  1. Some questions: on String Theory Put to the Test · · Score: 2, Insightful

    1. Which string theory? There's a few. Anyone who says "M-Theory" will get slapped.

    2. What predictions does the string theory in question make?

    3. Are the predictions unique to string theory?

  2. Need to do a prog rock version on Global Collaborative Music Experiment · · Score: 1

    Then it's ONE song or 35 minutes. :)

    Hey, I tease. I'm a long time prog rock fan.

  3. Re:Hydro is good for this. on Running Your Electric Meter Backwards · · Score: 2, Funny

    That sounds great! How much do streams cost? Does the price include installation?

  4. Mod parent -50 Rap Reference on Nokia Developing Diamond-Like Gadget Casing · · Score: 1

    I mean, really!

  5. Re:But he's kind of a crank. on First Flying Dinosaurs Had Biplane Structure · · Score: 1

    I know several vertebrate paleontologists

    Don't all paleontologists have vertebraes?

    I'm sorry.

  6. Where to send resume... on Exploding Robots May Scout Hazardous Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Remote control sharks or exploding robots... remote control sharks... exploding robots... Argh!

  7. Re:Scientists Had to Look Twice on Scientists Find 'Altruistic' Center of the Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's a really uncharitable viewpoint.

  8. Right... on The Birth of Quantum Biology · · Score: 1

    They plan to precisely model quantum mechanical events? Yeah, good luck with that one.

  9. Trust or tryst? :) on MySpace Sued by Families of Online Predator Victims · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Probably not the same situation (I don't know if the girls knew the guys were older men), but when I was 17, I had a short affair with a 34 year old woman (a neighbor two houses down). I had a near perfect relationship with my parents, but do you think I told them about it? To this day they don't know.

  10. I thought we outgrew... on Mac OS X Versus Windows Vista, The Rematch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...the popularity = quality correlation fallacy?

    500 million people a year catch malaria. Wow! Sounds like the thing to do!

  11. Just a half million dollars! on Solar Power Eliminates Utility Bills in U.S. Home · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'll get right on that!

  12. Re:Not impressed on iPhone Roundup · · Score: 1

    I can't really think of much else that I want a smartphone to do.

    I want it to cook me breakfast in the morning.

    No, wait, I'm thinking of something else. Never mind.

  13. Maybe they should wear a scarlet "S" on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Seriously, this is middle age thinking. Skepticism, even if it's politically motivated (and I'm not syaing it all is in this issue), is a good thing for science. Skepticism is what makes science work in the long run.

  14. Re:Can you arm yourself with a slogan? on Political Strife Erupts in Second Life · · Score: 1

    For a final project in an early programming class, I wrote a 4 dimensional Hunt The Wumpus. It involved time travel. )

  15. Can you arm yourself with a slogan? on Political Strife Erupts in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Second Life solved the problem by turning out the lights around the protestors, and they were eaten by grues. ...

    Yes, I am horribly old. :(

  16. Re:Left vs Right? on Political Strife Erupts in Second Life · · Score: 1

    Really, do politics boil down to left and right?

    For most people, yes. Politics and ideology are mind cancers. Some day we may find a cure, but not for a very long time. They may be the diseases that lead to human extinction.

  17. Typical response of the dumbshit brigade on IsoHunt Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    Yep. Being against illegal immigration is racist.

    I thought you ideological lackwits gave up on that line because anyone with more than two brain cells tended to laugh in your faces when you tried to trot it out?

    Fuck you.

    No thanks, big tough AC boy.

  18. Re:a Rose by any other name is still full of crap on IsoHunt Shut Down? · · Score: 1

    Christ, what a little shit you are.

    Oh noes! Mikey Hearn don't not like me! Whatever shall I do. Drop dead!

    Why not just admit that you don't actually give a crap about anybody but yourself,

    Pretty much thought I already did. If you're typical of Google employees, I think I might sell my stock. Good lord, what a self important shitsucking pussy. Get over your tiny, unimportant little self.

  19. Re:a Rose by any other name is still full of crap on IsoHunt Shut Down? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    torrents are just the hurricane katrina of the internet.

    Cripes, I *WISH* torrents had that sort of speed. :-\

    BTW, I fully admit to being a looter. I know the law. I just don't give a shit. In a world where our government is selling us out to another country, where illegal aliens are given more rights than citizens, where some soccer dude can get handed a quarter of a -*BILLION*- dollars for playing a game, why should I be a nice little nobody who follows all the rules? Fuck all that. It's every man for himself from this point on.

  20. I took 100 hours to beat FF12... on Square Moves into Serious Games Biz · · Score: 1

    ...and now they say it's not a serious game?

    ObWTF: WTF?

  21. Re:Yo. on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I had a similar reaction. Couldn't they have done an Adam Sandler movie or something?

  22. It's synergy, you see... on Submitting Federal Proposals Requires Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    You use a bloated OS to get money from bloated government. I don't see the problem.

    Man, here comes another flamebait mod. :( We truthsayes have it rough.

  23. Lesson learned on Japan Scrapping Moon Mission · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next time they won't keep the probe in the U-Pack-It long term storage garages in Kobe.

    Or at least put a tarp over it or something.

  24. More questions on Why "Upgrade" To Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    Other questions to ask:

    Why do I need another hole in my head?
    Why do I need a switch kick in the nads?
    Eyes. Do I really need them?
    What are the advantages of early onset dementia?

  25. Skiffy? on Making Light (More) Solid · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're treading dangerously into Piers Anthony territory here, and should back off a bit to the David Brin zone.
