be fine. It either plays the game or it doesn't. A water cooling system isn't just unecessary, it's stupid.
