  1. Re:How? on Dropped Shuttle Toolbag Filmed From Earth · · Score: 1

    Drop doesn't necessarily imply "towards your feet."

  2. Re:Of course on After Columbine, Eric Holder Advocated Internet "Restrictions" · · Score: 1

    Well Congress is setting up the economy perfectly for him to send us into a second great depression.

  3. Re:Wow on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 1

    It's probably the money.

  4. Re:A crime called 'Treason'. on Physicist Admits Sending Space-Related Military Secrets To China · · Score: 1

    Yeah, let's give them a copy of the F-22 and see how they can improve it. Maybe they have a few tips for us?

  5. Re:shouldn't be legal on The Trap Set By the FBI For Half Life 2 Hacker · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I love how this was modded down. What a joke. The parent is exactly right. Drugs like cocaine, meth, etc. all distort the perception of whoever takes them to the point where they can and DO harm others around them with or without realizing they're doing so.

  6. Re:Just throwing a radical theory out there... on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 1

    I can agree with the first part, but the second part of your statement was uncalled for.

  7. New Support Group on Researchers Developing Cancer-Fighting Beer · · Score: 2, Funny

    For those who just can't brink themselves to drink. Teetotalers Anonymous.

  8. Like introducing exotic species on Geoengineering To Cool the Earth Becoming Thinkable · · Score: 1

    Playing with the environment on such a massive scale has a very high probability of unknown sideffects. Like introducing introducing the cane toad in Australia or Kudzu in North America.

  9. Re:I don't get it on Now Even Photo CAPTCHAs Have Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    Or rather just show a picture of some object and have the user identify it.

  11. Re:It's only a matter of time on How Nvidia Wants To Bring 3D Glasses Back · · Score: 1

    It'll be the biggest thing since reality porn!

  12. Re:Wow... on Which Vendors Do You Trust For PC Parts? · · Score: 1

    Tennessee doesn't have state income tax.

  13. Re:Welfare States on Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law · · Score: 1

    Which is probably why those states vote Republican. Because they witness first hand the mess that programs like welfare cause.

    You aren't doing people a favor by giving them money for nothing. All you're doing is breeding laziness and incompetence.

    Ironic isn't it?

  14. Re:It's simply the Mac business model on Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been using Vista since it came out, and not once has it crashed. If people actually tried Vista, they'd realize it's not even one hundredth as bad as Mac's advertising campaign made it out to be.

  15. Re:because it is not transferable genetically on Let the Games Be Doped · · Score: 1

    The problem with doping is the same one with modern news: it favors the individual instance instead of favoring the system.

    Well said.

  16. Re:A local radio station was having fun on Google News Has Russian Army Invading Savannah, GA · · Score: 1

    Here here. I think this is a case of the Dunning Kruger Effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect The less someone knows, the more the overestimate their level of knowledge.

  17. Real Genius? on Air Force Looks To Laser-Proof Its Weapons · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Mitch Taylor and Christopher Knight can solve this problem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Genius

  18. Re:Snitch! on Google Caught On Private Property · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How is this flamebait? Very poor moderation here.

  19. Re:Why can't he sell it back? on Switching To Solar Power – One Month Later · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because that's exactly how it works.

    Where the hell is Jody Foster at a time like this?

    The F-22 does stuff TO bad guys FOR you.

  22. Re:Umm...what's the point..... on A Grand Day Out For British Rocketman · · Score: 1

    Woah... before this discussion goes any further. You can launch into orbit from any longitude or latitude. It's easiest (takes less fuel) to get into orbit at the equator because that's where you have the most speed (Earth's rotational velocity). And its easiest to get into geosynchronous orbit from latitudes closest to the equator because the closer you are, the less inclination you can launch into.

  23. Re:Dolt on Prediction Markets and the 2008 Electoral Map · · Score: 1

    That article is full of crap. An average of 70 days to see a doctor? I don't think so. I can cite a 1000 examples of that counter that claim, but probably my best example is of my brother who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called DSRCT. He noticed his belly button was red, my parents took him to the doctor, and that day he was being scanned by an MRI. And he was hospitalized as soon as they identified the type of cancer he had.

    Socialized medicine has been proven to work far better than privatized? LOL Are you kidding me? Have you been to countries like England and seen the state of their health care? They have rampant problems with Necrotizing fasciitis. Not to mention how clogged their hospitals are. It's insane. Maybe if you did a little research and visited a country with the type of healthcare you'd like to have here in the US, you'd realize how foolish that is. http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1019/p04s01-woeu.html
