  1. Re:Amazing on Man Sized Sea Scorpion Fossil Found · · Score: 1

    Except the part where it was more like: Animal "Pete":"Hey Dave! Look at those yummy proto-acacia leaves. They're so just perfectly at mouth level!" Animal "Dave":"Ya, good for you stretch! I'll go find something else to eat..." (Dave starves, the pwnies at all the food at his height level). Acacia "Joe" (The one being eaten):"Pesky proto-giraffes! It sucks being the family midget!" Next Gen Animal "Pete Jr.":"Hey! Look at those yummy acacia leaves. Good thing I'm tall like Dad!" Next Gen Acacia:"Pesky proto-giraffes! I wish I was a giant like cousin Vinny!" NG NG NG Giraffe:"Hey! look at those yummy acacia leaves. It's a good thing they're, like, 15 feet up in the air. Nobody else can reach them, but me!" Acacia:"Pesky giraffes! I wish I was taller like cousin Vincent!"

  2. Re:But... on Sun to Create Underground Japanese Datacenter · · Score: 0

    Yes, I know and foresee the moaning. But after RTFA I still have no legitimate comment. Not even another meme. I got nothing on this one.

    2. Positively charged particles, hereafter referred to as "positrons".
    3. Neutrally charged particles, hereafter referred to as "antineutrons".

    5. The placement of (1) in a cloud-like orbit around (4).
  5. [insert color initial here]SOD on Microsoft Windows 7 "Wishlist" Leaked · · Score: 1

    I'd like a new color for my Screens of Death(TM). Perhaps yellow to counter the blue screen burn on all my Windows machines.

  6. Health issues? on Stopping Cars With Microwave Radiation · · Score: 1

    I can already foresee them using this on some old woman whose car is out of control, thereby terminating the poor old woman as her pacemaker goes haywire. Not to mention the Borgs... once and for all the Borgs will be the ones hearing resistance is futile...

  7. Re:But don't worry ... the democrats are in contro on Bill Would Tie Financial Aid To Anti-Piracy Plans · · Score: 1
    It doesn't really matter where the politicians are in political spectrum as long as our politicians are as easily bought as a box of cigs in Japan. As the great book(let) says:

    We the People of the United States, in Order to form more wealthy Aristocracy, [...] do relinquish our Rights and Property to the Government of the United States of America.
  8. Re:Why not just use the DL at first? on Facial Recognition Vending Machine Debuts · · Score: 1

    Well, from an American viewpoint (which may or may not apply in Japan), inserting one's driver's license/other photo ID into a machine might seem like a potential identity security breach. But /> where are there not potential security breaches in today's world?

  9. Re:Build a better mouse trap... on Facial Recognition Vending Machine Debuts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And of course, what about people who look older than they actually are? I had a friend in high school who liked he was almost thirty before he even turned twenty.

  10. Re:Bias in the study? on Study Says P2P Downloaders Buy More Music · · Score: 1

    Correlation doesn't always equal causation, but they might share a similar cause. I don't buy CDs, I don't use P2P to get it either. Both are the results of the fact that I hate 90% of modern music.

  11. Well... on Claim of a Blu-ray BD+ Crack · · Score: 1

    What can't SlySoft do? I'm not surprised.

  12. Re:Not CMYK, Something Simpler on GIMP 2.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, that's the complex way to draw an anti-aliased circled. I can draw an anti-aliased circle in MS Paint too though, trouble is, it takes about pi px*diameter px*anti-aliasing repetitions*about 4-some big number depending on your preferred style of anti-aliasing in Paint.

  13. Re:You're making a poor assumption on Identity Thieves Not Big On Technology · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough being the kind of person I am I don't see why anyone would ever get rid of any part of a computer that works. Heck, I've got chipsets that are almost as old as me (a VIC-20, yes, a VIC-20).

  14. Re:Where Burger King and Toyota got it right on British Intelligence Inserts Job Ads Into Games · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but show me a dedicated boxer who reads the ads in the middle of a fight.

  15. Re:X-Fire is awful on XFire Hits 8 Million Users, Releases Bevy of Stats · · Score: 1

    That doesn't sound familiar at all. So I proceeded to install the xfire to see if my memory had failed me, and it hasn't. Only thing it just installed was the Xfire messenger.

  16. YES! on Finally We Get New Elements In HTML 5 · · Score: 1

    Now I've finally got three more ways to do the same old thing and confuse all the people I try to teach HTML to!

  17. Re:Put their money where their mouth is on Music Piracy Documentary Released As Torrent · · Score: 1

    Exactly, we (Americans) must preserve the few fair use rights we have remaining. Further confusing the ignorants by blurring piracy and fair use definitely will not help and I'm sure many are aware the MPAA and RIAA would be glad to see fair use rights gone.

  18. /.ed on US Government Checking Up On Vista Users? · · Score: 1

    Not only (from what I hear) is this lame BS, the link is apparently slashdotted...

  19. Re:Doh on Scanner Spots Open Source Installations · · Score: 1

    Are you implying that the high end versions of Vista (read Vista Ultimate) is that much better than Vista Home Basic? Especially considering the nearly $400 price tag (twice that of Home Basic) for the retail box of Ultimate it doesn't have that big of an advantage.

  20. No Recording on Live GTAIV Demo Dominates Take Two E3 Event · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Messenger not responsible for the Message on Aussies Sue Over Misleading Google Ads · · Score: 1

    If they advertised for those the cops might like that television station, doing half their job for them...

  22. Bad email service? Move on... on Hotmail vs Goodmail · · Score: 1

    Recently a friend of mine sent me an email. When I replied, her email system blocked my email because it was from a g(oogle)mail address and apparently they believe all g(oogle)mail addresses are spam. In my opinion, if email providers refuse to reliably deliver emails, its time to move on to another email service provider. Not as if there isn't a million under the sun, many quality services are free and provide top of the line spam filters. Throughout the time I've been using g(oogle)mail, only once have I had to remove a trusted email from my spam folder, and never have I received spam in my inbox.

  25. Re:This makes no sense on CIA Declassifies the "Family Jewels" · · Score: 1

    The GGGP refers to a constant state of war. War has stopped and started again many times since the intelligence being released now was vital to national security. Furthermore, the enemy has also changed many times. Thus we have different loopholes and different people to spy on.
