  1. Re:Finally... on Material With Negative Refractive Index Created · · Score: 1

    Just go to a life drawing session. It can cost $30, but you get plenty of time with a naked woman (assuming you check the schedule). Only problems are that there's no touching, no erection, and the woman is probably old or ugly, but hey, its better than nothing right?

    Actually from the interviews, they simply decided that doing the whole translation thing was boring so they dropped it completely.

    Really

  4. Re:It does need a reboot. on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    I'm really not surprised that it the military didn't take long to develop new weapons and everything. SG-1 mostly covered the efforts of the point team, SG-1. It didn't cover the hearts and minds teams, the diplomatic teams, and the R&D teams that are very clearly in the background. With unlimited access to a number of alien technologies, talking to alien tech and weapons experts, etc. While experts weren't common, and it was rare that any were generally a real expert, some things like the staff weapons the military had access to in droves. Also stuff like flyers and ring transporters were easy to get, and the govmint was spending as much money as possible on the research programs.

    That's probably why SG-1 was pissed at that second gate team in the 3rd(? 4th maybe?) season, as they were just taking everything and ruining the diplomacy.

    I was thinking more along the line of.... ... "oops" when the Chinese military seizes all of their investments in the local neighborhood.

    I think people are not worrying enough about what happens when the Chinese government figures it has enough of the world's manufacturing on its own soil (including Taiwan), as well as the technical skills to use it.

  7. Re:That's a discussion we need to have. on Outsourcing Growing Beyond India · · Score: 1
    True. I've always supposed that I could have easily done as bad of a job as Carly Fiorina did with HP. It would have taken a lot less to pay me to leave than it did her, a win-win for everyone.
    Damn, my dog could have done just as well and all she wants is a run outside and some good food.

    When did I ever imply that the so-called "blue" states are "smart"?

    And Texas at least isn't the worst of the lot! I mean, at least you arn't living in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Louisianna, Maryland, Massachu....

  10. Re:Are we sure it comes from work? on Understanding Burnout · · Score: 3, Informative

    Its not my fault your mind works that way.

    I seem to recall sleeping in the same bed as my parents sometimes. It was pretty comforting. I know my brother and my cousins did it as well.

    I don't know which is sadder... whether I actually agree with your reasoning or that I would like to see Country Time lemonade take over Sprite sales because I own stock in Pepsico and not Coca Cola.

  13. Boston iPod Party anyone? on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I seem to recall some certain historical figures threw a party for similar reasons. I think we call them heroes now. I think it will be time soon for a demonstration of the founding principals of the home of the free and the land of the brave.

    Sounds pretty fun there
  15. Re:Slashdot headline worst ever on Sony Console the Worst Launch Ever · · Score: 1

    So Zonk's reporting is biased. At least he doesn't even try to hide it, so you can consider what he's saying in that light.

    I tend to agree with him about the quality of Sony as a company nowadays, although this headline was still a bit over-the-top misleading.

    For the record, my one bad experience with Sony is having a DVD burner brick on me after burning 3 DVDs.

    I think there should be an international treaty banning all lethal weapons without a brain attached to the trigger.

  21. That doesn't seem like alot on Wikipedia and Plagiarism · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't Wikipedia have over a million articles (not in English alone, I know)? That would mean that's less than .1% of the articles are plagiarized. Seems reasonable to me that that amount would get by into unnoticed. All it takes is for the original author then to deal with it.

    If someone as incompetent as Bush wins I'm gonna be extremely depressed. I would understand that more if he actually managed to accomplish something other than ruining the country.

    Well I looked at that list, and the first thing I thought is "Well at least he didn't make any of the sequels." Event Horizon was good, the rest that I've seen were ok action flicks.

  25. Re:Good reason for that. on Sony Warns of PS3 Scams · · Score: 1
    It was posted by Zonk, so it's an obvious troll.. he knew enough negative comments would be added to balance everything out.
    So he posted this on the assumption that any posting of the words "Sony" and "PS3" (noting that PS3 is not really one word, and combinations can include 0 if one or the other is true) will generate a huge amount of negative commentary to equate to bad press for Sony.

    I'd be more surprised at this conclusion if that wasn't the least sick and twisted thing I've heard today.
