  1. Re:Suggested Titles on New "Terminator" Trilogy Planned · · Score: 1

    Terminator V: Rust on the Machines

  2. John and Terminator's Excellent Adventure on New "Terminator" Trilogy Planned · · Score: 1

    John Connor and the Terminator are two hard rock-obsessed teenagers in San Dimas, California who are in danger of flunking out of high school. This situation is particularly "heinous" because Micheal J Fox is threatening to ship them to the Alaskan Military Academy (run by the psychotic Biff) if they flunk. Miraculously, a guitar-playing guru named The Doc arrives from Hill Valley of the future to help them pass a vital history report, because their garage band ("Wyld Stallyns") holds the key to world peace and ultimate truth. However, they will not achieve this destiny if they flunk out and The Terminator is shipped to Alaska. The Doc lends them a time machine disguised as a Delorean to help them get an A+ on their oral report. Various time traveling shenanigans ensue, as they proceed to "collect" various historical figures, including Napoleon Bonaparte (described early in the film by John as "a short, dead dude"), Socrates (mistakenly pronounced "so crates"), Billy the Kid ("Mr. The Kid"), Sigmund Freud (Dennis Frood), Beethoven ("Beeth-oven"), Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln to help them with their final history presentation.

  3. Re:Corporations are people, that's the problem... on Verizon Claims Free Speech Over NSA Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    As we all know, viscous rumours lead to sticky situations!

  4. Re:I applied there on Google's Evil NDA · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed that you spent your last dying breath typing "*BANG*". Since you must be reading this from beyond the grave, say 'hi' to Groucho for me.

  5. Re:I'm not surprised really, on Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website · · Score: 1

    All generalisations are incorrect, especially this one!

  6. Re:Laptop only music act = boring on The Laptop as an Instrument? · · Score: 1

    The laptop can make an interesting percussion instrument, but unfortunately not for very long...

  7. The true definition of censer on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 1
  8. Re:What about the brain though. on Treating the Dead · · Score: 2, Informative

    The article mentions putting the patient on a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the brain and other organs alive until the heart is ready for action once more.

  9. Re:Oops - my bad on How Google Earth Images Are Made · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is just me but if something looked fishy (and for me someone putting a camera on a kite is more geek than pervert) I would just have asked him what he was doing.
    I'd rather let the police do it. If the guy turns out to be some sort of nutjob then I'd rather that he pulled a knife on a police officer than me! Plus, if the guy's intentions are bad, it would hopefully scare him a little to have some cops turn up...with some luck he would be more hesitant in future to do something really bad for fear of getting caught.
  10. A simpler solution is just as good on Buildings Could Save Energy By Spying On Workers · · Score: 1

    I used to work for an Australian government department, and the lights and air conditioning of the building that I worked in would go off automatically if no motion was detected for a certain period of time. It was amusing when I was working late because I would have to periodically get up and wave my arms around to reactivate everything.
     
      The question is, do you really need anything more complex than that? Implementing an "intelligent" system would be expensive and I can't see how the added benefit will outweigh the cost when a much simpler system would also be effective.

  11. Re:The Internet on A Succinct Definition of the Internet? · · Score: 1

    The internet is mostly just electricity and radiation.

  12. Where does carbon come from? on First Successful Demonstration of CO2 Capture Technology · · Score: 1

    Where does carbon come from? Imagine that millions of years ago there was quantity X of carbon in the "carbon system". Since that time, quantity Y of carbon has been sequestered in the form of fossil fuels etc. 300 years ago there was quantity Z of carbon in the carbon system.

    So does X+Y=Z? If so, then all of the carbon we are unsequestering is simply bringing the atmospheric levels back to what they were millions of years ago. Or is there a larger super-system of carbon, in which the carbon is naturally laid down in the form of oil and coal and stuff, but more carbon is introduced from some other source? I'm just a bit confused about how reintroducing all of that sequestered carbon could be considered so bad if millions of years ago the carbon was in the system and life was flourishing.

  13. First Post! on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: 5, Funny

    This comment is always the first post, as long as you are observing it. That's because by observing this comment you are not observing any previous comments, therefore they cease to exist!

  14. Re:How many friends??? on Human Blood May Contain A Cure For AIDS · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows condoms are a waste of time and for losers. If you want to cure yourself of HIV/AIDS use your common sense and rape a virgin.

  15. Re:Everyone knows... on Easy-to-Make Material Scratches Diamond · · Score: 1

    It's all a matter of perspective. To an astronomer, any element that is not hydrogen or helium is a metal.

  16. Re:IMPOSSIBLE! on Easy-to-Make Material Scratches Diamond · · Score: 1

    That's the funniest thing I've ever heard!

  17. Re:world has much to fear from american nationalis on WTO Again Sides With Antigua Over Online Gambling · · Score: 1

    world has much to fear from american nationalism
    and much to fear from arab tribalism
    and much to fear form chinese imperialism
    and much to fear from russian colonialism
    and much to fear from european patriotism
    and much to fear form indian chauvanism

    I propose a solution:
    • Kill all the Americans
    • Kill all the Arabians
    • Kill all the Chinese
    • Kill all the Russians
    • Kill all the Europeans and
    • Kill all the Indians

    Problem solved...the Aussies can teach the Pacific Islanders to play real football and we'll all live happily ever after.
  18. Re:Disambiguation on Gas-Powered Boots As Metaphor For Cold War · · Score: 1

    Actually it's "Queen's English" now, and will be until Lizzie shuffles off the mortal coil

  19. Re:Disambiguation on Gas-Powered Boots As Metaphor For Cold War · · Score: 1

    Correction: the world's most recent superpower. Don't assume that you are the last...

  20. Re:Wow on CPR Not as Effective as Chest Compressions Alone · · Score: 1

    It is my understanding that in some circumstances after being struck by lightning it is possible for a person to continue breathing after their heart has stopped. Not that it has much bearing on this discussion, because no amount of CPR or treatment is going to save them by then! It's kind of fascinating though.

  21. Re:They're going for the high score! on File Sharing — Harmful to Children and a Threat to National Security · · Score: 1

    They forgot to mention the terrible effects that file sharing is having on global warming and climate change!

  22. Re:Hmm. Hom. Hoom. on Viacom vs. YouTube - Whose Side Are You On? · · Score: 1

    It still doesn't mean he was taking sides....he took down Isengard because Isengard was trying to destroy his trees, not because Isengard was one of the baddies.

  23. Re:Everyone is missing a huge critical point. on Broadband Providers' Hidden Bandwidth Limits · · Score: 1

    I run bittorrent and I only have a 56k modem connection....it's not unreasonably slow....I can download a movie a week usually (naturally I only download public domain movies from archive.org :-P). The problem is that I keep running out of space on my 20gb hard drive.

  24. Re:Dating the first clothing on The Coevolution of Lice & Their Hosts · · Score: 1

    Maybe the lice are related to when we first wore clothing. Head lice can easily jump off your head onto other surfaces or people, but when one is wearing clothing, pubic lice cannot. So maybe once we started wearing clothing, the head lice could no longer do their little jumping trick anymore unless they were on your head, so they stopped living in the nether regions. That left no competition for pubic lice, who were happy to spread through sexual contact (perverts!)

  25. Re:Translation: on New Sub Dives To Crushing Depths · · Score: 1

    What people often don't realise is that Kelvin was a pig farmer. In fact, he had the largest pig farm that has ever existed in the history of mankind. Having become rich from his science career, he decided to donate all of that pork to poor people in Africa. When considering how to deliver the payload, he calculated that he could actually deliver the pork quicker and more efficiently by using a series of hot air balloons, with all the pigs strung out between them. So that's what he did. And what a site it was to see! Miles and miles of pigs floating through the sky. It was so long that it crossed 1/30 of the sky! All of Ireland came out to have a look, and for years to come all they could talk about were ......... the six degrees of Kelvin's bacon!
