  1. Re:Personal flight will never be widespread on NASA Tests Flying Scooter For Commercial Take-Off · · Score: 1

    "World's worst personal air vehicle disasters"?

    'Cmon, you know Fox would pick it up as "When air vehicles attack!"

  2. Re:3D traffic = no gridlock on NASA Tests Flying Scooter For Commercial Take-Off · · Score: 1

    Could make road rage a bit less prevelant though.

    Yeah, all the causes of it would be dead already,

  3. Re:Ok, we get the idea already on David Touretzky Interview · · Score: 1

    It was actually Camp Chaos (campchaos.com) that did the Napter parodies with Metallica.

    They now have a few of them out, not just the original one.

  4. Re:Life without sleep on Coffee's Caffeine-Producing Gene Isolated · · Score: 1

    Well being in Denver, and KBPI being my favorite radio station there are a few things to not about his stunt.

    He got 2 hours of sleep a night, and went for longer than 3-4 weeks (I belive it got up to 6 weeks but don't quote me on that).

  5. Re:Sue yourself for copyright infringement? on More DeCSS Time-Warner Hypocrisy · · Score: 1

    While you do bring up a valid point that assumes that CNN has copyright for the link in question. INAL but it is my understanding that copyright is given to the creator, and Time-Warner's conglomerate didn't write DeCSS.

    Therefore, there is some hypocrasy because the same organization is doing what it sued to stop. Though I do not hold CNN as being hypocritical for posting the link, but editing it, and not mentioning it (which IMO any good news source should admit mistakes when made) is hypocritical.

  6. Re:One thing... on I Want to Blow Up Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    He doesn't own it.

  7. OT: Columbine on Soldier Of Fortune: Must Be 18 To Play · · Score: 1

    It was Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold that were terrorists at Columbine Why the hell do people all the sudden have to relate everything to that school? The place is only a few miles from my house (Luckily I go to a different school, in a different school district, because Columbine is at the North East end of Douglass county School District, where just a little farther apart becomes Littleton public Schools.) Anyway, tragedy happens, we must move on, bringing up bad memrories only hurts people (Image going to school the next day with all the publicized threats, especially to my school), the damn legislation should have required education on weapons (Banning won't help, education is the key.) But then to have people blame outlest of hostility (preventing further problems) as the source of the problems is idiotic. Following the same logic we should ban religion because some peope turn to it for support and end up getting messed up. I am sick of all this Columbine bullshit, just stop it. Common sense should take people further than hurting people by bringing up memories. W Mitchell

  8. Nice to see Carmack sticking up on John Carmack Enforcing the GPL on Quake Source · · Score: 1

    The Quake Lives author Slade baked up a half-assed excuse.

    Nice to see Carmack thinks it is a load of crap, and from his update:

    "If necessary, I will pay whatever lawyer the Free Software Foundation reccomends to pursue this."

  9. Re:I guess not on Hazards of Genetic Engineering · · Score: 1

    I think genetics is really more important for medicine. Do you want to eat food genetically altered? Why? Natural food tastes good, therefore i don't need to eat that shit.

    Hate to say it, but someone has to. Shit is natural, as is cyanide and other various poisons. Cyanide for example is present in the seeds of apples, something that is natural that can kill you (when in appropriate dosage is consumed). Therefore saying that because it is natural does not mean it is good.

    And besides, personally I hate brussel-sprouts and those are natural. They taste bad to me, and I would rather eat a genetically altered brussel-sprout that tastes good.
