  1. Re:Methane's short half life is a good thing.. on A New Angle on Martian Methane · · Score: 1

    There's a lot of sci-fi shows that say the aliens breathe methane to live. Well since we fart methane and breathe oxygen, do martians breathe methan and fart oxygen?

    We could use each other as space suits.

  2. Re:why? on Best Buy, Real and SanDisk To Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    If everyone had iPods, then no. I don't even know if this would be considered competition. This is just a service for those using their product.

  3. Re:Just what the world needs... on Best Buy, Real and SanDisk To Launch Music Service · · Score: 1

    Killing terrorists hasn't stopped terrorism. Killing door to door salesman won't stop them either. Have you ever talked to a salesman? Nothing stops them. They'll just pack a BV and keep knocking on doors.

  4. Re:Ho Hum on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 1

    My boss is looking into releasing some videos to iTunes and he said it is very favorable to the producers and not iTunes. He said the cut is 70% to us. Sounds like a great deal for a place with high traffic.

  5. Re:Where's the hardware? on Venice Project Aims For TV/Web Convergence · · Score: 1

    The great thing about it is that it will have near HD quality video, so it won't be like watching a video on YouTube. Plus it's supposed to have real shows and be organized in a manner similar to TV. I'm sure once it takes off they will have a developer create a remote control that will work along with it instead of using the mouse and GUI.

  6. Re:News programs ARE entertainment. on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    But I like both sides of a story. I just wish they would give both sides all the time, like when a grown man molest a child, why don't we ever hear from other child molestors on why the man was right. Or when those white guys dragged the old black guy to death from a the back of their truck, we never got to hear from the side of racists who find these acts to be good and not bad.

    I find all news to be weak and only concerned about ratings more than getting the news out. Now all stations seem to tone their news down so as not to offend republicans or democrates.

  7. Also, is it good for archiving on Hitachi Maxell Develops Wafer-Thin Storage Disc · · Score: 1

    These things sound very breakable, but how long do they last untouched, like for archival purposes. Do they deteriorate faster than CDs or DVDs?

  8. Re:I prefer... on Top Ten Geek Wallets · · Score: 1

    Cows eat other cows and people think that taste great. Cows don't go out and kill other cows, but farmers feed cows meat to fatten them up. Vegetarians wouldn't be good to eat because they don't eat meat. There's no meat to fatten them up. I say stick to humans. Hunting them would be fun as well, but that's a different topic on its own.

  9. Re:If you comply you should have nothing to hide on HOWTO Commit Corporate Espionage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you aren't doing anything evil why do you need secrecy (or privacy)?

    The government always follows this saying with "Do as I say not as we do." BTW Nice sig.

  10. Re:I Don't Know, Man on Illumninatus! Author Needs Our Help · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I always find it funny when people try to discourage people from doing good deeds. If you want to start a fund for Robert Jordan I say do it. I won't write a short essay on how I think it's a waste of time and how there may be some hidden agenda to buy drugs with the money.

    I understand discouraging people from replying to spam or supporting terrorism, but to discourage people from helping another person just seems like time wasted on everyones part.

  11. Re:Agreed.. on Linux Cell Phones Coming Q1 2007 · · Score: 1

    I read somewhere that it comes pre-loaded with ringtones taken from the movie "Revenge of the Nerds". So you can assign Ogre yelling "Neeeerds!" to your best friends ring.

  12. Re:Thanks, but.. on Top Ten Geek Wallets · · Score: 2, Funny

    But what if you got shot in the ass while grinding at the club. This happens to geeks all the time. The wallet would then either stop the bullet or deflect it back at the shooter. Hopefully killing the shooter. It's genious.

  13. Re:I prefer... on Top Ten Geek Wallets · · Score: 1, Funny

    Like humans. Why can't we eat humans? It's a natural resource that we don't use. Instead we take up more natural resources, like land, to keep their rotting bodies in. We could eat them, turn their skin to leather, and use their bounds for other great products. I would like a human skin wallet.

  14. Re:10 steps behind on Zune's Wireless Almost Totally Worthless · · Score: 1

    If apple does come out with a iPod phone, I'm sure people wouldn't mind carrying around a 2nd battery to compensate for the higher energy use. Do current iPods allow you to change out the battery?

  15. Dead Before Birth on Zune's Wireless Almost Totally Worthless · · Score: 1

    Without the Wi-Fi that will connect to the Internet, to at least get new songs from the Zune store, this media player is worthless. I would rather buy an ipod for its price or at least wait until iPod with true wi-fi comes out. Another stupid move by M$. There's a perfectly good product idea starring them in the face and they look right passed it.

  16. Re:I Feel so much safer on US Outlaws Online Gambling · · Score: 1

    Okay, that makes more sense. From the way you were describing it I was thinking brick store to cash in the prizes and thought that would cause problems. The online store makes more sense and would work.

    Do they have these exchange stores at a 7-11 or something? This is fine for the big cities, but how would someone in the sticks get paid?

    Tubes and pipes are totally different especially when it comes to the internets. Do you think Osama is laughing at America right now? He sits back, while our own government finds a way to destroy America.




    That's right, I said "internets" too.

    Hey next time give a heads up. I was eating when I clicked on the link. I do not enjoy eating puke.

  21. I Like the New Yahoo! on The Troubles With the Yahool Mail Beta · · Score: 2, Informative

    I agree the adds blow, but it doesn't mean that the new Yahoo mail sucks. I like the drop and drag feature. I like the fact that you can see all your mail instead of only 100 at a time. The calander feature at the bottom of the page is cool as well. Does this mean I will give up my Gmail account? No. I'll just keep both.

  22. Re:The two naked hosts on Television For an Audience 45 Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    Let's hope they picked Ingrid Swede and Scarlet Johansson.

    You didn't hear that it was Dustin Diamond and Paris Hilton representing the physical emobdiments.

    Also why are the people on the Pioneer Plaque white?

  23. Re:Europe goes intergalactic tonight on Television For an Audience 45 Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    My thoughts exactly. If you send a signal out there that no one has a receiver for, then how are they supposed to pick it up. What if we sent out an xm radio signal and all they use is FM and AM still? Maybe a better project would be to just hurl some garbage into space. Something they can actually look at and touch, then they could try to piece together what it all means.

  24. Re:Why? on Apple iTunes Upsampling Higher Resolution Videos? · · Score: 1

    - some studios may not be that adept at technology, and think that up-scaling a compressed video is a good strategy.

    Anyone in the video industry knows that up-scaling video is never a good idea.

  25. Re:Why? on Apple iTunes Upsampling Higher Resolution Videos? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't understand why they didn't forsee that one day i-pod screens would be larger, so they should keep everything in its native size (the largest SD resolution possible). I work at a mobile content company and we make video ringtones, but we have copies of all are videos at the highest resolution, because we know that one day cell phones and mobile devices will be able to handle the higher resolutions. It prevents us from having to re-edit all those videos. When the time comes, I just run a simple batch and all are videos are ready.
