  1. So? on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 5, Funny

    She wasn't wearing them at the time, so who cares?

  2. Re:Computer Science vs. Business Applications on Do High Schools Know What 'Computer Science' Is? · · Score: 1

    Oh $DEITY, the interfaces!

  3. Re:Not science on Do High Schools Know What 'Computer Science' Is? · · Score: 1

    Computer Science still deals with theories and proofs which can be falsified and extrapolated. Just because it doesn't involve the kind of laboratory or field research that biologists may perform does not mean that there is not science involved.

    The Latin root for science is "to know", not "nature".

  4. Re:Oh wow. on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    If you want to protect your kids from porn (as ludicrous as the idea is), it is YOUR responsibility to prevent your children from seeing it.

    Where are the peer-reviewed studies that show that children are "harmed" by porn. Be sure that they define the harm that they experience, as it is likely just growing pains.

  5. Re:Oh wow. on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    You presume that it harms children.

    Why should anyone have to opt-in to a healthy adult desire? The chilling effects of this policy would be far worse than a few kids seeing boobs (good luck stopping them!).

  6. Re:Drivers! on AMD's New Flagship HD 6970 Tested · · Score: 2

    As a counterpoint to your anecdote, every time I buy an Nvidia card (best bang/buck gets my buck usually), I have to deal with awful driver issues.

  7. Re:Poor Michael Bay on Why Special Effects No Longer Impress · · Score: 1

    Actually sounds kinda fun. I won't be there, of course; I'll enjoy other people going deaf though. That is, if you didn't already get hearing damage from the cinema...

  8. This is news how? on 'Jeopardy!' To Pit Humans Against IBM Machine · · Score: 0

    So IBM invented Google? I wish science reporting would be more accurate and say "IBM invents program that takes human speech in a particular sentence structure, parses the grammar, and Googles for a result."

  9. Re:Might be useful on Iron-Eating Bug Is Gobbling Up the Titanic · · Score: 1

    It would be cheaper to just sort the scrap pile than to let bacteria oxidize all that useful metal. We already smelted that stuff once, let's not waste that energy again.

  10. Re:Bollocks on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 2

    You play EVE, so you're a bit of an outlier.

  11. Idiot on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    Better not tell him about the anticipation for The Witcher 2.

  12. Re:As a Muslim on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    For anyone not familiar with the term: "hydrophobia" is another name for rabies

  13. Re:no, you're wrong about Assange on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 2

    How do you suggest "fixing" a government that is corrupt? Do you honestly believe that you could get elected into a corrput system and be allowed to change it? Do you think the majority of people would do something to change it as long as they believe that it works for them?

  14. Re:and ? on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    You think there's a significant difference between the two parties in the US? That's laughable.

  15. Re:Confiscated? on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    PayPal's dubious practices are out in the open, no need to leak. Its just that noone really reports on this. Just look at what happened to the guy that made Minecraft when he started receiving thousands of purchases, totalling up to several million dollars in a few weeks.

  16. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 2

    Moral relativism is an unworkable stance. You can't just let people suffer injustice simply because of their cultural practices.

  17. Re:Credit Card data? on Apple Impasse With Magazines Over Subscriber Data · · Score: 1

    Put down the Dark Tower books already, you're scaring the kids!

  18. Re:Condoms prevent AIDS pretty well on One Night Stands May Be Genetic · · Score: 2

    Why would you brush your teeth before cunnilingus?

  19. Re:Hyuk! on Kentucky Announces Creationism Theme Park · · Score: 1

    Creationists may have their eyes closed to science, but they know how to screw people pretty well. Hell, they've been doing it for all of their supposed history (i.e. the bible).

  20. Re:Ch Ch Ch Changes on WikiLeaks Moves To Swiss Domain After DNS Takedown · · Score: 2

    What, you think something like that would be made to do anything but instill terror?

  21. Re:Antivirus? on AVG 2011 Update Causes Widespread Problems For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 3, Informative

    NoScript and AdBlock Plus are your friends.

  22. Re:Excellent idea thanks to the Professor on Sahara Solar To Power Half the World By 2050 · · Score: 2

    For timescales relevant to any imaginable human civilization, the sun is an inexhaustible supply of energy.

  23. Re:Yes on Apple, Microsoft, Google Attacked For Evil Plugins · · Score: 1

    The first two only serve to show that you locked your house and car for insurance purposes, and the design shows it. Bank vaults get broken into much less frequently, since the people that work in such places won't let you sweet-talk your way into the bank.

  24. Re:Step after that on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    Username/post synergy detected...

  25. Re:Wrong headline on Students Banned From Bringing Pencils To School · · Score: 1

    Pencil lead is not pure graphite; there are some additives that increase plasticity, without which you would just have a mess of carbon all over your paper.
