  1. Well on Long Takes In the Movies, Antidote To CGI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can probably see why people would like this, but it seems like a long shot to me

  2. Re:Microsoft cheating? on Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating In SunSpider · · Score: 1

    I do not think that word means what you think it means

  3. Re:"I see..." on Chip Allows Blind People To See · · Score: 1

    ..."It all comes back to me as I piss into the wind."

  4. Re:moed down on With the Jack PC, the Computer's In the Wall! · · Score: 1

    Wild Goatse appears!

  5. Re:BFD. on With the Jack PC, the Computer's In the Wall! · · Score: 1

    I got my kerosene powered toaster running Arch once.

  6. Re:Oh the irony. on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 1

    If high school biology has taught me as well as I think it has*, then it isn't the species that passes or fails. It's the gene.

    *Keep in mind I went to public school

  7. Re:Wow on Ubuntu Moves Away From GNOME · · Score: 1

    I have both KDE and GNOME installed because I find programs from each that are superior to the other (for instance, I <3 K3B, and Amarok is good (1.x is better than 2.0 though), but I also <3 Chromium and Pidgin.)

    As for which DE I use, I prefer KDE, though I like GNOME a lot. Simply a personal preference.

  8. Re:Dual analog controls are a must nowadays on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    dual analog controls from the older PSP generation.

    ...My first-gen PSP only has one analog control.

  9. Re:RTFA. It hasn't been confirmed as false at all. on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    Because it's totally possible to take a picture of a phone and get a crystal clear screen. Even if you turn the Flash off it's pretty much impossible.

  10. Re:how about a nintendo phone? on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    When you figure in both the power needed to be a cell and make calls, with the incredible power sucking a decent graphics chip would do in that size?

    They should ask Palm how the battery in the Treo 680 works - at full charge full brightness I typically get about two days straight. Granted, I don't get/place calls often, but...

  11. Well... on Physicists Say Graphene Could Create Mass · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a very complicated way of saying "The toothpaste tube makes more toothpaste when you aren't using it."

  12. Re:need more input on Bicycle Thief Barred From Using Encryption · · Score: 1

    Two more Skye's with an E accounted for here. Probably a third I don't know around here as well.

  13. They're Obviously Angry Rabbits on Denver Airport Overrun by Car-Eating Rabbits · · Score: 1

    They're protesting all those "OM NOM NOM" pics of them on I Can Has Cheezburger.

  14. Moon? on Saturn's Rings Formed From Large Moon Destruction · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  15. Re:Well that's stupid. on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    How is "I'm not going to sell this here" an economic sanction?

  16. Re:Well that's stupid. on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    If you really care THAT much, find the localization string for your language and change "opposing force" to "Taliban". Far as I know, EA's kinda lax on the stupid stuff like changing the names of things, but then again I don't own many EA games, so I could be talking out of my ass.

  17. Re:Well that's stupid. on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    By this logic, I shouldn't be allowed to refuse to sell multiplayer only games (i.e. TF2, WoW) in a little mom-n-pop store out where the only internet connection is dialup.

    As long as my reasoning for not selling something makes sense (and choosing not to sell something that could potentially offend a large number of people makes sense) then I don't see why I can't sell it as long as I'm not bitching out people that want it

  18. Re:How can it destroy the Earth? on Fifty Meter Asteroid Might Hit Earth In 2098 · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember the Mayan calendar being behind, or something like that. Like our 2012 is their 1955.

  19. Re:why are the bounties so low? on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    Well Flash has a history of giving me issues, so I'm wondering if it was taking forever because it was trying to get Flash all the way loaded first.

    Whereas with Chrome I assume it does what it does with all other things and loads Flash in a seperate process. Sometimes half my Chrome extensions aren't quite loaded up yet when the first tab gets ready to go, so that could be related to how things speed up.

  20. Re:why are the bounties so low? on Google Fixes 10 Bugs In Chrome, Pays $4000 Bounty · · Score: 1

    security has been the primary selling point for chrome from the beginning

    The primary selling point to me for Chrome was Firefox took all of 90 seconds to load. I assume this is because it was doing something that I probably wanted it to do (like cache images for various websites I go to), but I got tired of waiting a minute and a half longer to check my email.

  21. Re:Facebook vs. Twitter on Twitter Gets a Tweak · · Score: 1

    420 characters, but yeah. And I'm more than capable of firing off coherent tweets in 140 characters. Twitter users have no excuse.

  22. Re:FIOS not all that? on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 1

    I ran SpeedTests from me to various servers (to get the best comparison rates) and I get what Verizon's telling me I'm supposed to be getting - 25 mbps down, 10-15 up.

    DSL Reports gives me less, but then again I never bothered to shut down Steam, Hamachi, etc.

    If it makes a difference, I download from Steam at a max of 3 MB/sec (that's megabytes), so I think I'm getting my 25 mbps (megabits)

  23. Re:yes, but... on Google Introduces Command-Line Tool For Linux · · Score: 1

    You can't even look at the CLI funny without it crying and failing. However, if you use IDLE it's fine.

  24. Re:Well.. on Google Street View Wi-Fi Data Includes Passwords, Email Content · · Score: 1

    My only question is "What the hell would Google WANT to do with people's e-mail passwords?!"

    Now if they were putting these e-mail passwords somewhere PUBLIC (such as right there in Google's Street View), I'd understand - I wouldn't want anyone accessing my e-mail, even if 80% of it is Cheezburger Network subscriptions.

  25. Re:Offtopic? on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 1

    Way I'm seeing it, there is no true off-topic in this particular article.

    If you discuss Verizon's anti-off-topic-ness, you're on topic, but if you start discussing what kind of cheese you like in your macaroni or something, by being OFF-TOPIC, you're ON-TOPIC. If that makes any sense.
