  1. Re:spooky? on Breakthrough Brings Star Trek Transporter Closer · · Score: 2, Funny

    Either way, I think we are now one stop closer to the Fax-a-Pizza

  2. Could save you two ways. on Polyethylene Bulletproof Vests Better Than Kevlar · · Score: 1

    Hey, it might even help out on moon exploration or even to mars. http://www.clavius.org/envrad.html

    Stops bullets and keeps the kiddies from mutating.

  3. I can see the headlines on Bacteria To Protect Against Quakes · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Leaning Tower of Pisa saved by E. Coli

    OR

    SandMan to take penicillin to stop from getting stoned.

  4. Re:But from where... on Chimps Found Making Own Weapons to Hunt for Food · · Score: 1

    I think mentioning lawyers is a hit below the belt. Actually, aren't they a step back?

  5. Re:Yes. on The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? · · Score: 1

    My wife works for a mechanical engineering company. She took the WII in for lunch one day and set it up on a projector. She and three engineers played all thru lunch and had a ton of fun on the system and almost everyone walking by stopped and was amazed at the game play. Not only that we found out later that the CAD people had come in after she was gone and had played it as well .. she accidently shutdown production in half the office for half the day.

    I've found that everyone that has sat down and played in a group for at least ten minutes stuck on playing it with about a quarter of that looking to purchase one in the future.

  6. Re:Probably a prototype on Ancient Astronomical Computer Decoded · · Score: 1

    By finding it at the bottom of the ocean it looks to be an ancient predecessor to the Zune. Obviously the DRM killed it and it was junked.

  7. Re:"Promote sociability and new worldviews"? on Study Shows that MMOGs Promote Sociability · · Score: 1

    Ever been to Compton?

  8. Re:Bribed on Nine Ways to Stop Industrial Espionage · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I worked for a company that said if you get bribed keep the money and turn in the person bribing you. If the charges stick you'll get an additional $1000.00.

    I never got bribed. I was hoping all the time.

    Recording......
    Plate, menu, waitress, menu, wife, waitress, waitress' behind, wife's fist, ceiling, wife's shoe, ceiling, wife's shoe, ceiling, wife's shoe,...

    End of transmission

  10. hmmm.. on Spammer Sentenced to 9 Years in Jail · · Score: 1

    He made 750,000 dollars a month sending junk product and porn ads. Not only that he forged his name in the ads.

    I would say that more data about the trial is needed.

    But the idea of someone sending porn ads and viagra listings to my underage niece just because she wants to get emails from grandma makes me sick.

    The jury seemed to think the 9 years was valid.

    I'd say in this case the law might be working as intended.

  11. thats not the worst from Granholm on Online Cigarette Customers Get Bill from State · · Score: 1

    I left Michigan right after they started this tax. They now have a fine if they find a resident with a pack of cigarettes with no tax stamp on them(not sure but think in the 500 dollar range), and the government there is thinking about taxing internet services. ( I could see my online game play being taxed real soon.) So I left the state.
