  1. Re:Best of Luck on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Invest? Dunno. I might send a resume, though.

  2. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Be nice if people could explain it without the "fuck off and die" part, though. Or the singing pig comment below mine. I have a general understanding of orbital mechanics being in the space biz and all, but I really don't expect it to be general knowledge even in the geekverse.

  3. Re:See, this is why... on Volcano Near Mexico City Becomes More Active · · Score: 4, Funny

    But I can keep my volcano based supervillain lair, right?

  4. Re:I trust on In Nothing We Trust · · Score: 4, Informative

    All you would get is a fresh slate of alpha sociopaths.

    Go ahead and start a PAC. The alphas will control it before the ink is dry on your flyers because they are willing to do what it takes to get to power- things you are not willing to do.

    No, I don't have a better answer. What do you do against people willing to do anything in their drive for power?

  7. Re:Someone still needs to adapt the Girl Genius .. on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 2

    No. No more adaptions. GG is one of my favorite things in the universe. Keep that cesspit Hollywood far away from it.

    How about they write movie scripts with original ideas that fit a movie form and structure?

  8. Re:PhD, xkcd and Penny Arcade on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 1

    Girl Genius forever! I love you, Agatha!

    Is this a 4/20 post? it's a 4/20 post, isn't it?

    That's 20/4 for those of you on the metric calendar.

  12. Re:Went to Notacon 9 / PixelJam, had a great time on Electronic Glitch Artwork Made by 'Weirdos Within the Weirdos' (Video) · · Score: 1

    Your hate makes me know I'm enjoying something special.

    I really hate racism and midget Hitler sex clones, too. Maybe you should check out those scenes (oops, sorry, I meant SC.ENE/s) for some groovy feralized vibitutde.

  13. Re:Gasoline-like energy density on IBM Creates 'Breathing' High-Density Lithium-Air Battery · · Score: 1

    Story posting in 2014: "What ever happened to lithium air batteries?"

    Not a word. It's actually IRREGARDLESS.

    The good of others must not be deleted from the evaluation function.

    Well now *there's* your problem. [/mythbuster]

  18. Huh? on Researchers Try To Identify the Intelligence Gene · · Score: 1

    Why do people assmuse any political comment is coming from a labeled point of view? We have a political system that promotes little other then sociopaths to the highest positions of power. Ideology is completely irrelevant. The problem is folks who think it does still matter and act as useful idiots^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H cheerleaders for one Party or another.

  19. Dawww! on Apple and Samsung Agree To Settlement Talks · · Score: 1

    That's sweet. I heard both sides agreed to hug when the urge to file a motion arises. Samsung will get a custom plushie of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook gets a pony. Pffft!

    Can we at least raise up the lower end? You know, maybe get a majority that stops voting for sociopaths?

  25. Sounds familiar on The Three Flavors of Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Funny

    After installation, a glowing hologram of Clippy appears and gives the user three choices.

    Red flavor - Destruction. Win8 destroys itself to revert back to the previously installed OS. Network port is permanently disabled.
    Blue flavor - Control. Keeps Win8 installed, but presents only a command line interface. Network port is permanently disabled.
    Green flavor - Synthesis. Keeps Metro UI as a fancy DOS shell. Network port is permanently disabled.
