  1. Understandable... on LulzSec Offers to Take Revenge On Sega Hackers · · Score: 1

    I still have my Gamegear, apart from the damaged charger, it's fine... SEGA .

  8. Re:In orbit.. on Massive Explosion On the Sun · · Score: 1

    Me too! Other than having to apply extra SPF50 sun lotion today, does anyone know if those blasts are harmful to us?

  9. Re:Why, oh why? on Mozilla Labs Introduces the Webian Shell · · Score: 1

    A desktop replacement or pave the way to an "App Store" model? I think it's the latter, lats of money in there.

  10. Re:Overkill on English Teenager Invents a Better Doorbell · · Score: 1

    So in the future mobile phone companies will employ pranksters to ring door bells of people whose bills aren't quite high enough...

  11. Re:Unless on France Bans Facebook and Twitter From Radio and TV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You seem to be forgetting presenters who re-direct viewers to their twitter or facebook page and/or ask them add their views to an ongoing discussion of some topic posted/tweeted on those sites. Frankly, I think it's a good move. Why should Facebook and Twitter get free advertising and becomes more popular than they already are? It's hindering emergence of other sites... hmm, non-US sites. :)

  12. Note to AMD management... on AMD Betting Future On the GPGPU · · Score: 1

    Please AMD read ALL the comments on this page even those with a score of 0 or -1...

  13. Re:I'm more concerned about the GM business on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    Lets not forget that Monsanto, lobbied friends and shareholder governors or senators find it in their interest to cut funding for agricultural research at universities who specialise in it. Seeds produced from publicly funded research are available to all and this is in direct conflict with Monsanto GM-seeds.

  14. Re:A great day for human beings on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    Exactly! I'm glad you said that. Reading the other comments you'd think we were dealing with a bunch of kids who have done no research whatsoever on the realities of GM crops. I'm pro research of food crops that will alleviate starvation because let's face it, the world population is only going up. But when I read about that diabolical company called Monsanto, my stomach turned. These guys lobbied hard and employed armies of lawyers to corrupt the patent system. Now thanks to them, life is "patentable." Therefore they own the GM-seed they produce and it's illegal for you to re-grow seeds collected from your previous harvest. You have to buy it fresh from them. Go tell that to the poor farmers of India or Africa. This is simply slavery and I believe India took steps against that. Oh yeah, if their seeds land in a non-GM farm and start to grow, then that farmer is liable of lawsuit. Since Monsanto is a fat company, farmers have no choice but settle out of court. You can definitely go screw yourself if you think GM is all good.

  15. Re:How About ... on Amazon and Barnes & Noble Jostle Over Battery Life Figures for Nook, Kindle · · Score: 1

    Because they didn't learn from what happened to the laptop industry. Was it 5-6 years ago when the advertising regulating body told manufacturers to quote accurate battery life. Amnesia is very common in the tech industry... I guess it's only an amount of time before fines drill some sense into tablet manufacturers.

  16. You might also want to watch this... on Time Lapse Video of the VLT In Chile · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A month ago TSOPhotography posted this time-lapse video of the milky way (please watch it in HD). No VLT here and the results are amazing, not to mention the soundtrack... even National Geography forwarded their link. Enjoy :)

  17. Re:Comets? on Discovery of Water In Moon May Alter Origin Theory · · Score: 1

    Apollo 17, 1972? Those Nasa people must be really desperate for funding if they are now re-examing dusty cobweb ridden artifacts from the 70's. I guess it's also time to make massive generalisation such as, this one sample is representative of the whole moon.

  18. Re:Netflix on Netflix Dominates North American Internet · · Score: 1

    U know, after posting my comment last night, i thought the "insightful" mod was actually meant as satire. "Funny" would be too obvious and give it away.

    Who modded this as "insightful," this is "funny" ...satire anyone?

    I'm using the replies to add more channels to my subscribe list. Thanks for the Day9TV tip... hoping i got the right guy.

    It will be hard for fish-frogs to get back to us. Either that or they are preparing a huge armada to colonise the source of the message.

  22. Re:Thinking way too hard on Why People Watch StarCraft, Instead of Playing · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are two popular Youtube channels for SC2: HuskyStarcraft and HDstarcraft, both americans and they rack up views of between 50K to 100K for each cast. I watch them for strategies or nuke drops.

  23. Re:Excellent on US Congress Tries To Cut Body Scanner Funding · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Was there even an open bid process for body-scanner manufacturers or was it that one for-profit company who shoved the idea down TSA's throat and the govt was forced to go with it? I think the whole story about the current supplier is quite murky.

  25. Re:Stalkers on Confusion Surrounds UK Cookie Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip, will try that! I haven't used Opera for Windows yet (but i do use it all the time on my Nokia and to access /. in the loo). I did read they have problems rendering some websites so I've stuck to Firefox and its new hunger for RAM & CPU resources.
