  1. Re:Obvious. on Congressmen Send Letters, Hope For Net Neutrality Fades · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Come on if net neutrality doesn't pass do you really think ambulance services will suddenly gain top priority?? That's not profitable... think about it, who has all the money? Porn sites, spammers and related advertising agencies.

    No, the problem is that if the government does not control the flow of information in a fair and balanced way FOR the people, the balance of power will rest briefly in the hands of the people before it gets stolen from them by the corporations, which will then go to war against each other leaving the people in their wake stranded in a marketplace that is a proverbial post-apocalyptic wasteland.

    Don't panic, it's not very fast, but we DO need to encase it, ourselves and the sun in a giant Dyson Sphere soon to mitigate the problem.

    While I agree with you, the selfish part of me still hopes Nintendo disagrees with you because then maybe I can one day buy a Nintendo-branded cellphone, at which point my soul will finally be at peace.

    He's very smart. Genius in fact. You see, much like the "great software" this contraceptive doesn't work either.

  8. Re:So the field emulates binocular depth? Bullcrap on Ball Lightning Caused By Magnetic Hallucinations · · Score: 1

    Eh, I dunno. Some types of hallucinations are somewhat less obvious. Mushrooms and LSD come to mind. Also, auditory hallucinations (the type often caused by severe sleep deprivation) definitely have volume and distance. It makes sense that it would be possible to manipulate the visual cortex in some way as to cause hallucinations that also contain depth perception. High powered EM fields directed at specific parts of your brain are somewhat more exotic than "pressing on your eyeballs" after all.

  9. Re:It was GPL before, so is GPL now on Can Employer Usurp Copyright On GPL-Derived Work? · · Score: 1

    According to the employment contract Bob made Alice sign, probably. Luckily Alice probably knows that's unenforceable in the state of California.

  11. Re:I like their commercials on Massive Number of GoDaddy WordPress Blogs Hacked · · Score: 1

    Try out pair.com for basic stuff. If you're trying to do anything resembling real work, however (such as hosting commercial websites) you're going to want the physical hardware all to yourself and $10-15 simply isn't a reasonable price anymore. At that range ($75 and up) I'd recommend serverbeach.com but only if you know what you're doing.

  16. 1 million probably isn't worth his effort. on Perelman Urged To Accept $1m Prize · · Score: 2, Funny

    Here's my theory. He's a genius, a madman and a recluse, as well as everything else people say about him plus one other note: a mushroom farmer. 1$ million probably isn't even worth his time to open the door. "I have all I want" pretty much sums it up. Take your paltry 1$ million and donate it to an appropriate charity. If you really want a minute of his precious time you'll probably have to raise the figure by a couple orders of magnitude.
