  1. Re:this thing is flamebait! on Canada Moves to Keep Skilled Workers · · Score: 1

    Actually, the discussion started out to become the basis of your call of flamebait. The story itself just asked an "innocent" question asking if anybody WOULD want to stay in Canada if given the chance. If an article posted a link to a site with pros and cons of the new consoles and asked which console the /. community would buy, would you call it flamebait? Maybe you would, but I wouldn't. Besides...nothing bad up here in Canada. Just a couple of icicles hanging from your ears once in a while...

  2. Water Temple on Dead Chinese Gamer Wasn't A WoW Player · · Score: 1

    With piracy so rampant in China, I was surprised that there were no news of a Chinese gamer committing suicide after trying to beat the water temple in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Now THAT'S something to commit suicide over.

  3. I am thankful for... on Behind The Curtain On T-Day · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...computers and positive karma on /.

  4. Illegal on Google Blocks Porn In Base, Patches Appliance · · Score: 1

    I thought Base's set of rules indicated that one cannot post only ILLEGAL or non-consexual pr0n as I have mentioned here.

  5. Re:Grass grows from the root. Mod parent up. on Grass Grazing In Dinosaurs Confirmed · · Score: 1


    I don't see how large herds of grazers could exist for more than a very short while if it weren't for a resilient, bottom-growing plant like grass.

    I'm surprised that an intelligent design didn't attack this part of the thread yet.

  6. Awesome on Einstein's Biggest Blunder That Wasn't · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Will Einstein's genius never cease to amaze us post-humously? Probably not.

    This will be a great thing for students to look up if they are doing (or going to do) relativity in school.

  7. Don't try this at home on Living Photos Use Bacteria as Pixels · · Score: 1


    The photos were created by projecting light on "biological film" -- billions of genetically engineered E. coli growing in dishes of agar."

    "Please keep out of reach of children's mouths. In fact, your's too."

  8. Nice... on First Silicon Laser · · Score: 1

    ...but will it be worth it to drill billions of holes into silicon to make lasers? I don't think it will be cost efficient until there are advances made in nanotechnology.

  9. Child dies after parent's viper escape tank on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    Parent sues pet store owner.

  10. Re:Gary Glitter child-fucking in Vietnam on Grass Grazing In Dinosaurs Confirmed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is there a point for the parent to post a news report about a pedophile in a dinosaur thread?

  11. If TreesExist == true, then GrassExist == True? on Grass Grazing In Dinosaurs Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Personally, if there were a lot of trees in the past, I think that there would have been more than a lot of grass. And if there were leaf chomping dinos, there were grass chomping dinos too. Besides...Were stegosaurs intelligently capable enough to actually attempt to reach anything positioned higher than 1m above ground level?

  12. Re:easy on Where Is The Metered Pay Model For Online Games? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is because in Asia, a lot of gamers hang out in Internet cafes where they play the MMOs and pay their metered rates ALONG with the cafes' rates.

  13. I want a Theory of Relativity Week on Beginner's Guide to Quantum Entanglement · · Score: 1

    So I can study it.
    It's the international year of physics to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Einstein's publication of his General Theory of Relativity and my Physics 11 teacher slapped the theory of relativity into my classmates' faces (and mine) right after we finished work, power, and energy unit.

    I'd be grateful if somebody would declare next week as the official, "International Week of Relativity" and release lots of info on the subject because the UNIT test is next week.

    On the other hand, the article is very informative and enlightening for students like me who haven't even skimmed the top of "spooky action."

    (The reading speed of your eyes, relative to the typing speed of my fingers, is VEEEEERRY slow.)

    P.S. Either it's just me, or you can scroll infinitely downwards at the site in the article.

  14. Re:Uhm... on Is the Earth in a Vortex of Space-Time? · · Score: 1

    The Earth is already being sucked into a vortex of idiocy. I don't see how a spacetime vortex will augment the problem.

  15. Kids these days... on 5000 Cylinder Recordings Placed Online · · Score: 1

    Dem kids don't know how good they have it these days. Babbage Calculating Machines and rootkits...Bah! Back i' my days, them Sony-cans made backdoors in the houses that caused drafts many a day! And nearly everybody died of the flu! It's all because of them darn dangled Spainiard pirates! (so Sony says...)

  16. Geeks * on Have Geeks Gone Mainstream? · · Score: 1

    The only reason interest in CS has dropped is because only the smart geeks and nerds who spent their time studying upside-down in trash cans are the ones who take it.

    As for the minority of women, well...You don't see a lot of girls upside-down in trash cans, do you?

  17. Re:Oh goodie on Lie Detectors to be Used for Airline Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    What if they're ninjas? Everybody knows that ANYTHING in a master's hands is a deadly weapon.

  18. Hmm...Porn? on Google Base Launches · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sexual Content
    (Adult) Posting is not permitted for the promotion of child pornography or other non-consensual material.

    Does that mean people are allowed to post most of their pr0n? That would be...disturbing...Interesting for others, but not for the soccer moms.

  19. What in the world? on Man Cures Himself of HIV? · · Score: 1

    If this guy DID cure himself of the HIV virus, then this would be the turning point in medical science! Maybe he had the delta 32 gene in him? Like the one this article had reported on. Or at least some mutation of it...

  20. Look Alike on Can Anthrax Be Controlled? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cocaine and anthrax both look alike and both are VERY hazardous to one's health. Is there a difference? You be the judge.

  21. Re:Who cares? on Can Anthrax Be Controlled? · · Score: 1

    Is that why I can't see the Colonel smiling these days?

  22. Re:Now that's what I call on Ancient 'Godzilla' Crocodile Discovered · · Score: 1

    Although it didn't work out, you can still see the remnants downtown.

  23. Re:Pretty Clever on Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously · · Score: 1


    If I had a nickel every time I wished I had a shot gun...

    You'd have a nickel!

  24. Clones on The Reality of Patent Expirations for the NES · · Score: 1, Insightful


    Even if it is okay to sell/make clones of the NES hardware, the actual games themselves (well...most of them) are still protected by copyright(s). The NES came out in the 80s, and copyrights last at least 30 years. I don't see any Transformers yet, so I don't see the games themselves out of copyright yet. Time to pull out my electronics tools.

    P.S. Overly critical guy: You're not critical. You're flamebait.

  25. Re:This would be fun... on RISK The Game On Google Maps · · Score: 0


    If I had any friends to actually play with :( Isn't the purpose of the computer to replace them?! Then why are there no bots!

    Why? Because Google's bots will come in, and search up a google of sites about Risk strategies and pwn you!
