  1. Re:Oh? on Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Is it me or is this whole format war thing just a way for them to trick us into buying stuff that has been planned to be obsolete from the start. Why seriously did there need to be more than one new format from the offset? Maybe I'm ignorant?

  2. Re:By a woman? on Female Astronaut Sets Space Record · · Score: 1

    It's not possible full stop. To bear children in space is sick, they would never grow leg muscles to start with. Probably be breaking human rights laws of some sort. And if they did survive to grow to the age of 10 they's most likely do everything in their power to turn the ship around.

  3. Re:One word... on Pimping Out a New House · · Score: 1

    Jeffries tubes can be your best friend or your worst enemy in a tight situation. If nothing else, this murky fact has emerged from my mis-spent years watching star trek and that. This and don't call a Klingon a pussy.

  4. Incompetance on Michigan Man Charged for Using Free WiFi · · Score: 1
    From the article:

    Milanowski didn't immediately cite or arrest Peterson, mostly because he wasn't certain a crime had been committed. "I had a feeling a law was being broken," the chief said. What the f**k? The police chief doesn't know what is and isn't a felony (being a "very serious crime" by definition). I'd be worried if I lived in that part of the world!
  5. Re:42 on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1

    It's a bit stoopid to say video games can be accountable for violence at all. However maddening the game. Is this stat based on the number of people who played the game that then went out to commit violence against real life ghosts? How can this be accurately attributed to the influence of playing pacman anyway? Perhaps certain people are predisposed to this type of violence anyway. Personally, I found Turtle Hurtle (http://www.smiliegames.com/turtlehurtle/ (Script)) much more frustrating and more likely to turn me into a violent psycopath ;-) At least for a few seconds until I noticed reality was happily going on around me.
