  1. Re:Seems within the law, for better or worse... on MPAA Sues Company For Selling Pre-Loaded iPods · · Score: 2

    My only possible qualm with that is that idea is if you copy the original, and the original gets busted, you have no way of selling it since selling is dependant on the original. Aside from that, good job.

  2. Bah, who cares? on EarthBound Fans Take Matters Into Their Own Hands · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm too busy playing my never released in America fan-translated Secret of Mana 2.

  3. Re:Before coming to a knee jerk conclusion read th on Stem Cell Research Bill Clears Australian Senate · · Score: 1

    True, the mitochondria are dependant on the egg that it comes from, and true, there would be a few rabbit exclusive proteins in the cell. Enough to make a difference? Probably. Enough to make the result not human? No.

  4. Re:Before coming to a knee jerk conclusion read th on Stem Cell Research Bill Clears Australian Senate · · Score: 1

    You seem to be mistaken. If you take out the DNA from a rabbit's egg, and put in human DNA, the result is a human, not a rabbit.

  5. Re:Identity on Groups Call For Investigation of MS Ad Service · · Score: 1

    12345? Thats amazing! Thats my password too!

  6. Re:how will this affect non-citizens on England Starts Fingerprinting Drinkers · · Score: 1

    >_ whoops. I guess that I did reply to the wrong guy.

  7. Re:how will this affect non-citizens on England Starts Fingerprinting Drinkers · · Score: 1

    Really? We live in a society where courts can condemn you without convicting you. If you are accused of murder, then you will always be known as a potential murderer, even if you are found not guilty.

  8. Re:FP on Fusing Design with Technology · · Score: 1

    Ha, but you posted so that you can't moderate, meanwhile I can still... CRAP!

  9. Re:5K isn't going to be enough on Computer Associates Offers Warranties · · Score: 1

    Really? I've seen viruses that try to force a harddrive to read from a part of the disk that doesn't exist. Lets see how long your harddrive lasts after it slams its arm into the casing every 10 seconds. I've also heard of ones that shutoff your fans causing your processor to overheat (unless the bios steps in)

  10. Re:"ultra" high def has been around for a while... on Ultra HDTV on Display for the First Time · · Score: 1

    What's next "Super-Duper" "Magnum" "mega-uber"


    Sounds like a new type of condom rather than type of HDTV.

  11. Re:nintendo is a game company on Wii Hardware To Be Profitable At Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    And don't forget to add a healthy serving of tentacle.

  12. Thats it? on Vista to Create 50,000 Jobs in Europe · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a Microsoft sponsored study, I'm suprised that they didn't say it would create 20 billion new jobs, cure aids, end world hunger, capture osama bin laden, find WMD in Iraq and still be simple enough for someone as stupid as Bush to use (ok, that last one might be stretching it)

  13. Re:article pulled, inaccurate? on Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250 · · Score: 1

    Dude, gamecube's launch price was $200, not $250.

  14. Re:Wii or calculus on Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250 · · Score: 2, Informative

    I remember reading somewhere that the Wii can output to VGA. Found it, http://cube.ign.com/articles/522/522559p2.html halfway down the screen.

    Wait... so you are saying I spent all of this time next to this core of pure uranium for nothing? Damn.

    Eh? whats that from, could you provide a source?

  17. Re:Paid software safer? on Concerns Over Security Software · · Score: 1

    Wow, if it has enough security holes to be able to be patched four times a day.... then you might wanna look somewhere else.

    Wait, asbestos is bad for you? *cough* I feel fine *hack* I mean its white gold, it can be *wheeze* used for anythi *keels over*

  19. Re:Bad science and math on Another 150,000 Years of CO2 Data · · Score: 1

    "Actually, studies of just this have indicated that changes in the sun's output account for about 30% of the changes in global temperature. That's significant to be sure, but still leaves 60% to be accounted for from other sources." Ok, so what is the last 10%? Is it from sources other than the other sources?

  20. No, I'm old fashioned on HD Should Be Wired, For Now · · Score: 1

    I prefer cat-5 wires running all over the house. How is THAT for old fashioned?

  21. Wow, good news. on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    Wow this is really good new.... aww hell I'm too depressed to finish writing this comment, where is the icecream?

  22. Re:Blockbusted on Sony 'Anti-Used Game' Patent Explored · · Score: 1

    Actually they cannot put in a contract that you may only use the game on their system. That would be in violation of Anti-competitive charges. Its one of the things that makes emulators legal. You cannot force someone (by contract atleast) to use your product A with your product B. Windex cannot force you to use a windex brand squeegee with windex. Same principle.

  23. Informative? on The Sharpest Object Ever Made · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If your computer downloads content produced by OTHER players.... And then populates the world with them, I could see a problem. Look ma, my creature just got eaten by a giant goatse!
