  1. Re:Reason on Windows 7 Memory Usage Critic Outed As Fraud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's simple. Money.

  2. Re:It's a matter of definitions on Ars Analysis Calls Windows 7 Memory Usage Claims "Scaremongering" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not "hogging" memory if it dumps it the second you start up a program that needs it... It also doesn't make your system "appear" faster, it makes it faster. I paid for all that RAM, I don't mind it being taken advantage of; that's why it's there in the first place...

  3. Re:READ THE FUCKING SUMMARY on 'Iceman' Gets 13 Years For 2nd Hacking Offense · · Score: 1

    Probably because it actually takes longer to post a question, than just reading in the article you're replying to.

  4. No sympathy. on 'Iceman' Gets 13 Years For 2nd Hacking Offense · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No sympathy from me. Why should I feel any more sorry for him than someone that snatches purses, or robs liquor stores?

    Gee thanks for modding me down for that asshole. Maybe you could troll rate this one.

  6. Re:Afraid of Creationism? on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    Show me some evidence of creation. Until you can do that it has no business being taught in science class. The evidence for evolution is vast. Creationism is not a science in any way. For one thing, every religion has their own creation myth. Which one do we teach?

    Ah cool! I was wondering what the hell that was.

  8. Hyperbole on Google Considered Too Big To Fail · · Score: 1

    When Google holds people's pension funds, and well being in their hands, then I'll worry. Until then, I think I could survive just fine without Google search.

  9. Re:Just pollin' on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's what I've been asking. What is it for? Seems like a simple enough question, but I see no answers.

  10. What is the purpose of the ipad? on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    That's the key thing I still haven't heard anyone explain. What is an Ipad for, exactly?

    Maybe it's just me, but the ipad seems like a monumental waste of money.

    If you're trying to sell me something for $300 minimum, and you can't tell me with a straight answer what the device is for, then you have a problem.

  11. Re:Already a trend on Xbox Live For Original Xbox Games Shutting Down · · Score: 1

    Rage is being published by Bethesda though, and even Fallout 3 uses GfW. Out of the frying pan and in to the fire. I'm hoping id can maintain their integrity and keep GfW completely off the PC version.

    Except you can actually use Vista...

  13. Re:*golf clap* on Astronomers Discover 33 Pairs of Waltzing Black Holes · · Score: 1

    You do understand that science is a process right? We're in the process of figuring all of that stuff out. How else would you even know to ask those particular questions?

    Your young children can be led to believe that Santa Claus and Easter Bunny exist, so I wouldn't exactly take their word for it on something like dark matter. The reason it's called 'dark matter' is because we don't know WTF it is. People are trying to figure that out. It's not as if they moved on, and decided to just not research it...

    Good thing for Old Glory Insurance!

  15. Free? on Google Sets Censorship Precedent In India · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Free Trade doesn't seem to be doing much for freedom around the world.

    Thanks for your expertise on the subject.

  17. I'm holding out. on Motorola's Rumored Android Phone Focuses on Screen Size · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's only a matter of time before I can get my hands on a 65 inch mobile phone, with Blu-Ray, a media center, and digital cable.

  20. Re:What is it that is bad, exactly? on DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over · · Score: 1

    Well the Yes Men don't try to get me to install stuff to my PC for one thing. This time we're assuming it's something harmless, but this would have been a fantastic way to do something malicious.
    Many people will poke fun at the religious angle of it, but frankly I would be critical of this stunt even if it was for a cause I believed in.

    LOL Hey, I don't hate you, I just hate your ideas! At least you don't write malware programs to preach them to me! :D

    Not really, I think that's one of the best lessons to be learned from people pushing a religious agenda. :)

    Yeah well the atheists and libertarians that you don't like are merely posting comments on this site. I may not like libertarians, but I can't remember the last time one of them wrote a timebomb malware program, to go off at a set point, and give me a pro-libertarian screed.

    When I saw the original announcement of this program, I was skeptical of what it was actually for. However, I didn't see this type of angle coming! LOL, wow!

    If you actually downloaded this thing, let this be a valuable lesson. Don't be gullible. This could have been a virus for your computer, instead of one for your mind.
