  1. Re:I don't watch TV, never missed an episode... on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 1

    "A high school classmate of mine works at Fox and told me not to watch anything online which I fear will be cancelled because they don't count those views."

    ----

    Unless you are a "Nielsen family", watching the show on TV outright doesn't get counted either. So what's his point?

  2. I never thought I'd ever use this in a sentence... on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 1

    But Brian Austin Green really helped the show. The whiny Australian-Asian woman that was supposedly his girlfriend, however, did not.

  3. Re:Missing the big picture here on Sarah Connor Chronicles — Why It Died · · Score: 1

    In itself I don't mind the concept of a 1920's Terminator at all....I just don't like the way they presented it.

    Oops...I meant to say this:

    But she was being interrogated by a man that she supposedly killed several episodes back, just minutes after first encountering him. What about that, then?

    I *still* don't get that interrogation episode. It was all in her head, right? But I seem to recall that the bad guys actually got informatin out of her during that time.

    Or that episode where Glau is hanging out in the Library with a guy in a wheelchair that is supposedly friends with her yet was never seen before while they read a story about a 1920's Terminator.

    Still I'm pissed to see it go....mostly becuase it ended on such a cliffhanger!

  8. 40-year low interest loans on The Coder Behind the Mortgage Meltdown · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That played a large part in this problem. I was eyeing a home from around 2000-2001. Proces were still reasonable. Then the rates dropped to ridiculous lows. Great, right? But then that caused a mad rush on homes, driving the prices to even more ridiculous highs. At that point, your monthly payment became even higher than when the interest rates were higher. At that point I dropped out of the market for a house. Who the hell else didn't see this coming? Who was Alan Greenspan really helping by keeping the rates so low?

  9. Re:Put yourself in their shoes on Air Force One Flyby Causes Brief Panic In NYC · · Score: 1

    You know, during that 20-minute interval, I bet there were people on the upper floors of the south Tower that figured that a similar plane hitting them could not reasonably happen......

  10. All they have to do is walk a few blocks.... on Chinese Hackers Targeting NYPD Computers · · Score: 1

    One Police Plaza is just south of Chinatown.

  11. How voted this clown into office? on New York Wants To Tax Internet Downloads · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's right - NOBODY did.

  12. Re:Finally on Hackers Finally Unlock iPhone 3G · · Score: 1

    Um, huh? Since when is there a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone?

  13. Re:Am I missing something or on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    I didn't see being kinder and gentler to murderers as being a logical argument. Nor is it illogical that I'd vote for a party that tends to be harder on murderers, since that's important to me.

  14. Re:Am I missing something or on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    Wow....people like you are why I vote Republican. And there's much that I don't like about that party.

  15. Re:Am I missing something or on Hans Reiser To Reveal Location of Wife's Body · · Score: 1

    "Kinda sad"?? Do you actually think that a person should enjoy life on the street while their victim remains rotting in the grave?

  16. Why does marketshare really matter? on Should Mac Users Run Antivirus Software? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If there were widespread vulnerabilities in OS X the way Windows does, wouldn't someone want the bragging rights to say that they wrote the first OS X virus?

  17. Re:Couldn't be that hard to find the guy. on Impress Your Friends While Watching "Untraceable" · · Score: 1

    Remember - we still can't seem to be able to track down who's been uploading beheading videos to Al-Queda websites. Hell, we still can't seem to be able to shut down Al-Queda websites.

  18. Re:Cinematic Titanic versus RiffTrax/Film Crew on Joel Hodgson Answers · · Score: 1

    Agreed - I enjoy both eras, probably Mike just a bit better though, and my being exposed to the show after he took over was probably a factor. But I have to give Joel special credit for stating it all.

    In any case, I feel like there's room both both splinters of MST3K to flourish. Does the fact that I bought 2 volumes of The Film Crew mean that I won't be ordering Cinematic Titantic? Hell no.

  19. Re:"The Split" and RiffTrax on Joel Hodgson Answers · · Score: 1

    Ouch. Damn that sucked hard. Thanks for informing me.

    Personally, whenever I watch episodes with my gf, we tend to skip right past the 'bot skits.

  20. Re:"The Split" and RiffTrax on Joel Hodgson Answers · · Score: 1

    "MST3K bot shorts"?? What are you referring to?

  21. Re:So you are saying... on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    I admit I cannot fathom how NYers voted for her the past 2 times. Maybe they didn't realize she was just filling the seat for higher gains? In any case, it didn't help that the Republicans put losers against her in the 2 elections.

  22. Whatever on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    She seems a bit too full of herself if she thinks that she's got a lock on the Presidency. I can't imagine many NYers voting for her, after the way she carpetbagged her way into taking a Senate seat that should have gone to someone actually from NY, then proceeded to use that seat to beef up her presidency chest, doing nothing for the State that elected her to begin with. Have people forgotten that she bought a house in Chappaqua with only a month to go to satisfy the residency requirements for NY? Yeah, she really just thought that NY was a great place to live and all that.

    (While I have many disgreements with Chuck Shumer, I do believe he at least has the interest of NYers at heart).

  23. Re:Think of the Interns! on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it bothered her, but she knew back then that she wanted to make a run for President, and knew that having the Clinton name is worth more than preserving her dignity. What a role model, huh?

  24. Better use of donating $200 on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    Sterilizations - that will do much more good in the long term.

  25. Re:Competition is good on Intel, Microsoft Despised the XO Laptop · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that nobody forced these people to breed under squalor in the first place. That's a point that is too often missed.
