  1. Re:I'm a minion of the googlopoly... on Yahoo Map Engineers Prank Google · · Score: 1

    What you say may be true (read: i haven't checked myself), but from the handful of minutes i looked at Yahoo maps, i didn't see "satilite(or however you spell it) view"...Which i like bout google. *but* i did like the business thingys on the bottom...too bad they're prolly just ads

  2. Re:blah! on 20 Million Year Old Spider Found · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. Please. I actually scared the dog with my laughing.

  3. Re:And in related news. on Google Releases Earth to Beta · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the "Beware of the Leopard" sign...
    And yes, the lights don't work, and the stairs are gone.
    No, I am not a direct blood relation of Genghis Khan...yet...

  4. Re:.de on German Search Engines Self-Regulating · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes...but .de is in a language they know. .com may not be...and, for those who don't know how to use preferences to switch Google to l33t/german, aka the common man, .de would just be more convenient...and would show results in German

  5. Darn...no more Hitler pics on German Search Engines Self-Regulating · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So that means no more Hitler...or anything remotely linked to WWII...i feel bad for the German student writing the book report about WWII's causes...that's gonna be pretty odd...

  6. Re:I, for one,... on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Now, how do we get it back? Or do we just radio pictures back to Earth? I, for one, would want to bring back the life for various experiments *if* we find some. Kinda like Columbus bringing back the locals he found, except without the whole problem of European diseases.
    Maybe we could try a Genesis-style reentry...minus the Terran desert part, that is...

  7. Re:Have you *never* seen on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 1

    me, i was thinking Andromeda Strain

  8. Re:Honest Question on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 2, Informative

    Prolly by guessing the age of the ice it was found in...based on strata, isotope dating (if possible)

  9. Re:I, for one,... on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 1

    uncrewed sample return mission

    Wouldn't it be funny if Earth viruses on the mission craft destroyed all traces of the bacteria before it got to Earth?
    Meanwhile, the scientists stare at each other and say "I coulda swore it was there..."

  10. Re:We're all dead!! on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't worry, by the third mutation or so it stops killing you and only erodes rubber...although it could go back any time now...

  11. Re:Your sig on Delayed Password Disclosure · · Score: 1

    Paper! I win!

  12. HTML versions... on Delayed Password Disclosure · · Score: 5, Funny

    Me, i hate pdf...so here's HTML versions, courtesy of Google: man in the middle attack
    stealth attacks

  13. Re:Price may not be a problem for long on AgroWaste to Oil a Growing Market · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    biomass (waste or otherwise)

    Hitler's dream machine...not only get rid of the so-called unwanted, but also fuel his war machine...Scary/Sobering, when you think about it...what scary potential this thing has.

  14. Re:SEWAGE! on AgroWaste to Oil a Growing Market · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hmm...if everyone had a miniture version of these plants in thier home, they could just dump everything (sewage, trash, reclyclables) down a chute and have a sign saying Oil- 25 cents a quart! outside on thier lawn...

  15. English lit == french lit, sorta on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 0

    But wouldn't French literature (like Les Mis, for example) also be indexed by Google, *but* in the English translation?

  16. Re:Records Cos on borrowed time on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 0

    They work hard and try to get as many people as they can to hear their art.

    Come now, we all know deep down inside that all these people want to do is make a cheap buck...like most of the human beings in the world. If these guys really wanted their music heard by the masses, they would give *free* public concerts, free CD'S...

  17. Re:Somebody got the title wrong… on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 0

    So i'm flawed... besides, i was off by wat, $30 million?

  18. Re:Reminds me of a movie... on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 0

    Wait! here it is... The First Five Million

  19. Reminds me of a movie... on The Hundred-Buck PC · · Score: 0

    I think i saw a movie a lot like this idea this summer...something about a sales guy trying to build a $99 pc with a group of uber-nerds...can't remember the title though, and google isn't helping... Wasn't too good of a movie though...they made an OS with only 69 lines of code in the movie...

  20. Re:Nostradamus preducted more tsunamis on Monday, January 24th to be Worst Day of the Year · · Score: 0

    Movie plot? Have you been reading Micheal Crichton's State of Fear? If you haven't, you should. Seriously.

  21. Re:Play GW this weekend (morning of Jan 7) on Ex-Blizzard lead men, Strain and O'Brian, Profiled · · Score: 1

    Did anyone here play the E3 for Everyone event, or was that just me?
