  1. Re:Most likely to be shut down by the government? on Community Choice Award "Most Likely to be Shut Down By Govt" · · Score: 1, Funny

    In Soviet Russia CowboyNeal shuts down the government!

  2. If I learned one thing from Star Trek TNG... on Have Mathematics Exams Become Easier? · · Score: 1

    It's that in the future all kids will be required to know advanced particle physics and warp field design by the time they graduate from high school. We shouldn't tolerate any sort of decline in classroom rigor. Quite the contrary. We should have legislation that requires that by the 9th grade any student can build a flying car capable of Warp 1 using only parts available from Radio Shack.

  3. Re:How Long? on Happy Birthday! X86 Turns 30 Years Old · · Score: 5, Funny

    I wouldn't do that, Dave...

  4. Yes, but.... on Inside the Tech of the Roku Netflix Player · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    can it run MythTV or playback my video collection?

    That little array of closely packed output options has this box screaming for a hack.

  5. Pitch bending on Guitar Hero -- World Tour Guitar Mystery Images · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I assume that the "slider bar" on the frets below the buttons is exactly that. Hold your finger down and slide it up and down to adjust the pitch. I envision a satisfying, StrongBad-esque "breeeeaaaaaaaaaoooooooooowrwrwr" happening as a result.

  6. Star Trek alert... on ET Will Phone Home Using Neutrinos, Not Photons · · Score: 1

    This sounds like subspace communication technology to me.

  7. Re:Slow News Day? on Mac Cloner Psystar Ships First Service Pack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    IANAL, but this sounds like the IBM vs. Clone lawsuits of the 80s where IBM wanted to be the only company to sell their IBM software on IBM hardware. They lost that battle, and if APple were to try to enforce their EULA they would lose that one as well. I think they aren't suing because 1) this isn't their market and 2) they wouldn't win and it would open the door for a precendent where any and all PC vendors would start selling hardware with OSX preinstalled.

  8. Re:Blender... on Blender 2.46 Released · · Score: 1

    And once Blender is AMDGame!Ultra certified it will be "super intuitive."

  9. I've heard this before... on New Linux Distribution — Exherbo, Announced · · Score: 1

    "The developers strongly discourage any serious use though as it's still highly experimental"

    They said the same thing about democracy...

  10. Dan Brown would be proud on NASA Does a U-Turn, Opens To Private Industry · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Point It's too bad that they announced this before they had a chance to stick a meteorite in the Arctic.

  11. Why is the first option always to shoot first? on US To Shoot Down Dying Satellite · · Score: 1

    I don't think that it was rocket science (aha!) to determine that Bush's first course of action would be to shoot a missle at his problems.

  12. Re:Very odd on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Microsoft buys Yahoo. Microsoft gets share of AT&T. Microsoft controls only (legal) data network for iPhone. Microsoft controls iPhone?

    And this will certainly pass regulation, since even "do no evil" megacorporations like Google need competition from "do most evil" megacorporations like Microsoft.
