  1. Re:The size will be the limiting factor not DRM. on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At 20GB this alone will limit pirates as having even 100 of these movies will take up about 2TB of space.

    Well, there are always more insecure computers to use as temporary storage. Maybe they'll come up with a distributed storage system where the pirated file is split up over 10-20 machines.

  2. Sign me up on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    I'll take three, please. A different paint job, and you've got the perfect disguise for your local super hero/villain.

  3. Re:EA is the best game publisher? on 2006's Top 20 Game Publishers Ranked · · Score: 1

    Geez, that's nice. I bet by their metric WalMart is the best place to shop, McDonald's is the best place to eat, and MySpace is the best way to have a presence on the Internet.

    I think EA just slipped 'em a few 20s to move things 'in a more positive direction', so to speak.

  4. Abuse of power? on Luxpro Sues Apple for Damages and 'Power Abuse' · · Score: 1

    Next thing you know, the have-nots will rise up and overthrow their oppr^H^H^H^Hbenevolent paternal overseers.

  5. Wow on Brightest Supernova Discovered · · Score: 1

    FTA, it looks like the supernova is brighter than the host galaxy's core. Not a bad way to go out, if you're a star.

  6. Re:Wow... on China Clamps Down on Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    I mean, I knew they had some nutty censorship going on there...but they've actually got people that make sure you can't crossdress in online computer games? Is that really a big enough problem that they need assign government officials to it?

    I guess I'll try to see this as an example of why all freedom of expression must be protected...even that which you disagree with. If you shrug it off, it just gets worse and worse.


    When crossdressing in MMORPGs is criminalized, only criminals will crossdress in MMORPGs.

  7. Director's Cut needed on Star Trek Legacy's Plot Left Behind on Away Mission · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sounds like we need a Director's Cut...

  8. Re:Important safety tip... on Table-top Particle Accelerator Created · · Score: 1

    Whatever you do, don't cross the streams!

    Don't look in the trap, either.

  9. Re:Paint me surprised on Illinois Ban On Explicit Video Games Is Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    How stunningly...sane.

    Every now and again, something happens to help convince me that all hope is not, in fact, lost.


    Nah, it's just an illusion to get you to let down your guard.

  10. Re:A new market on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    seriously though, odds are she isnt breasfeeding. why a more parents dont give their kids free, portable, no preparation required, extremely healthy food until at least the kiddo starts 'solid' food is beyond me.

    Nope, she's not. The reason why we're not breastfeeding is that our baby won't latch on. This is a very common occurance, and happens more often than you might think.

    We've been pumping, but since my wife is going back to work, we've switched to formula.

  11. A new market on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should try selling this to new parents. My wife would surely love to get her hands on some.

    According to the consultant, 25 of 26 items are 'Hire the Consultant'.

  14. Re:depends on how you look at it on Biggest IT Disaster Ever? · · Score: 1

    I figured it would be a way for all those folks to play network Solitaire.

  15. Re:Very good for consumers on France Considers Anti-DRM 'iPod Law' · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Unfortunately, it would never happen in the US. Not the way that corporations buy congressmen these days, anyway.

  16. So it's... on Battle of the Tech Titans · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...YaBay vs. Doogle vs. Microsoft. Normally, three-ways excite me, but not this time...

  17. Re:SPARKY!!! on Soldiers Bond with Bomb-Defusing Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just you wait. When the robots take over, they'll get the humans to do the dirty work. And maybe, the robo-soldiers will bond with their human sacrificial lambs...and the cycle will start anew.

  18. I'm waiting for... on New Super Mario Bros. Review · · Score: 5, Funny

    Super Mario Retirement Home to come out.

  19. Re:When do we see a patch? on MS Word Zero-Day Exploit Found · · Score: 1

    If you bought a car that had a major flaw in it, wouldn't you complain? Wouldn't people in the know wonder how such a flaw got through their quality process? Why should M$ be treated any differently?

  20. Similar to Russian nuke scientists on The World's Top Cybercriminals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This issue is similar to the (existing) problem with Russian nuclear scientists taking their know-how with them to rogue states and terror groups. We need to get Russia to fix its economy, so that Russian programmers can get enough money legally. I think it's in everyone's interest to have them programing games, for example, than cracking systems and writing viruses.

  21. Re:Key line from TFA on Well I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle · · Score: 0

    Ahh, but suppose you have five slightly different organisms, labelled A-E. Is it possible (and this is a genuine question), that both A and E could produce live offspring with C, but not each other? In which case you could say that A and C are a common species, and C and E are a common species, but A and E aren't?

    It's called a Ring Species.

  22. Re:Crates! on Game Innovation Database · · Score: 0

    Without crates, there would be no FPS. All hail the holy crate!

  23. Re:Oh, puh-*leese*! on Examining the New Bubble · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I guess it's to be expected, though. We're supposedly in this War on Terror, but so far, I haven't been asked to participate in a single Meatless Tuesday. Where do I go to get my ration cards, anyway?

    Not to mention gasoline rationing, or recycling aluminum or rubber. Of course, people might start to complain if they had to cut back.

  24. Re:Griffin's answer on India and NASA to Explore Moon Together · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Now just how long before congress and the president is outsourced to india? ;)

    The correct verb is 'sold' :).

    Seriously, though, getting to the moon on the cheap with India seems a lot more likely to succeed than any space plans involving cooperation with Russia.
