  1. Army on US Military 'Banned' From Viewing Wikileaks · · Score: 1
    Maybe its because I am in the army, or maybe because my unit has not received the word, but we have never been told that we could not view wikileaks. In fact in my shop, we are encouraged to read it.

    I would like to stand up for some of my fellow military members. Just because we are in the military, that does not mean we don't know what's going on the world. When we are home, we live regular lives just like everyone else, we have access to the same information. To stop this information from reaching us, you would have to disconnect our internet, take away our cellphones, take away our on base post office and force us and our families to stay on post.

    If there is a conspiracy to keep information from getting out to the public, most of us are not aware of it. That of course does not mean that there are no higher ups trying to accomplish that.

    I believe that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are more complex than "we are there just for oil" or "we are fighting terrorism". Just like everything else in life, there is no black and white, just different shades of grey.

  2. Not long on Cuil Proves the Bubble Is Back · · Score: 1

    The world is heading for a worldwide economy, that means that we have to start working harder and more efficiently to compete with foreign companies. People need to realize that this is where we are going, for better or for worse.

  3. We will wait and see on Alaska Looks To Volcanos For Geothermal Energy · · Score: 1

    We always hear stories of the "great energy source" about to be found, but a lot of times it does not pan out to anything. There will probably be many technical and cost limitations.

  4. Bull as usual on Your Computer and Cell Phone Are Lying To You · · Score: 1

    It seems that every corporation wants to make a product "seem" high quality and long lasting. But you also have to have more intelligent consumers as well. I have driven my car on the E for several days sometimes. Of course I live very close to work, but still, E should mean empty, not "hey your empty but not really". To combat the frustrated consumers when the companies actually correct these intentionally false readings, just give a almost empty warning. TahDah! Everything is good.

  5. Forget portal on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 1

    Those who mention that game have not played real puzzle games. I was bored with portal because it was too easy.

  6. Absolute bollocks on Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist · · Score: 1

    Until I actually see evidence for ET, I am not believing. If you actually believe Mitchell, than I place you among those who believe in god. Believing in either would require that you do so with no evidence supporting the claims.
