  1. Option? on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 2

    Would be nice to have the option to enable/disable the feature..

  2. Re:Well... on Facebook Spammer Fined $360 Million · · Score: 1

    How many of them just made new accounts?

  3. Bad idea? on Ford Building Cars That Talk To Other Cars · · Score: 1

    Anyone else think this is a horrible idea? People already think they are invincible enough to talk on the phone, head bang, watch movies, and bump extremely loud & obscene music. Do you really think it would be wise to tell them they don't need to pay attention anymore because the cars will do it for them?

  4. Re:Landspeed record for disabled cars? on Aussie Team Smashes Land Speed Record For Solar-Powered Cars · · Score: 1

    But what was their speed at the time they weren't running on batteries? And how do you know for sure that there wasn't any battery power left?

  5. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    I think its wrong that they didn't report the truth. That is what wikileaks is all about IMO.

  6. Re:Sorry, no "dirty tricks" campaign here... on Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London · · Score: 1

    They give you a 75kg sack and say "carry this shit down some stairs and out of the building." If you struggle instead of hurling the thing up on your shoulder and jogging out of the building, you fail.

    Hate to say it by most people weigh more than 165lbs, especially in the USA.

  7. Re:Rather symbolic isn't it? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    But instead they just release these dumps, if only to say "500000 CABLES!"

    I keep seeing people saying that they just "dumped" all these cables without going through them first. Even amazon has said "it is not credible that the extraordinary volume of 250,000 classified documents that Wikileaks is publishing could have been carefully redacted in such a way as to ensure that they weren't putting innocent people in jeopardy," I hardly believe this is true. You can check the wikileaks website yourself wikileaks.ch and see that they have only released 842 cables out of the 251,000 they have. Get that facts straight people. Do the research and use your brain.

  8. Re:Rather symbolic isn't it? on PayPal Withdraws WikiLeaks Donation Service · · Score: 1

    Julian Assange himself has denied that he's a journalist. Next?

    Would it be acceptable to you to call him a free speech activist?

  9. Re:Dont' call your lawyer? on College Student Finds GPS On Car, FBI Retrieves It · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Call your lawyer. Possession is 9 tenths of the law. At least where I live. I have had property disputes with other people, not FBI or Police, but the police did get involved and have told me that even though I had provided proof of ownership and receipt of the said property, since it was in possession of another person it is there right to keep possession of said property. The Item happened to be a laptop computer, which I would consider very similar to the device mentioned in the article.

  10. Re:Paradox alert on NASA Has the Lost Tapes · · Score: 1

    NASA doesn't have any lost tapes. If they have found them, they are by definition not lost anymore. I bet there are dozens of tapes that are lost because nobody knows their location but these tapes are not one of them. Correct headline would be "NASA has the found tapes". Sounds redundant? In the human mind that may be the case but if you think about it long enough, you can only come to this conclusion. Being lost is quite a fleeting and interesting feature and has no doubt been studied by filosophers around the ages.

    BTW philosophers is spelled with a ph. Furthermore, maybe there should say NASA has found the tapes that were once lost.

  11. Re:Penetrate even the best antivirus software? on Students Learn To Write Viruses · · Score: 1

    I actually see this happening more and more. Just the other day I was working on a friend's PC and ran in to a malware program that looked EXACTLY like the windows security center. That's when the pornstar popped up and started reading it to me.

  12. just a question on Google Earth Used To Predict Electrical Problems · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If this is such a major development, why is it just now being created? Haven't we had the technology to do something like this for decades?

  13. Re:Jesus Fucking Christ enough already! on Iron Man Released · · Score: 1

    The reason why it's relevant to this site is because the people who think up and imagine this type of stuff are the very people who inspire scientists and engineers to actually create it.

  14. MADD Should support GTA on MADD Targets GTA IV Over Drunk Driving Scene · · Score: 1

    If anything, I think GTA IV discourages people from driving drunk. Specially if you got a comet xD

  15. Re:Twisted logic gem on Blizzard to Boll - DENIED! · · Score: 1

    Actually he has a point. PC Gamers will typically download games/movies/etc. Although that's far from the truth about console gamers which are an entirely different gamer breed.

  16. Re:yes on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    This may sound mean but does a cow suffer when it is killed instantly with a .44 straight to the brain?

  17. Not selling anymore? on $399 Mac Clone Most Likely a Hoax · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just tried to order onc. This is the response... Error: 2-1-2-P-N--This transaction has been declined. Error: Failure in Processing the Payment (ps_authorize) PS. I was using a real credit card/address/etc.

  18. why on African Americans and the Video Game Industry · · Score: 1

    can't we all just get along? There is no need for any race/ethnicity to be treated any differently than any other. We are all just people and should be treated as such.

  19. Re:Ungrateful Lucas? on Imperial Storm Troopers Skirmish in Latest IP Battle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The storm troopers were originally George Lucas idea in the first place. What was created by Ainsworth was depicted by what George Lucas wanted to see. I believe that still makes is property of Lucasfilm.
