  1. Re: Freakin' Riders. on Incandescent Bulbs Get a Reprieve · · Score: 1

    Depends on the use, but for me they would need to last (and be used) for years before they get close to being cheaper. Heck still have 2 old bulbs in the fan ficture that I have had for over a year and still going strong...and I got them for less then $1

  2. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but he don't count as a good guy, he got demoted to pig...or bad cop...well bad former cop, but same diff

  3. Re:Vista/7 on Windows 9 Already? Apparently, Yes. · · Score: 1

    This is less to do with relearning things or just getting used to a new setup. This is more about not being happy that instead of improving it, MS just made the GUI worse. It is taking more effort to do what was done without much and designed is a bit alienating for people without a touchscreen.

    Yeah pritty much, MS tried to force a change that people did not like, just like Vista.

  5. Re:Bad call on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 1

    LOL why mark this guy as a troll as he is clearly joking. What fool would believe a book from the bronze age that be translated over so much that was originally written by people who did not understand medicine or anything we take for granded and found a silly idea to explain the unexplained.

    Twily...come on that is so mean

  7. Why would wefind one? on Searching the Internet For Evidence of Time Travelers · · Score: 1

    The history of the world ins quiet long compared to just the part of it humans have been around so really our time is a small fraction of when and where time travelers could go it. For all we know they could be at the global orgy that happens in the future :P

  8. Re:Not cans on Coca-Cola Reserves a Massive Range of MAC Addresses · · Score: 3, Informative

    But I can't keep dollar coins in my wallet and hate loose coins in my pocket

  9. Re:Would you expect anything else? on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 1

    I had not been there for over a decade so I never knew they did fingerprints. Tho now I want to know why they do fingerprints. Is it to keep people from sharing passes or something worse? Ether way I do not like that at all and glad i avoid them.

  10. Would you expect anything else? on Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers · · Score: 5, Informative

    Disney has been fighting to extend copyright forever so they can keep every second of anything to themselves, so why not pull more shit like this? Clearly Disney only cares about how to make a quick buck and shaft the fans and viewing public whenever they can, but this act really only undermines digital media as a whole as you can not tell when someone will just pull their shit for some arbitrary reason leaving you having paid for nothing.So yeah the pirates right now are glad that they don't have this crap to deal with and if one site goes down, they find it someplace else for free and maybe better quality as well.

  11. Re:police arive within 'minutes' on How the Lessons of Columbine Saved Lives At Arapahoe High School · · Score: 1

    I have to say I do not agree with arming teachers at all. Armed security yes, but I believe that weapons should not be in the hands of the ppl who's job it is to teach kids, but instead in the hards of people better trained and well are being paid for the task of protecting the students already.

  12. Re:Didn't like it on Happy 50th Doctor Who · · Score: 1

    Yes I was thinking the same thing. I beleive the time lords returned from the time lock in a season 2 part final thanks to plats that involved the master. So yeah I had the same thought tho now there is a chance to bring more time lords into the show again.

  13. Re:Testing perhaps? on Azerbaijan Election Results Released Before Voting Had Even Started · · Score: 1

    it would be, which makes me wonder why it had not been done yet

  14. Re:As a US-only service on Hulu "Kicking Back Into Action" Says CEO, Adding New Content · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but try watching the Simpsons or Family guy on your PS3 with Hulu+. Some shows they refuse to stream to a gaming system and force to watch on a computer even with paying money for +. Although still having adds make it worse as I am paying for the privilege of being restricted with what I want to watch and how I can watch it. Worst part is I can pirate these shows and watch on my PS3 far easier then trying to do it legit.

  15. Re:As a US-only service on Hulu "Kicking Back Into Action" Says CEO, Adding New Content · · Score: 1

    This is the reason why I would never use their service. I got a big screen tv with myPS3 and a smaller laptop screen, so which would I want to use? What am I not allowed to use?...yeah screw off Hulu

  16. Re:The PS3 Is The Top Selling Console In The World on New Sony Patent Blocks Second-hand Games · · Score: 1

    As far as I know the PS3 did not have a problem as bad as the 360 with hardware failure, but then again I have a friend who had his phat PS3 break twice since he got it (was the one with the MGS bundle, just as they released the slim modle, or shortly after as the phat one was really hard to find)

  17. I still say... on Replacing Windows 8's Missing Start Menu · · Score: 1

    That M$ should have modified there Windows Phone 7 or 8 to be used for tablets and kept the desktop OS clean of tablet changes.

    Not funny, but really it is not bad enough to be offended

    Guess I was lucky to not have any trouble with ATT, but back then i had a dumb phone and did not really text.

  20. Re:No real keyboards? on Yahoo Excludes BlackBerry From Employee Smartphone List · · Score: 1

    Maybe so, but as there is a feedback from the buttons it makes it easier to type out a message, at least with me and how I type things out.

    A few, but lack of it has also been known to be deadly. it is to addicting and there is no hope to go without once hooked.

    What about T-mobile? Or any smaller carriers that use any GSM carriers networks?

  23. Re:Hah! Take that, my bank! on Hotmail No Longer Accepts Long Passwords, Shortens Them For You · · Score: 1

    Don't know much about unix, but I guess...so how long will it take to try 8,000,000 passwords or what not possible with two seconds between each try...besides that many files should get someone seeing a problem long before it gets hacked.

    Ok, I admit i did not really know about those battles. Tho in my defense I am no French history expert.

  25. Re:Clearly on Hotmail No Longer Accepts Long Passwords, Shortens Them For You · · Score: 1

    That is only if they know the sites and account names you use. So using the same password for /. as you do for a garden club forums won't really matter more so if one username is cumputergod and the garden one is flowerpower as there is no link to them
