  1. Re:Unfortunately on Smart Underwear Designed For Military · · Score: 0

    Yea, and most of the guys I know went commando in iraq, so I cant really imagine the Military issuing a stupid order like "wear underwear", I mean that would take a real jerk in charge... Oh wait, i'm glad I got out

  2. Re:In the US. on BP Buys "Oil Spill" Search Term · · Score: 1

    not for me, here in cali, i google OIL spill and nothing like thats mentioned, I even googled "BP Oil Spill" and no sponsored links

  3. Fucked up animals on Drunken Parrots Falling From Sky · · Score: 1

  5. Very Simple Solution on Congress To Hold Hearings On "Potty Parity Act" · · Score: 1

    Provide equal number of urinals in womens restrooms and supply them with those things that are all over the web, that allow women to pee standing up. Either the women will use them, or the status quo would remain http://www.go-girl.com/

  6. Re:OK, they're integrated "properly", but... on AMD's Fusion CPU + GPU Will Ship This Year · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would say it will matter, at least it might, Can't really write it off until you've seen it in the wild. AMD's more elegant initial dual core solution was infinitely better than Intels "lets slap 2 space heaters together and hope for the best"

  7. Re:Soo...... on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    yes i am an idiot, and yes I need to start previewing my comments, to correct for out of control grammatical errors.

  8. Soo...... on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    We can look forward to a lot hardcore postal fans will be switching to linux?

  9. Re:wagging the dog on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    Are you aware of how complicit the current pope was in the cover-up when he was a bishop?

  10. Re:Windows 95.... Windows XP on The End of the 3.5-inch Floppy Continues · · Score: 1

    this was back in the day, was getting back into computers after taking a 3 year sabbatical.. didn't know much, so No at that point I couldn't have slipstreamed anything

  11. Windows 95.... Windows XP on The End of the 3.5-inch Floppy Continues · · Score: 3, Funny

    I still remember as a 15 year old *ahem* downloading from alternate sources a copy of windows 95, then copying it to 25+ floppies and installing it. Painstaking, brutal fear of some error. It worked though.. Then when I buy a computer in 2003, and of course have no floppy drive in it (Configured on purpose that way) imagine my suprise when the only way to reinstall XP onto my sata drive is via FUCKING FLOPPY.

  12. Re:The donor? on The World's First Full Face Transplant · · Score: 1

    Yea it was in a house episode

  13. Re:At least the new tech is small on True Tales of Tech Hoarding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was intrigued by your mention of that "Air Spun Hard Drive" but didn't come up with anything on wikipedia, did it go by other names?

  14. Adoption? on UK Scientists Create a Three-Parent Embryo · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I applaud any science achievement, for whatever reason. However every-time I read a story like this, and octomom, etc the first thing that comes to mind is adoption. Yea I was adopted so that contributes to my feelings on the subject, but the whole "Need" to have YOUR kid, well it just seems ridiculous to me

  15. The Problem on Should Kids Be Bribed To Do Well In School? · · Score: 1

    Who do you need to "bribe"? I never needed it, and it was offered, and I welcomed the cash ($2 per "A") but it never affected my performance in school. Obviously this can never work outside of a parents issued situation. But with attentive parents, this will, and has worked.

  16. Re:Feels like cheating on Another Contender For the Land Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Could you post your source on that record?

  17. Re:"Nuclear Accidents" on DoD Report On 32 "Nuclear Accidents" · · Score: 1

    I was speaking of a weapon accidentally going off... you are speaking of someone (illegally or what have you) purposefully setting off a weapon. Two TOTALLY different things...

  19. "Nuclear Accidents" on DoD Report On 32 "Nuclear Accidents" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not really nuclear accidents. Nuke Weapons have a ridiculous amount of safeguards and settings needed to happen to actually go off. So it is impossible for a true nuclear weapon accidents. Maybe call em' accidents that involved nuclear weapons. any other phrase is alarmism

  20. 1 in 7 Also want the Berlin wall back on One Quarter of Germans Happy To Have Chip Implants · · Score: 5, Informative

    So take anything the Germans want with a grain of salt http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE58G5GS20090917

  21. Re:My fool-proof no-hangover method on Scientists Discover Booze That Won't Give You a Hangover · · Score: 1

    That takes planning and thought, and a lot of other things I do not have while drinking. Some kind of windows-update-automated-cant-fuck-it-up version of this is needed.

  22. What about saying fuck it? on The Difficulty of Dismantling Constellation · · Score: 1

    how many time has the American gov been screwed by contractors? Why not pay back the favor and pull out

  23. Re:1980's mainframe? on Secret Service Runs At "Six Sixes" Availability · · Score: 1

    Nah, just direct them towards some OTS Software that would do the same thing, probably easier.

  24. 1980's mainframe? on Secret Service Runs At "Six Sixes" Availability · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't one small consumer grade server have the same power? Isn't this an easy fix?

  25. Re:Hunters.. on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    I often wish they woulda made a version of fallout 3, with fallout 2's graphic engine
