    Yea that's it, piss off the whole world. That would be fucking hilarious.

  3. Re:Wait, wtf, NASA again?!? on Mandatory Brake-Override Proposed For All Cars · · Score: 1

    Yea, I had a Plymouth Breeze with a funky cruise control that would randomly decide you weren't going fast enough. All the sudden the car would start to accelerate all by itself, and you couldn't turn off cruise. The breaks would still stop the car.

  4. Re:Government promises to only use them for astero on Engineers Working On Swarm Of Laser Wielding Satellites To Deflect Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the same thing that keeps that from working is the same thing that keeps us from getting cooked by the sun.

    Wow, that's some wickedly distorted views on life.

    If you land right, you won't feel a thing.

  8. Re:Did this make anyone else think of MOOSE? on Baumgartner Completes 13.5-Mile Free-Fall Jump, Aims For Record · · Score: 1

    So basically to jump from the ISS, you need a rocket to shoot you the opposite direction as your orbit to at least slow you past the OMGIGD speed.

    HHARP is real, but it's not a weapon. http://www.haarp.alaska.edu/haarp/faq.html

  14. Re:"Novel solution"? on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    I don't drink, at all. Why the fuck do I need a breathalyzer in my car?

  15. Re:In a country that drinks wine like water? on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    I have a great uncle that did that up in Michigan. This was back in the 70's though. Got a bit tipsy, so he drove himself home, in the break down lane. State trooper stopped him and asked him if he was drunk. "Hell yea I'm drunk, why do you think I'd doing 5mph in the break down lane!"

    Not true. There are many cases of people getting DUI's while running their own equipment on their own property. It depends on the state.

  18. Re:the only drug? on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    If drugs didn't change people, they wouldn't use them.

    Heh, that's almost adultery....

  21. Re:What's in a name on World's First Quadruple Limb Transplant Fails · · Score: 1

    Probably because it's hard to find a compatible doner. That and all the parts matched. Would suck to get one leg from a 6'4" person and the other from a 6' person.

  25. Re:US Census TIGER/Line shape files? on Google Outlines AI-Based Number Reading For Street View Photos · · Score: 1

    A lot of this comes from the R.L. Polk database. Those guys hire out at minimum wage. Would you trust that data? I know a few guys that sat at a Denny's for a week just reusing info from a phone book for their daily logs. This will by a lot more accurate, since I don't know too many people that put the wrong street number on their houses.
