  1. Re:Cue the crying on ATMs That Dispense Gold Bars Coming To America · · Score: 1

    They make a major push to sell collectible coins which is different than pure gold. It isn't in direct relation to the market like bullion so when Goldline has a large mark up even if gold increases in value substantially you may never see a profit when you try to sell.

  2. Re:Old people? on Why Engineers Don't Like Twitter · · Score: 1

    As a 25 year old engineer, I don't see a point in ever using twitter.
    Twitter is not new tech and I see it more for the new mtv generation and not the tech community.

  3. Re:Verizon on Six Major 3G and 4G Networks Tested Nationwide · · Score: 1

    If you look at data consistency they were near the top or won in every region and to most people I think thats more important than pure speed when it comes to a smartphone.

  4. Re:With an attitude like that on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    He even knows what he is saying isn't true. The real difference between the apple and android stores is that the apple users will buy more apps on average where as the android users will not. So thats why he wants to stay on Apple because the average android user won't buy his product.

  5. Re:How do they determine those dates? on Mars Images Reveal Evidence of Ancient Lakes · · Score: 1

    Um questioning science honestly is something people like. Denying science or questioning science via misinformation would make you a heretic.

  6. Re:Equal Enforcement? on EU ACTA Doc Shows Plans For Global DMCA, 3 Strikes · · Score: 1

    Seeing as companies have the same rights as people I don't see why that couldn't be possible.

  7. Re:Refurbishing Nukes... on Aging Nuclear Stockpile Good For Decades To Come · · Score: 1

    Yeah refurbished can be good but I'd wait to see what kind of warranty they're offering.

  8. Re:Here we go again. on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Consider this an Ask Slashdot post because I agree this isn't news for nerds but it is interesting to hear peoples opinion on the matter.

  9. Re:Well, that explains a lot on EA Spends 3x More On Marketing Than Development · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That was true about EA but lately (not including sports) they've been making some good games and taking some chances. Mirrors Edge and skate are two great games which I think were risks that the EA of old never would have taken.

  10. Re:Might as well say first fighter on India's First Stealth Fighter To Fly In 4 Months · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah except the Nighthawk wasn't a fighter it only did ground attacks it had no air to air capability. The naming is a little inaccurate in terms of F117 so we can't blame the media too much for calling it a stealth fighter at least they got the B-2 naming right.

  11. Re:And slope on Steam-Powered Car Breaks Century-Old Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Dropping cars off of a cliff wouldn't claim any speed records though due to terminal velocity. Now with a jet/rocket car it would help though.

  12. Re:And nothing of value got lost? on Nearby, Recent Interplanetary Collision Inferred · · Score: 1

    District 9 maybe. Unless these are aliens who do parkour which would be cool.

  13. Re:Sequels don't have to be bad. on Pixar's Next Three Films Will Be Sequels · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hollywood would never make a movie about a good father let alone a sequel to it.

  14. Re:Microsoft decides to price-gouge on Dell Indicates Windows 7 Pricing Will Be Higher · · Score: 1

    Man those Manatees better watch out you might get offered a job.

  15. Re:Great idea on US Military Issuing iPod Touches To Soldiers · · Score: 1

    If they are talking about snipers you aren't talking about normal grunts and most likely these are also being rolled out for the spec op units for things such as the ability to display a real time UAV feed. So yeah these guys know what they are doing and I'd trust them in a war zone with a piece of electronics over the average person walking down the street.

  16. Prettiest DoS attack on Zombie Macs Launch DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    Do you think the botnet owner charges an apple "tax" as well?

  17. Re:Cough Up Some Hard Evidence, Buddy on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 1

    With terrorism you can blame someone and create an us vs them mentality. With cancer I don't think we are going to see the politician openly come out and blame God.

  18. Re:the term "katrina-like" makes me angry... on Is a 'Katrina-Like' Space Storm Brewing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about them using the term Katrina at all. Just because a bad thing happened to Americans doesn't mean it's the worst natural disaster ever.
