  1. He had two options... on Who Needs a Hazmat Suit? · · Score: 1

    "Mr. Miller. You can either catch up on the latest Idle, or go outside and clean up toxic waste."

    "Mr. Miller...MR.MILLER, don't you want to wait and at least put on a hazmat suit?"

  2. They probably just read Idle on Grandmas Expressing Themselves · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or maybe they tried to post a comment and couldn't read the black on teal text.

    I'm doing the same thing. You just can't see me.

  3. Still have mine on A History of Atari — the Golden Years · · Score: 1

    I still have my Atari 2600, with about 30 games, controllers, and paddles (for playing Kaboom, my favorite). I grew up on that thing. The only person in the house that was any competition for me was my mom. She kicked ass at Kaboom, and I remember being in awe as I watched my aunt score 1,000,000 points on Missile Command.

    I plugged in in a few days ago to play it, actually. It still works great. And totally sucks. But I love it.

    You never forget your first.

    ?? Productivity!

  5. Re:But some artists suck. on Support Grows For Blanket Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    You reward those "crappy acts" everytime you buy Pepsi, drink milk, or buy Samsung products.

    You think they make their fortunes from recording contracts?

    Do you think that's air your breathing?

  6. Re:Hail? on World's Largest Solar Plants Planned In California · · Score: 1, Informative

    Most panels are able to withstand hail stones of up to 1" in diameter , or more with a thin (0.188") acrylic cover sheet.

    The damage, if any, will likely just occur to the glass cover, which could possibly be replaced without replacing the whole panel.

  7. Re:I've already seen this on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 0

    Oh, he's pulled his arms! That's gotta be disappointing.

    He probably doesn't have that much pain right now, but I think tomorrow he's really gonna feel that.

    I was just looking for that skit. Hilarious.

    Especially if your mom is the one trying to "hack" in to your bank account.

  12. When they catch him on Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison · · Score: 1

    He'll go from being in a federal prison camp to a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

  18. Re:Don't be silly on T-Ray Camera Sees Through Clothes, Preserves Privacy · · Score: 1

    In the early 90's I was moving out west and getting on a plane for the first time in Toronto, where I'd stayed with a friend for a few days on the way through. As I passed through security and the x-ray machine, they asked if they could look in my carry on bag. I agreed, of course, thinking it was my alarm clock they were interested in. I almost shat myself when they pulled out a boot knife with a 4" blade I'd acquired at a university party a few months prior that was used for cutting limes for tequila. Add to that the fact that I was still suffering the effects of smoking far too much pot while in T.O., and was walking with a bag of seeds stuffed in my right boot, I thought I was done for. My "Oh my god, I didn't know that was in there, you can keep it, I don't need it." was met with a small smile, my knife tucked back in my bag, and an "It's okay, don't worry about it.". I suspect that little exchange would have turned out much worse for me had it happened under present day conditions.

  19. Re:Question on Powerful Optical Telescope Captures First Binocular Images · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, they look really, REALLY far away.

  20. Thank god I live in Canada... on RIAA Wants $1.5 Million Per CD Copied · · Score: 2, Funny
