  1. cool on Early Details On Courier, Microsoft's Take On a Tablet · · Score: 1

    This looks pretty neat, i would like to have one; it's about time someone come up with something that's dual screen and look like a compact day planner

  2. Re:Shifting Standards on SGI Rolls Out "Personal Supercomputers" · · Score: 1

    Also i think someone who really need one of these for isn't too keen on going into Best Buy and purchasing one considering the idiot that works there.

  3. Re:The perfect weed? on Alabama Wages War Against the Perfect Weed · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call beasters the "Perfect Weed"

  4. Re:What always astounds me about govt corruption on $2,000 Bribe Bought Password To DC P.O. System · · Score: 1

    No kidding considering Acar most likely got hundreds of thousands of dollars out of all this and the dumb bitch willing to get a kick back of just $2000 and some gift cards.

  5. wow on US Wants UK Hacker To Pay To Fix Holes He Exposed · · Score: 1

    "What do mean there was a hole there? There wouldn't be a hole there if you hadn't found it."

    This sounds like some dip shit Admin/Contractor trying to cover their own ass and blame someone else.

  6. Re:I for one... on E. Coli Can Be Used To Clean Up Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    Or the bacteria can give us all super powers

  7. Re:Poor admins on The Perils of Ramming Products Down IT's Throat · · Score: 1

    Those are the exceptions; there are some of us who actually care about what we do and actually know what we are doing but ended up working for completely F*cking idiot(s).

  8. hmmm on Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they can some how harden the nanotube fibers fabric and create some sort of light weight full body exo suits. I know you can do it with Kevlar but it usually turn out really bulky and heavy due to the resin.

    There was a Cannadian guy that created the Bear suit out of a combination of kevlar and chainmail and the suit weight several hundred pound and you can't even move in it; the thing look like a Big Daddy

  9. Re:"Mechanical multicaliber gun"? on Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 5, Informative

    All or most armor manufacturers use a table top mounted "test gun" that they can change out the barrel and receiver to fire different caliber to test the protective effectiveness of their product. I don't think anyone can buy one of these you have to get them specially built.

    If you ever watch any History or Discovery channel show(s) about fire-arms chances are they show a few of these.

  10. Nice on Universal "Death Stench" Repels Bugs of All Types · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing something of this nature from Planet Earth in which certain groups of insect actually have "grave yard" section in their colony where they put their dead.

  11. well on Taking Showers Can Be Harmful To Your Health · · Score: 1

    Bacteria would not be harboring around if people would actually clean their shower and shower head once in a while with bleach and/or CLR; or completely change out the shower head out with a new one every two years.

  12. Safety? on First Private Manned Orbital Flight Announced · · Score: 1

    The one thing I have not heard of much is the safety measures that would be put in place for all these privatize space flights. Itâ(TM)s cool and great that there are more and more companies out there developing commercial space flights but one has to wonder about the safety factor of these yet untested manned flights.

  13. Correct on Windows 7 Upgrade Can Take Nearly a Day · · Score: 1

    I had one of my coworker upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and it took him about 7 hours to complete the whole process; I on the other hand did a clean install from a mid range Dell system Dual Core Intel and it took me about an hour.

  14. Or on Pain-Free Animals Could Take Suffering Out of Farming · · Score: 1

    "This could end much of the concern about cruel farming practices"

    Or it could lead to really cruel farming practices since the animal cannot feel pain.

  15. Re:May I opt out on the yellow spandex? on All Humans Are Mutants, Say Scientists · · Score: 1

    Good God NOOO

  16. WTF on Tour Companies Battle Over Trademarked Duck Noises · · Score: 1

    So is this Ride the Duck company manufacture their own duck call since the hold a patent on the sound mark? If Ride the Duck just bought some generic ass duck call devices and uses it then i think they pretty don't have much of a case or a patent on the sound mark.

    Also this kind of shit just make jokes out of the court system

  17. Re:Did he have to pick such a messy method? on EMC Co-Founder Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    Going out by ways of a gun is indeed more of a male method, but using a shotgun cannot insured you go out quick though. There have been documented cases of people actually survived or they died an agonizing death because they only managed to blow off a portion of their face. Hand guns work much better when you try to hit the Medulla to end it all

  18. OK on Texting Toddlers, How Young is Too Young? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So whatever happen to just let the kid go outside and play. I'm all for introducing kids to technologies and educating them but this is a little to much. IMO this is just a way to train your kids not to be sociable when they are adults. It seems that more and more of the younger generation are losing their ability to to really converse face to face.

  19. what a Shame on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm just going to repeat what pretty much everyone is saying; f*ck Disney and RIP Marvel

  20. Hmm on FBI Investigating Mystery Laptops Sent To US Governors · · Score: 1

    This sounds like a start to a die hard movie the Fed might have to call in John McClane

  21. For one on Microsoft Drops Xbox 360 Pricing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    MS need to quit making gamers paid for Xbox Live; granted Sony PS3 network has its' issues but it is free to play. I never like the idea of paying full price for the game then have to pay a monthly/yearly fee to be able to play it online.

  22. Re:What could go wrong on Drug Vending Machines · · Score: 1

    In most cases the prisoners/patients are not allow to walk away until they take the medication in front of the staff. But the catch22 is most of the prisoners/patients just don't swallow the pills or if they do they force them back out later.

    in either case it seem to be a lose lose situation but if this solution saves money for that state it's not a bad idea IMO

  23. Keep them separate on Company Laptop, My Data — Can They Co-exist? · · Score: 1

    I do not know what policy most company setup for situation such as these but with mine; when the company paid for your equipment it is company property irregardless if you take it home and keep it there.

    the one reason my company did this was people were stealing, they purchase equipment then wrote it off say it was for work then quit.

  24. WOW on Appeals Court Overturns 2007 Unix Copyright Decision · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I suppose this is the new business plan for most companies; instead of putting out product for consumers they sue one another for infringement to get profits.

  25. IMO on Model Drops Lawsuit After Outing Anonymous Blogger · · Score: 1

    This is a stupid fucking cat fight between two ho that should have been solved in a kiddie pool of Jello but instead one of them run crying to the legal system :(
