  1. Re:Well spotted. on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    I heard a report on the radio today that France was donating $135,000. The band Linkin Park had pledged $100,000.

  2. Re:You must know about Noha's ark. on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    The animals don't need an ark to survive, apparently...

  3. Re:The most important thing on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    Every country is mentioning its own citizens. I read elmundo.es, and it is about Spanish survivors. BBC -- guess what -- British. They're doing something to attract readership -- making it relevant to their readers.

  4. Re:But, But, But.... on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    The Earth revolves around you? Wow, don't you have a giant ego!!!

  5. Re:As was mentioned yesterday on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 1

    Why? Because Hawaii was hit with a tsumani years ago, and we installed a warning system.

    Why? How about 100,000+++ reasons???

  6. Re:Donations on Quake Changes Earth's Rotation, Moves Islands · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Days since disaster hit: 3
    Days since Iraq war began: 653

    Don't let those facts get in the way, either.

  7. Do not taunt on Top 100 Toys From The '70s or Thereabouts · · Score: 1

    Is Happy Fun-Ball on the list?

  8. Re:Killer? on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 1

    You can't compare them without comparing the prices. You need to use the prices so that you can judge the relative value.

  9. Re:Why is everything an iPod killer? on Latest "iPod Killer" Takes Aim at the Mini · · Score: 1

    In fact, when getting my MP3 player, I made sure that it wasn't an IPod. Since, they're the brand name, you're going to pay more for that when you could get more features. Also, I'm not a 14-year-old, so I couldn't care less what people think about its looks.

  10. Re:John Madden on NBA Rejects EA Deal · · Score: 1

    "I beg your pardon?" (Summerall's favorite quote for when he couldn't figure out what the hell was going on)

  11. Re:Monopolies, Legal or Otherwise on NBA Rejects EA Deal · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that EA was well aware of what the competition was doing. Instead of dropping the price immediately, they went to their (annual) buy-2 -get-1 free offer. They simply offered consumers a different "deal."

    The interesting part is that this is the first year that they didn't offer the deal for the PC -- where ESPN's game was not offered.

  12. Re:EA games are not the best for BBall. on NBA Rejects EA Deal · · Score: 1

    Simply put, it is difficult to translate the game basketball to a video game. It just doesn't work as well.

  13. Re:Oh Great.. on 'Metal Gear' Symbian OS Trojan Disables Anti-Virus · · Score: 1

    Does the virus use the same mistranslations into English?

    I feel asleep!

  14. Re:Yo! on Washington Post Buys Slate From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Actually, the WPost was only .25 for the longest time, and was just bumped up to .35 in the recent past.

  15. Re:Sounds like a nut. on New Calendar Proposal · · Score: 2, Funny

    This would really mess up that digital sundial that we read about a few weeks ago...and what about the LEGO grandfather clock? He'd have to rebuild it. No, this new system just won't work.

  16. Re:But what does it taste like? on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    When I stereotype about how Americans love bad beer, I'm surely talking about the swill from Budweiser et al, and not the quality stuff that you can get almost anywhere, except a dive bar.

  17. Re:already done on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Nah, brew in the morning, bring that to work, go out for Starbucks coffee around 10, then switch to water for lunch/afternoon...so, two cups a day. But if I were drinking as much as I did in grad school, I would bring my own coffee maker, too.

  18. Re:Replace Starbucks, I don't think so... on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nescafe means "no es cafe"...

  19. Re:But what does it taste like? on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Since when did people start drinking coffee for the taste?

    Or beer, for that matter...Americans have some questionable tastes, that's for sure. Nothing like a beer brewed with rice!

    That's been done.
    Great for camping...

  21. Re:already done on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Gas station coffee might be worse than office coffee...

  22. Re:already done on Coming Soon: Self-Heating Coffee · · Score: 1

    Actually, the only reason that I waste my money on $2 coffee (yeah, black, no frills) is that the office coffee here is undrinkable. Horrid stuff.

  23. Re:is EA.. on EA Trying to Buy Ubisoft Shares · · Score: 1

    Plenty! Think of all of the times that people have had their computers taken over by hackers due to the lack of security from MS products...
