  1. Re:Dr. Evil doomsday device on Earth's Inner Core Rotation Slower Than Estimated · · Score: 1

    In a ship that looks remarkably like Johnston! etc.

  2. Re:Message from the "Other" matter. on Physicists Build Bigger 'Bottles' For Antimatter · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should be referring to 'Matter A or Matter B'. Or the Fighting Mongooses. That's a cool team name.

  3. Re:Uptime on Why You Shouldn't Reboot Unix Servers · · Score: 1

    It would, because to remove a table leg and put it back again, you'd need MS Carpentry Professional. You could get away with Standard, if you were only taking it off, putting it back is a Professional feature.

  4. Re:Nope on The Death of BCC · · Score: 0

    She's just big-boned

  5. Addition to not instead of on Automatic Life Jacket Detection For Drones · · Score: 1

    It seems like it would be a good additional resource in SAR, not instead of manned helicopters and trained SAR personnel. There's a limit to the number of expensive helicopeters and costly trained crews, using these in conjunction would enable a lot more area to be covered quickly

  6. Re:Watchmen vs Snakes on a Plane on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 1

    There was one. It was blue. Bazinga!

  7. Re:Duh on How Facebook Responded To Tunisian Hacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe the ones MySpace put off?

  8. Re:Got to love a privately owned public company on Why Eric Schmidt Left As CEO of Google? · · Score: 1

    Yeah but then Bruce Wayne really was also Batman, so he could maintain control with a utility belt and awesome car if things didn't go his way

  9. Re:Lush is not a typical 'cosmetics' store on UK Cosmetic Retailer Lush Targeted By Hackers · · Score: 1

    Australia too..I am greeted by the gently wafting smells every morning as I step out of the train station, on my way to work

  10. Re:Posibilities on Thunderstorms Proven To Create Antimatter · · Score: 1

    I think anti-sea bass are readily available, there might be a delay with the frickin' anti-sharks and the frickin' anti-matter death beams mounted on their heads

  11. Re:Prepaid SIMs on Vodafone Customer Database Breached · · Score: 1

    They don't in Aus either. Kinda the point of prepaid, you don't require a CC. You just buy the recharge vouchers over the counter at a number of different places.

  12. Re:Won't Be Long... on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 1

    Same here, you don't have to be legally 'married' with the bit of paper, you just have to be together (as in living together) long enough and she has a claim. She might not want or need half of the guy stuff, but she may well take it just for the annoyance factor. As i have discovered through experience as of late.

  13. Re:Won't Be Long... on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 1

    yes, because then you can use the extra gold on inflatables and prostitutes when the wife withholds.

  14. Re:Rule number one for breaking any law on Unwise — Search History of Murder Methods · · Score: 1

    Entirely possible, they can fly great distances and probably came from the same clutch of eggs. We got married in a church, someone told me "she's smokin'", someone else said "she's hot", and someone else said "she's smouldering". I thought they were being complementary, and that she just got a really good tan indoors somehow. And as it so happens she will soon be an ex-wife anyway!

  15. Re:Rule number one for breaking any law on Unwise — Search History of Murder Methods · · Score: 1

    My wife can only be killed by a wooden stake, so a drill press is not too far removed

  16. Re:Well... on Free Radicals May Not Be Cause of Aging · · Score: 1

    God help me I have to say it... In Soviet Russia, the vegetables eat YOU! I feel dirty now

  17. Re:Computers do what they are told to on When Computers Go Wrong · · Score: 1

    Yes..lessons learnt the hard way...

  18. Re:Discrete *wink* *wink* sound card? on Do You Really Need a Discrete Sound Card? · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of womens' beach volleyball

  19. Re:I'd like to see the hardware. on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 1

    And back up...and down again within the first 4 pages

  20. Re:I'd like to see the hardware. on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 1

    Interesting...right at this moment (Saturday evening) the site appears to be down...

  21. Re:You're watching Futurama... on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    Do mail order degrees in Murderology AND Murderonomy count?

    We still run NT...

  23. Politicians the World Over.. on Australian Senator Wants to Censor the Net · · Score: 1

    are much the same. Every country who has a democratically elected government, unfortunately has a percentage of nutjobs who speak from their arses. This one has found the nearest convenient bandwagon and jumped aboard, calling for something that is near impossible to implement, but sounds really really good to Mr and Mrs Average and their 2.5 kids, dog and mortgage. Mr and Mrs Average have no idea about how this could be implemented, or even if it is possible, but becasue a senator is crying "Protect the Children! For the love of God, think of the CHILDREN!" then he must be a great guy who is doing a bang-up job an deserves re-election when it comes around again. Here's another fine example of politicians trying to control what they have no idea about - the Australian Spam Act. Oh yes, the amount of spam flowing into my inbox has been dramatically reduced by THOSE laws.

  24. Pass the Torch on Dungeons and Shadows · · Score: 1

    I agree with a number of the comments above. There does seem to be fewer shops, or I've noticed that new ones open that close almost as quickly. The one that I (used) to buy from is still going strong and has been for almost 20 years. I suppose they offer something more to their customers - range, service - that makes them a success, and they're just getting bigger all the time. I can totally relate to the time constraints. Before kids, I used to play AD&D every Sunday, plus I played two or three Play by Mail games, and MERP, Palladium, and the one where you create super-heroes..the name slips my mind for the moment...The PBM's fell by the wayside..then AD&D became fortnightly...monthly..occasionally....now its been about 3 years or so. The good news is though, I'm breeding a whole new generation of players. My 6yo son found my AD&D books and asked what they where, and when I told him, he wanted to play. So out came the original red box Dungeons and Dragons set! He loves playing and I'm sure that his brother will as well when he's older. So WotC - I'm creating future markets for you. Long Live AD&D!
