  1. Why not... on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 0

    Why not bring back something we made extinct... like the Black Rhino?

  2. Re:Makes sense in terms of metaphysics. on Sony, IMAX, Discovery To Launch 3D TV Network · · Score: 0

    Which paddle boat are you in? Whoa.

  3. Re:Well, they know your ISP on Ads With Your Name On Them · · Score: 0

    I have to laugh at these. I remember seeing an ad showing women in short dresses and bikinis that apparently live in Nunavut. On a beach.

  4. I'd give up 30 minutes of my time on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 0

    for the chance to win a home theatre package worth $15K. Too bad it's only for Local OEM Partners. (Being Canadian doesn't help either, heh.)

  5. Re:Add-on finder? on Firefox 3 Beta 3 Officially Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because going to the website is so hard? Talk about feature creep.

  6. Re:It's not the software. on "Very Severe Hole" In Vista UAC Design · · Score: 1

    Think of it this way; when was the last time you had a conversation with your comp? ;)

  7. Re:I used it for my holiday snaps on Researchers Developing Single-Pixel Camera · · Score: 1

    I think you should take issue with your travel agent; your adventures all look the same to me. (Even those hidden pictures you call dots above the "i"'s.)

  8. Re:Graphically Heavy on Why "Upgrade" To Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    Is saves one from having to move the mouse to the top of the window/viewport. Since one would generally be changing the format of text when selecting it, it's just a quick way to format text. I kind of like it.

  9. Re:I have a question and a suggestion on MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents · · Score: 1

    I really think that this could be an interesting story. I second that, although I'd be afraid of the amount of spam that would be included in the "story". ;)
  10. Re:Legal age on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    When did Ontario lower the age to 18? I thought it has always been 19... Anyway, I was in a similar situation up in Petawawa when I was a staff cadet before I went into the reserves. I was 16, and apparently the bartender got too pissed to continue serving the officers. Since I was brought on base to work by someone who was trusted by the officers, I was asked to sub in. I remember being asked the same thing, "You're 18 right?", even though they damn well knew I wasn't. I guess it was standard issue not to mention "years old". That was the first night of many serving drinks.

  11. Re:What! on zCodec Video Codec Is a Trojan · · Score: 1

    And the copyright says 2005. New? Heh.

  12. Damn kids! on Children Arrested, DNA Tested for Playing in a Tree? · · Score: 1

    Superintendent Stuart Johnson, operations manager at Halesowen police station, said: 'I support the actions of my officers who responded to complaints from the public about "kids destroying" an ornamental cherry tree by stripping every branch from it, in an area where there have been reports of anti-social behaviour.

    I don't know what is worse; that there was more than one complaint from the public that kids were being kids or that they stripped the poor tree of every branch. Not much of a tree house when all you have is a big stick in the ground eh?

    Cherry tree stripping; the gateway crime to murder.
