  1. Re:In Soviet Russia, they don't give up on Solar Sail Launch Failure Confirmed · · Score: 1

    ... CowboyNeal?

  2. Re: Sheer Brilliance on Dvorak Sees MS Conspiracy Against BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Informative

    no ... it's not worth it here's the wikipedia article though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse

  3. Re:Repeat your basic 6th grade maths, PLEASE. on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: 1

    OOPs sorry ... I didn't do the math I just wanted to clarify that widescreen referred to the ratio and noth the size of the screen. At any rate i guess it's at least wider than the average 3:4 ratio. I'll do my homework next time =D

  4. Re:Thoughts on virtual thoughts on Effort to Create Virtual Brain Begins · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that total perfect emulation of human thought is impossible. You would have to be able to create emotions, human error (which would require the truly random - impossible on a computer) Also human error would require the ability to make mistakes such as on math. not necessarily that it would make mistakes but it would have to have the ability. We can get close, but never totally there.

  5. Re:widescreen? on Archos Widescreen PMP · · Score: 1

    actually the ratio is 16:9, the same as you get in a movie theater =P

  6. Re:Tropical on Arctic Warming Drying Up Lakes · · Score: 1

    people also need to stop mixing up globaal warming (which is a theory) and the greenhouse effect (a proven fact). If it weren't for the greenhouse effect we wouldn't exist and the average surface temp would be about 60 degrees colder than it is now

  7. Re:I for one welcome global warming on Arctic Warming Drying Up Lakes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes it would. The average global temperature today is only 9 degrees hotter than the height of the last ice age, so 4-5 degrees would make a huge difference. The temp now it about 1 degree hotter than at the turn of the 20th century. yes, I took meteorology last semester

  8. Re:Tester on Resurrecting Performers Via Computer Performance · · Score: 1

  11. teehee on Drilling to the Center of the Earth · · Score: 1

    Reminds me that I have a friend that once thought that if you did something like that the Earth would pop/deflate. guess he never factored in volcanoes or anything of the sort

  12. Maybe it's just me ... on North Korean Hackers Rival CIA? · · Score: 1

    But I call BS. Probably nothing more than FUD, paranoia, and hot air

  13. Re:Sure, maybe the CIA on North Korean Hackers Rival CIA? · · Score: 1

  17. Re:Sloppy editing regarding firearms on How the Secret Service Busted ShadowCrew · · Score: 1

    actually, IIRC, a machine gun, or automatic in general was originally and is technically used to refer to any sort of firearm that used any sort of mechanism to relaod without interation from the user. but I could be wrong had to nitpick =D

  18. Re:Why doesn't this make sense? on How the Secret Service Busted ShadowCrew · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Meanwhile at the Microsoft headquarters... on EU Deadline Approaching for Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I say we blitz Redmond! Gather your torches and pitchforks and other miscellaneous household-objects-that-are-useful-as-weapons people, and wait for the smoke from the dive bombers to clear!
