  1. Too many... on Mass Santa Record Broken · · Score: 1

    I can only imagine that this kind of thing takes the cat out of the bag for children. There's no way to explain that many Santas away and still say with a straight face that Santa is real. maybe going into mall after mall and seeing 'A' Santa in all of them, but not this many all in one place.

  2. Yes, '98 or so. on Lazy Road Crew · · Score: 1

    The email that I got with this picture had the caption, Winner of the Not-My-Job Award. Is it sad that I still have it saved and kicking around? No don't answer that!

  3. Re:Thoughts? on A Quantum Linear Equation Solver · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The unfortunate darker side of online anonymity.

  4. Look Closely on Happily Ever After · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd say it's for his own defense. Look at her nails! They're probably sharpened too.

  5. Re:So... on A Computer Composing and Playing Jazz · · Score: 1

    I've been to many classical concerts where they play pieces from Contemporary Composers and Composition Majors. This is equal to much of the new works if not better.

  6. Re:Dragging on? on Lori Drew Cyber-Bullying Trial Begins · · Score: 3, Insightful

    She would have "offed" herself eventually? Perhaps she was on the brink of getting therapy and becoming a more stable person. But now she's dead and doesn't have a chance of getting better.

  7. Re:Protect the cave system on Spelunkers Explore Crystalline Cave In New Mexico · · Score: 1

    About The Poop: These guys bag everything they "do" down there. Nothing gets left behind.

  8. Re:How many times are we going to do it? on New Dune Movie Confirmed · · Score: 1

    The first one may have been a little off, but the actors actually ACTED. The SciFi channel one, from what I remember, the actors just had that glossy eye style that many actors do these days. Not a great trade off. I like the "True to the original" take as many people do, but if the acting is supurb, and they're telling a good story, then I'm happy.

  9. Three Wheels? on New X-Prize for Fuel Efficient Cars Announced · · Score: 1

    I don't know if a 3 wheeled vehicle would be a non efficient platform or couldn't cope with all the other requirements, but if they're looking for something extraordinary, why limit themselves with something like "Must have 4 or more wheels"?

  10. Vatican still has them on Statue of Galileo Planned for Vatican · · Score: 1

    From what I've heard, the Vatican still has boxes full of, ahem...those from the Great Emasculation.

  11. Re:That's all very well.... on The Law and Politics of Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 5, Funny

    I realize Dirk Benedict is a very handsome man, but I think it would have been a little inappropriate. Oh, wait...

  12. New line of PC's on HP & Dell Face Lawsuits From Exploding Hardware · · Score: 1

    Walmart is releasing their new line, the Adobe PC - C4 edition

  13. iRing on Innovative Designs and Devices · · Score: 2, Funny

    One Ring to Rule Them All

  14. Which ones? on Office Printers May Pose Health Risks · · Score: 1

    Anyone know if there is a list of printers they found to be ultra nasty? I did read the article and didn't find anything. It would be nice to know if I'm still getting hosed after quitting smoking. Makes me feel like what's going to happen to us after Bush leaves office.

  15. Wow on Bionic Hand Makes it to Market · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These people look really happy. I'm so excited for them. To have regained this much manipulation is amazing. Best of luck for these patients and this company

  16. Re:Listening to neighboring cars on Five FM iPod Transmitters Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Not only was I going to tell this same story, with the same problems (Howie and the gang), but for the same state, same stretch of road, same station. The Deja Vu was stabbing me in the head something fierce. I'm still not sure I didn't write it ... My head hurts.

  17. RDF? on Super-Fast RDF Search Engine Developed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I didn't realize Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field was able to be harnessed and bottled in a search engine, or any software for that matter. His abilities are boundless!

  18. Re:Nope! All currency is a commodity... on A Chinese Virtual Currency Challenges the Yuan · · Score: 1

    When the government('s bankers) print money, all the existing money in circulation decreases in value because there is more of it around. I thought the Treasuries around the country kept tabs on the circulation of the money out in the wild and when there gets to be too much, they remove some from circulation and if there's too much put some back into circulation. If so, wouldn't that take care of the inflation based on your model?

  19. Trust the Scotts on 'Life on Mars' Meteorite Rejected After 10 Years · · Score: 1

    One would think that the brother of the head of Medical sciences in the Pegasus galaxy would have a little more credibility regarding alien life.

  20. The Video on Two Legged Robot Sets Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Oh, God! I watched that little thing go and all I could think of was Wallace & Grommit's "The Wrong Trousers". I laughed and laughed and laughed and, oh, all right, I know, that's enough.
