  1. Re:so what if they're minors? on Website Calls Out Authors of Racist Anti-Obama Posts · · Score: 1

    Pointing out that someone said something in public is most certainly NOT putting someone's life in danger. These people uttered words into the public space, there is nothing wrong with repeating thier message and attaching names to those utterances.

  2. Re:So what about developers? on Android Hits 73% of Global Smartphone Market · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Focus on building something useful, forget about profitiable. Build a tool, not a revenue collector.

  3. Re:i don't get it on AMD Hires Bank To Explore Sale Options · · Score: 1

    Because comparing Intel to AMD is foolish. Intel is a monster with fabs and techniques second to none. AMD has always remained the scrappy underdog that had moments of glory, but in the end didnt have enough tricks up its sleeve to fend off the intel juggernaut. The plain fact is, intel processors soundly trump AMD in almost every conceivable metric that matters. Intel has better engineers, better techniques, more money, deeper research, it goes on and on.

  4. Re:Why Do You See This as Anti-White? on With NCLB Waiver, Virginia Sorts Kids' Scores By Race · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    NAACP is anti-white on its face and in its name.

  5. Re:*different* scores for *standardized* tests on With NCLB Waiver, Virginia Sorts Kids' Scores By Race · · Score: 0

    It is Anti-HUMAN. There is only one race of Homo Sapiens.

  6. Re:Amazing on Windows Chief Steven Sinofsky Leaves Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I was going to let your first blatant pro-MS comment in this thread go, but you are definely inching into shill territory now.

  7. Re:Is this supposed to be humorous? on Review: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (video) · · Score: 1

    Pandarians themselves are fine, and fit into the Warcraft universe pretty well. However, basing an entire exansion on them was pretty stupid.

  8. Re:Why accept this? on Sony DVR Useless After Rovi Stops TV Guide OnScreen · · Score: 1

    We buy flash in spite of its known degradation. The Flash makers arent purposefully making write limited devices, its the nature of the tech.

  9. Re:Wow, they have done it again on Geomapping Racism With Twitter · · Score: 1

    The computer drew no conclusions, it merely computed the input it was given, using the parrameters programmed into it. Any profile created is the result of HUMAN thought, not computation,

  10. Re:It's only climate change when NY or NO are floo on NRC Report Links Climate Change To National Security · · Score: 1

    The undisputed major casualty of 9/11 was Liberty. Sandy is NOTHING compared to that.

  11. Re:razer synapse on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My Logitech G700 stores settings on the mouse itself. I can hop from win to mac to linux and all the mappings are the same.

  12. Re:Distinguishing conflict from disagreement on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Why Disagreeing With Religion Isn't Insulting · · Score: 1

    In one breath you chastise Atheists for using impossible where improbable should be, and in the next you do the same damn thing. A non-omniscient human would have a hard time convincing me that something is impossible. Attain all the knowledge in the universe, and then you can espouse on impossibilities.

  13. Re:Kind of sleezy on Microsoft's Hidden Windows 8 Feature: Ads · · Score: 1

    Im talking about on my phone/tablet which has itunes and music as separate but linked apps. I dont think there is a need for a store button in the mp3 player app. Im tired of every device I have continuously trying to sell me things. Stores are great, but there needs to be limits. I dont want computing to become 'all buy all the time', and its headed that direction.

  14. Re:most of us are subject to drug tests on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I have walked out of interviews when they said they required a drug test. I simply will not work for someoen who thinks they can control what i do in my spare time. These decisions have cost me some fortune, but i have a vault full of self-respect.

  15. Re:What? on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Carl Sagan used it to improve his visualations of concepts, as do I. I have a persistent vision that i can only really access while high. Someday ill make a short film out of it.

  17. Re:Kind of sleezy on Microsoft's Hidden Windows 8 Feature: Ads · · Score: 1

    I have to say there is similarity. The Store button is WAY too pominent and it is positioned in a prime button spot. I dont want a store button in my MP3 player at all, thats what itunes is for.

  18. Re:EULA? on Microsoft's Hidden Windows 8 Feature: Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I knew this was coming the moment i saw ads on the new XBox interface and was further reinfirced when MS did everything they could for you to NOT be able to diasable 'Metro'. First and foremost, Metro is there FOR OTHER PEOPLE to use your computers' resources.
