  1. Re:Java too complex on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 1

    I like my language syntax stagnant.

  2. Why does a 3D space battlefield mean different? on PhD Candidate Talks About the Physics of Space Battles · · Score: 1

    We have 3D aerial battlefields now. Covering yourself all over with guns isn't efficient and you're always going to point at a target. The relatively sleek, low profile shapes will win out. In a space battle, it's all about not getting hit and shooting first, not Star Trek style slug fests. That means, the business end of your ship will have the lowest profile from the perspective of the target.

  3. Don't forget the use of private email on 22 Million Missing Bush White House Emails Found · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We also know that the Bush administration purposefully pushed conversations out to private email accounts to hide what they were up to. We have email messages where correspondents say to take conversations off the record.

    There's a BIG difference between "getting your way" and "succeeding".

  5. Re:Love the spin on 22 Million Missing Bush White House Emails Found · · Score: 1

    Wrong, they specifically said that there were no missing emails. These were MANUALLY mislabeled and "misfiled" emails from a particularly contentious time for the administration. This was deliberate.

  6. Is he a transformer? on Swiss Geologist On Trial For Causing Earthquakes · · Score: 1

    Unless his name is 'Rumble,' and he popped out of a walkman I don't see how this is possible.

    I never had a problem with *any* of Hamill's performances.

  8. Re:You might not be as right as you think on Global Deforestation Demoed In Google Earth · · Score: 1

    Forests != reseeded logging plots. Forests are complex ecosystems of scores of plants and animals living symbiotically together. Many of these reseeded plots are ecological "deserts."

    Well done sir!

    Want getting fucked in the ass? Isn't that like voting for Sarah Palin?

  11. Re:Is the Submitter Jesse Hirsh? on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your mother never taught you the difference between what what can be said and what should be said, did she? Very jerkwad-ish of you :(

  12. Think outside the box on Best Way To Clear Your Name Online? · · Score: 1

    Instead of having no internet profile, have a very active internet profile. You'll probably flood Google with references to yourself that wil obfuscate any searches for your name and your past, Mr. ZeroCool.

  13. Re:Less than the cost of a single cruise missile. on America's Army Games Cost $33 Million Over 10 Years · · Score: 1

    Maybe next to the VA.

  14. Re:Less than the cost of a single cruise missile. on America's Army Games Cost $33 Million Over 10 Years · · Score: 1

    That John Kerry reference was about BUSH not soldiers. Why is that some people actively try to misinterpret everything the political opposition says? BTW, Kerry was also the guy who VOLUNTEERED for frontline duty in Vietnam. And, Murtha was a Marine for something like 30 years. And, the Haditha incident was an awful slaughter of civilians by bad Marines. Just because the Marine Corp decided to drop charges doesn't mean they were innocent. Go look at the evidence and decide for yourself how innocent those guys were.

    You're working off the talking point that Dems hate the military and Republicans support the troops. And, that's all it is, a talking point.

  15. Re:Global Warming disproven ONCE AGAIN! on Martian Methane May Be Created By Lifeforms · · Score: 1

    It's a joke.

  16. Global Warming disproven ONCE AGAIN! on Martian Methane May Be Created By Lifeforms · · Score: 1

    How is it possible for there to be methane on Mars, yet it's a cold as ice. You FAIL Al Gore!

  17. Re:Beautiful game, but... on Dead Space 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    That's my point. There's no way you can get a feel for all the guns in the time you have. The upgrade system was designed like it was for a MMO, where you're going to have repeated playing. How many people play these types of games more than a couple times? So, in practice you're never going to get a taste for some weapons.

  18. Re:How do you change your password? on Israeli Knesset Approves Biometric Database Law · · Score: 1

    That's because he's dead. So is she, probably for saying it.

  19. Beautiful game, but... on Dead Space 2 Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Man, that storyline was full-blown asinine. It played out like a bad Sci-fi movie channel. After hours of monsters jumping out with Hollywood precision and yet *another* fire to extinguish, I found myself bored even with the frightening shock attacks. Too many contrived challenges and obstacles, and a writing team obsessed with trying to be original even at the expense of the plausible.

    Plus, that crazy weapons upgrade scale. It was painfully slow and there was no practical way to get a feel for all the weapons before the game is over (and there's no way I'll play that game again).

    But, I'll reiterate that it was one of the most beautiful games I've ever played.

  20. Re:Kijiji? on eBay vs. Craigslist Courtroom Fisticuffs Start Today · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's the stupid name they picked. That looks like a wheat field there are so many dots and stalks.

  23. I'm starting to wear tin foil hats on How Does the New Google DNS Perform? (and Why?) · · Score: 1

    This is my completely unfounded conspiracy theory, but I'm starting to see Google as a pretty clever rouse to capture user data, perhaps for our government? They provide great services, but they've got their hooks well sunk into much of our digital lives.

  25. OT: Blizzard revenue from WoW on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know how much Blizzard pulls in from WoW a year? What are the subscription numbers like now? I know you can't do simple calculations since other countries apparently charge a lot less per month.
