  1. People can use guns to shoot people on Is RFID Really That Scary? · · Score: 1

    Oh really? Has anyone ever seen someone has shot someone with a gun? Well yes. Just because it hasn't happened yet, (if it hasn't) it will happen. Go wave your credit card at the gas pump, while the guy on the other side of the pump grabs your rfid signal and uses it to pay for his gas too.

  2. No objeciton to 3d on Filmmakers Resisting Hollywood's 3-D Push · · Score: 1

    We will know that 3D movies have made it, when they can make one in which nothing ever jumps out at you. When it is just there to tell the story and not a gimmick. That has not happened yet.

  3. Re:More Info & Dashboard on Global Warming 'Undeniable,' Report Says · · Score: 1

    This is what the community calls facts? That the "entire International Scientific community" believes in man made global warming(AGM). Let's be sure to create our "facts" in pursuit of suppressing public opinion.

  4. Re:Obviously... on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was thinking the same, only I was going to say it's their private key.

  5. Re:Well? on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 1

    You're right the question posed in the topic is not really the question at all. I hope someone gets fired over that blunder!

  6. I need one for my car on Set Free Your Inner Jedi (Or Pyro) · · Score: 1

    Cut me off and burst into flames!

  7. Re:The steady slide to Police State continues on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    To me, shows like COPS are illustrative of the problem. I can't watch it, because I start screaming at the TV, due to the police (sometimes) violating peoples rights, and more often people not exercising their rights. I find it ironic that the police don't want to be filmed, but they want us to be filmed constantly! Cameras on every traffic light now!

  8. Comming to a hospital near you on Doctor Slams Hospital's "Please" Policy · · Score: 1

    This is all just a preview of Obamacare. If we don't get it repealed.

  9. Re:Playstation, ask the Xbox how this one turned o on Sony To Detail "Premium PSN" Plans At E3 · · Score: 1

    There is silver and gold. I am a silver member. Silver = Not Gold. As a silver member you can go online. You can purchase game / items from the online store. I can't play games with online connectivity. I refuse to pay a monthly fee to play. Sometimes my games come with a free month of gold, but I don't even use that. The only thing I have ever bought, were expansion packs and songs for rock band.

  10. Re:And nothing could possibly go wrong... on Can World's Largest Laser Zap Earth's Energy Woes? · · Score: 1

    How do you keep a star traveling through space and rotating with the earth? Wouldn't it tend to stay stationary in space, and rip through swaths of earth each year as we passed it in our orbit?

  11. Will it auto update regardless? on Sony Can Update PS3 Firmware Without Permission · · Score: 1

    If I don't agree and stay on my current version, but I still connect to the network, and then a forced upgrade comes out... Will I be force upgraded without every agreeing to that? And then when I sue them they will say, you agreed when the software installed? (by itself) Furthermore, I guess this means no more EULA changes since the upgrades will go on automatically.

  12. Re:Wot? on Treasury Goes High-Tech With Redesigned $100 Bills · · Score: 2, Funny

    I actually find the $100 denomination to be too small. If you deal in cash, carrying around a relatively small amount of money, just a few thousand, is prohibitive. Try stuffing $3000 in your wallet.

  13. Re:Papers Please! on US Immigration Bill May Bring a National Biometric ID Card · · Score: 1

    It's not the corporations demanding the ID card. It's the fascist politicians.

  14. Ummhave you read the emails on Debunking a Climate-Change Skeptic · · Score: 2, Informative

    You may want to read the emails out of East Anglia, you know the primary site for the study of AGW? You know the people who admit there has been no warming for 15 years! If we listen to the AGW extremists we should have all burned up by now. Science and politics have ugly babies!

  15. if you don't like it, run for shool board on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    Elections have consequences. These board members ran and were elected. They have the right to choose the books they want. If you don't think they are intellectual enough, then elect intellectuals. Just because they are being lobbied, does not mean they will make an ill-informed decision. Your anti-Texas bigotry aside.

  16. 60% of all statistics are made up on the spot on Political Affiliation Can Be Differentiated By Appearance · · Score: 0

    60%, not far enough off from standard deviation to make me care. Just more crap, how much did this study cost me?

  17. Re:Possibilities on 5th Underhanded C Contest Now Open · · Score: 1

    This is the method I would use, I was already thinking this before I read your post. I'm sure this method will be implemented a lot.

  18. Re:McCain on FCC Begins Crafting Net Neutrality Regulations · · Score: 1

    Crap like this makes me sad to be a republican. Drudge has a posting saying net neutrality = fairness doctrine. And a headline saying that the FCC wants to regulate the internet, in big scary letters. Net neutrality is such and simple and good idea, I don't even understand why this is political, and why repubics are on the wrong side of this.

  19. I don't see the problem on NVidia Cripples PhysX "Open" API · · Score: 1

    I guess it never occurred to me to spend hundreds of dollars on a graphics/physics card only to not use one of the primary functions. I have an nvidia card, I don't notice the physics stuff, doesn't seem to make a difference anyway.

  20. Let me be clear on US Switch To DTV Countdown Begins · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's about damn time. I have thrown away old HDTVs already!

  21. Re:News Flash on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 1

    Nice catch. lol. Too much WoW I guess.

  22. Ummm no? on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 1

    Between ABP and firefox... I forget the internet even has adds.

  23. republicans? on Apple Disclosures About Jobs To Face SEC Review · · Score: 1

    I can't read the article because it's a bad link, but why that tag? If you use apple products your automatically a dem?

  24. Re:Oh Noes! on Microsoft Knew About Xbox 360 Damaging Discs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I never thought I would say this on slashdot but RTFA! From TFA: Several ongoing lawsuits charge that the Xbox 360 is defectively designed because tilting or swiveling the video game console can scratch game discs playing inside.

  25. Re:Alice? on Best Introduction To Programming For Bright 11-14-Year-Olds? · · Score: 1

    I agree with this, i let my kids play with alice, they love it and don't realize they are learning. They are just making movies...
