  1. Is this from a shitty 90's movie? on First Armed Robots on Patrol in Iraq · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This dude thinks so:

    http://shitsnaz.blogspot.com/2007/07/us-army-gets- robot-idea-from-shitty.html

    " 1995, the movie "Evolver" is released to the public. This piece of shit is about a robot that goes crazy and kills people so it can win at laser tag. At one point, the two protagaonists/high school students of the movie break into a military research facility (!) and watch a video about a top-secret government project for a futuristic military robot. It was called project "SWORDS".
    The two acronyms and purposes of the robots are plain to see. It's painfully obvious to me that the Army stays up late and flips back and forth between demiporn on Cinemax and the horrible movies on USA. I can only imagine a researcher dropping his can of "Da Beast" to realize that, yes, there *has* to be a project SWORDS and a killer robot."

  2. hey timothy, read the article on Calculator Flaw Forces Recall in Virginia · · Score: 2, Interesting

    these aren't regular models, they are specifically made to give the students access to only what is allowed on the test. TI goofed.

    and c'mon... $10 is "expensive electronics?" It's not like they have the 3D graphic calculators with the gameboy emulator.

  3. yep, what if it had been a shareware developer on Shorewall Developer Tom Eastep Quits · · Score: 1

    You've been dutifully registering ever major version of the software and you're pumped because the next version is supposed to have some features you really want. Alas, the developer decides that he's not making enough money or is just bored with the project and gives up on it.

    Now where are you?

  4. a coordinated, but funny effort on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 2, Informative

    made that happen. Just do the google search on santorum" and see what comes up.

  5. Conan RPG? Sounds like a great game! on Conan MMORPG In The Works · · Score: 1

    ...for me to poop on!

  6. most CS majors learn that IT stuff on their own on Comp Sci Programs at Junior Colleges? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    actually, it's my experience that most CS majors have significant background in it/programming before they even start university; it's this background that's often the driving force behind choosing CS

  7. there are better deals to be had on Music Labels May Seek Higher Download Prices · · Score: 1

    just not from the major labels... then again, having a big record contract doesn't make a band good, right?

    I just started my free trial (50 free downloads) at emusic.com . They have a pretty large catalog of indie stuff, and it's about $0.25/song (although the payment structure is odd - $10/mo for up to 40 downloads a month).
    Best of all, it's DRM free!

    It seems to me that all the major record labels offer is a distribution channel and promotion (ie - top 40 radio)... but the internet takes those advantages away.

  8. I've been waiting for that same show on UPN Officially Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise' · · Score: 1

    tho in my world, "Starfleet Academy" is a half hour sitcom.

  9. drink beer, smoke weed, and get laid on What You'll Wish You'd Known · · Score: 3, Insightful

    don't worry, you'll have plenty of adult life where you have to act like an adult. Waste your time now while you still can.

  10. email doesn't come to my office on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    I have to use the computer for that

  11. wait, who's the good guy here? on Technology Grants for Supporting Education? · · Score: 1

    you mean the one who just accepts having no budget to support the technology and provides a poor service?

  12. Ah, so THAT'S why nobody uses outlook! on How Can I Trust Firefox? · · Score: 1

    oh well, at least Apple got it right on that one ;)

  13. At least get the NAMES of the major parties right! on Networks Ignore 3rd Party Candidates · · Score: 1

    There is no such thing as the democrat party. There's a *Democratic* party.

    But I guess if you're going to vote Reformer party or yellow party or librarian party or constutional party you wouldn't care.

  14. What did Kerry take out of his pocket? on Did Kerry Use a Cheat Sheet? · · Score: 2, Funny

    a big can of whoopass!

  15. you're right, the analogy is flawed in one way on Wardriving Worries Residents · · Score: 1

    lightbulbs DON't have the technology to allow only authorized user to see the light. if they did, I would assume that I'm just fine using any light that is allowed to be public.

    wifi does have this technology -- almost everyone I know INTENTIONALLY leaves their AP open; it's the right thing do to.

    My point was really to the OP of making sweeping judgments of other people so he could feel holier-than-thou

  16. Nice for YOU to be the judge of what is stealing on Wardriving Worries Residents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I'm standing outside and I use the light from your porch to see something, am I stealing from you?

  17. why should the Uni bear any of the cost? on LP files Suit To Stop State Funding Of 3rd Debate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the CPD is well funded by both parties and numerous corporate backers. They should be paying the school! (leasing the venue, paying for support staff, etc)

  18. What is Microsoft but the biggest thief? on Ballmer Says iPod Users are Thieves · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This comment was coming from the CEO of the biggest corporate criminal in history! Most of Microsoft's money has been stolen through their leverage of an illegal monopoly. It'll be a cold day in hell before I listen to a lecture from this criminal.

  19. for someone whose "facts" are so wrong on Celsius 41.11: A Rebuttal to Michael Moore · · Score: 0

    there sure are a lot of people clammering to "refute" them.

    heck, that one guy from "michael moore hates america" even managed to get made fun of on the daily show. hooray for the heroic anti- michael moore forces.

  20. 420 light years, eh? on NASA Detects Baby Planet · · Score: 1, Funny

    this just furthers my suspision that astrophysisicts know we don't understand their field, so they just sit around smoking the bong instead of doing real research.

  21. I think console gaming is okay for the deaf on On The Overlooked World Of 'Accessible Gaming' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are some games were sound effect clues are necessary, and don't have an accompying visual cue, but for the most part there are subtitles for the voiceovers, and rumble for when stuff blows up.

  22. Would your job allow telework? on Alternatives to Cars? · · Score: 1

    Let's say you can work at home 4 days a week
    4 days x 36 miles a day = 144 a week / 30mpg (dont' know what car you have) =~ 20 gallons a week at $2/gal

  23. I would have loved this is a kid on Indiana First With Computerized Grading · · Score: 5, Interesting

    it would have been my goal to make the most wrong essay I could that would still generate a good grade from the system.

  24. Re:The next obvious step: on Tubby: When Custom Cases Meet Frosty Cold Beer · · Score: 1

    um. pee is WARM

  25. as soon as the sims2 goes online it'll kick ass on The Sims 2 Body Shop Tool Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    it'll probably pass the sims online as the best mmorpg ever!
