  1. Re:Ultrasonic? on Microsoft Creates Kinect-Like System Using Laptop Speaker & Microphone · · Score: 2

    You'll appreciate Barry White when you get older....but that would be the case even if you didn't have high-freq hearing.

  2. Re:Oh no! on How the Syrian Games Industry Crumbled Under Sanctions and Violence · · Score: 2

    Ah yes, just throw the word 'jihad' in there. Instant comedy.

    I wonder if they do the same over there? Just throw the word 'hot dog' or Uncle Sam into something barely related to the subject at hand for instant comedy about Americans.

    i too eagerly await the publication of the step-by-step recipes for making transmissible flu i have those cool alton brown bed bath and beyond measuring cylinders and everything

  4. Re:old people don't know anything about computers on IBM Offers Retirement With Job Guarantee Through 2013 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Companies think they can build systems to retain the knowledge that actual experienced employees would give them. And they end up spending multiples of their salaries to do it. And it never works, and always gets torn down for the next management book of the month.

    They'll save money by cutting back on troubleshooting and move toward throwing in new cards. No need for that experience. Let the guy go and end up with another unemployed nobody who a certain party can blame for their "failure".

    Too many english speakers on the payroll, most likely.

    I mean MS might have a winner on their hands.

  9. Windows phone - may have something on Wozniak Praises 'Beautiful' Windows Phone · · Score: 1

    My good friend who's a diehard Apple user had an upgrade come up, and basically got paid to get Lumia due to the recent $100 thing. He's absolutely in love with it. TMS may have a winner on their hands.

  10. Streisand effect on UK ISPs Ordered To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I would love to see a big fat Streisand effect from this.

    That would be the way to do it if you want to make something as stupidly difficult as possible, yes.

  12. Re:They shouldn't have those pay taxes on Not Just Apple, How Microsoft Sidestepped Billions In State Taxes · · Score: 1

    Implementation of military service varies by country. I wouldn't call is 'theft' in all cases but I'm sure it is in some.
    Regulations are needed to rein in all kinds of abuses and problems.
    Countries must levy taxes or use other means to provide services - what the hell are we in 3rd grade now? Listen to more balanced sources, you're being spoon-fed crap and it shows.

    NO OFFENSE HERE but if troops were particularly bright they wouldn't be troops.

    I prefer the original "Laurel and Hardy" radio programs carefully hand etched on the inside surfaces of the horns of scandavian mountain goats

    much better for the troops as the horns can then be used to hold gunpowder in case they need to handload a musket

  16. He actually did it on Good News For US Fusion Research · · Score: 1

    So the House really does do the exact oppposite of whatever Obama proposes. They can actually be tricked into doing something worthwhile. The more you know.....

    Yeah. They only like to keep them stupid. Dumb and rich is even better!

    Intuitive Thinking. I'm not able to wrap my brain around that. So, if I think about not thinking about things, I'll get religion?

  19. My solution. on Privacy Advocates Slam Google Drive's Privacy Policies · · Score: 1

    The solution to this is to only use it for pirated apk's. Seriously.

  20. Some small inner voice on TSA Defends Pat Down of 4-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Some small inner voice inside me would like to see this address along with police misconduct, profiling and brutality. But alas, we'll only scrape off enough bad stuff to make the system look good enough to keep selling.

  21. Re:Er, Your Statement and His Don't Quite Mix on 'Gaia' Scientist Admits Mispredicting Rate of Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Exactly. There were never any claims made that this guy is talking about. To my recollection everything out there was talking about decades for 2-3 degrees C changes and such.

  22. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Thanks to the science and resulting regulation, we do have relatively clean coal plants. We still have aling way to go to reduce CO2 emissions.

    Call my arguments strawmen if you like, but we need to do serious impact studies on some of these grand ideas. I like big ideas, we just need to do more checking up front. You keep associating my point with people who hate progress. I'd rather have safe progress, because we never want to fix it right when it goes wrong.

  23. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    There's no problem in being afraid of nuclear...those disasters you mention proved that inadequate monitoring, construction, or control of nuclear facilities can invite disaster - so thanks for proving my point. :)
    Coal does produce too much CO2 without regulations on emissions - too bad we found out a bit late. Your other points don't have any bearing. Point is, if we don't start enforcing some intelligent and impartial study of these projects, we'll only screw ourselves more. I like electricity, and I don't mind coal. I don't like asthma or dying of lung disease. If you don't see the science in linking those two, well......

  24. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Planetary Resources Confirms Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    You either learn from history or you don't. A fair number of things we've undertaken in the name of progress (but without adequate study or technology to study properly) have ended up with consequences that we never seem to want to fix - to teh point where the environment we've known for so long as humans is screwed. I see no harm is anyone wanting to force appropriate study of technologies before they're set loose on large scale natural systems. If there is some bad outcome, I guarantee that the beneficiaries of that tech will never agree to rectify it.
