  1. Re:Just on Cold Fusion Rears Ugly Head With Claims of Deuterium-Powered Homes · · Score: 1

    Well it is 5 O'clock somewhere

  2. Re:There are always options. on Windows 10 Home Updates To Be Automatic and Mandatory · · Score: 1

    Because some updates are ether not needed or may cause problems say break things or were not properly tested. Or maybe data caps and not want their system to download large files when they have a cap to worry about or just a slow connection or something.

  3. Re:Only $15/hour? on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    you are saying a family of 4 needs 3K a week to be a living wage? Where the heck do you live that it cost that much to live?

  4. Shame on Microsoft Won't Bring Back the Start Menu Until 2015 · · Score: 1

    It would have been nice to have an offical start menu back into Windows 8. Although I find myself hating windows 8.1 a lot less as I got forced to using it for college, even if I really only use it to get into a virtual box to get into Linux :P) Still it sucks as I found myself using the pin the the start menu a lot more to access programs tfor everyday use and so no start menu no way to get that in 8.1

  5. Re:Excellent on Registry Hack Enables Continued Updates For Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I am more then 22 years old and I am only unsure if I got the refrence. If this was a ref to TNG then yes I got it, if not then I got no idea.

  6. Sounds good, but... on HP Delivers a Big-Name, 7-inch Android Tablet For $100: Comes With Compromises · · Score: 1

    What I wish they had was HDMI onto the device. Then it be worth getting for me.

  7. So.... on Microsoft Announces Windows 8.1 With Bing To Sell Cheaper Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    install the browser of choice and this only means you got a copy of 8.1 that was a bit cheaper without any real difference? Gotcha, besides not like the majority of computer users are still using IE so in truth this would only matter to the small perce=nt of users who both don't download a different browser or know/care to change the default search engine.

  8. Re:Just Tack on a Fee on Driverless Cars Could Cripple Law Enforcement Budgets · · Score: 1

    That is sad when diesel cars can just run off bio and avoid fuel taxes too

  9. Re:I'm sorry but.... on $200 For a Bound Textbook That You Can't Keep? · · Score: 1

    I never said I use the book or even ready it. Sure its not the high road, but its a personal statement I would make, try to screw people over with telling people how they can and can't use a book they paid for then see people torrent it instead giving you nothing.Besides I have a condition called being lazy and might not really go through with it anyways so...

  10. Re:Oh yeah right on Average American Cable Subscriber Gets 189 Channels and Views 17 · · Score: 1

    I really don't think cartoon network or syfy or boomerang are among the so called "popular channels"

  11. Oh yeah right on Average American Cable Subscriber Gets 189 Channels and Views 17 · · Score: 2

    I be willing to spend a few bucks a station to only get what I want. Could spend maybe $20 and get what I want and saved like $60

  12. I'm sorry but.... on $200 For a Bound Textbook That You Can't Keep? · · Score: 1

    The book had to have been lost in the mail, I know I sent it back out.

    Well $200 for a book you can't keep, need to mail back (even if you get a digital version tho they can always revoke your rights to that as well) or I could torrent the book and save myself the headache and deny them the money...Screw it think I'll torrent that book even if I don't got the class I wanna do it just to spite them

  13. Why not... on AMD Designing All-New CPU Cores For ARMv8, X86 · · Score: 1

    make a gaming CPU...last good gaming chip AMD made was quiet a while ago...so what gives?

  14. Am I ready? on Did the Ignition Key Just Die? · · Score: 1

    No I am not ready. There is something special about having a key to a car that can not be replaced. Besides I am not sure if this system is secure enough to be the replacement to having a good laser cut key

  15. Re:And the question of the day is... on Could Google's Test of Hiding Complete URLs In Chrome Become a Standard? · · Score: 1

    I agree, it makes people have to work harder just to see this information which is NOT helpful

  16. Question on Industry-Wide Smartphone "Kill Switch" Closer To Reality · · Score: 2

    Any way to disable that feature? I am not to worried about phone theft myself mostly because I get the cheaper smart phones and not an iPhone or other really popular models. So how would I disable having my phone disabled remote because I just don't want that crap on my device.

  17. Re:u wot m8 on Microsoft Confirms It Is Dropping Windows 8.1 Support · · Score: 1

    that is not to bad, but say old dos games with dosbox are a PITA to run.A nice Gui works well saves tme and avoids the mess of a spelling error cock blocking system use.

  18. The trolls shall say.... on Titanfall Dev Claims Xbox One Doesn't Need DX12 To Improve Performance · · Score: 1, Informative

    Xbone just sucks compared to the PS4 so it is no wonder the system can't run the game well.

    Well can't say I am upset with not having an xbone, if I really wanted this game, then I think PC would be better anyway with a decent video card at least :)

  19. Re:Poor poor bigot on Mozilla CEO Firestorm Likely Violated California Law · · Score: 1

    Please tell me that is sarcasm because if not then you really are a fool as marriage was around before religion (at least the ones around and practiced today) That and the government recognizes a marriage even if a non religious person preforms the ceremony

  20. Re:Blackberry won... on Typo Keyboard For iPhone Faces Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    Blackberry dose not or at least should not own the paten to a physical keyboard which is what this boils down to. Judges have struck down patens when a suit came up because it was given in error and somehow I feel that this should have been the case here.

  21. How about... on WSJ: Prepare To Hang Up the Phone — Forever · · Score: 1

    Fuck no, telicoms can not be trusted to do anything other then what gives them more money. So no lets not go with that plan.

  22. Blackberry won... on Typo Keyboard For iPhone Faces Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    ...but we all lose. These bans do not in any way help consumers and should be laughed out of court. One thing to not steal tech from the people who invent it, but this is about ideas. Like banning people from making wheels because some comp owns the round shape patent
