  2. perfect business plan on Microsoft Loses $126 Per Unit on XBox 360 · · Score: 1
    Buy xbox 360s at $399 (purchase in a sales tax free state like new hampshire).
    Sell already assembled xboxs back to microsoft for $500.
    Microsoft saves $50 over what it is currently paying for units.
    You gain $101.
    This is a perfect win-win situation for microsoft and the person doing the business plan.

    PROFIT FOR ALL!

    Instead of the stupid special editions wheey Gweedo fires first. dumb dumb dumb. I am keeping my old VHS just so I can watch the pure and correct versions of Star Wars. I can't wait for this movie to go public domain so that people will be able ot legally fix the movies and watch them the way they were meant to be seen (without all the stupid animal shots on tatooine and with han Solo Cooly blowing the green snot out of Gweedo.

  4. Instead of injecting it combine it was calcium on Storing Liquid CO2 in the Oceans? · · Score: 1

    If only we could find an organic process that can take disolved C02 and combine it with calcium into a hard no gaseous state. Perhaps a good biotec company could find and patent this process. Or we could just encourage more shellfish to breed and die.

  7. Re:CU not UC on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 1

    Another interesting item is that the N on the University of Nebraska football helmet stands for "Knowledge." Shoulder to Shoulder we will fight! fight! fightfightfight.

All problems are perceived to be technical problems. Managerial and quality assurance activities are deemed to be overhead and superfluous to the task of software development process.

    Remember the famouse automaton Mephisto from the 19th century that claimed to be a chess playing robot.

    I think I could hide a midget inside an SUV with enough computer looking doohickies to make a cool $2mill.

  12. Please make a short mode game on Ask The Civ IV Dev Team · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there any plan for a short form game? It would be nice if i could sit down and finish an entire game in 1-2 hours instead of many many hours.

  13. Too dumb for Engineering on Why Students Are Leaving Engineering · · Score: 1

    Famously Calculus, Discrete Math are filters for people without an engineering mind set. If you can't do calculus you shoud not design bridges or airplanes. For the author in specific he would have been slaughtered by Organic Chemistry and dropped out his junior year. I knew many many many chem-es who switched to civil engineering after they could not hack O-Chem.

  14. Would then Earth not be a planet on How Would You Define a Planet? · · Score: 1

    One could argue that the moon + Earth are a dual planet.

  17. Re:Actually... on The End of the Bar Code · · Score: 1

    I will have to remember to bring my aluminum bags and give myself some free items that the RFID won't reach. I suppose there also might be an easy way to hack the shopping cart so that it was basically a faraday cage. A stealth cart!

  18. Its the Commercials on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    I hate paying $10 for a ticket and then the lights dim and a stupid commerical for Fanta soda or Razors blasts at 120 db. you can't even ignore them because it is so loud.
    i don't mind the previews because at least they are relavant to the movie going experience.
    I guessIam just spoiled by tivo. I only see commercials if I watch live events (go BoSox!)

  19. no stranger than dolphin pins on X-15 Pilots Finally Get Astronaut Wings · · Score: 1

    This is no sillier than submariners getting dolpin pins. I don't think that just because you passed sub training you are now an orca. The pin is a symbol of an acomplishment or a communion.

  20. Why Doesn't Blizzard sell gold to players directly on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: 1

    If there is a market for it why is blizzard letting sweat shop s take the profit. Sell to players directly and break the market.

  21. Re:Where are the SMGs and Pistols on Moody Non-Photo-Realistic Driving · · Score: 1

    You can have sex with hookers, stab them with knives repeatadly untila pool of blood forms. Then you can run through the blood and leave your foot prints everywhere.
    Also the knife sounds as CJ slits someone's throat is pretty sick sounding.

  24. What if Ads were tailered to you on TiVo Lets You Respond to Ads · · Score: 1
    On the surface this might seem like a good idea. why should a house of 20 year old men see Ads for tampons and the like? However, just imagine the embaressment when those same 20 year old men's girlfriends or parents come to visit and watch TV and see ad after Ad for Pron, beer and computer games.

    Or imagine the racial profiling incidents. Even if a minority group just loves to drink grape soda would it make it ok to profile all races and target them?

    Could lead to some interesting results:

  25. Harry Potter on bit Torrent on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 3, Funny
    I was perusing bit torrent and found the 6th book in pdf form. However, I think it was just some fan fiction posing under the real title. As the book was only half as long as the real book and contained a lot of toilet humor.
    "Gotta go to the bathroom... gotta go to the bathroom..." Harry Potter repeated over and over in his mind until the words lost all meaning. He and Dudley had just spent the past two hours celebrating their graduation from their fifth years at school by having a soda drinking contest, which Harry won. Sadly, it was a pyrrhic victory. Harry had set a personal record by chugging down fifty-three cans of soda, and now he had to let it out... but where?
