    Bah, in my day we had mice with just one button, and we liked it! Get off my lawn!

  3. Re:Die fighting, die trying, die hard... on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Any science fiction requires suspension of disbelief. The ones that do succeed do it in an entertaining manner, and I think "Fringe" fills that bill. Walter is both hilarious and frightening and Walternate is just frightening period. The fact that John Nobe can pay al the aspects of the characters so well is a tribute to him as an actor and one reason I enjoy "Fringe" so much.

  5. Re:Yay! on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    Isn't it really just a matter of (very little) time until ebay and many other websites are flooded with the new tool available for purchase? I mean, I don't think Apple can invent a geometric figure for a screwdriver point that no one else can manufacture.

    Wait a couple of months and the Chinese will sew up the problem and sell them for $3

  6. Re:80% due to human error? on Road Train Completes First Trials In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Fact is that most of the cars on the road aren't well maintained. A lot of drivers think that their cars need maintenance or just don't care

  10. Re:Duh? on Mail Service Costs Netflix 20x More Than Streaming · · Score: 1
    I've been a Netflix subscriber since the beginning and mainly used the mailing service because I didn't want to watch the movies on my PC. When the ROKU device came out I bought one to attach to my LCD so I could watch the streaming movies the way I liked. I used streaming more and more and I finally gave up the mailing service altogether for the streaming service only $7.95 plan (so I'm cheap sue me) Sure the movies for streaming haven't always included what I wanted to watch, but they have been improving on that with some movies that are more current. A lot of cult movies though are DVD only which I can't understand.

    I wouldn't mind if Netflix doubled the streaming option price and made everything available and have often made that suggestion to them

    This WOULD be funny if Jobs weren't a very sick man, fighting for his life, who had to take a medical leave of absence from the company. As it is it's just a snarky comment

    Back in the day (ante bellum) there was some debate about that. At one time, The Supreme Court ruled that Blacks, when owned as slaves were not legally human.
