  1. Ron Paul 2012! on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 4, Informative

    He is the only candidate that is against this sh*t...

  2. Re:Vote 'em out on California Governor Vetoes Ban On Warrantless Phone Searches · · Score: 2

    You sound like you care about your civil liberties yet don't know about Ron Paul? Either you don't really care or you have been sleeping under a rock.

  3. Re:Mouse vs controller on PS3 Counter-Strike To Support Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    Not including mouse/keyboard support on console games is just stupid. They are cutting out an entire segment of games from their console. Worst business decision ever... If it is a multiplayer game, allow them to restrict based upon controller type.

    On a further note, game console developers are just a bunch of fools. They have the perfect machine to take over EVERYTHING having to do with the t.v. They could take cable input directly and handle the shows. They could run every type of game out there. They could run it all, but they are too stupid, and it all starts with them not allowing keyboard and mouse for their game consoles...

    Rant over...

  4. And they wonder... on $39.5 Million Hi-Tech Library Opens In Illinois · · Score: 1

    why people are upset at government spending... a cafe? video games?

    The library in Orange County, Florida will even deliver books/videos to your house...

    This is beyond ridiculous.

  5. Latency is too high for FPS games... on OnLive Aiming To Become Netflix of Games · · Score: 1

    I tried it and it is noticeably slow to your reactions. The video quality is a little low but that didn't really bother me. It was the slight delay when I moved the mouse to when the screen actually responded.

    I think some games are perfectly suited to this type of play style, just not FPS games.

  6. Post your code/data please... on Climate Change and the Integrity of Science · · Score: 1

    As an open source software developer, until they post all their code and data, I will continue to be skeptical of their software models...

  7. Re:It's not even 0.5% of the military budget... on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 1

    Military Budget = 675-ish billion
    NASA Budget = 18-ish billion

    1% of Military Budget would be 6.75 billion.

    So, we are spending 3% of the military budget on NASA.

  8. Re:No problem. We'll just put it on the credit car on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem is that people think we actually can *get* credit from someone. See, there has been a successful campaign to paint China as our creditor. You need to check out the Federal Reserve. They are the ones that create those things called Federal Reserve Notes... That's right, they *create* them with the push of a button. Guess who is buying our debt right now so that we can continue to spend freely? That's right, the Federal Reserve. Where do they get all that money you ask? They create it from thin air. When you or I create money (counterfeiting) we go to jail, when the Federal Reserve does it, it is called saving the economy.

  9. patenting ideas is patently stupid... on Intel Patents On-Chip Cosmic Ray Detectors · · Score: 1

    /sigh They haven't built it... They haven't even designed it... They don't even know if it is possible... Yet... they can patent it? Patents should require proof of a working/workable DESIGN...

  10. Red Hat will close Fedora within 2 years... on Fedora Holds Summit To Map Its Future · · Score: 1

    Just wait and see... Everyone who got burned by RHEL will know and understand what I'm talking about...
