  1. Switch to LED lights! on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 0

    LED lights cost next to nothing to leave on. Make the switch now!

    (Unless that eerie blue glow bugs you) :P

  2. Slowly rising on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 0

    Apple has been slowly recovering much of it's market, as well as expanding in areas it previously had no experience in, and dominating them on top of that.

  3. I wonder... on Ripeness Sticker Coming to Supermarket Fruit · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder how long it will take before some kid sticks one to his forehead to try to see if he's "ripe" or not. :P

  4. What if you're BOTH?! on Games Seized Following Murder · · Score: 0

    But what if you're both a hitman and a videogamer? Oh my! PANDORA'S BOX!!!

  5. Xbox360, PS3 & Wii on Wii Graphics 'Better Than At E3' · · Score: 0

    The 360 has a lot of potential, that is still untapped. My only complaint is that the damn thing gets too hot. The PS3 has tried to fool E3-goers more than once, by showing a pre-rendered movie, trying to pass it off as actual gameplay footage. The Wii is promising gameplay as it's main attraction, not image quality or raw processing power. This will come down to the input device (controller), and how the games are developed themselves. The internal hardware will play a small part when compared to the 360 and PS3.

    I'm really interested to see how the Wii finally turns out.

  6. The truth about Chernobyl & TMI on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 0

    Chernobyl was a disaster because the Russian government built it, with little regard to human safety. So in order to cut costs, they decided not to build contamination tanks, therefore when the reactor had a meltdown, it leaked into the atsmophere.

    Three Mile Island never had a leak. This is because it was built by America, and they built contamination tanks. There was a meltdown within the plant itself, but it never breached walls, it simply went into the contamination tanks. Therefore making the "nuclear power is a disaster waiting to happen" propaganda totally blown out of proportion. No nuclear plant that had built-in contamination tanks has ever had a disaster like Chernobyl did. Ever.

    Some good reading here.

    As far as radioactive storage, I agree with the concerns over that, as there are no ways of safely destroying it, and storing it always adds risk. However, the current push for nuclear fusion will eliminate that worry, along with the concern of radioactivity altogether.

  7. And what happens to outsiders? on Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal · · Score: 0

    And if the ofender lives outside the U.S.?

    Oh, that's right, the law only punishes it's own citizens. Not everyone else in the world that does it.

  8. Fusion power for the masses, please on N.Y. Governor Pushing for Alternate Fuels · · Score: 0

    Everyone keeps forgetting about nuclear fusion, for some reason.

  9. That's it on President of RIAA Says Sony-BMG Did Nothing Wrong · · Score: 0

    Can someone please throw a bomb through this guy's window? We don't need people like him wasting precious air and living space on this planet.

  10. In the name of... on Jack Thompson vs Amazon? · · Score: 0

    Would someone please throw a fucking bomb through this guys window?

  11. It's never YOUR fault, is it? on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 0

    Oh of course not. It's never the parents fault for neglecting their kid, then acting dumbfounded when they submerse themselves in an alternate reality to get away from the crappy life you've given them.

    Ok, to be fair, there's actually 2 possible reasons why the kid did what he did.

    1: You're bad parents
    2: Your kid (was) a moron.

    Christ almighty, I'm getting sick of these lawsuits.

  12. Stunning on DVD Jon's Code In Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 0

    I can't believe how much Sony dropped the ball on this one.

  13. In the future... on Xbox 360 Hardware Disassembled and Analyzed · · Score: 0

    The Xbox 1080 will feature a robust GPU capable of pumping out 6 petabyes per second, and will require roughly three and half fusion reactors to power it.

  14. Ignore this comment! on US Keeps Control of the Internet · · Score: 0

    *adjusts the tin foil hat*

    ;)

  15. I wonder on Canada Unveils Internet Surveillance Legislation · · Score: 0

    Why is it every time there's a ruling like this for America, Canadians go nuts and make fun of us for having a fascist government? Where are all the America bashers now?

  16. Re:Another reason on UK To Passively Monitor Every Vehicle · · Score: 0

    Don't assume that one extreme is better then the other.

  17. Oh Jebus on New Lemur Species Named After John Cleese · · Score: 0

    How dare you remind me of the funniest skit known to mankind! Now I have an urge to pop in my Flying Circus DVDs.

  18. Re:Ah, geothermal on Australia Pushes Geothermal Energy · · Score: 0

    And it doesn't put out some wussy windmill sized power, we're talking 2000 Megawatts -- that's nuclear plant territory, if I understand correctly. Indeed it seems so, at least according to this page.

  19. Venus, anyone? on Australia Pushes Geothermal Energy · · Score: 0

    I would think that Venus would a more viable planet to use Geothermal power on, if any.

  20. Re:Game Reviews on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 0
