  1. Re:Older SF fans might disagree with you on Fighting Android Sparring Partner · · Score: 1

    ...hey, I'm 21. I grew up on Star Trek. ;) When I think "android" the first thing that pops into my head is "Data" from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

  2. Re:Interesting... but... on Fighting Android Sparring Partner · · Score: 1

    LOL... Okay, I looked at your message and was like ".....huh?" and then I saw your name and about fell out of my chair.

  3. Re:Please, no on Fighting Android Sparring Partner · · Score: 1

    Hey, I can deal with Lor as long as we get rid of the jerky movements. ;)

  4. Interesting... but... on Fighting Android Sparring Partner · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I always hate it when I see something about "androids" in the news. When I think of an android, I think of Data from Star Trek or something. I don't think of a stiff, plastic looking, herky-jerky, oversized toy. I wish they would get to making some cool androids that can actually do more than three or four very basic things. Bring on Data!

  5. I'll stick with my .com's and .net's.... on Dotless Top Level Domains? · · Score: 1

    I don't like it, and I think they are just trying to figure out how to make some cash.

  6. I can see playing games on the PSP, but... on LocationFree Television In Tokyo · · Score: 1

    ...I don't see watching TV on it. I'm sure people would like to, but it seems a little over the top. I think everyone needs to step away from the TV at some point, and being able to carry it around with you on a PSP or other device just seems excessive to me. I bought a PSP to play GAMES, not watch TV. I wish the lines between the differences in certain products would stop being blurred into one another. From MY experiences, even in name brand products, a device made for ONE thing usually does that ONE thing really well, and a multifunction device usually has shoddy features and could be better. Eh... whoops, I think I started venting a little.

  7. Wow... on Company Develops Microwave-powered Water Heater · · Score: 1

    I want one! Around here, when someone wants to take a shower it'll be twenty minutes before anyone else can without getting frozen like a popsickle. ...and don't dare think about two people taking a shower at the same time, unless you're going for a thirty second rinse. We have three showers, but the hot water heater just doesn't cut it. It's electric by the way. Maybe I should skip my new computer upgrade to find a new water heater......... nah!

  8. Incredible... on Living Photos Use Bacteria as Pixels · · Score: 1

    That's absolutely incredible that they can do it, but how long would these pictures last? Seems like they wouldn't last very long.

  9. Wow, I think it's a good idea. on Barenaked USB Drive · · Score: 1

    I'm not a big fan of the Barenaked Ladies but I think they've got something good going here. The price isn't unreasonable, the drive would be handy, and for this many songs... I dunno, I just think it's a pretty decent deal. I think the bit rate should be a little better though.

  10. Re:whatever on Review: Mario Kart DS · · Score: 1

    Umm.. I didn't say they were bad, but I do think any game of today should have graphics BETTER than early 90's graphics. I enjoy my ZSNES just as much as my old Super Nintendo, and when I want to play a game made in 2005 I'd expect it to look like it was made in 2005... unless they were just going for the retro graphics, somehow, I don't think so.

  11. I'd thank Google... on How Text Ads Tamed Ads on the Wild, Wild Web · · Score: 1

    I make a pretty good chunk of change from Google's text ads. I love them. Google itself has changed the face of the Internet in several ways. (This is just my opinion.) I think their widely used popup blocker is what helped make popup ads almost totally disappear and I think because of them X10 isn't the monster on the Internet is used to be. I'm 110% for Google in most cases.

  12. Re:Lifetime aint always that long on How To Write Unmaintainable Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wow... the only reason they upgraded was because the guy died. That guy should feel pretty good.... wait, he died.

  13. Shame on the RIAA... on President of RIAA Says Sony-BMG Did Nothing Wrong · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the President of the RIAA bought any of the music CD's Sony loaded down with that crapware? Yeah right. It's funny how he's accepting it, because it just makes the RIAA look even worse. Even Sony went back and made a fix for it, so they acknowledge that it wasn't right. President of RIAA = Idiot

  14. Re:YEAH! on Review: Mario Kart DS · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the exact same thing... It's almost 2006 and we're still playing games from the early 1990's.
