  1. What about allergies? on FDA Considers Redefining Chocolate · · Score: 1

    I'm allergic to chocolate. If it says chocolate anywhere in the ingredients I can't have it. However oddly enough I'm not allergic to cocoa.

    I wonder if they redefine chocolate if I'll still be allergic too all forms of chocolate.

  3. This sounds familiar on MySpace Takes on Google News and Digg · · Score: 1

    I just can't place it. It sounds like a site I read daily... something about nerd news or whatever.

  4. Top 100? on IT's Big Spenders · · Score: 1

    I guess CIO Insight didn't spend enough in R&D to come up with a top 100.

  5. Re:List of new stuff on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    I missed the fact that streaming WMV doesn't work and what I thought was a streaming audio through flash.

    I'm not debating the quality of WMV. However when a site had content you want to see, and that's the only option, I'm going to complain that the Wii browser does not support it.

  6. It works on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    This post was done with the wiimote. Certain pages however still don't work well. The auto word finisher works great.

  7. Re:List of new stuff on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    I always had trouble with flash videos and wmv's playing.

    I'd like to know if they've patched this in the new version so sites with those elements work better?

    Profit!!!

  10. Sweet! on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 2, Funny

    Now I never have to go outside to know what the weather is like, I can just play video games.

    Living in the basement just got better!

  11. Cost vs. Performance on Apple Ships 8-Core MacPro · · Score: 0, Troll

    My biggest gripe with Mac is the cost. I could make a PC for half the cost and the same system specs.

  12. 42 on Nvidia To Recall Every 8800 GTX/GTS Card · · Score: 1

    This post was rated 42, thats the only reason I read it.

    I searched and searched, but found no answer to life, /. you failed me again.

    Now I'm going to have to go to the bar again and see if any drunk chicks have the answer.

  13. Bad question on 48% of Americans Reject Evolution · · Score: 1

    Given the straightforward question, 'Is evolution well-supported by evidence and widely accepted within the scientific community?

    If you answered "No" to that you're not rejecting, or supporting, evolution at all it. All you're doing is saying "No" to one of the two situations in question, evolution well-supported or accepted in the scientific community. This is simple logic here if one of them is false the whole statement is false.

    If you asked the straight forward question, "Do you believe in evolution?" and then 48% of the responses said "No", then the title on /. would be more accurate. Assuming a reasonable sized population to get a reasonable probability.

  14. Will The iPhone Kill The iPod? on Will The iPhone Kill The iPod? · · Score: 1

    No.

  15. Blame the poll game on Who Plays the 'Blame the Tech' Game? · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Contributing factors on CD Music Sales Down 20% In Q1 2007 · · Score: 1

    PS: Kids! Get off my lawn!!!

    From the sounds of it, they're anywhere but your lawn.

    Except the potential for your 'bullet point #6' kids, when going home.

  17. Lost Data on Why Next-Gen Titles Cost $60 · · Score: 1

    Someone must have lost a $38bil file in the process of making the game.

  18. Can't forget USB on eSATA Connectors · · Score: 1

    1996: USB. It's got only one way to fit in the slot so most of the time you just guess if you have it facing the right way. If you didn't have it facing the right way you have to flip it around and try to jam it in the other way.

    2000: USB 2.0 Faster than USB, but still only works if you plug it in the right direction.

  19. Smarter? on Sport Is Unrelated To Obesity In Children · · Score: 1

    Well sport(s) may not make your BMI decrease, it sure does make you smarter. That's why jocks on sports teams always get straight A's.

  20. $10 for a $1 bill on Billion Dollar Handout To Upgrade TVs · · Score: 1

  21. 20 Must-have Firefox Extensions on 20 Must-have Firefox Extensions · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Must-have" I don't think you know what that word means.

    I know everything, just try to prove me wrong, hehe.

  23. Re:In Other News on Google's Academic TB Swap Project · · Score: 1

    I hate when senders check the Anonymous Coward button.

  24. Cops on In France, Only Journalists Can Film Violence · · Score: 1

    The so is effectively illegal to film that show there now.

    But seriously that means the law enforcement can't have cameras anymore (or has to turn them off if violence occurs)? Also if there is a riot that springs out you can't film it as evidence either. This seems like it could be a big problem and those were just minor situations that could arise.

  25. Since when? on Scientists Predicting Intentions · · Score: 1

    is adding versus subtracting a high-level mental activity?
