  1. Re:It won't be the same on Polaroid: This Time It's Digital · · Score: 1

    You can wave these pictures and it will have exactly the same effect as waving a polaroid - none at all.

  2. Re:Hyperthymesia on Brain Power Boosted With Electrical Stimulation · · Score: 2

    How the hell did you remember that?!

  3. Re:Nope! on Microsoft Reveals More Windows 8 Details · · Score: 1

    They started out putting a desktop interface into a mobile touchscreen device. They *finally* fix that up and now they want to put a mobile touchscreen interface onto a desktop device?!!

    On top of that, helium becomes fouled over time with impurities that migrate through whatever you're using to contain it. So you have to periodically pump out the helium, clean it, and pump it back in, which is a nontrivial task for something that large.

    Solution: Hydrogen!

    Yeah what a looser!

  6. Re:What about search? on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    And then you decide you want to order the results by something, and it decides it has to do the search AGAIN to do that!

  7. Re:people are wondering, what's the real deal, her on Is Twitter Rendered Obsolete By Google+? · · Score: 1

    Advertisers don't give a crap what your name is. They do want to know almost everything else about you though.

  8. Re:VOTE OR DIE !! on Australian R18+ Rating For Games? Not Yet; NSW Refuses To Vote · · Score: 1

    It's interesting actually. In Australia, we are required by law to vote in elections, and yet here is a guy who's *JOB* is to vote on stuff and he is allowed to not even do that?!

    I have my doubts about the whole issue though. It used to be all the states except SA were for the R rating. Then the SA AG is replaced, and all of a sudden the Victorian AG is against it. Now it's the NSW AG...

    You can't have guilt-free veal now?

  10. Re:Cheers for PETA on Scientists Create Artificial Meat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it ok if we make artificial human meat and eat that?

  11. Re:The rules are simple on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 1

    - If you are in salary, then there is an expectation of being on call.

    No, there's not, unless that is a part of your contract. Usually you would be expected to work extra hours for free when required, but that doesn't include being on call.

    If the government have zoned the area, they're responsible for keeping it safe.

  13. Re:Meanwhile on Fox News on Obama Talks Internet Freedom, China Censors · · Score: 1

    It's sad that that right now, Fox News is the only network that is critical of the Obama administration. In other words, Fox News is the only network that is DOING ITS JOB!

    Fox News would be doing its job if they would have given the same report had a republican given that speech instead of Obama.

  14. Re:I 3 IE6. on Firefox Passes IE6 In Browser Share · · Score: 4, Funny

    Plus, running IE6 on my machine can provide for potentially interesting conversations if it ever comes up.

    And I thought I was dull.

  15. Re:Hoping for Windows 7's success... on Firefox Passes IE6 In Browser Share · · Score: 1

    It didn't have 95% market share when it was released.

  16. Re:Android 256MB App Storage Limit on Android 2.0 — Competition Against the iPhone and the Rest · · Score: 1

    From the information in your link, this is not quite true. Android doesn't allow apps to be installed to an SD card. This means that in the Droid, there is a 256MB limit. However, other Android devices have much more ROM, allowing more space for apps.

  17. Re:It will be different this time on Wait For Windows 7 SP1, Support Firm Warns Users · · Score: 1

    I make it a point never to vote for those kinds of politicians.

    I try, but voting is compulsory in Australia.

    It's a DSi XL.

  19. Re:Demand? on Nintendo Announces DSi XL · · Score: 1

    It is wider, taller and thicker. It is thinner than the DS Lite though.

  20. Re:Price on Nintendo Announces DSi XL · · Score: 1

    This is larger and more expensive than the regular DSi.

  21. Re:What about emissions ? on Save the Planet, Eat Your Dog · · Score: 1

    Why have a car if you only drive 40km per year?

    And the advantage Japan has is that once you get to the city you're going to, you have excellent rail service around it as well, so you can easily get to the place you actually want to be. I've never been to America, but I've heard you don't have that, particularly in LA.
