  1. A friend does Telecom for these things at JPL on The Rovers That Just Won't Quit · · Score: 1

    And he tells me that they have funding till end of next September for the rovers.

  2. Hell, you paid for that police car too. on White House Cease & Desists to The Onion · · Score: 1
    So I guess the phrase "a government of the people, by the people and for the people" means nothing to you? WTF is wrong with this country when the government is held to be a higher, "special", separate class from the governed? WTF happened to free speech?

    If you went and tried to take "your" police car on a road trip to Vegas I think you might have some problem.

  3. Hell, Washington Mutual lets you do that now. on UK ATM System Could Have Ruined Economy · · Score: 1

    Those basards would let you withdrawal money from an already overdrawn account and then charge you a $29 dollar overdraft fee.

  4. Not for me it isn't on Network TV Downloadable Via iTunes · · Score: 1
    To me, this is a ripoff.

    I refuse to get cable so in order to watch Lost I have to wait until someone throughs it up on USENET. That sounds like piracy, but I only download it for free because there aren't any ways for me to give ABC money to watch the episode. Now there is.

  5. Your not the only one on An Early Look at JUnit 4 · · Score: 3, Funny
    Maybe I am the only one that understands this too... J-J-J... J UNIT!


    Envy me, I'm programming's MVP!

  6. Forgot one.... on Windows Vista To Come In 7 Flavors · · Score: 1
    Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
    Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition

  7. The sonic boom gave me a heart attack on Shuttle Discovery Lands Safely · · Score: 1

    I lived in SoCal all my life and this is the first landing that scared the shit out of me. Is there a reason why this landing was so much louder then the others?

  8. Hmm this comment looks familer on Body Scanners for the London Underground · · Score: 1

    Yep, it seems to be a copy of this one.

  9. Re:The obvious solution on PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N · · Score: 1
    and watch how screaming fast Microsoft does a complete about face.

    And watch how fast the United States Government is overthrown.

    Bypassing due process and just skipping to revoking the Constitution is probably the best way to get lined up against the wall.

  10. Is this the same build as last week? on Firefox Deer Park Alpha Available · · Score: 1

    I installed Deer Park Alpha 1 last week sometime. Was a newer build released today or is this the same thing?

  11. Re:Cell Phones over iPod? on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1
    Has anyone ever done any reseach on how often Bill Gates has been right in his predictions?

    Looking at the billions of dollars he has I'd say enough.

  12. So California stays the same? on Real ID: You Can Still Fight It · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, us is Cali won't even need new driver licenses. I think we already fit all the rules.

  13. Rental vs Buy date on Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early · · Score: 1
    Blockbuster usually starts renting movies about a week before the actual release on DVD.

    10 years ago that time frame could be weeks or months. Being able to rent and buy a movie about the same time is something that has happened relitivly recently.

  14. Woah, fucked that one up, let's try again! on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1
    Rodriguez will no doubt have little trouble finding work... but expect it to be via indie studios.


    George Lucas and Quentin Tarantino aren't members of the DGA so Rodriguez won't have any issues.

    Lucas wasn't even a member when he made Star Wars.

  15. Re:Rodriguez is not an option. on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1

  16. Re:Ugh on 'Transformers' Live Action Movie from DreamWorks? · · Score: 1

    Guess you haven't seen Pearl Harbor.

    I say that based on your UCS this movie is going to be at least a 26 because Bay is directing it.

  17. Just like OPEC on Cornering the World of Warcraft Markets · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is why OPEC doesn't immediatly raise oil prices to $200 a barrel (well, besides the possibility of every non-OPEC country sending in their armed forces).

    All these guys agree on a high price but after a while one of them breaks ranks and makes a huge profit, lowering the market price.

  18. First of all, it's the ArcLight Cinerama Dome on Star Wars Fans in Line... at the Wrong Theater · · Score: 1

    How can you be more of a nerd then to see Star Wars in the theater inspired by Buckminster Fuller?

    Second, this theater has assigned seating. I can buy tickets online 2 months before the movie starts and not show up until 3 minutes before starting time and have the best seats in the house. People standing in line would look pretty lame.

    Third, there is a bar inside the lobby of the theater. This is key.

  19. Re:World's smallest violin on Sarbanes-Oxley - How is it Affecting You? · · Score: 1

    If I punch you in the face, you don't have the right or justication to use that as an excuse to go murder the family of your enemy who wasn't involved in the face punching in the first place.

  20. Re:Whirrr! on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1

    They sent the fucking British Army and Navy over and fought a fucking war, that isn't exactly not doing anything.

  21. Re:Press Release on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 1
    Hell no. Any competent and sane self-defense instructor will tell you to give the nice man with the gun your wallet.

    Before they teach you that, they teach you to make sure you never put yourself in a situation where someone can pull a gun on you.

  22. Re:To me it looks like he's playing for publicity on FBI Demands Logs From Radical Website · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Asd the kids at Waco who were burned to death so the cops could get revenge for two cops in LA convicted the same day of beating Rodney King

    Assuming you are talking about the David Koresh nutjobs, many of those kids were murdered by their own fellow religious breathren before the fire got anywhere near them.

  23. Re:I want to go to college too! on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 1

    Do you live in California?

    Yeah, then school is "almost free". Other states have different rules.

    NV charges almost twice as much for community college and it is much harder to get money to pay for it.

  24. Re:These are not Future MIT students on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 1

    That's all well and good if there is enough money to go around so that the bright, intelligent, US citizens get their chance first.

  25. You gotta play both sides of the issue. on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 1

    If the California government actually followed through with the policy they publicize then our economy would collaspe instantly. They are 100% percent aware of this.

    The thing is, if they change the policy to reflect their real intentions they would all be voted out of office.

    Our government knows immigration is a good thing but the avg voter (I'm talking both sides of the aisle here) is retarded so the government has to be two faced about it.
