  1. Re:How much on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 1

    ... electricity generated from my blood sugar?

    What about people like me who have type-2 diabetes, you insensitive clod!

  2. No chance... on New Model Solves Grandfather Paradox · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... so there's no chance of stopping Lucas from making Episodes I-III?

  3. Why? on Porn in Your Pocket · · Score: 1

    Why not just download porn from the internet and reencode it and put it on a memory stick? Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper?

  4. 25tb? on Simulated Universe · · Score: 1

    Well, if we clustered several hundred thousand PS3's, we may reach Adams' 42(tb).

  5. Another example off... on Too Much Homework Can Be Counterproductive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Scientific Research That Could Have Been Avoided

    I feel they're just stating the obvious here - I'm currently a high school student, and I do NOT do homework, unless I feel I need to. If there's subject concepts or theories that I'm already aware of and understand, why do the homework? It just adds more to the pile that I have every night. It doesn't take a grad student to work out doing the work that applies to yourself is more relevant and useful than just doing everything in the book. My teachers also share this view and only collect work that goes towards the report card - if you don't do the work to at least understand it, you'll fuck up the exam, end of story.

    However, I'm currently in year 11 and I can work out my own study regime - what needs to be done in years 7-10, is students need to receive a constant inflow work, getting a routine at home happening. It doesn't need to be a truck load, but sufficient enough to keep the student busy for an hour at the least.

  6. Just what the doctor ordered... on Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is this the inevitable link that will cause the Star Wars Universe to meet the Star Trek Universe? Should prove to be some interesting fight scenes...

  7. When can we expect... on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 5, Funny

    When can we expect the retail eye-wear version of this technology to be mass produced?

    </obligatory>

  8. Be happy you insolent... on Another Star Wars Prequel? · · Score: 1

    ... assuming the Gungans don't have lifecycles like Yoda, Jar Jar Binks won't have been born yet either...

  9. It's not counter-productive... on Eat Right, Earn an iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    XBOX IS HUGE. Therefore it will be a weight lifting exercise getting it home, assuming their arms don't fall off. Also, having an iPod will also have to improve their cardiovascular capacity, having to run for their life when being mugged for being recognised with the white earphones.

    I don't know what you guys are thinking, this DOES help the kids.

  10. Sucker punch over standard TCP/IP on Cybernetic System to Allow Physical Interaction · · Score: 1

    This is one step closer to sucker punching people over standard TCP/I - a day I most anxiously await.

  11. Re:Tsktsktsk.... on UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video · · Score: 1

    They claim to offer deletion if you click the link to do so on the download page, why they'd want to keep it instead of deleting it is beyond me...

  12. Re:Tsktsktsk.... on UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video · · Score: 1

    It's been around since '03, so it's somewhat reliable, but anyone intelligent wouldn't upload sensitive information to it...

    Wait.. intelligence on the internet? Yeah, right.

  13. Tsktsktsk.... on UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video · · Score: 5, Insightful

    they should've used YouSendit d:

  14. Re:Computer companies? on U.S. Firms Take on Australia's CSIRO Over Patents · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but all six of them are in the computer/tech industry, I'm not sure about m$, but the rest also make products using the wireless standards.

  15. Re:Does this means... on New Lucas Headquarters To Open in San Francisco · · Score: 1

    I thought it'd be for the TV series being made....

  16. Re:The heat is on... on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Damnit, I was in a hurry after the good news. Let me rephrase.

    I feel now it's more or less a level playing field, where now it will boil down to which has the better _new_ games designed for that console.

  17. The heat is on... on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... now that both of the 2 fully announced consoles have their predecessors games to back them up, I feel it's actually a fair competition on which console has the games that people want.

  18. Re:Can we say Michael Crichton??? on Unmanned Aircraft Clustered via Bluetooth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, these things don't cluster to form life-like mimics of things or people, don't self-replicate or chew up mp3 players.

    I think it's more technology catching up with nature.

  19. You insensitive clod! on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I use an IBM Model M, the cockroach of keyboards, not only can it withstand the worst of worsts in food, but it can survive nuclear war!

  20. Re:Kick Ass on Google Adds Movie Ratings, Times, Reviews · · Score: 1

    How to use the Google calculator... after a minute of looking around a bit.

    Haven't bothered to test extensively...

  22. Re:Rate web pages on Google Adds Movie Ratings, Times, Reviews · · Score: 1

    They should at least allow users to rate the review itself, those with lesser ratings pushed down the list, and those rated higher up. I'd imagine you'd vote based on the review after seeing the movie of course...

  23. Re:Damn kids and their modern technology.... on iPod Dangerous When Wet · · Score: 1

    I've had my iRiver H120 submerged in water for 10 minutes, and it still works fine.
