  1. Re:I mention this on CERN Physicist Warns About Uranium Shortage · · Score: 1

    I suppose you've never heard of Cobalt-Thorium G. It has a radioactive half-life of 93 years! We can't allow such a dangerous fuel in our reactors! They might melt down and create a doomsday shroud. A lethal cloud of radioactivity which will encircle the earth for 93 years!

  2. Re:not really on Cheaper Car Insurance For Gamers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When you're in college, you learn how to pinch pennies. I live about 90 miles from my university, the whole trip going along a northish-southish interstate. About 4 years ago, the state raised the posted speed limit to 70 mph. I used to drive about 75, 80 on this stretch, until it rained heavily one night and I did 60 the whole way. I went up from about 28 miles to the gallon to around 32. When I started going 10 miles under the limit in favorable conditions, I got about 36-37. There is absolutely nothing illegal about going 60 on a 70. I've been doing this in a Honda Del Sol, one of the most diminutive cars on the road. So far I haven't been rear ended. Most drivers, especially truckers, see my rate and react accordingly. As long as I stay in the right lane, I'm not holding anyone up or harming traffic flow. And frankly, if you get pissed off for having to react to my slow moving vehicle, I'll get a rise out of your irritation and keep on doing what I'm doing. Especially if you're driving a huge SUV or a BMW.

    That's nothing, real men play with their girlfriend.
    While the titles in the long term look pretty good, it's that boring launch lineup that's got me looking elsewhere.

  4. Re:And the Downward Spiral Begins on Judge To SCO — Quit Whining · · Score: 2, Informative

    Stock analysts traditionally never give "Sell" recommendations. Therefore, a rating of "Hold" is the lowest an analyst is willing to rate any given stock.

  5. Re:Wait... on Illinois Ban On Explicit Video Games Is Unconstitutional · · Score: 1
    Are we saying that Greek social values are trumping modern day ones?I see more parades on the horizon...

    Don't forget the public vomitoriums, leading to the reclassification of bulimia from eating disorder to social disorder.

    What exactly does an exitway beneath the seats of a Roman ampitheatre have to do with bulimia's classification?
  6. Re:i remember when.... on Hell.com Domain Name Up For Sale · · Score: 4, Funny

    A lifetime at hell? Psh, I could score that for free.

    One thing is very clear from this: We cannot allow a mineshaft gap!

  10. Re:You left them out :( on Grass Grazing In Dinosaurs Confirmed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And how do they know that the grass doesn't come from the intestines of some critter that the dinosaur in question ate? Coming from a rudimentary understanding of paelontolgy, if a dinosaur with sharp, cutting teeth is found with grass in the stomach area, it would probably be assumed to have eaten a herbivore. TFA mentions that the droppings are of such a large size that they are assumed to be from a large sauropod, a type known to have the "gnashing, chewing" type of teeth exclusively.

  11. Re:Beautiful... on Jack Thompson Calls Cops on Penny-Arcade · · Score: 2, Funny

    A while ago, I typed in the address without the hyphen, the URL provided by Jack, and it was the personal website of a transsexual star. It's not there anymore, but that's just what came to mind when I read the letter. Judging by Thompson's record of homophobia and misrepresentation, this might have been intentional.

  12. Re:Why should it be surprise? on Space Tourism? · · Score: 1

    The question really is, will there be a company that lets you become a member of the 220-mile high club?
