  1. Re:PCR? With what primers? on Rover Exiting Crater To Continue Martian Marathon · · Score: 1

    there is, it's called NMR, now, we'll leave the engineers to put an NMR machine and a robot that can prepare an NMR sample in a lander. Really, the best thing would be to bring the sample back to Earth, that's the only way to test them properly, a single instrument can never tell you what you have, you need multiple tests.

    You could use Mass Spec to get some evidence of big molecules, it wouldn't tell you much about structure, but it would tell you that there's some big carbony molecules there, Beagle 2 had a mass spectrometer on board, shame it got splattered.

  2. Re:therefore on Bell Labs Kills Fundamental Physics Research · · Score: 1

    Yes! This is the internet, and on the internet, everyone must find the same thing funny as me or they are clearly mentally retarded or something, and I must point this out to them.

  3. Re:Fun on Full Facial Transplant Is One Step Closer · · Score: 1

    If your going to insist on being a big ol joke spoiler, you may as well point out that because the bone structure underneath is different, the face won't look the same when it's stuck in another person.

  4. Re:linux sucks on If Linux Fails, Blame Jim Zemlin · · Score: 1

    So what are you saying? Linux is either like fucking a prepubescent girl or an old menopausal woman?

    There was no war, people were alive, Bush started a war, now they are dead. It is Bushes fault, he is responsible for the killing.

  9. Re:Insurance? on How Do I Prevent Lan Party Theft? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pffft, unless you were crawled out of the sea bashing two vacuum tubes together then you are not a greybeard.

  11. Re:Re-education on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    how many Iraqis does Bush need to kill to be counted as a true tyrant? You could set up one of those big mock thermometers to chart his progress towards his goal.

    While researchers discovered that while a different universe could still have stars, they found that this is the only possible universe in which Morris Dancing could exist.

  16. Re:Two ways? on Bees Help Detectives Catch Serial Killers · · Score: 4, Funny

    slight flaw, known serial killers' homes are generaly maximum security prison.

  17. Re:Uncanny Valley on Some Eye-Popping Research From Siggraph · · Score: 1

    No it's nothing wrong with the software, women just look weird. That's why I like guys.

  18. Re:Tossing softballs on Rare Q&A With Rockstar Games Head Sam Houser · · Score: 1

    The only thing exciting about Bioshock's decisions were that there were manifest benefits to selecting the immoral choice.

    But there actually weren't. if you add up the amount of Adam you get from the teddy bears, you get almost the same amount, it's only like 1 or 2 plasmids worth difference, and you get a few plasmids in the teddies, so really, there's no significant difference.

  19. Fools! on How NASA Will Bomb the Moon To Find Water · · Score: 1

    I smacked my mate right on the nose with a wiimote one time, that was pretty violent, and there was plenty of blood...

  22. Re:Save the Franchise? on LucasArts Embargoes "Clone Wars" Reviews · · Score: 1

    Did we ever actually see a storm trooper get killed by an ewok arrow? The only stormtroopers seen getting injured were with rocks, the arrows just annoyed them.

    They were supposed to be wookies, but it's easier to find midgets in Hollywood than 7 foot tall guys.

  23. Re:WRONG!! on Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones · · Score: 1

    but the question is, is the "to be installed on Apple-branded computers only" line really legally valid? Is an EULA on 'cash for disc' software really valid?

    Did psystar buy software licences, or boxes with discs in?

  24. Re:What does it do when you show it cheese ? on Rat-Brained Robots Take Their First Steps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Noting much, but if you show it a binary representation of some cheese, that gets it's attention.

  25. Re:Oh No! on Rat-Brained Robots Take Their First Steps · · Score: 1

    PETA are not really lefties. Proper lefties hate (capitalist) pigs and (running) dogs, and we want to get rid of all the (fat) cats.
