  1. Re:Recyle Recyle Recyle.... on RIPE Region Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 2

    Yea, some still use apps written for IE6 and haven't moved since.

    Redoing their network to accept IPv6 is not going to be high on their priority.

  2. Re:Popular vote on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Many yes, but far too many feel that "If that's the price we have to pay for safety, then so be it".
    Which of course has SO much wrong with it.

  3. Re:Still thinks Japan is the center of the world on Nintendo WiiU Price and Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Well Nintendo and Sony are both Japanese companies, while Microsoft is American.

  4. Re:so.. A holodeck? on Microsoft Patent Details Whole-Room Projection Game Environment · · Score: 1

    I wonder if maybe it's just a natural progression of technology.
    We have monitors then projectors so why not a four way projector? And at the time TNG was on we had primitive VR technology.

    Why Troi?

    So she can crash my holodeck?

  6. Re:so.. A holodeck? on Microsoft Patent Details Whole-Room Projection Game Environment · · Score: 1

    Easy fix... use multiple projectors and throw in some force fields for good measure.

    It'd probably be the end of mankind.

    Who would want to leave when you can stay in your holo-fantasy world with your holo-fantasy GF.

    Well a holodeck does use Holoprojectors.

    so.. A holodeck?

  10. Re:Not new on Cutting the Power Cable: How Advantageous Is Wireless Charging? · · Score: 1

    As I recall induction charging is OK for a toothbrush that you only use for a few minutes a day and has hours to charge, and has a low draw on the battery. Smartphone is basically opposite of that.

  11. Re:Reminds me of the Printer affair on Activision Blizzard Secretly Watermarking World of Warcraft Users · · Score: 1

    All printer manufactures do this.
    It's done at the request of the government, for officially anti-counterfeiting purposes.

  12. Re:Unsubstantiated Rubbish on Activision Blizzard Secretly Watermarking World of Warcraft Users · · Score: 1

    How do you account for the pattern then?

  13. Re:Do I have to sign anything to use it? on Valve Reveals Gaming Headset, Teases Big Picture · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just FYI that clause is in pretty much every contract you have ever signed.

    Lease on Apt? Loan? Mortgage? Amazon, EA, Ebay, Newegg, etc...

  14. Re:'You know the problem with the other app stores on Windows Phone 8 SDK — By Appointment Only · · Score: 1

    Seriously, that's basically what sells a smartphone platform now.

    You can have the greatest HW ever but if there are no apps to take advantage of it...

  15. Re:Stupid question... on NASA's Giant Crawler-Transporter Is Getting an Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Yea, who needs accurate information for claims that you specially refused to back up.
    Maybe if you were not so abrasive people would not go out of their way to look-up your stuff.

  16. Re:Why is this even a issue ? on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 1

    Except you were in fact advocating that it be taught, even if not along side Evolution, to teach it as a comparable concept of how things came about.

    Evolution does not deal with the origin of life, and even less with the origin of the universe.

  17. Re:Stupid question... on NASA's Giant Crawler-Transporter Is Getting an Upgrade · · Score: 4, Informative

    Wiki disagrees with you. It's ONE of the largest, it's not THE largest.

    On the first day, Man created God.

  19. Re:Why is this even a issue ? on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 0

    But that's just it, one is a scientific theory, the other is religious dogma from a book full of inaccuracies and false information.

    Furthermore why not mix in the origin story from the Egyptians, or Greeks while we're at it? They have as much credibility as the Christian one.

  20. Re:This fundamentalist applauds loudly on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 2

    Same thought process here.

    If it's not meant to be taken literal then how do you know when it should or should not?

    Seems like all the stuff science/history has proven to be false or impossible is NOT meant as literal and all the stuff that has yet or has been proven accurate is supposed to be taken literal; in which case it's just a God of the Gaps argument.

  21. Re:"Teach the controversy" my ass. on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 3, Informative

    Many secular parents have an issue with that.

    Homeschooling textbooks cater to the religious crowd so much, that secular parents basically cannot even touch the science books as they will be filled with so much nonsense.

  22. Re:Teach the controversy on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 2

    Yea, there are as many origin stories as there are civilizations. People who advocate for such things though, only want to teach the common Christian mythos on Creationism though; as anything else is just crazy of course.

  23. Re:I don't understand on Bruce Willis Considering Legal Action Against Apple Over iTunes Collection · · Score: 1

    Don't some people still have the DRM music?

    As I recall you had to pay extra for the + versions and even then when it all went DRM free, some tracks were not available and the ones that were had to pay a few cents extra for.

    No one likes, or wants Grammar Nazis around.
    Best to ignore them.

    Someone should write up an Apocalypse story about how the word and it's technology was ended though over zealous lawyers and patents.
