  1. Re:Well.... on Time On Social Networks Almost Doubles In a Year · · Score: 1

    Unless they are living out of a box most everyone has internet access of some form.

    Even then http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/05/30/2241228

  2. Re:And while we're on the subject... on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it's fine... it'll help undo centuries/millenia of male domination in Western culture.

    But it will most likely take at least a century, probably more, to breakdown completely, look at racism it has taken a long time to break as far as it has. Sexism will take no less time and will most likely take more because it is deeper ingrained

  3. Re:Adding unfair competition doesn't make it bette on Time Warner ToS Changes Could Mean Tiered Pricing, Throttling · · Score: 1

    I wonder what corporate genius thought this would make it more acceptable instead of less acceptable. This is like the Simpson's "can we have a pool dad" chant.

    I have watched my 5 year old newphews do it to my aunt, and it goes through, so im guessing its the 5 year old on the board there or the ones as smart as a five year old say that they need more money, and milking "dumb" public worked before/elsewhere so do it again

  4. Re:400 years from now... on Software Enables Re-Creation of 'Lost' Instrument · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Your entire post is wrong.

    Does that include the quote, which would cause a paradox of incorrectness?

  5. Re:400 years from now... on Software Enables Re-Creation of 'Lost' Instrument · · Score: 1

    Scientists will try to reconstruct a long-lost instrument called a turntable based on the lyrics from an ancient artist named Lady Gaga. But since RIAA at the time is basically runs the all governments it will brand these scientists enemies of the state and will summarily execute them. That year is 2409. The same year Linux is finally ready for the desktop.

    So much wrong with that, RIAA is getting away now, Linux is ready now, and Lady Gaga it not an artist.

  6. Re:Easy on What To Do With 78 USB Drives Next Christmas? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You might have no friends left, but damn. Funny.

    No friends = easier to top next year, less letters to send out

  7. Re:Too good to be true... maybe? on Plastic and Fuel That Grow On Trees · · Score: 1

    Ethanol from cellulose, could we just use human blubber like we used to use whale blubber, there is an excess of that and it sounds highly renewable for now.

  8. Re:CDBaby on Amazon & TuneCore To Cut Out the RIAA Middleman · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The problem with their model is that 35 of those newest 40 are recycled from that 10,000,000.

    More like 39 of the 40

  9. Re:Knowing Government "Intelligence"... on FCC Reserves the Right To Search Your Home, Any Time · · Score: 1

    The average citizen has about as much understanding of the law as they do about electricity. "I just flip the switch, and the light comes on. If something goes wrong, I just call someone."

    I work as that electrician you would call and you could learn all about it about 4 years and then just take a class for the newer technologies every year on so, not hard. On the other hand law school alone, which cant teach it well since it changes as fast as its taught, is like a 12 year program just to claim understanding.

  10. Re:Help! on Soccerbots Learn How To Fall Gracefully · · Score: 1

    Soccerbot3000: I've fallen and I can't get up!

    So to solve it we just give all of them those lifealert button things?

  11. Re:Good thing I drink Mountain Dew... on Cola Consumption Can Lead To Muscle Problems · · Score: 1

    When i was young i used to believe mount. dew was nuclear waste and would make you get super powers, now i know the only thing it gives you is the ability to go a few days on no sleep and has the side effect to render you sterile

  12. Re:No car analogy on Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives · · Score: 1

    No conspiracy here, just laziness and a lack of security awareness.

    That doesnt sound like laziness, sounds like sticking to a known way to do things easy and on a managable timeframe.

  13. Re:Remember? on Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives · · Score: 1

    I like how the response from the typo is better than would have been expected from what was meant to be said.

  14. Re:What does this have to do with the Clinton Admi on Hard Drive With Clinton-Era Data Missing From Nat'l Archives · · Score: 1

    According to the article, "the loss is believed to have occurred between October 2008 and March 2009." Thus, the hard drive could have been lost during the Obama presidency.

    How do you not notice something is gone that long, I wake up or come home and my piles of stuff in my room arent where I left them, I sence a disturbance before I open the door. That was in a "secured" area for ~6 months too, not ~6 hours.

  15. Re:VR was more hype than reality on Where Are the High-Res Head-Mounted Displays? · · Score: 1

    Sounds alot like the neural tap the of matrix hookups

  16. Re:People still buy used games? on Wal-Mart Enters the Used Game Fray · · Score: 1

    RPGs and games that allow alot of character customization are usually single player, but the personal replay value is really high if you liked it the first time, I have played final fantasy 1 on the nes with every char combination possible, but would i get rid of it, heck no. I think that is a thought lost on many of the new rpgs is some people WOULD rather run 4 white mages around for the challenge (and the bragging rights) than have a forced "fair" team.
