  1. Re:Duh, they're CRAP... on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    Well, the point he was trying to make is that if you watch the show for five minutes you're really giving it no time to develop any sort of plot. I was watching this show with my friend (and we both have no idea who Wheddon is), and I have to say that after a few episodes on hulu, it really seems like there might be a lot substance to it. The first "five minutes" that you watched was simply the one of the character's that she had been programmed with. And in terms of "mind-wiped prostitutes" the whole point of the show is that it turns out they aren't completely wiped clean.

  2. Just thought I'd share... on Yahoo Rejects Another Bid From Microsoft, Icahn · · Score: 1

    Found this nifty little site: I thought it was hilarious. No idea who made it, though: http://yahoorezinr.com/

  3. Download caps on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Well, yes, if you're uploading daily 5 hour movies of your wedding in HD, then you'll hit your cap. I'm really not sure why you would be uploading that much in movies in such quality, and certainly don't know why you would be doing that on a daily basis, but yes, if that were the case there would be a problem. For the other 99.999% of us, I think 30 gigabytes in a DAY is more than enough.

  4. Re:YOU are clicking on every link! on AVG Fakes User Agent, Floods the Internet · · Score: 1

    What kind of search terms are you putting into google?!

  5. Re:Windows Update? on Firefox Breaks 8 Million, Gets Into Guinness · · Score: 1

    I'm not exactly sure how they could possibly differentiate for Firefox downloads, but it stated on the website that they had to be user-initiated downloads, so automatic updates from Microsoft wouldn't fit the bill.

  6. Re:Idiot on Text-Messaging Behind the Wheel · · Score: 5, Informative

    Did ANY of you actually RTFA (including the person who submitted it???)? Clearly, the group was created as a joke and she said in the article that she supports the law even if it would be hard to enforce. She says that although she does do it sometimes, she realizes it's stupid and dangerous and would follow the law if it were to become one.

  7. Re:Download Counter on Mozilla Outage On Firefox 3 Record Launch Day · · Score: 1

    anybody else notice if you try to open this in ie it displays incorrectly? did they do that on purpose?

    ah well that makes more sense - excuse my nastiness, please.

    This post, this post, this post, where have I read it before?

    Ah that's where.

    I know you want mod points but please - try to vary up the posts a little.

  11. Re:I can also produce a pdf with the same title on Google Accidently Revealed As eBay Critic · · Score: 1

    If this was the case, Google could and probably would easily deny that they submitted it.

  12. Re:Swing that razor one more time. on Cell Phones Aren't Killing Bees After All · · Score: 1

    When I read the first article about the cell phones, I thought this fungus explanation was well-known, and I was somewhat confused by the cell-phone theory. Apparently, my high school biology teacher has been keeping honeybees for about a decade now, but had to stop a year or two ago because he kept losing too many bees each year and didn't want to purchase them over and over. He attributed the yearly loss of honey bees to some kind of organism that I don't remember, some kind of parasite. Perhaps it is the fungus mentioned here. To him, it seemed to be common knowledge, so I took it as that...

  13. Re:+1 Funny. on John McCain's MySpace Page "Pranked" · · Score: 1

    Thanks for crashing my computer -_-. I really should have read the whole sentence before clicking the link. What could I possibly do with a giant white picture, anyway?

  14. How about: on The Science Behind the Bubbly · · Score: 0

    replace the word bubbly with "erection".

  15. Sorry, I just have to say this again: on Looking Beyond Vista To Fiji and Vienna · · Score: 1

    "According to a Microsoft spokeswoman, Microsoft recently placed an order for 500,000 CD labels, CD sleeves, and packaging boxes labeled 'Windows Server 2007', but has also ordered an equal number of small '8' stickers, 'just in case.'" - from www.gullible.info

  17. Re:European Price on SoftMaker Rolls Out Office Suite for BSD, Linux, and Others · · Score: 1

    Well, then, only explanation is that they purposely kept their prices at 69 in whatever currency they were working with. Hidden agenda with subliminal messages.

    Or just live in the dark. Like the mountain dew commercial, be nocturnal! That would save a lot of money.

    I thought we agreed a space elevator wouldn't work because of the radiation we'd be exposed to on it.

  20. Sure, but... on Another Small Step Before the Giant Leap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, it's nice to doubt the decisions made by NASA, but one would hope that if they announce a project of this scale they would have thought through their plan and considered other options first. Hopefully they know what they're doing with their next project if they've decided to funnel a few billion dollars into it?

  21. Re:Would've been nice if... on FSF Launches "BadVista" Campaign · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, they just launched the site yesterday, so I guess it's a work in progress. I guess they'll be posting things as they think of them.

  22. Fake? Obviously... on Online Store to Sue Blogger Over Google Ranking? · · Score: 1

    Look at all the comments that he got... have you ever seen so many capitalized and punctuated comments in reply to a post on a blog in your life? And this Dean Hunt guy seems to like the word hilarious... it shows up over ten times on the page. "# miked Says: December 9th, 2006 at 9:21 pm wow, came across this site via digg I'm amazed at hour stupid people can be. Hope you hear from this guy again soon!" Who mispells how as "hour"?? Poor guy, though. He must have spent hours thinking up comments from "different people". Or maybe they're actual comments. Hmm... I feel stupid. Oh well, I spent so long writing this thing I might as well post it.

  23. First thing I thought on Indians Use Google Earth and GPS To Protect Amazon · · Score: 1
