    If you can wait

    And there is the problem. People don't want to wait. They want to talk about it tomorrow at work. They don't want to be that person who says, "Don't tell me, I haven't seen it yet!" They don't want to feel like they are behind everyone else.

    Probably not, but if he has a hundred MB of it, maybe what he really needs is an ounce of prevention.

    Giving someone the means to commit a crime is not a crime until the crime is committed.

    Ohhhh like passing out CSS decryption keys or putting bomb-making instructions online.

    There ya go.

    NO! That lets them know it is okay and that we have to work around it. They need to stay out of our business. This needs to be illegal immediately. This is way over the line. I never gave them permission to track me. Bluecava needs to be shut down.

  10. Re:Rail shooter? on RAGE On iOS Shows Promise · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it would work if they use the accelerometer as mouselook and a touch d-pad for aiming crosshairs. As a bonus, when things get intense, you get a good core workout!

    I already have to wait a week or so for their servers to die down after a release before I can install anything, much less upgrade or download the new release myself. Now, they will be slammed every single day.

  16. This is great! on Students Banned From Bringing Pencils To School · · Score: 1

    This is a great idea. Until reality kicks in. You guys remember classroom supplies? The box of crayons that were all broken and had missing colors. The extra book in case you forgot yours that was expanded from getting wet and had torn pages and smelled like cheese. I'm pretty sure that the pencil box will soon be full of broken pencils with missing erasers and there will not be enough for everybody to have one. How will little Billy fill in the bubbles without a #2?

    While we are at it, lack of sleep impairs a child's learning ability. Doing homework often keeps kids up late at night. So, homework impairs a child's ability to learn!

    ...one physical device with two virtual phone operating systems on it. I don't know how that would work for incoming calls or texts or whatever...

    Two virtual phones = two phone numbers just like two virtual computers = two IP addresses.

  19. Re:Living under surface on Life Found In Deepest Layer of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    I see what you are saying. What I was getting at is that if you are on the surviving planet, then you will presumably be pretty glad that we spread around.

    I think it might go back to the urge to ensure that one's own genes are spread. Without the rest of the species, your own genes will die off as well.

    Thinking about it, I wonder if deep down we really do care about the species as a whole or if that is a side effect of selfishly(is this selfish?) wanting to continue your line.

    They already did. It's called State Tax on my stub. Same way they got the prison in the first place. The money is there, the congresscritters just need to decide to spend it on the tower instead of $random_waste_of_tax_dollars.

    I always tell myself they do that on purpose to catch the ones who lie on their resume. I tell myself that because the truth makes me cry...

  24. Re:oh good, but then slippery slope on Emergency Broadcast System Coming To Cell Phones · · Score: 3, Funny

    I find the ones on TV extremely annoying because I can guarantee no lost child is in my house in view of my tv.

    Given your user name, I would suspect that the last five words you said are an important qualifier.

    Are you seriously saying that rich, educated people never molest anyone, especially doctors? Where do you live? I want to move there! This article is talking about the United States. This country was founded on the idea that everyone was created equally stupid, dammit!
