  1. Re:there is no net neutrality. on Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    what if i want to discuss Traffic Priority Shaping instead...

  2. Re:bye internet on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    they'll let them have their farmville to keep them tamed, but Echelon will disable communication from anyone who types in key words that are a threat to national security, and encryption of any kind will be banned.

  3. Re:So what *is* there? on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    the CIA and Department of State just want you to think he's in it for himself.

  4. bye internet on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    enjoy the internet while you have it. the government is not going to ignore wikileaks or other internet problems. wont be long before the internet is very locked down and there's nothing we can do about that.

  5. Re:More 3-D madness. on PS3 To Gain Support For 3-D Movies On Blu-Ray and YouTube · · Score: 1

    i'm with you on that. i wish they never made color TV, and whoever thought of that gimmicky stereo sound and 480i TV was a dumbass, that stuff adds nothing to the story of a movie!

  6. wtf on Education Official Says Bad Teachers Can Be Good For Students · · Score: 1

    every kid needs to learn how to deal with trolls like Zenna Atkins, an important life lesson

  7. who was getting scammed? on Hollywood Accounting — How Harry Potter Loses Money · · Score: 1

    so who were the Harry Potter producers trying to cheat out of their fair dues?

  8. hmm i wonder on The Ignominious Fall of Dell · · Score: 1

    Dell must have saw this coming, so it's not really a mistake on their part. They're just serving the investors who want short-term profit, and giving the shaft to any investor that hoped to make long-term gains with Dell.

  9. Re:Mod parent up on The "King of All Computer Mice" Finally Ships · · Score: 1

    wireless mice always(?) use 120hz or lower polling rates instead of 1000hz to save battery power. 1000hz makes a wonderful difference.

  10. Re:anyone else... on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

    and if it's print, is it consumed or is it read?

  11. i used virtual boy when i was 12 on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

    when i was 11 i played the virtual boy for hours straight, completely immune to any headaches. this went on for a couple of months with almost daily usage by the hours. how fun Wario Land, mario clash, red alert and mario tennis were. my eyes have not developed any problems, for what it's worth. i guess i will be more cautious with letting my own kids use 3d over a matter of YEARS, though.

  12. Re:try to understand this: on Say No To a Government Internet "Kill Switch" · · Score: 1

    well you can start by being a realist. if you expect intelligent and rational debate to go mainstream, you're a dreamer. the best we can hope for is hysterical twits.

  13. Re:rolls eyes on Say No To a Government Internet "Kill Switch" · · Score: 1

    i'd rather there be a warhol worm than an internet/ISP kill switch in the hands of our government. we may really need internet protection one day from the government. not that it matters since we no longer have rule of law. they could probably use the "commerce clause" to justify a kill switch anyway. i think paranoia of the government is one of the best things our society has. the more hysterical twits the better.

  14. null on Foxconn May Close Factories In China · · Score: 1

    now i understand why foxconn was going to not just increase wages by 20%, but actually double them. it's because they are moving operations to a more expensive country. and i actually thought they were just going to be nice to the Chinese.

  15. Re:Controller on Sega To Bring Dreamcast Titles to PSN, Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    what about the shoulder buttons placed on top of the controller? there should be no buttons on top of the controller, they should be in the back. why are controllers made for aliens? the virtual boy controller had a kickass controller!

  16. Re:Yay!!!! on Sega To Bring Dreamcast Titles to PSN, Xbox Live · · Score: 1

    ahh, online powerstone. there's an idea! i guess it's too late to revitalize the shenmue series, though.

  17. Re:Interpret it correctly on Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution · · Score: 1

    who is the militia? U.S. citizens, to protect from tyranny. we the people have the right.

  18. Re:Interpret it correctly on Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution · · Score: 1

    for those who find those words vague, all they'd have to do is see what the founding fathers said about guns. then it becomes quite clear. http://www.cap-n-ball.com/fathers.htm

  19. Re:Oh Boo-Hoo on Official Kanji Count Increasing Due To Electronics · · Score: 1

    2000 kanji is probably about as hard as 5000 hanji. how many damn kanji are pronounced shi and ki and and shou? let me check shi real quick, looks like 76 kanji use shi. so shi means death, four, city, clan, gentleman, child, teacher, and oh so much more. instead of trying to copy the sounds ancient Chinese used when they imported their kanji, the Japanese should have just come up with all new varied sounds, or at least added tones to their language...it's just crazy all the monotony in the Japanese language because of how they imported kanji.

  20. Re:who cares where it's made..... on Where Will Your Next Gadget Be Made? · · Score: 1

    what the hell? every time i look at ebay there's never a good deal, people on there and craigslist sell used stuff for the same or more than the product brand new

  21. Re:newspapers, but not talk radio of course :/ on FTC Staff Discuss a Tax on Electronics To Support the News Business · · Score: 1

    i know that :), but i meant even if they were hurting financially, i don't think the FTC would even mention bailing them out

  22. Re:Feh on Claimed US Military Wikileaks Source Arrested · · Score: 1

    remember some time ago when slashdot had the story up about how US intelligence planned to discredit wikileaks? http://slashdot.org/story/10/03/15/1622232/US-Intelligence-Planned-To-Destroy-WikiLeaks that time has begun! gawker must work for the CIA.

  23. Harry Kahne's Multiple Mentality Course on Hooked On Gadgets, and Paying a Mental Price · · Score: 2, Informative

    the best multi-tasker i ever heard about was Harry Kahne. he wrote a book that he claims could help anyone do lots of feats simultaneously. he's worth reading about if you want to be impressed! http://www.rexresearch.com/kahne/kahne.htm

  24. 2-click patent on Amazon Seeks 1-Nod Ordering Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    i always wondered why amazon didn't patent a 2-click and 3-click ordering system to really stick it to barnes and noble

  25. Re:Broken? More like fixed. on J. P. Barlow — Internet Has Broken the Political System · · Score: 1

    people think we need a central government to ensure there is no slavery? i don't get it. is it more effective to have a central government to protect freedom? then does it go the other way, that a central government is more effective to rob you of freedom? let's see what people that are not statists have to say about this. http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=610
