  1. Re:I wish they would sue those boom box cars on Boston University Student Challenges RIAA · · Score: 1

    Woah! Are you saying the music is so loud that it ripped a hole in space-time!?

  2. Re:It's not "lesser/greater" its the strange evolu on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    I can't remember his name at the moment. But there was a scientist who raised a chimpanzee along side his own son. He discontinued the experiment after his son started immitating it, instead of the intentended cause of the chimpanzee immitating human behavior.

    5. Looking up unrelated topics to avoid doing actual work.

    I can't count how many times I get distracted by Wikipedia.

  7. No pain no game! on The Last Games You'd Play? · · Score: 1
    Get it? No game? Hahaha!

    And you're not very old at 44. If you're in that much pain now, it's going to be a bitch in 20 years.

  8. Re:Why waste valuable time and money? on Scientists Try To Make Robots More Human · · Score: 1

    Space exploration.
    It's not practical to send humans on a long journey to figure out what the probe couldn't. The more human like robots can think, the better. It can play hide and seek, which means it's a great leap in the ability of robots to analyze their enviornment and act accordingly.

  9. SOLVE ALL CONFUSION on Every Time You Vote Against Net Neutrality, Your ISP Kills a Night Elf · · Score: 1
    Confused about what the terms mean because they're used for everything?

    This answers all problems.

  10. Fail? on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 1
    because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines..... you're not going to know anything.... You're gonna fail.

    Really? I sleep in every one of my classes, barely pay attention, piss off teachers, and spend most of those waking hours playing video games.

    I'm passing, with 90% in most of my classes. Perhaps some of us are just bored with your unstimulating reality of constant repetitivness that is school and work.

    "If we simply rush in, who knows what could happen?"

    Won't know till we rush in.
    Oh, and evolution doesn't happen over a span of 50 years, much longer then that.

  12. Re:Boycott on Firefly Fans Fight Back Against Universal · · Score: 1

    I was going to watch that crap in the first place?
    Wow, I must by psychic and I can boycott bad movies before we decide to boycott them!

  13. Re:Simple Child Care on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 2
    My middle school had rules against us running. They were generally ignored and the only consequence was getting yelled at, but the rules were in place.

    Heck, even during field day(day we spend outside in a make-shift carnival) whatever the major game was, they let everyone win. It was really annoying.

  14. Re:I'm starting to feel very lucky... on Survey of Super Massive Black Holes Completed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess it sucks for you then.

  16. Re:what? on Geekspeak Baffles Web Users · · Score: 1

    I'd have to say IM is used mostly in the US. If someone says AIM, they're probably talking about AIM. Although, I've never heard PVR spoken aloud. I hear DVR fairly common, or Tivo, even if it isn't Tivo.

  17. Re:The article doesn't say the Daily Show is good. on The Daily Show as Substantive as Broadcast News · · Score: 1

    I wanted to add more, hit submit too early. =/ "American TV news is a joke." Literally. =D It's rather sad because the Daily Show and the Colbert report provide more information in their half hour runs then any major news network does in over an hour, or however long it runs. They're mostly full of crap that isn't really news anyway. I don't care about X celebrity and their recent parking violation, sighting, photo op, movie, ect. ect. I'd rather know about how the fuck a bill was passed that gives Bush MORE power to piss all over the Bill of Rights. Now, I admit I don't watch major news networks regularly. But I haven't seen one mention of it anywhere except the Daily Show and various internet news sites.

    No roles have been confirmed for Star Trek XI, nor is there any credible information definitely pointing to any actor or actress in any part in the movie. There have been a number of rumors and some well-sourced speculation, however. - Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_XI#Cast
