  1. I thought I was missing something! on EyeToy - Sony's Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    I can remember seeing this thing at E3 and thinking how it was kind of lame and maybe someday a good game could come out of it.

    Since then, I've probably seen 100 articles, reviews, etc. screaming how absoutly baddass this thing was. I was being to question my judgement. Now I see that most people think it sucks and the places that I read the positive reviews were probably owned by Sony or something.

  2. A Hugarian killed Dillinger! on Edward Teller Passes Away At 95 · · Score: 1

    The woman who was the infamous "Lady in Red" pointed Dillinger out to the Feds.

  3. My mommy says actions speak louder the words. on Edward Teller Passes Away At 95 · · Score: 1

    So with that we can say blowing the shit out 2 Japanese cities speaks louders then blowing one up at high altitude and showing what we might do maybe.

  4. Why does this always happen over there? on Power Outages Strike East Coast · · Score: 1

    What is the differnce in setups between the west and east coast? This kind of thing never happens in Los Angeles.

  5. Yeah, and Al Capone was only guilty of tax fraud on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1
    All this crap about hacking is obviously fake or they would certainly have convicted him of that too.

    It's not about what he did, it's about what the Feds can easily prove.

  6. Fuck, This was a reply to the Tomb Raider thread on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    I have no idea how it got here.

  7. Hope my comments never get public on Slashback: Blender, Paly, Dragon · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cause between all the, "Fix this when I'm less drunk"'s and, "This better fucking work GODDAMMIT!"'s I might be out of a job.

  8. The excelerated Ebola did it for me. on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Spolier Alert YO!

    I know I shouldn't expect realism in a movie like this but the whole Ebola thing did it for me. Ebola turns a human into a blood exploding hand gernade. Blood flows out of every orfice including the eyes and sometimes even the pores on the skin.

    That lame shit where the guy coughs up a tiny bit of blood and then dies was so stupid I hated the movie from then on.

  9. The family does not have to follow the will at all on Ending Organ Donor Shortages? · · Score: 1

    Here's how it works: You make a will and name someone else as a executor, usually a lawyer but in my grandmother's case she chose my aunt. After you die the executor is charge of following your wishes. But here's the thing, he or she can do whatever their heart desires as long as the family goes along with it.

    If there's disagreement I think it goes to court and a judge becomes executor and just follows the will. So if you say you are a donor and your entire family is against it then you may have to curse at them from heaven after they put you in the ground, intact.

  10. A lot of Coffee and Cigarettes. on Programming Warm Ups? · · Score: 1

    I figure when my pulse reaches 140 BPM at rest my brain is getting enough blood to acheive it's full potential.

  11. Just go down to the district office. on WiFi Exposes Sensitive Student Data · · Score: 2, Informative

    After you turn 18 you can at any time look into your permament record. Prepared to be shocked though. I was a slight rebel but nothing to serious and my consuler describe me, and I shit you not, as the NEXT HITLER!. Serious, she said: And in this report Nick sounds somewhat like the next Hitler (I wrote a paper saying academic proformence should determe which students got to go to Disneyland.)

  12. My dad came up with the same theory. on Columbia Coverage · · Score: 1
    no point distressing them by announcing that they are about to die and nothing can be done about it

    He came up with it after the reports came out saying Houston watched the temperature rise in the tire for a while without saying anything. If something started showing up that could only mean certain doom they might not say anything about it. Otherwise Houston would tell them they are straight fucked and the astronauts would have 5 minutes to think about.

  13. How about the whole IT staff of California? on .org TLD Now Runs on PostgreSQL · · Score: 1

    A whole bunch of people got fired for choose Oracle, mostly because they choose to buy way more licences then there were employees.

  14. Same thing in the States. on Slashback: Tableturkey, Stromlo, Mandrake · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure but it might be called the Consumers Protection Act. Among other things it guartantees consumers the right to return defective or misleading products up to 30 days after purchase.

  15. How about my '66 Mustang? on Cars for Tinkerers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cars have required tinkering until the last 20 years or so. While electronic tinkering may be new, mechcanical tinkering has been around as long as cars have.

  16. SearchKing is wrong, and so are most of you. on Google Responds to SearchKing's Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Informative

    SearchKing was trying to "fix" the results and infact was not trying to affect them in anyway.

    Here's the deal: SearchKing found all the sites that ranked high on Google and sold ad space on those sites. For example, if I searched for sprockets Spacely's Sprockets might come up first. SK would then contact Spacely's and sell ads to other people. Because Spacely's is he #1 result for a search on sprockets the ad space is worth money. Google didn't like this so any company that sells ad space through SK gets demoted, which makes the ads SK wants to sell worthless.

  17. Just like my NRA card lets me carry my automomatic on Mandated Regulation/Certification for Computer Repair? · · Score: 1

    The fact the NRA thinks I'm a good guy means jack shit as far as the US Gov is concerned. Same thing with the SAE (mechanic cerification guys). If I see a sign on the wall of a shop all I can assume is that the mechanic in question has enough money to pay his dues.

  18. What? There's no other urban areas in world? on New and Improved - SmarTruck II · · Score: 1

    What if we fight France of somebody next time? Think that M1 Abrams is going to fit through all those streets in Nice?

  19. yeah seriously. on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 1
    I'm still trying to figure out what a taco place needs with all that horsepower.

    I had to reread the hed a bunch of times because I would get to the end and think, "mmmmmmmm, fish tacos," and forget what I was reading about.

  20. Not doctored, author was just ignorant. on Chemistry Sets for Adults? · · Score: 1

    and if you read any interviews with him he freely admits he was just a pissed of kid in the sixties with little of no knowlege of what he was writting about. In fact he now is embarressed by his work but because of publishing rights he cannot stop it's publication.

  21. Feds removed the restriction. on U.S. Proposes Centralized Internet Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Thats why Montanta changed their speed limits. Contratry to popular belief MT changed the limit to whatever was safe and prudent, not infinity. A bunch of people from out of state ruined it for anyone by going 120 mph though the (realitivly) busy crowded areas and getting in serious accidents. The state changed the limits back on the grounds that out of state people are fucking morons.

    P.S. I think the highest speed that was proven in court to be safe was a guy who got caught going 103 mph.

  22. Make sure not to wait till next week. on LOTR: The Two Towers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A lot of people will probably wanna wait 'till the shows stop selling out to go but my advice is: Don't. I saw LOTR in Burbank at 12:01 this morning and being in a room with hundreds of exicited people really made a difference.

    I give the movie 9/10 and the guy who did the acting for Gollum should definalty win Best Supported Actor from the Oscars.

  23. PHP5, now with time travel! on PHP5 Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny
    a beta is expected out by March 2002

    maybe I'll ditch ASP for PHP after all.

  24. Not affecting their TV service. on DIRECTV Broadband Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    The TV part is seperate and will not be affected.

  25. Re:That's not it but I'll know it when I see it. on Giving the Customer What They Wanted? · · Score: 1

    They color scheme of the whole company was blue. We came up their letterhead, website, print ads, logo, business cards, everything.
