    Right and when my stove gets hot, it doesn't really get hot it converts ele... wait.. Get the hell out of my house with this semantic garbage Psychotria.

  2. Re:But is it still IE and Windows only? on Netflix To Lift Streaming Limits · · Score: 1

    PC hooked up to your PC to your TV? I heard mythtv was tough to work, but I didn't know how tough.

  3. Re:Seriously. on National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You're Under 50 · · Score: 1

    They can't really ask for it unless the laws allow them to, or if you're getting arrested as booking information is not really part of your fifth amendment rights. If the laws say they can ask you and you get arrested if you lie, it would have the same effect, real ID or not. The whole issue just seems to be a big masturbatory gesture and thats why I'm opposed to it.

  4. Re:Cue first BSoD joke in... 3...2..1... on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 1

    If your car can't receive something as simple as a weather alert in 10 years, I don't think it'll be driving automated.

    Theres more road conditions than just winter ice, and I'm sure the cars would have some sort of compensation, chances are slowing down more than people do already in order to give a greater mechanical reaction time. If the tech isn't to that point in 10 years, don't drive in the ice or go manual.

    Its a mistranslation you insensitive clod! He means the studios.

  8. Re:So What Happens Afterwards? on Investors, "Beware" of Record Companies · · Score: 1

    Either individual IP, or the entire company will be sold off for debts, or the company itself will be bought/merged. Only way to make old IP disappear is to change the laws or wait until the expiration period. Bigger issue is the new music.

  9. Re:Search Engine based in Wiki? on Wikia Search Engine to be Launched on January 7th · · Score: 1

    Yes, the internet has a clear left wing bias. I'm no fan.

    I agree, they'd be missing the slave trade.

    The entire point is the power being on. Most folks don't drop a powered off mobile phone in the toilet.

    Thats what I said.

  14. Re:Internal or export? on WTO Awards Caribbean Country Right to Ignore US Copyright · · Score: 1

    Correct, because if they did, WTO could just say "Online Gambling is Legal" and be done with it.

    Yes, the free market is so good at managing intellectual property.

  16. Re:Funny I ignore both equally on Web Ads Work Better Than TV Ads · · Score: 1

    I hear Head On is homeopathic anyway, so just stick your head under the faucet for the exploding head. You'll get the same result.

  17. Re:First investment on How Would You Design Your Dream Office? · · Score: 1

    I felt like I was listening to someone's uncle. It wasn't unpleasant, reading that, but I have a feeling I've taken nothing away from it.

  18. Depends On The Player on Wii Can't Replace Actual Exercise · · Score: 1

    Some folks go nuts with Wii sports and jump all around, but chances are the kids are just sitting around. I swear I think my aunt is going to tear down my house half the time and is pretty much exhausted afterwards.

  19. Re:Old and Pointless News on Quoted in Google News? Post a Comment · · Score: 1

    Why? Because 75% of the time, when I'm interviewed for an article, I have a sexual attraction to the quoter. I'm flattered.

  24. Value Verses Papers on Making a Buck Online - Without Ads · · Score: 1

    Some may consider Consumer Reports valuable and trusted, and thus will pay for their information online. On the other hand, papers lose the regional confines when the internet is thrown into the equation, and when there are so many sources for news, international, regional or otherwise, few would subscribe to a paper just to get their particular slant or editorials. That would mean something really unique had to be offered in order to justify paying via subscription.

  25. Re:High Tech Barcode Scanner? on Bar Codes Keep Surgical Objects Outside Patients · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, whenever I walk into the local Weis grocery store, I feel like I'm in a sea of technology. That or rotten produce, I can't tell the difference.
