  1. Re:Well, it's something. on Google and Microsoft To Block Child-Abuse Search Terms · · Score: 1

    I see the point you're trying to make, but changing a couple of search sites' reactions to certain search terms entered into them really isn't going to have a detrimental effect. All it's going to do is prevent abusers and non-abusing consumers if the content from getting to the product, which is a good thing and needed to happen anyway. People making incorrect judgements on this sort of thing were misinformed regardless, and anyone who bases their directing of resources based on what google and microsoft does in their search engine is an incompetant and probably wouldn't have their job for much longer.

    I think the universe expands faster than light. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

  3. Re:Every print magazine left. on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 1

    I'd write it off because half of our elected officicla seem hell-bent on sabotaging anything that seems remotely government-related, or has a union anywhere in its ecosystem.

  4. Re:it lacked extensionalism on Thor: The Dark World — What Did You Think? · · Score: 5, Funny

    A god who traveled to earth usinga rainbow bridge and uses a hammer that no one but he can lift, and you're concerned about real-world physics. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

  5. Re:All in favor of Elop getting the job? on Stephen Elop Would Pull a Nokia On Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I wish Sega would buy it and run it well. Stay away from the rehash strategy that works so well for Nintendo and focus on new IP, getting 3rd party, and enough/not too many rehashes to keep it fresh. But sadly, I don't think Sega could pull it off in a million centuries.

  6. Re:O'rly? No wai! on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    Yep, lack of 'Kewlness' is exactly why millions have moved onto other platforms. Blackberry simply needs more bling and maybe a pic of Justin Beiber carrying one in blurry foreground in front of his toned rippling chest muscles to get the youngsters all hot for it.

  7. Re:I was a good 360 customer. on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    And the PS3 has been a stellar experience from day one which hasn't required me to buy 3rd party coolers to work properly.

    After owning 3 360s, I switched to PS3 and am never looking back after I get a PS4. Microsoft screwed themselves out of this good customer.

    I think they got all of them with the main console. I'm not sure who they want to catch with this one. I'm sure it will sell a lot though.

    No, because that can be handled by a process designed to prevent that.

    I quoted it in my reply.

    The point is, things that can be done locally are better done locally.
    Which implies that things that can be done locally are (always) better done locally. My reading comprehension is just fine, thanks.

  15. Re:Regulatory capture on Cable Lobbyist Tom Wheeler Confirmed As New FCC Chief · · Score: 1

    The point is, things that can be done locally are better done locally. But why is that necessarily true? What issue exists that can't be overcome by a good process? I understand the desire for local control and have no problem with it, I'm just trying to understand why it's believed that that's always best, when I can't think of a reason why except for "ideologically it's what I want".

  16. Re:First Step = ID the smarter people on Root of Maths Genius Sought · · Score: 1

    I've been given a consistently high IQ, but when I started as an engineer, I had to be taught to think like one, regardless of how 'smart' I thought I was. Why is the "able to think through mathmatical stuff " measure of intelligence for IQ the only one that counts? Thinking is a skill - you have to learn to do it a certain way to function in a certain way, and if you don't use it, or aren't allowed to use it, you lose it. The IQ test is garbage, in my opinion.

  17. Re:Regulatory capture on Cable Lobbyist Tom Wheeler Confirmed As New FCC Chief · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Central agencies do stuff all over the planet, and do them well, unless you contention is that Americans are inherently less honest. If corruption is a problem, the risk of corruption doesn't change, but now you have companies having to do 50 times to work in order to comply. It makes no sense to do it otherwise.

  18. Re:Regulatory capture on Cable Lobbyist Tom Wheeler Confirmed As New FCC Chief · · Score: 2

    You'd have a better chance doing it centrally. Problem is, this central agency is already bought and paid for.

    It's time to abolish the insurance companies. And if hospitals/drug companies can't control prices after that, then there need to be investigation into the prices and possibly legislation to address it.

    And yet these public monstrous institutions work elsewhere in the world, the public benefits from them and live/learn much better. The problem isn't "Public". The problem is the "American Public", or rather, the half that won't allow these things to work because of propagands they hear on radio, tv, and internet.

  22. It's becoming clear on Stung By Scandal, South Korea Weighs Up Cost of Curbing Nuclear Power · · Score: 0

    It's becoming clear that where there are millions of dollars floating around, and there are humans, there is corruption and problems to be found wherever you look. Government or privately owned, human nature will take over if it's not tightly monitered. It's not even surprising anymore. Given that, religion is probably the worst, as no one monitors them at all.

    Well, that's two. How about more? You're defending the Wii like everything's great, but it's dead, and had no longevity to begin with. Nintendo needs to make changes so tht gamers will buy and keep playing the machine.
