It burnss our eyeses preciousss!

Joke detection fail.

Hardware failure is just Marvellous. ;D

Obesity is bad for you. More news at 11.

All they need is something to lift their Spirits... maybe a good comedy movie will do the trick. (sry, the pun HAD to be made)

Using this in conjunction with the new Google Brain search should make spotting nefarious terrorists, murderers, drug traffickers and torrenters easy. The program should be run by Alfred Bester.

Exactly. As do we all. This is why discussing the games like RapeLay is kind of a red herring (as the article seems to insinuate, I'm just sick of my friends yapping about it as if it were indicative of mainstream gaming... forgive my rant). Sure, games like that make me want to puke, but who cares? Its a game for sickos made by sickos, it does not reflect on gaming culture as a whole any more than a fetish-indulging book refelcts on the entirety of literature as a whole. The real problem is that people latch on to examples and try to generalize them.

Nevertheless, "a resistive zone developed" which kicked off the whole problem.

It's supposed to be, but that's what failed during tests. See the link.

Well, to be fair the point of my joke is that I was pretending to be stupid. I just thought it was so stupid no one would take it seriously... so I guess it's partially my fault.

Is this the start of a trend due to economically troubled times? This conCERNs me.

Bad puns aside, I guess with an economy like this, CERN should expect some resistance. ;)

For f***'s sake (I'll just not analyze that one literally, suffice to say I doubt this has anything to do with intercourse), joke != lack of knowledge (even if the joke isn't particularly good).

It's finally time to start up my competitor to the NSA. The American Security Service (acronym to be determined) will, for the cost of hard drives on ebay (as well as some key other components... you never know what might be hidden in all those GPUs... we'd better test them. And those CPUs... and that RAM... and those computer games...), provide quality security and defense against our enemies. Especially if those enemies happen to be in the games I'm playing at the time.

Finally, they are creating a government entity to control the weather rather than just sit by and watch it helplessly. Stupid natural weather! What did it ever do for us anyways? The real question is, will we be able to use this power to cause natural disasters for our enemies or just avert them from ourselves?

Or is this just another meaningless committee to tell us that carbon is bad every couple of weeks?

Hmph! 21026 of my 25826 ideas were easily better than this! Seriously, what's with all you people spamming bad ideas like that at them? All your doing is making them take longer sifting through my ideas to tell me which one of them won.
