    they are the cause of fat women or something.

    Well, they do sell a lot of TVs.

  4. Re:No. on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    Having faith that Scientists are not fibbing about their proof is slightly different then having faith in something with no proof.

  5. Re:Require? on Requiring Algebra II In High School Gains Momentum · · Score: 1

    What is "Algebra I" and "Algebra II" You can call it anything you want. I'd me more interested in knowing what standards/concepts were being taught. In my school it went Algebra I, Algebra II, GTA (Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra III) or Geometry as a stand alone, Pre-Calc, and if you were advanced, Calc I at the Community College. Algebra I and II were required.

    The insurance company worked out a "bulk" deal with the hospital and does not have to pay "full price".

    That is, until the Wizard gives him a brain.

  10. Re:Useless Piece of Crap on Crowdfund a Moon Monolith Mission? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, lots of people seem to enjoy masturbating. But I am sure you don't. You spend every penny towards bettering the world and helping your fellow man, right?

  11. Re:Stupid? Really? on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    That's f*cking stupid, and you're f*cking stupid for writing it.

    Many have been conditioned to see that statement as rude or offensive. Simply because someone is conditioned differently from you hardly makes them rude or offensive.

  12. Re:I'm not hopeful on Attachmate To Acquire Novell For $2.2B Cash · · Score: 1

    Doesn't sound like a bad idea during an economic downturn. Cut expenses while maintaining as much revenue as possible until things get better.

  13. Re:Hunters and responsibility on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's their excuse, not motive.

  14. Re:Bungie??? LOL! on Mega Man Designer Explains Japan's Waning Video Game Influence · · Score: 1

    Woosh is the sound of the point of my post going over your head.

  15. Re:Bungie??? LOL! on Mega Man Designer Explains Japan's Waning Video Game Influence · · Score: 2, Insightful

    AS someone who played all of the Quake's when they came out, GoldenEye was fantastic because me and my friends could all play together at a moments notice at anyone house. Transporting a Console game (and possibly system) is a lot easier then setting up a LAN party. That's what made it soo much fun, the group experience.

  16. Re:Evidence on Some Netflix Users Have Rated 50,000 Shows · · Score: 1

    A shame that Netflix only has titles that were released after Netflix was created... Oh wait.

  17. Re:Well I don't think it'll be a problem like that on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The more expensive oil gets, the more alternatives are attractive.

    Like strip mining the Rockies for Oil Shale.

  18. Re:Latency? on Lo-Fi Phones and the Future · · Score: 1

    My experience with Skype, VOIP, and even to a lesser degree cell phones is that they all have latency worse than landlines. Is this actually true?

    Depends on your connection speed. Sometimes when playing a game that taxes my computer & Internet connection I can say something in Vent and then ~1 min later when someone else says something, I can hear my comments playing in the background.

    So it is possible to have latency issues.

  19. Re:More broadly... TFA is just plain dumb on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 1

    I love Netflix. I guess I should include a disclaimer to include that I don't actually see commercials anymore between Netflix and Tivo.

  20. Re:More broadly... TFA is just plain dumb on Six Reasons Why Flash Isn't Going Away · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: I DNRTFA However, I thought the article was supposed to be about why Flash isn't going away. Those seemed like reasons why companies would want to keep Flash around. While users might prefer a Flashless internet, companies may prefer a Flash filled internet. Much in the same way, I'd prefer a commercialess broadcast T.V., but N.B.C. prefers to give me commercials every ~8 min.

  21. Re:Good! on Top Authors Make eBook Deal, Bypassing Publishers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    None, because the return on investment would be horrible. Your husband's return on time invested would be better spent being a day laborer outside of Home Depot. He's doing this for the love of the book and not the business aspect of it. Most professional authors wouldn't spend that much time on a single book unless they were doing it as a side project and more of a personal project then a professional project.

  22. Re:Obesity? on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    Staggering? Really? I would think most people stopped walking to the store when they received their first bike then proceeded to stop biking to the store when they received their first car.

  23. Re:Of course, he's a professional... on Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame · · Score: 1

    I thought that too. It's pretty much a "Hire Me" video.

  24. Re:Uhhh... on RIAA Calls YouTube-Viacom Decision Bad Public Policy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I thought not even the RIAA could justify Viacom's side of this case.

    c'mon.. you know RIAA could justify anything.
