  1. I can't believe no one thought of this... on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Flip it over and climb underneath to prevent Major League Baseball from spying on you.

  2. Skeptic on Five Billionth Device About To Plug Into Internet · · Score: 1

    5 BILLION!?

    Hmm... considering the reliability of statistics I question what margin of error is used for this number. I further speculate with an argument for 'Picture or it didn't happen'.

    Or.... how bout a cool web counter!? Android Widget for +5 awesome! We could use radio contest winning concepts to be that 5 billionth person!

    0.o how exciting!!

  3. Re:hmmm on The Fuel Cost of Obesity · · Score: 1



    "HEY! Your missing the point entirely!! Your fancy numbers, reasonable comparisons and "mathematics" mean nothing when someone uses a word like BILLION!!"

    The sheer concept of a billion gallons makes me want to smack every fat person! They caused global warming!! BILLION = BIG! DON'T YOU GET IT!?! OMG WHAT'S HAPPENING TO AMERICA!!? WHY ISN'T EVERY NEWS ORGANIZATION RUNNING THIS STORY!?!? AAHHHHH..." [jumps off cliff]

  6. Re:Perfect game in less than 90 minutes? on Gamer Wins $1M For Pitching Virtual "Perfect Game" · · Score: 1

    >>>...or the first baseman running for a ball that should've been the second baseman's thus leaving first base empty.

    The pitcher should be on his way to first as soon as contact is made on a right-side infield grounder. If there's a bug in that essential aspect of gameplay... this game fails Baseball.

  7. Re:Bribes are an everyday part of business at time on HP's Moscow Offices Raided In Bribery Probe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hope these individuals are dealt with with the verocity China sets forth on individuals breaking laws of this caliber.

    It amazes me how ethical behavior has taken a back seat to profits (see: Massey Energy, Maydoff, and the cause of that... oh what was that thing... uh, oh yea, global recession).

    How many of you were awstruck when Google pulled out of China? I was taken aback. Shocked that I was shocked. And I asked myself why that is?At the threat of losing a huge financial opportunity, I was amazed that a company didn't take it lying down. They said 'F you' and threatened them back.

    That's the way it should be and the world needs more of it.

    Respect +10, Google.

  8. Hot off the *cough* newswire... on No Online Co-Op For Halo 3 At Launch · · Score: 1

  9. Re:MY script for the movie: on Diablo Movie Now in the Works? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can see it now...
    Sitting in movie theatre, on screen a Paladin emerges from the shadows slowly reaching for the treasure chest below him:

    Paladin: "Here it is. The Brainhew. +14 to Minimum Damage, +4 Light Radius, 10-14% Mana stolen per hit, and 15-35 fire damage. The legends were true..."

  10. Why does everything need 'bright colors'!? on Kodak Unveils Brighter CMOS Color Filters · · Score: 1

    ...and fancy lights?

    My Hitachi CMOS works fine without any fancy color filters. Case mods are getting a little out of hand these days...

  11. Re:give hima real punishment... on Spammer Robert Soloway Arrested · · Score: 1

    Perhaps some guidelines are in order here:

    - Force to use Outlook 2003

    - Start him off with a bulk, I dunno, 1 million to get started with.

    - Set 'Desktop Alert' to 20 seconds, 5% transparency and keep e-mails coming every 5-10 seconds.

    - Remove the Delete key thus enforcing Right-Click -> Delete.

    - Disable right-click hotkey


    That will stop ANY future spammer! Although, this may be worse than water boarding...

  12. Re:there's a reason it's called WorstBuy on Best Buy Accused of Overcharging · · Score: 1

    -famous for its shady, customer-hostile tactics
    -thrill of combat with idiot Stepford Staff who are trained to foil your every wish
    -highly-trained Twit Squad pressures you to purchase a more expensive model, or to purchase useless junk like protection plans.
    -The only time store staff don't bother you is when you need them.


    You say this like they are the first and only major retail chain to use these practices.

  13. "Yeah... on Why the Gaming-Violence Connection is So Comforting · · Score: 1

  14. Hmmm... on AMD Aims At New Standard for Motherboards · · Score: 1

    I can't find a board anymore that doesn't have PATA connectors sticking out the side of the motherboard because there's no room left (but I suppose this grandfather technology will soon be cast with my 5 1/4 floppies and Zip drives).

    But if a better solution is on the horizon, I embrace the foresight of smaller and better. Heck if we can put 2 processors on a chip half the size the standard was 5 years ago, why not embrace smaller motherboard technology.

  15. Finally... on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    About damn time. It's unfortunate that it took the Republicans to LOSE A FOOTHOLD in order to make this guy do something he should have done a year ago when people were calling for his oust.
    Now that his boss no longer has his iron grip, he's running because he knows he'll get the boot eventually.

    No, don't quit when you realize you've made bad decisions costing American's their lives. Quit when you'll be forced to. Don't take responsibility until you MUST. What a disgrace. Democracy has prevailed here. So long...

  16. Try this on Dealing with Posture Problems? · · Score: 3, Informative
    try Workrave

    http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft &words=workrave

    This is a pretty good program that pops up a reminder at set intervals, telling you to get up and stretch. If I'm not mistaken it provides stretching 'tips' as well. Forewarned that you need to take time to change the default settings once its installed. They are atrocious and you'll end up cursing me out for ever suggesting it if you don't. It'll also minimize full-screen games and what not.

    It's not posture-related but I came across another tip. Stick your finger out (I prefer index, but if your having a bad day make your choice) about a foot, focus on your finger for 20 seconds, then look in the area behind your finger for 20 seconds, repeat a couple times -- or until you start to hear people laughing. It's supposed to relieve eye strain. Works for me.

  17. Re:Political bribes are accepted practice nowadays on Rural Oregon Leads the Way for Large-Scale WiFi · · Score: 5, Insightful
    >

    I think it's more like: "Stop talking politics! What happened on Big Brother last weekend. OMG look what the girl is wearing!? Fat people SHOULD NOT be wearing Abercrombie and Fitch!?!" Wow. (Sorry, OT rant...) (Most) Americans are elusive and close-minded when it comes to politics. We have the big guys patting us on the head saying, "Everything will be ok. Don't think. Don't question. Go about your regular daily routine and everything will be fine." I met a 26 year old last night that said, "The President will pass the law for Christians. He can do anything!" My response: "No, he is not a dictator. Bills must be passed through the H.O.R and the Senate first." Her response: "Who are they!?!?" She could probably tell me Tom Cruise's foot size and what Jennifer Aniston had for breakfast on the second Monday in August though... Anyways, it looks like its starting to hit the fan finally with Rove, DeLay, Brown and all these other morons. About time. I thought the checks and balances system was done for. These people need to be strung up, cause the little guys are always footing the bill. (Now if I could just figure out a way to get high-speed from a non-conglomerate...) BTW, I'm from Dayton, OH--I think it was more like 45 degrees this weekend Alex...!
