  1. Because women, acronyms, muslims, and the Democratic Party's slaves need jobs too.

  2. How much does it cost to ship items like phone screens from Japan? It's a tiny amount.

    Nope. You must have replied to the wrong comment.

    Sigh. All I said was that the US was 3 times larger than India. I never thought half the heads of left wing slashdot posters would take that as such an affront.

    SNL does suck, and Meryl Steep IS overrated. Your other point is too general for me to comment on.

    The United States is three times the size of India.

    So, what you're really saying is that FDR was a NAZI?

  8. This isn't how muscles get stronger. on Robotic Sleeve Mimics Muscles To Keep a Heart Beating (seeker.com) · · Score: 1

    For example, if a patient's heart is weaker on the left side than the right, the sleeve can be tuned to squeeze with more authority on the left side. As the organ gains strength, the device can be adjusted."

    The device should assist the stronger side, making the weak side work harder so it get's stronger. Much like doctors cover the strong eye to treat amblyopia.

  9. Maybe corruption isn't evenly distributed. Did that thought ever occur to you?

    No, it's a mixed economy. Socialists just like to cast it as a Socialist country so that they can have one example of success.

    Sad Trombone.

    No, lots of people have been elected president. Barack Obama got the peace prize because he was elected and is black.

    Sweden is not a socialist country. That's a terrible example.

    That's great. But an you don't have to infringe on mylan's patent, to make a generic epenepherine auto-injector as other companies have done.

    When you record an album, do you pay attention to the order and manner the individual tracks are recorded to the media? Do you try to craft it as a story that should be taken as a whole rather than a random collection of tracks? If so, score one for the cassette over a cd.

  21. Re:It IS hipsterism (if that's a word) on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    If an artist wants to present a story to the listener rather than a collection of paragraphs, there most certainly is a reason to use something like a cassette or a record.

  22. Re:In this economy? on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a reason, certainly from the artist's point of view. It's to present to the listener the concept of an album, rather than a collection of tracks. Something that is meant to be listened to from start to finish. A story.

    I'll pay them money when they remove commercials. Until then, they can pound sand. I will not pay for in-program advertisements. Not now, not ever.

  24. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel. on LG's Upcoming Smartphone G6 Will Have 5.7-inch QHD+ Display Featuring 18:9 Aspect Ratio (koreaherald.com) · · Score: 1

    Give us a powerful phone, with a screen and a camera. That can survive being dropped. And has a battery with excellent capacity. I don't care how many microns "thin" it is. I don't care if I can attach things to the back of it. I don't care if it has modules that come out of it. I don't care if you make it better by making the UI look like it was puked up by a rainbow eating unicorn.

  25. Because solar generation systems turn sunlight directly into electricity. They are already inefficient enough. Converting electricity to some other medium only to convert back into electricity is very wasteful.
