  1. Why the bitching on Google Patent Proposes $2 Fee To Skip Commercials · · Score: 1

    Personally I don't mind commercials. They give me a nice break to take a leak and grab a drink. Certainly I wouldn't pay 2$ to give that up.

  2. Eh, on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm To Launch Dec. 7th · · Score: 1

    I'm more interested in finding out about the new next gen mmo Bizzard ir rumored to be working on. Supposedly it's a new IP with no story connection to their other works. Would be nice to see something thats not a sequel. Regardless of what one thinks of WoW, Blizzard has created som iconic game IP lines.

  3. Way to go congress on Senate Votes To Turn Down Volume On TV Commercials · · Score: 1

    I sure am glad that congress is working so hard on important legislation like this. I wouldn't want them troubling themselves with anything trivial ....like balancing the budget or net neutrality or revisiting banking and securities fraud rules. Nice work guys and you wonder why people are pissed at government.

  4. Re:The Question Is... on Researchers Test Space Beer · · Score: 1

    You don't make lager with ale yeast or vice versa. They are different strainis of yeast and produce significantly different flavors in your beer. Lager yeasts do usually do better at low temps and ale slightly warmer. There are types of beer that ferment ale at lager temps but not usually the other way around because lager yeasts tend to produce very off flavor at higher temps.

    You can tell by what strain of yeast you started with.

  6. Re:Kids these days? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    Seriously, months to decide whether or not you find an app useful? Any app I've ever downloaded I was able to tell within the first hour or two if it was sufficiently performing the task it was intended for. How the hell do you keep an app for months w/o knowing if it's working? I think sir you should get a simpler phone and leave smartphones alone.

  7. Re:Kids these days? on Android Software Piracy Rampant · · Score: 1

    All apps can be returned in the first 24hrs. THe only time you caan't return for a refund is if you return it and then redownload it. That second download makes it yours for good. But would you really redownload an app you thought sucked so bad that you returned it?

  8. Re:Replacing cable TV with Netflix on Xbox Head Proclaims Blu-ray Dead · · Score: 1

    I did this months ago and couldn't be happier with it. I'd much rather pay the netflix subscription than the 70$ a month I was apying for cable. Everything else( news, sports etc etc) is easily obtainable and imo in a better format than what was presented on cable television.

  9. Re:Cheating was rampant on APB To Close Mere Months After Launch · · Score: 1

    The same thing killed Warhammer Online for me. There were some great concepts to that game but playing a pvp game where your opponent is using cheats/hacks is just no fun. there were some other issues w/ Warhammer but that's the one that killed it for me.

  10. Re:and... on Steve Jobs Tries To Sneak Shurikens On a Plane · · Score: 1

    Regardless of the ownership of the fucking plane the fucking airport still runs the fucking terminal. So yeah he can do what he wants with his fucking plane but he still doesn't get to carry weapons across their fucking terminal. Rich or not.

  11. More reasons on Foxconn's Founder Opens Up About Making iPhones · · Score: 3, Insightful

    not to do business in the U.S. we have all those pesky organizations like OSHA, and those weird fair labor standards laws and anti child labor laws that get in the way of a really stellar profit margin. (Yes there was some sarcasm in there)

  12. Re:Might as well get used to it on Assange Asks For New Lawyer, Denies Blaming CIA · · Score: 1

    Actually most of what you say the smear campaign would require are not needed. Yes the 2 girls would need to be influenced by the CIA. However.. - The media would pick up the story simply because Assange is a hot media figure right now. Like him or not the leak of the military documents made him a recognizable figure. No need to influence news outlets to sensationalize. - If the 2 girls filed an accusation and it was deemed worthy of investigation the Swedish leal system would just be doing it's job, again no complicity with the CIA required. - The MP from Iceland wouldn't need to be a dupe of the CIA, all that is required is that she have a very active interest in preserving Wikileaks public image. So please use a little logic before spouting off. All that being said I don't think this is a smear campaign. I do think if people are going to scream abou the case they should realize what the real charges are - and they are not forced sex-

  13. Re:And so it begins on WikiLeaks Calls For Assange To Step Down · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can't I know what the exact charges/circumstances are fo rin Assange's case. But i can say that the legal definition of rape changes nation to nation, so it would be nice to have the actual details of the situation. Heck in Israel you can be charged with rape for lying to a woman, or misrepresenting your marital status to get laid. I have friends that qualify to go to jail in Israel - here they are just being douchebags.

  16. Re:Tunnels of Doom on The Best Video Games On Awful Systems · · Score: 1

    Man I now miss my old TI-99. I haven't even thought about that system in years. I did love it years ago though. I still remember trying to figure out how to write my own games on that thing after spending all that time typing in code from magazines.

  17. Re:Great! on Whisky Made From Diabetics' Urine · · Score: 1

    There is alot of great beer made in America as well. It's not the mass brewed crap that comes from Bud or Coors but we have some great microbrews here that i would put up against some of the best beers from anywhere in the world. What I brew at home for personal consumption is great....just ask my friends they drink enough of it.

  18. Re:Not really, no on Ancient Nubians Drank Antibiotic-Laced Beer · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually most of the reason for a lack of pathogens in beer is that it is boiled for a long time. Most recipes I use call for at least an hour long boil. The yeast and bacteria can live together and function, there may still even be some alcohol in the batch, but quite often if there is an infection it will be the bacteria who win out and ruin the beer.If your beer is infected it's because of poor sanitation. This hasn't happened to any of mine so far but I keep my equipment clean.
