  1. Re:Notable lacking features on Details On IE7 CSS Changes · · Score: 1
    Maybe with IE 8 they will be even more competitive with the browsers of today, standards-wise.
    But not, of course, with the browsers of the day IE8 is released.
  2. Re:Decline? or just plain incline on Google Adjusts Hiring Processes · · Score: 1

    It may be counterintuitive, but is it scalable?

  3. Dear testers, on Diebold Disks May Have Been For Testers · · Score: 1

    Please ensure election is rigged.
    Sincerely, Diebold CEO.

  4. Re:Ugh on How Practical are 20-inch Laptops? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    You couldn't even open that thing in an airplane seat.
    Can you even fit it in a legal carryon?
  5. How to sell out of consoles. on Hirai Expects One Million PS3s By End of Year · · Score: 2, Insightful
  6. Re:Coupled with this... on Next-Gen Console Exclusives Explored · · Score: 1

    The people in those herpes commercials are always kayaking. I'd be disinfecting the kayak rental store right about now.

  7. Re:It's not just this on What's Wrong With the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    And Guitar Hero is very clearly Guitar Freaks with two extra buttons.

  8. Re:Read the headline on iPod Killers For the Holidays · · Score: 1

    Is the iPod Killer anything like the XBox Killer? I hope they catch that guy before the holidays.

  9. Re:If Only.... on Details on the PS3 Online Service · · Score: 1
    Nintendo seems to have things going the right way with rumors of being able to download old nintendo games (whether it be for free or not we'll see).
    It won't be free, and they've never said it would be free. NES games start at 500 Wii points, SNES at 800, and N64 at 1000. 1 Wii point is 1y or $0.01US; I don't think they've announced what the pricing will be in Europe. (Hopefully E0.01)
  10. Re:My sig comes true on How the Nintendo Amusement Park Works · · Score: 1

    If your list is for what the people behind the theme park should do, step 1 is 'Use Nintendo's trademarks without permission.'

  11. My sig comes true on How the Nintendo Amusement Park Works · · Score: 3, Funny
    How park works:
    1. Get on ride
    2. Go 'Wiiiiiiiiiiiii!'
  12. Re:Government needs a Logic Advisor on Bush Reveals New Space Policy · · Score: 1
    Hell, having a plan to invade Canada on hand is a good idea.
    Is it as good a plan as last time? That one had Americans thinking they'd be greeted as liberators too.
  13. Re:West vs Islam? on A Gaming War Between Islam and the West? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Is it a Halal beef sausage wrapped in Turkey Bacon? Remember that cooking evaporates all the alcohol.

  14. Re:Serious questions ... on Creating Water from Thin Air · · Score: 1

    An absolute humidity number would be expressed in terms of mass of water per volume of air. If it's percent then it must be relative.

  15. Re:weapons? on Quantum Leaps in RPGs · · Score: 1

    A Rocket Propelled Grenade that could make Quantum Leaps would render anti-rocket technology useless. I suspect the technology would be applied to bombs and cruise missiles first. Who needs bunker busters when you can quantum tunnel into the bunker?

  16. Re:No mention for Digital Rectal Massage? on 2006 Ig Nobel Prizes Awarded · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now that's the kind of DRM we can all enjoy!

  17. Re:Fair and Balanced Vote Fraud on Dutch Blackbox Voting Pwned · · Score: 1

    They should give the votes to one Mr. Votingmachine Tamperer and his running mate Diebold Unaccountability. Or Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, since we can safely assume they won't actually be running. (right?)

  18. Re:The What? on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    As Bender said of Walter Cronkite('s head in a jar), "He's too trustworthy! What's his angle?" And now you know.

  19. Launching things with a ring... recursively on Magnetic Ring Could Launch Satellites, Weapons · · Score: 0

    If you're using a magnetic ring to launch things into space, the first thing you should launch is a magnetic ring to use for launching things back at earth.

  20. Re:Well.... Back in my day...... on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1
    ou may not always have your DS or PSP with you, but you do have your mobile phone.
    Speak for yourself. Some of us choose not to pay the T-Mobile tax, and my DS is a better alarm clock anyways.

    Actually it's Page. As in PageRank.

  22. Re:Uhm... he did more than fly... on British Man Trades Frequent Flyer Miles for Space Shot · · Score: 2, Insightful
    no sane person, regardless of business requirement, would keep up a travel schedule that ridiculous for that long without a break.
    Try http://www.flyertalk.com/. Some of those people fly that much just to earn the miles.
    Considering a circumnavigation of the equator is only 25k miles and London->Los Angeles is only about 5500 miles, it would take a LAX-LHR round-trip every two weeks without fail for six years to truly earn all that in real air miles.
    By around the fifth round trip he'd earn elite status and start getting redeemable miles equal to double the miles flown, assuming Virgin has a sane FF program. Of course, the fact that you can redeem those miles for space travel suggests insanity. I'm sure credit card miles were part of the picture too, of course.
  23. Re:Chance to shoot for a ride to space??? on British Man Trades Frequent Flyer Miles for Space Shot · · Score: 1

    You don't earn miles on award flights.

  24. Re:How about some hair regeneration? on DARPA Sponsoring Limb Regeneration Research · · Score: 1

    Hey, they already have spray-on hair. Why not spray on limbs? Doing some work on a precarious perch? Spray on a few extra legs for balance, and amputate them when you're done.

  25. Re:Reminds me of The Forever War on DARPA Sponsoring Limb Regeneration Research · · Score: 1

    I expect a stop-loss policy would trash that rule PDQ.
