  1. Re:Looks Neat on Augmented Reality To Help Mechanics Fix Vehicles · · Score: 1

    As a 3521, Marine Organizational Diesel Mechanic, this would be invaluable, especially with MRAPs and up-armored vehicles. That armor is such a pain in the ass. However, this would, as it stands right now, only be really useful "inside the wire." Also, the problem this would produce is dependancy. When you're a line mechanic, not a warm and fuzzy shop mechanic, you don't have the time nor reasources to use something this high speed. If you become dependent on it, you're going to be pretty useless outside the wire.

  2. Re:no on Bruce Schneier On Airport Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Security at the expense of liberty is not worth it, in my opinion. I'd rather the be free and risk the chance of being blown up, than be subject to more rules and regulations so that I can live forever.

  3. Don't forget the extra 6 Mbps on Really Misleading Ads From Broadband Providers · · Score: 1

    You need 18 Mbps to stream video, according to AT&T, but you need 24 Mbps to do video conferencing. That makes sense.

  4. What a shame on NASA and Space Station Alliance On Shaky Ground · · Score: 0

    The ISS has been my favorite international effort to date. I hope things turn around.

  5. Wonder why on Windows 7 May Finally Get IPv6 Deployed · · Score: 1

    I wonder why no one has asked; does i4i make the whole world blind?

  6. Re:Both were at fault on D.C. Detective Pulls Gun At Snowball Fight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes. But, he was "more" wrong. You can't tell me that just because someone throws a snowball is grounds to pull a gun. Period. He was just trying to show them he has a bigger barrel than them. It was his "trump card". And that's just pathetic.

  7. Re:How many great brands must Ford and GM Destroy? on A Requiem For Saab · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I shall be sad to see Saab go. They were unique. A real shame.

  8. Re:Everytime he drives in front of my house... on $25,000 of Communications Gear In a $500 Car · · Score: 1

    At least we do not have to worry about the girlfriend's health.................

    I'm sure his hand will be fine. In fact, his girlfriend might be in the better shape with all those buttons and knobs to push. A veritable paradise for a hand.

  9. Re:BadOS? on Samsung Enters Smartphone Wars With Bada OS · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see it's not just Chevrolet committing these kinds of mistakes. Calling a car the "No go" in Spanish is almost better than calling a phones OS "Bada". I'll share a little secret: if you're going to market something in a place that speaks another language, triple check the translation. No go, Donkey Kong, BadOS... the list is probably miles long.

  10. Re:Electric car with problems? on Electric Mini Cooper Has Rough Start · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I don't mean to spoil your fun: but burning stuff causes CO2. CO2 is used by plants. It's a cycle. It works, and a lot better than any other fuel source out right now.

  11. Electric car with problems? on Electric Mini Cooper Has Rough Start · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Am I the only one who doesn't understand the craze for electric vehilces? The problem is sloved. Just moved. Biodiesel, ethanol/switchgass, and plant based fuels make so much more sense.

  12. Re:Shortly before? on Grandmother Googled Murder Penalties Before Partner's Death · · Score: 1

    Somehow I don't think browsing Craigslist for a hit man will be any less incriminating than this Google search...

  13. Right, that makes me feel better. on Murderer With "Aggression Genes" Gets Reduced Sentence · · Score: 1

    Wait, shouldn't that mean he should be locked up LONGER? I mean, if he's genetically disposed to lash out, isn't he a greater threat to society than someone who was just feeling a bit feisty that day?

  14. Re:We will never colonize the moon on NASA's LCROSS Moon Impact Mission Provides Great Data · · Score: 3, Funny

    What do you think the carbon nanotubes are for? We are going to run those to the moon to drop ping times down to more acceptable level. Everyone know wired is way faster than wireless...

  15. Re:End free trade with non-free countries on China Considering Cuts In Rare-Earth Metal Exports · · Score: 1

    Exactly. China doesn't want to give us what we want, we don't have to give them what they want. It's pretty simple. Put an embargo on our goods, we put an embargo on yours. Same thing applies here. Why can't people just play nice? We had a great thing going on. Some people really need to study economics.

  16. Re:About time on EVE Bans Exploiters; Dropping 2% of Users Cuts Average CPU Usage 30% · · Score: 1

    He read it, hence why he said what he did. It's a good thing.
