  1. Re:Tivo, I'll miss you when you're gone on Lunch with TiVo's E. Stephen Mack · · Score: 0

    I've never seen any cable companies giving DVRs away for free.

  2. Re:Let's Dig Deeper into Worlds on Climbing the Colossus · · Score: 1

    It's more like a spin-off than a sequel.

  3. Re:Make sure you account for everything on Near Light Speed Travel Possible After All? · · Score: 1

    Looks like somebody needs to go watch Planet Of The Apes Again.

  4. Re:It'll grow into itself. on PlayStation 3 May Play Too Much · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "you know, the kinds of machines tailored to the needs of developers and with extensive development tools to ease the process"

    Man, that is a messed up definition of a great gaming machine. Really, how many consumers who bought the XBox or PS2 cared how much energy the developers had to put in to make the games? Not a single one. They cared about the games, not how difficult they were to make.

  5. Re:Idiotic on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 1

    "Claiming a revolutionary theory but giving no concrete, testable predictions: +50"

    Since when is creationism revolutionary?

  6. Re:Newsflash! on Blu-ray Discs Won't Be Cheap · · Score: 1

    It's going to be a long time before the players are down to $200.

  7. Re:I RTFA... on Red Cross Condemns Misuse of Emblem In Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but field medics also use the red cross symbol.

  8. Re:Not a Biologist But... on A Bathroom That Cleans Itself · · Score: 1

    I'm not worried, I don't drink out of the toilet.

  9. Re:Just how much does it do? on A Bathroom That Cleans Itself · · Score: 1

    Whose last name happens to be Szyslak. Hence the "Mr. Szyslak."

  10. Re:Oxidation? on A Bathroom That Cleans Itself · · Score: 1

    Wrong. They actually proved it true. I think every brush they tested had evidence of feces.

  11. Re:Not necessarily on Toshiba to Pay $5.4 Billion for Westinghouse · · Score: 1

    You outta come check out this plant where I used to work. We were still using Mercury HID lamps when I left, but working on switching it over. We're talking several Megawatt-hour savings per quater, if not month.

  12. Re:But you're not getting the full picture. on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I looked that up. Assuming $4,980 a ton (just barely under the recent record high of ~$5,050) and 3.1 grams per penny, it would cost about $0.015 per penny. But that still doesn't explain why our money is not worth the paper it's printed on.

  13. Re:But you're not getting the full picture. on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that it would still cost less than $0.01 to make a penny out of copper, but I could be wrong.

  14. Re:I have a game idea... on Games That Stick It To The Man · · Score: 1

    "Second, these images of Muhammad are as offensive to muslims as it would be to christians to depict the Virgin Mary getting fucked by a pig with the caption "Technically, she's still a virgin.""

    I've seen a TShirt with a depiction of Mary that was captioned "She's only a virgin if you don't count anal" Do you see Catholics killing over that?

  15. Re:Version 5.13 Already Out on Spyware Tunnels in on Winamp Flaw · · Score: 1

    "I don't know what's worse on Slashdot, a dupe, a roland, or old news." Since everyone seems to see the dupes and old news, I'd have to say a Roland. Afterall, I only poke my head out every once in a while.

  16. Re:Version 5.13 Already Out on Spyware Tunnels in on Winamp Flaw · · Score: 1

    If they thought that, they'd still be using WinAmp 2.9 anyways.

  17. Re:That's the idea on Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans · · Score: 1

    I would buy that game.

  18. Re:Why is this news? on Librarian Stands up to the Feds · · Score: 1

    Actually, it varies from state to state. Some require the officer to place you under arrest before he has cause to search your car (he has to check your immediate vacinity to insure his and the public's safety). However, that doesn't stop some cops from pulling you out of your car, searching it, and then arresting you if/when they find something illegal.

  19. Re:Time to vote NO, but in what election? on Librarian Stands up to the Feds · · Score: 1

    How's that?

  20. Best engergy drink... ever on An Energy Drinks Roundup? · · Score: 1

    You forgot "Dickens Cider." This is a real drink. You have to say the name to get the joke.

  21. Re:The Real Myth on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 1

    I know I've heard it, but I can not place it. Where's it from?

  22. Re:Jaded about online console games... on Sony Takes Aim at Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    "why NOT make it free? (as in air)"

    Air isn't free, what do you think your taxes pay for?

  23. Re:No incentive on Publishers Say 'Fact-Checking Too Costly' · · Score: 1

    You mispellt Truthiness.

  24. Re:Scotty said it best... on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 1

    hehe, Maginot Line, hehehe

  25. Re:Whoopsie on Poor Spelling Beats Google's China Filter · · Score: 0

    Comeon, they are a Communist regime. It's obvious they don't know how the real world works.
