  1. How many people really use OTA broadcasts nowadays on Millions of Smart TVs Vulnerable To 'Red Button' Attack · · Score: 1

    I'd say everyone who is like me and refuses to "pay for TV". Really, have you ever actually watched what they pay for? Commercials with commercials embedded in them, that is what people who think you "pay for TV" pay for.

  2. Maybe you're right but... on NRC Human Spaceflight Report Says NASA Strategy Can't Get Humans To Mars · · Score: 1

    ...to say we did it just to prove that we could is a pretty big motivator in itself. Suprisingly enough to the 1%, profit is not the only motivation in life.

  3. Why wouldn't they? Everybody knows that what... on NSA Collecting Millions of Faces From Web Images · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ....you put online stays online. Forever!!

  4. Economic dependence on The Energy Saved By Ditching DVDs Could Power 200,000 Homes · · Score: 1

    Maybe it will save energy, but it would keep me subservient to the content producers and that is a cost I'm just not willing to incur. When I "own" the contents of a DVD I expect to be able to watch it whenever I want on whichever device I choose.

  5. Re:I believe it because.. on Parenting Rewires the Male Brain · · Score: 1

    And for those who wish to pass on their DNA to future generations.

  6. I believe it too on Parenting Rewires the Male Brain · · Score: 1

    What else could explain a man's willingness to become monogamous despite his overwhelming desire to lay every female he encounters? The desire to procreate is overwhelming in normal human beings and only a genetic deathwish could motivate one to not pass on his DNA.

  7. Re:Get 10% less fuel economy with E10... on Has the Ethanol Threat Manifested In the US? · · Score: 1

    The "tea partiers" are just Republicans trying to keep true libertarians in the fold. They won't go anywhere until they finally cut the cord.

  8. You are right, it is backwards! on Professors: US "In Denial" Over Poor Maths Standards · · Score: 1

    The poorer the background of the student, the more that should be spent on his education. The way things are now, what with those with the nmost getting the most, is completely backwards for an equality for everyone society.c

  9. Not a gamer on The Truth About OpenGL Driver Quality · · Score: 1

    Not being a gamer, I'm all okay with waiting for the rich kid's hardware to catch up. Besides, too much graphics capibility seems to do nothing but encourage developers to force all sorts of ridiculous visual doodads on software that really needs to do nothing but serve as point and click program launchers.

  10. Microsoft is dead on Microsoft Doesn't Have Plans For a Dedicated Handheld Gaming Device · · Score: 1, Troll

    They lost the battle when they couldn't force everyone to use their shit on every device owned. High five to them for trying though.

  11. Full backup, reinitialize, reinstall on China Censors "The Big Bang Theory" and Other Streaming Shows · · Score: 1

    Just that episode explains why I love Big Bang Theory, it is so much fun to laugh at yourself! Maybe I'm just not geeky enough to get offended?

  12. I'm unclear on Plant Breeders Release 'Open Source Seeds' · · Score: 0

    How can a seed that has been released into nature not be open source? Seeds, by there very nature, seek to profilierate sot it would obviously take unnatural forces to prevent them from doing so. Certainly, at least, no human govenment would make it illegal to not prevent nature from taking it's course.

  13. Re:deepwater horizon didn't happen? on MIT Designs Tsunami Proof Floating Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Of course it happened, which is why BP will be chosen to head up this project.

  14. Prediction on Will Cameras Replace Sideview Mirrors On Cars In 2018? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I predict that Republicans will be in charge in 2018, so only the 1% will be able to buy a new car. For the other 99% this won't be an issue until 2025, if man is still alive and woman can survive.

  15. WHEATON!!!! on Wil Wheaton Announces New TV Show · · Score: 1

    First I played the bunny because you lied to me about your memaw, then you beat my Crushers by breaking up a relationship, but I robbed you of the lost 21 seconds. Bazinga!!!!

  16. The source is open! on Mozilla Scraps Firefox For Windows 8, Citing Low Adoption of Metro · · Score: 1

    If enought want to support Firefox on Win8, then Win8 will succeed! As of now though, Microsoft doesn't want Firefox to succeded on Win8. Savvy consumers will only buy the things that support the things they want to be supported.

  17. Re:Being forced to submit... on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 1

    So heaven is available to anyone whether or not they follow your God's law? Say, for instance, that I preach that your particular God sucks donkey balls, would he/she hold that against me? We all know a human would, but what about a God?

  18. Anymore, Google has become... on Goodbye, Google Voice · · Score: 1

    ...synomous with being spied upon. Because of their past goodness I would like to defend them, but when even the login to their services defaults to "staying logged in" even though they present that staying logged in could be a security risk makes one question Google's ultimate motives here. One would think that if Google truly valued privacy above all else Google would do what ever it takes to keep their user's secure above all else. I hate to hate on someone who has done me so good in the past, but what Google does in the present is what counts.

  19. Being forced to submit... on Religion Is Good For Your Brain · · Score: 1

    ...to a "higher authority" is pretty damn stressfull in itself. Are there any Gods out there that don't require some type of worship or submission to their will to avoid being punished in some manner? Am I the only who feels that what they demand is more human than Godlike?

  20. Re:Stupid beyond words on Hungarian Law Says Photogs Must Ask Permission To Take Pictures · · Score: 1

    So what would work for everyone, for both the people who want to take pictures and for those that don't want their picture taken simply because they were in a public forum? Maybe public "privacy" zones? Seems quite the delimna for me.

  21. Re:Just start the war already! on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 1

    True, it was the USSR's hunger for land that contributed to the fall of Poland. In the end that hunger led to the deaths of tens of millions of Russian's, but the USSR felt at the time the lives of tens of millions of Russian's was a fair price to pay.

  22. Re:Normal. on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 1

    Just what is it that you think is wrong here?

  23. Re:Normal. on School Tricks Pupils Into Installing a Root CA · · Score: 1

    So do you think it would ethical and legal to do everything within your power to prevent a child from plummeting into an abyss? It is their network, it is their property. Unless you are okay with letting anyone and everyone trespass over what is yours then you have to agree that the owners of property have a right to control access to that property.

  24. Curious as to why this is needed on Legal Motion: Hyperlinks Are Protected By the First Amendment · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If I post a link to a website that which at that moment doesn't host "forbidden" content but later does, am I liable for providing access to said "forbidden" content? Logic would dictate that a person can only be held accountable for their own actions, not the actions of another.

  25. Tyson on PETA Abandons $1 Million Prize For Artificial Chicken · · Score: 1

    Tyson has the artificial chicken market cornered. Seriously, try cooking up one of their birds and see if it actually taste like chicken. They are the reason why brining and marinating has become necessary before you can consume breast meat.
