  1. Re:Prey was a stupid book on Nanotech Gone Awry? · · Score: 1

    Well, it was a fiction book. Doesn't mean it was stupid, perhaps just unrealistic.

  2. Re:This will be GREAT! on Let Goofy Track Your Children · · Score: 2, Funny

    No but see, the Flying Spaghetti Monster put the shit there (with His Noodly Appendages) to fool you into believing that your neighbors had a dog. Until you can uncover a species that is the missing link between dog and poop, I'm afraid your logic is nothing but anti-religious hate speech.

  3. Re:A Violation of The Three Laws on Next-gen Robot Toys to Fetch Beer · · Score: 1

    Absolutely not. But fetching someone a Natty Lite when they wanted a Guiness is definately a violation of the Third Law.

  4. Re:great, just what we need on Next-gen Robot Toys to Fetch Beer · · Score: 1

    Do something like... build a robot to do things for me!

  5. Re:god on Negroponte Responds to $100 Laptop Criticisms · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Has anyone else noticed the correlation between how Catholic Africa is getting, and how much AIDS Africa is getting? Now, I'm no Jack Thompson, and in no way am I saying that correlation == causation. However, the Catholic's prerogative of teaching abstinence as the only safe sex, and demonification of any form of protection is not only making preventing AIDS difficult, but now blasphemous and immoral among the increasingly growing religious population. My $.02

  6. Re:And then... on Google Music Store Inches Closer? · · Score: 1

    You mean: Step Four. Get a few hundred people on Slashdot to argue about whether or not Google is now evil based on limited knowledge of any given situation.

  7. Re:But, But, But ... on Apple to Face iPod Clone Attack · · Score: 1

    I've only bought Creative mp3 players. Why? Cuz they're a bit cheaper than an iPod, and sound fantastic, as opposed to 'allright.' The only complaints people have? The interface. But since I like to hit 'random, play all,' I see no problem, and certainly no incentive to buy an iPod.

  8. Re:Apple doesn't need Ogg Vorbis. on Apple to Face iPod Clone Attack · · Score: 1

    I'm inclined to agree. Several studies have been done showing that the majority of peoples issues with the encoding of their music is attributed to a placebo effect. Unless it's at something ridiculous like 64 Kbps, most people can't tell at all. That means that a large percentage of people using the Ogg Vorbiz format aren't doing it because they think it sounds better, simply because they like to be elitest. MP3 is working fine for me and most everyone else, if the file sharing networks have anything to say about it.

  9. Re:Obvious homophobia on OMG GOOGLE ROMANCE <3 <3 <3!!! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey man, don't be so gay. That's not cool.

  10. Re:My calculations say ... on How Hot Would a Light Saber Really Be? · · Score: 1

    This all seems rather foolish...

  11. Re:the economics of it on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1

    You have it mostly right, but the first week is between 1 to 5%, and then, dependent on the picture, it moves up. If you keep one for 3 or for weeks, you just may make some money off the ticket sales. Theatres make all their money in concessions. That's why everything's so freakin expensive - it's all about huge profit margins where they can get em.

  12. Re:Stereoscopy? on Movie Theaters Aim for Live 3D Sports · · Score: 1

    At the WMA awards, duh. Ask the Gorillaz.

  13. Re:But... on Mozilla Firefox 2 Alpha 1 Available · · Score: 1

    Dammit. I knew I should have kept Clint Eastwood around for something.

  14. Re:Forced to pirate? on Info on Intel's Viiv DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe not the right, but it sure gives him a helluva good reason. So long as it's easier to buy then pay for something, people will generally pay for it. But if you want something, and nobody will sell it to you, and someone else says, "here, have it for free..." well, then thats where cause and effect come into play.

  15. Re:Come on on UK Demands Sourcecode for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I just can't understand you through the accent. Or perhaps the teeth? Go to a dentist ;) (just playin man)

  16. Re:Asians? on The Twists of History and DNA · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No, it wasn't cuz they had too much testosterone, it's because they were always fighting because they heard everyone else was bigger than them! This is known as the 'bigger dick' theory of history. All wars were started cuz one country's leader though some other country's leader had a bigger dick.

  17. Re:oooh... yes, define "superior" on The Twists of History and DNA · · Score: 2, Funny

    So basically, we're talking about Catholic School-girls who convert to Mormonism?

  18. Re:both tecnologies? on Next DVD Format War Still Wide Open · · Score: 1

    Actually, both HD DVD and Blu Ray use blue lasers. There's really no difference other than the proprietary technology involved (AFAIK, don't quote me on it).

  19. Re:Who wins? on Next DVD Format War Still Wide Open · · Score: 1

    I've seen CDRs like that. I think they were called 'Bulletbroof' or something. Quick google search doesn't turn anything up, but it did exist at one point.

  20. Re:Follow up on Tree Climbing Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not quite... being able to build and repair a tree climbing robot in three days is easy... getting a wife is the hard part.

  21. Re:duh! on Adult Gamers and Their Ulterior Motives for Gaming · · Score: 1

    That's why you play Battlefield 2. With proper planning and coordination (not the teeny boppers strongest points) a squad can easily defeat even the most talented reflex gamer.

  22. Re:Why not build it yourself? on Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access · · Score: 1

    Why is this so funny?

  23. Re:Lay Off The French OK on French MPs Consider P2P Downloads Again · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    French knock-knock joke. "Knock-knock!" "I give up!"

  24. Re:MP on French MPs Consider P2P Downloads Again · · Score: 0, Troll

    France has a military? I thought that was just a rumor.

  25. Re:The independent country of Google? on Google Moving PRC Records Out of China · · Score: 1

    I'd move there...
