Comment Gears of War (Score 1) 282

There are a couple of bits where you can take cover behind a car, then shove it forwards - basically, moveable cover. At one point I ducked and shoved, and the car sailed gracefully up, up off into the sky. Fun to watch until the locust horde started eating my face...

one company...one set of servers

Seriously? One company, yes, but not one set of servers. In fact, not even one physical location. Google's datacentre distribution and redundancy is seriously impressive; after World War III, nothing will be left save for cockroaches and Google. Presumably so that the cockroaches can search for...um, whatever cockroaches search for? And get served adverts on h4wt female cockraches while they're at it.

Why solve a social problem with a technical solution?

You're misapprehending the problem. If the problem was "how do we know who's in class?", then there's nothing wrong with the simple signing of the register. The problem that this is designed to solve, though, is "how do we collect facial-recognition data on as many people as we can while they're still to young to do anything about it?"

Given the kind of freaky porn that comes out of Germany, I doubt the German government is going to be phased by anything the Chinese decide to download.

Seriously? Chinese pr0n is even weirder, IMO. I'd give you a copy of the comprehensive study I wrote on the subject, but the pages are all stuck together...

For instance, if you take the wetsuit of a SEAL and put it in the drier[...]

Actually, since your average dryer runs at about 3 times the melting point of neoprene, what you'll get is horrendous black rubbery mess that smells like a tyre fire, and far more than the lint trap will need cleaning out.

Now, if you clean out the belly button of an Admiral, the result is naval navel lint.

Metanaval lint?
