  1. Re:And next up on Believing In Medical Treatments That Don't Work · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're a selfish tool who is unappreciative of the advantages he was blessed with, and unwilling to share them with the less fortunate. I hope one day you realize that.

  2. Re:Thanks Obama! on Verizon Promises 4G Wireless For Rural America · · Score: 0

    You don't need to write your screen name at the bottom of *every single freaking* one of your posts. Your replies automatically display your screen name, and if you insist on displaying it a 2nd time that's what signatures are for. Otherwise you appear like an annoying and pompous know-it-all.

  3. OnLive on Time Warner Expanding Internet Transfer Caps To New Markets · · Score: 0

    Imagine how quickly your cap will be used up if you use OnLive's upcoming service.

    If it makes you feel better I think you're all pretentious twits.

  5. Re:And who said on Increase In Xbox 360 E74 Problems · · Score: 0

    There *are* stats. Other comments, including one in particular from a guy who apparently is heavily involved in video game console repair services, cited a nearly 100% failure rate on first generation 360's.

  6. Low Intelligence (Humans that is) on Study Suggests Crabs Can Feel Pain · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Most of these responses is the main problem I have with elitist computer-oriented geeks. They have a high IQ and think their logical reasoning puts them on top of the world. But like most of western society, they consistently demonstrate a lower EQ (emotional intelligence- google it). A discussion of emotions and feelings and their relation to spirituality has always come in very sparse amounts in Western historically important works, all the way back to Aristotle and Plato.

  7. What? on Australian ISP Argues For BitTorrent Users · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First!

    You FAIL at statistical analysis. GO TAKE A MATH CLASS.

  9. Re:No on Body 2.0 — Continuous Monitoring of the Human Body · · Score: 1

    Why would you need to use physical force to harm your child? Can't you find a better way to teach him right from wrong? It's that attitude of 'well he'll associate negative feelings with doing this' that is so primitive and backwards. He'll associate *getting caught* with negative feelings, not doing what he wants to do. But of course in the US people teach their children to hunt animals using weapons, and somehow consider it different from terrorists teaching children to use weapons for future use against foreign armies.

  10. Lots of Customers on New Service Aims To Replace Consoles With Cloud Gaming · · Score: 1

    Boy you people really live in a bubble don't you? Do you understand the number of people with *extremely* old computers who can't possibly play any games released in the last few years, regardless of what settings they use? There are those who religiously buy/build new computers every year or 2, and then there are those many, many more people who don't feel like spending money and fussing with their equipment or configurations. They end up only using their computer for old-school indie games or simplistic flash-based games. The market for this kind of technology is *huge*.

    Man... this guy is awesome. Someone mod him up.

    He said *it* doesn't like that name. IT IT IT IT! Stop filling your brain with false memories that satisfy your rationalizations.

  13. Re:I didn't like the ending on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    Dean Stockwell asked Moore to put in the suicide scene, as he felt that Cavil was such a hardcore realist that he would know when the jig was up, and prefer to go out on his own terms rather than be killed by the enemy. With Boomer, I agree at how stupid the result of her redemption was. Apparently Moore and co. feel that revenge and murder are A-ok in a race that's supposed to 'break the cycle'. And with Cally, she cheated on Tyrol and hid the fact that her son wasn't his. He didn't even like her, as he said so many times himself. Not to mention she was about to expose the 4 Cylons. I would have thought Tyrol would be appreciative. But instead he commits murder, and no one seems to mind that a long valued member of the BSG crew was murdered in cold blood right in front of their eyes.

  14. Re:Great 4.5 Year Show, Weak Ending on Battlestar Galactica Comes To an End · · Score: 1

    The original plot was to have Helo and Athena killed off, but then Moore decided he wanted the "family unit" to survive. There's a lengthy interview with Moore floating around the internet in which he's asked various questions about the ending.
