  1. Re:Disgusting. on Except For Millennials, Most Americans Dislike Snowden · · Score: 2

    And thats the problem, who cares what other people do, we already have systems in place to deal with people being irresponsible in public. Substance abuse is also a problem, but we have services for people to seek help. It has nothing to with intelligence, there has always been things that degrade your ability to perceive the world around you, and rather than wasting time preventing people from doing something, inform and help them. It seems a lot more stressful to society to fight people with self-destructive behaviors than it is to help them pick up the pieces.

  2. Re:SeaMonkeys! on Briny Water May Pool In Mars' Equatorial Soil · · Score: 1

    I think the intent of starting civilization on mars has a slightly faster time scale than waiting for evolution to make up its mind.

  3. Tech illiteracy at its finest on Florida Teen Charged With Felony Hacking For Changing Desktop Wallpaper · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you obviously don't understand what the kid did, they how do you expect people to believe that your judgment is fair?

    Its clear in this situation the kid is the only one who knows that a computer isn't a magic box with pretty lights.

  4. Re:Time to stop considering individual components. on Intel's Core M Performance Is Erratic Between Devices · · Score: 1

    That or sales pitches as well, Ive noticed that most manufacturers wont give mention to what your putting their parts on. A top of the line graphics card wont do you much good if your motherboards chipset is past its prime. All the parts work together, no matter how you slice it, something is going to have to be the weakest point.

  5. Re:Just what the world needs on Russia Wants a Hypersonic Bomber · · Score: 2

    There is probably a good reason for that...

  6. Re:Lists to check on Iranian Players Blocked From World of Warcraft Due To Trade Sanctions · · Score: 1

    These lists are all posted in the list room. YES, the US goverment has a list room. Very similar to the chart room. If you have any questions please reffer to this list so you can find the appropriate room.

  7. Re:flamebait? on Why Juries Have No Place In the Patent System · · Score: 1

    My concern is how they can judge apple, the creators of the iPhone "cough" "cough" over samsung... If the jury is supposed to be unbiased... how will you find people who have not heard of the iPhone in the US.

  8. Re:i thought scanners won't scan money? on Campaign Urges People To Send MPAA and RIAA Copied Currency · · Score: 1

    seeing how my copy machine breaks down so often, I would be surprised if that was actually true. how could that piece of junk have anything in it besides the process to stop working.

  9. Re:They don't want to on Congress's Techno-Ignorance No Longer Funny · · Score: 1

    If people want to vote in a politician that takes $450,000 from Wal-Mart and the people know that this is the case then they get what they deserve.

    The issue I find in this is that with the two party system you can either vote for the guy who is supported by Wal-Mart, or the guy who is supported by Target. I find politics to be a "catch 22" because I am stuck voting for the lesser of evils or giving up my right to complain about because I didn't vote.

  10. Vote cthulhu 2012 on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 1

    why vote for a lesser of evils?

  11. Minecraft for Xbox? on Microsoft Announces Halo 4, TV For Xbox Live, Kinect Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Personally i don't see this working. i can play Minecraft on my PC with an Xbox controller (xpadder) and even then i still need to bind my mouse to the sticks. not that that's a bad thing, but traditionally games for PC are a bit more complicated that games for console. also the whole Xbox controller for the PC is more of a toy to show off to friends than effective way to play games like WoW or LoL.

  12. backwards compatable? on Super Mario Coming To the 3DS · · Score: 1

    Will i have to go and buy a 3DS or can i use it on my regular DSi. cuz i dont want to spend 200+ on a hand held system that i will only use for 1 game (and what ever Metroid/Zelda/other Nintendo classic here)

  13. MMO vs. Social games on The Ethics of Social Games · · Score: 1

    weather from personal experience or from how the media talks about the difference, there is a much bigger gap in MMOs and social games like the ones you find on the iPhone and Facebook, this hole in the story is Plot. if you sit down and play farmville or mafia wars, you are only there to press buttons and talk with friends and collect rewards from those around you at the time. In MMOs like WoW or the soon to be released Starwars The Old Republic, you get a community of people who play the game for the same reason people spend all their time playing non-MMOs on their consoles.

  14. PC games FTW!! on PC Gamers Too Good For Consoles Gamers? · · Score: 1

    This goes to all my friends who kick my @$$ at Gears and Halo.

  15. We don't have sufficiently bright people on Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens US Security · · Score: 1

    We don't have sufficiently bright people

    well DUH, the 'cyber warriors' that the government wants are hard to find. mostly because they are either trained IT security professionals or a kid who figured out how to hack his school to change his grades. the first of the 2 will be easy to get with the increase in IT students. however unlike china, there is sever punishment for committing cyber crimes. china and other countries have the right idea of hiring the hackers instead of locking them away like we used to do

  16. Re:Celebrity WoW Players on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    Im sure that Mr.T's WOW character is already easy to find... just look at all of them..?

  17. Is this just a video? on Theremin Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    i would love it if anyone could write down how to do that so others can recreate that. it would be so cool to show that off in front of your friends.

  18. Really? on YouTube, Now In Text Mode! · · Score: 2

    this is actually cool. i hope its not one of /.s April fools jokes

  19. um? u do know what today is right? on Google Renames Itself "Topeka" · · Score: 1

    Its April Fools day dumb ass. /. is just doing what it usually does every year. im just glad that didn't turn the page pink... again

  20. If ET calls on If ET Calls, Who Speaks For Humanity? · · Score: 1

    If ET calls i will personally put his/its name on the 'Do not call list'. last thing we need is ET getting calls from telemarketers

  21. Re:bad branding on Comcast Shoots For New Image, Rebranding As Xfinity · · Score: 1

    wouldn't the "Re-branding" process require them to tell EVERYONE that they are changing their name. so when you talk shit about comcast and then a commercial comes on telling you that they are now called Xfinity, sorta defeats the purpose of re-branding, don't ya think.

  22. Re:Programming without music? on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    even though im not a programmer i am studying for my A+ cert, and even though im still in high school where they are sill fighting the battle over cell phones and iPods our teacher lets us listen to music because she thinks that when we are listening to music we are not talking with our friends. (also she really doesn't care what we do)

  23. Great!!! on Hand Mounted Flame Thrower · · Score: 1

    now how do you turn it off?

  24. its NASA!!! on 2 Companies Win NASA's Moon-Landing Prize Money · · Score: 0

    if we have learned anything in the past, just because it works in a simulation doesn't mean it will work in reality, more or less in Zero G.

  25. What about dust and sand? on Dell Rugged Laptops Not Quite Tough Enough · · Score: 1

    I couldn't help but notice that in the video the guy pulled up the dot mouse thing, in the keyboard and there was a gap when he pushed down on the mouse pad. if they are going to market these as rugged laptops they should try to seal them a bit better.
