  1. Re:Money grabbers on New Details On Halo Wars · · Score: 1

    How dare they operate a business to earn profit?!

  2. Re:History Goggle Earth on Google Earth Recreates Ancient Rome · · Score: 1

    Spook Country by Gibson actually discusses the current state of virtual art installations and features radiation, popstars, nutropic meds, and what is by all appearances an amoral magical acrobat.

  3. Re:Supreme Commander on Square Enix Announces Supreme Commander 2 · · Score: 1

    So we're in the Matrix only instead of being in the Matrix, we're playing Supreme Commander and instead of people, we're actually pigs? It's like the Wachowski brothers directed Animal Farm. I approve!

  4. No, the monsters aren't the party in power on Obama's Election Means a Return of Vampire Flicks · · Score: 1

    No no, the monsters are not the party. The monsters are the party's adversary. The aristocratic vampire leeches off the hapless working folks. The mindless horde of cannibals destroys a productive society.

  5. Re:Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    The further from the individual a decision is made, the less it serves that individual's interests. That's just sense. Oh, and NO UR WRONG. GOOD THING TEH WHOLE WORLD AGREES WITH ME LOL U DUMB

  6. Re:Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    Personally, I tend to feel the best way to really wreck something is to get the government involved. Again, the ridiculous inflation of tuition is a solid example. I agree with you that a serious amount of research, consideration, and most of all dialog needs to take place before any piece of legislation is passed regarding health care. I don't mean that lobbyists need to compromise, I mean the representatives of the people need to have a sit down with their constituents and some experts in related fields. Of course, I don't see either candidate rushing to do that.

  7. Re:Health care could help save the US economy on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    Ooh, ooh! I found the savings! Turns out their tax rates are higher across the spectrum. Man, that was almost as hard to find as Waldo..

  8. Re:Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election & Health Care · · Score: 1

    So your solution is to trust the real experts in the field of medicine and medical billing... Congress?

  9. Re:Gas cheaper than it should be is total BS on GM, Utilities Partner To Advance Plug-In Hybrids · · Score: 1

    You do realize that there are huge costs associated with piping that oil across those countries, filling super massive tanker vessels, moving those super massive tanker vessels across the oceans, delivering that oil to the refineries, and distributing the gasoline by truck to tens of thousands of stations from the refineries across a nation 3,000 miles wide? BTW, I can get strawberries dirt cheap because I live near strawberry farms, too.

  10. Re:Well.... on Non-Programming Jobs For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 1

    I completed a decent amount of CS coursework before realizing that I'm just really not cut out for programming. I'm fairly confident that I could've made it through a CS (if not Software Engineering) degree with a decent GPA and then written mediocore code for some unfortunate company. But I changed majors and am happier for it.

  11. Apply at the US Patent Office on Non-Programming Jobs For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 1

    Friends of mine with computer science degrees work at the US Patent Office. The Patent Office is frequently searching for people with scientific degrees to fill examiner positions. To my knowledge you must relocate to DC to work for them. I believe the pay is mid $40k to mid $50k. I'm uncertain if there are any postings currently online but I imagine if there were, they'd be at the federal government job site (usajobs.opm.gov). I'll try to find out if there's some kind of referral bonus so my pals will get credit for the hordes of /. applicants so please let me know if you apply!
