  1. Crew Ends 100 Day Mars Simulation in... on Crew Ends 100 Day Mars Simulation in Arctic · · Score: 1

    My RSS aggregator chopped the title off at "Crew Ends 100 Day Mars Simulation in..." and some twisted part of me chanted "... a ball of fire, a ball of fire" as I clicked the link. Does this speak ill of me, or would it be an expected NASA blunder?

  2. Re:Content provider guarentee on Federal Agents Raid Homes for Modchips · · Score: 1

    This is a good idea, but to satisfy the company, you'd have to send them your old damaged copy.

    Otherwise, it'd be a great avenue to bootleg copies and garner unwanted attention.

  3. Re:Dasher? on Five Finger Keyboards · · Score: 1

    You also beat me to the punch. Dasher was designed for people with no hands or without the ability to use them, for one-handed use, and for PDAs. WPM count is only "fair" because it requires a hand-eye coordination and reaction timing, since it's like a game in itself, versus the tactile muscle-memory involved in key pounding.

    For me, ritePen is a bit faster, but this handwriting recognition software relies on a hand-eye coordination aspect.

  4. You're welcome on Google Maps Now Does Interactive Re-Routing · · Score: 1

    You all can thank me, because I am the one who requested it.

  5. A good read! on Identity Thief Apprehended By Victim · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know this won't get modded up much, but I have to say it: Most of the time, the article which is linked from a blog isn't very meaty or involving. This article rose beyond a simple statement of fact and drew me into an exciting story to read. Who doesn't love a good chase? A great read!

  6. As long as... on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1

    I'm ok with equal rights for chimps, as long as they pay taxes.

  7. I'm not entirely sure how... on How Small a PC Is Too Small? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...but I think this is related: http://imdb.com/title/tt0374020/

  8. Certified Garbaj on Consumer Friendly Downloads? · · Score: 0

    "consumers wouldn't benefit much from a system in which good products simply display seals of approval"

    Reminds me of Tommy Boy: It's guaranteed because it's worth less.

  9. When will these people learn we don't want goggles on Big Screen Viewing Effect For Mobile Phone Videos · · Score: 0

    So they're not entirely goggles, but it's still cumbersome. Not to mention you have to take off any prescription spectacles to use it. A fool and his money..

  10. Re:Defrag first, man. on Comprehensive Guide to the Windows Paging File · · Score: 0

    ...decimates her wishes to let her body die long after her mind and soul already has.

    You know her soul has died how? Oh yeah that's right. You must be God.
    Somehow I doubt God would choose an online forum as a vehicle.

  11. Anyone mention: the new macs' mice ARE the button? on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    There is no separate button on top: you press down on the WHOLE mouse body.
    How Apple can you get?
