  1. Re:Welcome back! on Safe Landing For Space Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying it takes special people to do this kind of work. Not. Me.

  2. Well... on Integrate iPod with Car or Risk Death · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've never almost died by trying to use my RF intefaced iPod on the freeway. Nope. Never.

  3. Welcome back! on Safe Landing For Space Shuttle Discovery · · Score: 2, Funny

    Um.... now... take off again. 16 more missions to complete the space station?

    Space shuttle pilot would not be the life for me!

  4. Memory Spot < RFID? on HP Announces Tiny Wireless Memory Chip · · Score: 1
    The Memory Spot is similar to radio frequency identification (RFID) chips, which are designed to store information that can be read wirelessly. However, there are several important differences. One such difference is range. Information on RFID chips can be read over relatively large distances, while HP said Memory Spot readers must be "positioned closely" to access the data stored on the chip.
    Sounds like they should be focusing on something that is an improvement...
  5. Wow... on Blender 2.42 Has Been Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Blender has really come a long way since we tried to use it to program our game Log Cabin Adventure in it back when I was getting my BS in CS. I always liked it's UI better than 3DSM but it seems like their feature sets are getting closer and closer as well.

  6. I bet they got... on Is Graduate School Useful in Today's World? · · Score: 2, Funny

    a graduate degree!

    Assuming they graduated from said graduate school...

  7. So there are two cases now? on Dell's Exploding Laptop Autopsy · · Score: 4, Insightful
    The Inquirer published a letter to the editor on July 4, purportedly from a second Dell customer (identified only as "Rich S.," an IT administrator from Pittsburgh) who suffered an exploding laptop.
    Maybe it is time for Dell to think about issuing a recall before someone gets hurt. Just think if someone was using their laptop near a other flamable/explosive substances when suddenly BOOM!
  8. Re:Q: "When Will Games Disturb Us? " on When Will Games Disturb Us? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A: As soon as we all play the Silent Hill series.

  9. No! Don't tell anyone!!! on Daily Exploit Releases Irk Both Vendors and Crooks · · Score: 5, Funny

    A direct quote from the IE team over at Microsoft: "Don't tell anyone about all our holes! Then we won't have to fix them."

  10. Re:Blockbusted on Sony 'Anti-Used Game' Patent Explored · · Score: 2

    Wii FTW indeed!

    On the flip side of not selling as many games, I think game stores (EBGames/GameCrazy/GameStop) would have to keep demos of everything so that potential customers could try them. That might solve this particular problem.

  11. Re:The birth of a new acronym: on The Sharpest Object Ever Made · · Score: 3, Funny

    pronounced KASK-feht? I like it!

    You are sharp as a CASCFET!

  12. The birth of a new acronym: on The Sharpest Object Ever Made · · Score: 5, Funny

    single atom tip formed by chemically assisted spatially controlled field evaporation: SATFBCASCFE. Sharp as a SATFBCASCFE... hmmm maybe not.

  13. Re:without being blatently sexist on Genetic Reason for Your Gadget Habit · · Score: 1

    Yes, this pretty much explains any kind of consumerism... it's an excuse for our society to exist. Finally!

  14. Re:The culture of victimhood on Genetic Reason for Your Gadget Habit · · Score: 1

    Soon we'll be forming our own AA/NA/NAACP...

  15. Clearly.. on Genetic Reason for Your Gadget Habit · · Score: 1

    This is a plot to get us all to buy The Matrix: Revolutions.

  16. Re:Hey, here's an idea! on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or... utilize the first 15 second of a thirty second commercial spot to present a static image that will catch the attention of a DVR user in fast-forward. If I were an ad executive that's what I would do!

  17. Re:Fine by me... on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 1

    Yes, now that Alias and Invasion are no longer on... what is left to watch on ABC?

  18. Re:This would not be pretty on ABC Wants DVR Fast Forwarding Disabled · · Score: 1

    The problem is that no one will boycott ABC over something like this. They will still watch their favorite shows on the network. As consumers we have the power to force the hand of the major networks on this issue but only if we work together.

  19. Wow! on New Human-Powered World Hour Record · · Score: 1

    That is one buff old man!

    However... only one extra Km/per hour? I'm not sure how newsworthy an event this is.

  20. Re:I sure hope so... on Rebirth of the U.S. Arcade? · · Score: 1

    ...and Defender!

  21. If... on Rebirth of the U.S. Arcade? · · Score: 1

    They get these, I'll be there!

  22. Smell-o-vision on Practical Applications of Smell Recordings · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yay! Now I will be able to smell decomposing bodies when I watch CSI...

  23. Re:Volunteers on China Getting 'Serious' About Spam? · · Score: 1

    More likely they are just volunteering to avoid being charged with "Crimes Against China" for NOT volunteering.

    You've got to love the communist system of involuntary volunteering.

  24. Wow! on Fyodor's Top 100 Network Security Tools · · Score: 1
    I (Fyodor) asked users from the nmap-hackers mailing list to share their favorite tools, and 3,243 people responded.
    Fydor is a popular fellow isn't he?
  25. This is why... on More PDF Blackout Follies · · Score: 2, Funny

    we should all just write everything down in pencil. Boo to technology.

    Or... they could just find a better technological solution. Seems like a no brainer to me.
