  1. Re:Already done! on Making Ice Without Electricity · · Score: 1

    I loved Mosquito Coast. Hitler + McGuyver = Harrison Ford.

  2. Re:My Own Research on Drug Reverses Effects of Sleep Deprivation · · Score: 1
    My Own Research has shown that crystal meth works just as good!
    Yes, and I'm sure you look just darling in that tinfoil hat.
  3. Re:Oh boy on Drug Reverses Effects of Sleep Deprivation · · Score: 1

    It's a shame we can't get the military interested in marijuana instead. I think we'd have a few less wars.

  4. Re:Digital Restrictions Management on New Display Interface Standard in the Works · · Score: 1
    Optional unless you want to be compatible with Microsoft's new edition of Windows Media Player.
    I'm not too concerned about that. There will always be other (and better) alternatives to WMP (ie VLAN, MPC, etc). As for DRM, in recent history, the only DRM schemes that have gone relatively uncracked were the ones that used security through obscurity. (ie Sony's http://www.sony.net/Products/OpenMG/)
  5. Re:Safe and secure! on Server Based Slots of the Future · · Score: 5, Informative

    The code that runs the slot machines is REQUIRED to be inspected and approved by the Nevada Gaming Board (for vegas anyways). So yes, it'll be safe and secure. . This hasn't stopped previous successful exploits on slot machines. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/1998/Jan-10 -Sat-1998/news/6745681.html Las Vegas has a history of falling prey to the very same people they use to keep gaming secure. As with any secure system, the weakest link is always the human factor.

  6. Humph on 125-Mile WiFi Connection · · Score: 1

    and I can't even get mine to reach my bedroom.

  7. Re:Oh, so now we're getting into an oldest... on AMD to Adopt DDR2 Next Year · · Score: 1

    Do you have the older 7 pin abacus, or the 13 pin floating point unit model?

  8. Re:Someone say breakeven? on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    "as a typical fusion bomb" ehem..... fission. Minor detail ... big difference.

  9. FPS on Are Video Game Patents Next? · · Score: 1

    Too bad ID Software didn't patent the First Person Shooter. Software companies would have been forced to create new innovative types of games instead of flooding the market with FPSs for the past decade.

  10. Oh JOY! Another FPS on The Art and Design of Quake 4 · · Score: 1

    For the love of monkeys! Do we really ... and I mean REALLY need another first person shooter? How can someone even feign interest in an overworked franchise in a saturated market of FPS clones? Screw this, I'm going to go play pong.

  11. Scare tactics on Blogs Latest Source of PC Infection · · Score: 1

    This whole article wreaks of bullsh*t and scare tactics. The entire internet is capable of playing host to nefarious code. A few hundred blogs out of millions? This s just weak reporting.

  12. Re:One place to look on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 1

    Interesting how territorial jurisdiction is an important and a valid defense when it comes to acts of torture You think that's interesting, think of what they can do on a vessel in international waters.

  13. Re:One place to look on The Continuing Hunt for PATRIOT Act Abuses · · Score: 1

    You are incorrect sir. It is a US military base, therefore falls under US Federal Jurisdiction. Trust me, I know this from experience.

  14. Obvious Solution on Symantec Patents Multiple File Area Virus Scanning · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't Symantec just patent the Polymorphic Virus? That way only they would be able to make them.

  15. Yikes! on Competition to Build the Space Shuttle's Successor · · Score: 1

    That would be a very expensive failure for second place. Something like that could bankrupt a smaller company. http://buttnakedbroadcasting.blogspot.com/
