    And yet, we still live better then 95% of all humans who have EVER lived.

    There is pretty much no 'mexican' weed along the U.S.pacific coast. All that shit weed gets shipped East.

    You have no idea how radio comms work do you? Expecting private enterprise to be able to block airwaves is retarded in the extreme, not to mention completely illegal.

    Ugh. The entire idea of the 'death star' shows how little imagination Lucas has. Even moving the death star into a system would effect the planetary orbits. Why would you need a big laser gun when you can simply wobble a planet out of its habitable orbit using the gravity of your space station.

  7. Re:As it says in the article on When Art, Apple and the Secret Service Collide · · Score: 1

    That is not the purpose of art. The purpose of art is to express emotion and thoughts in other ways. It CAN be used to challenge societal norms, but that is not what you are saying.

    Yes, they are quite comical, esp when they are a few doors down from an Apple store. The Apple store is FILLED with people from open to close, the windows store is empty open to close.

    Wait, you respect Grafitti artist for altering someone else's property. Nice logic fault there. Its not up to the graffiti artist to decide what art goes where, they are criminals, flat out.

    Hallucinogenics dont provide anything you dont already have. Consider them a distorted lens to look at reality.

  15. Re:what bubble? on Has the 3-D Hype Bubble Finally Popped? · · Score: 1

    I have the sony 24" Playstation 3D monitor. Its neat , but every time i use it with glasses I say to myself "very few people are ever going to want to use a monitor this way." I myself barely want to use it. I have to admit some games in 3d are pretty sweet like uncharted 3, God of War, batman, etc. FPS/racing view type games arent nearly as compelling.

    Because some of us still use the tuners. TVs and Monitors are legally separate things in the U.S., subject to different rules. Its not as easy as 'lets jsut drop all tuners because i dont see a need for them"

    I feel your pain. I force my Xbox to boot up in MCE mode (its an option in settings) and watch videos from there to avoid all that.

    If you are going the posted speed limit and there are 3 cars behind you, you have NO obligation to move over. I live in CA too.

    This is what amounts to critcial thinking on /.? Autonmous cars will have to break the law to work? I never understood the concept of 'flow of traffic' I am not a sheep and I will travel at a proper speed. Flow of traffic is not cause to exceed safety limits.

    You presume there will be a future where we allow human driven cars on public roads. We lose a lot of humans to road fatalities, there will be serious pushes to eliminate human-driven cars in the future, or at least cars that cant be computer overridden for safety.

  24. Re:No, it'll just be an OPTION on Will Speed Limits Inhibit Autonomous Car Adoption? · · Score: 1

    We already have this stuff in cars. Electronic stability control or whatever you want to call the car being able to act independently of its manual control system to correct a problem. Some modern cars can detect weird motion and apply brake selectively at each wheel thousands of times a second to end the slide/skid/spin. Even just straight up ABS is manual control that gets overridden by the computer.

  25. Re:No COX? on ISP 'Six Strikes' Plan Delayed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Officially, your account is capped at 300 GB/mo. I have the 25 Mbps Cox package and they 'cap' me at 250 GB, although i make sure i never hit that high. They now show your usage on their website if you care to look. Internet Usage i think its called. Somehow i doubt you are pulling 2 TB/mo without hearing anything from Cox.
