  1. Re:Please help me think of the right tag on Ray Kurzweil Wonders, Can Machines Ever Have Souls? · · Score: 1

    "flyingcars"

    Wait, so what would happen to that tag once we have flying cars?

  2. Re:Oh great... on Supreme Court Holds Right to Bear Arms Applies to Individuals · · Score: 1

    Basicly, some people want to ban "assault rifles" because they look scary. If we painted them day-glow orange and had pictures of kittens and unicorns on them, they would be OK.
    So if we got them to look like this, they'd be ok, right?
  3. Re:Yes on Some People Just Never Learn · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm not so high up on the corporate ladder, so I prefer to call them "Upper Management".

  4. Re:How long does it last on Brain Changes When Viewing Violent Media · · Score: 1

    Okay, but how long does it last? Given the fact that I am not very likely to take off my shoe and bludgeon the person in front of me in the theater to death, how does this effect my likelyhood to do the same thing after the movie when I see someone I am not fond of?


    I don't know about you, but I'd say that the likelihood of me bludgeoning the person in front of me in the theater to death increases depending on how loudly the person's phone rings during the movie, as well as how long the person talks.
  5. Re:This is very good news on Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives · · Score: 1

    No, just kidding. This looks like awful science, just like the 19th Century studies that confirmed the experimenter's prejudices that black people and women were inferior.
    Well, according to this article, two Italian doctors have written a paper saying that being Oriental is akin to having down syndrome. I'd say we're not too far off from returning back to awful 19th century science.
  6. Re:I'll bite... on Ron Gilbert Working on Penny Arcade Game · · Score: 1

    So...would the correct response to the parent be:

    "No! No! No! That was the response from the last insult."

    Or would it be:

    "You never did know when to use that one."

  7. Re:for years... on Windows Buyers Pay Patent Tax of $21.50 ? · · Score: 1

    Lottery Tickets? Pyrimid Schemes? Informercial diet pills and other psuedo medical/magical items? Spammercial male enhancement products? Cash contribution to cults? Rotten MAFIAA crap?

    Plenty of things to keep fools and their money parted.

    Don't forget Las Vegas.
  8. Re:As the demotivation poster says on Meetings Make You Dumber · · Score: 1

    Neither I nor U are in Teamwork. True, but there is a "m" and an "e".
  9. Re:damn mice! on Mice Cured of Autism · · Score: 1

    This is why mice are the smartest creatures alive. They get us to figure out ways to cure all of their diseases, and yet we're stuck waiting at least 10+ years before we get an equivalent cure.

  10. Nifty thing I saw at my last job fair. on Making Your Company More Visible at a Job Fair? · · Score: 1

    I'm in a similar position where the startup I'm working for is also looking to expand. In the last job fair I went to, the booth right across from the company I work for brought a little mini-oven along with them. With the mini-oven, they proceeded to bake cookies which could be smelled throughout the job fair tent. It was a pretty creative way of trying to attract potential recruits, however, they did have direct competition with a healthy lifestyle company offering health drinks/food right next to them.

  11. Re:Comments on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    ...somehow I'd be a little disturbed about the battle field conversations, due to the position of that clock...

    Sgt.:"Private, what in Sam hell are you doing!?"
    Private:"Sir, just checking what time it is, sir."
    Sgt.:"Damn it private, stop playing with your clock and push forward with the rest of the squad!"

  12. Re:Context on Massive Inc. Advertising Takes Off · · Score: 1

    May be possible if Deuce Bigalow is somehow involved in trying to take over the planet...but that in itself may have me thinking twice about getting the game...

  13. Great, ads... on Massive Inc. Advertising Takes Off · · Score: 4, Informative

    If game companies are now allowing ads into their games and claiming that it's a new revenue for them to help improve the quality of games, would it be possible for the game companies to actually LOWER the prices of the games because of the new source of revenue? ...Just a thought...

  14. Re:Why women only? on Top Ten Game Cliches · · Score: 1

    I hear a lot of complaints about how "the women in games are just sex objects" or how "women in real life don't dress like that", but you never hear anyone complaining about the guy wearing nothing but a loin cloth with maybe an animal skull on his head for a helmet. Nooo...it's almost always a problem with women in a bikini or skin tight clothing or something like that, but you never hear anything like that for the guys...then again, maybe it's just me...

  15. Re:KH2 on Square Enix Event Revelations · · Score: 1

    Actually, Square-Enix did release the sequel to Brave Fencer Musashi (US:Musashi Samurai Legend, Japan: Musashiden 2-Blade Master) in the US before it was released in Japan.

  16. Re:Office flowers on Japanese Develop 'Female' Android · · Score: 1

    I have to agree to what Richard Kirk said. I am currently interning in Japan, and sadly, women here are not given many of the opportunities that men have. This is due to the fact that when most women get married, they leave the company for which they work for to raise a family. The women I have seen working at the company I work at are usually secretaries or, at best, perform data entry. Things are changing, but I believe it will take a while for women in Japan to have the same opportunities as the men do.

  17. Re:This is nice... on Multi-booting Mac Intel Developer Machines · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm looking forward to being able to dual/multi boot OSes on one machine, but my friend may not share the same sentiments as I do. He's a Mac enthusiast and if he ever gets one of these machines, he won't know whether to hug it because of the Mac OS or to set it on fire because of it's ability to boot Windows. I had suggested that he do both, but that doesn't sound like a good idea either...

  18. Open Source Beer? on Free Beer That's Free as in Speech · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So...is there some kind of General Public License for beer similar to the GNU?
