  1. Children have been raped and murdered forever. on Using Cellphones to Track Your Kids · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You just hear about it more these days. World-wide media just dredges these horror stories up from remote locales and brings them to you.

  2. Lenovo != IBM on Thinkpad X60 — the Tablet Goes Ultraportable · · Score: 2, Informative

    IBM sold off the laptop division quite a while ago.

  3. Then why the "preacher's daughter" stereotype? on Using Cellphones to Track Your Kids · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There ain't no rebel like a person who grew up under the thumb of an authority figure!

  4. My son will have fun with your daughter. on Using Cellphones to Track Your Kids · · Score: 1

    He'll show her how to easily circumvent your surveilance, and after having his way with her, send her on to a life of daddy-hating slutitude!

  5. And yet, here you are. on Republican Aide Tries to Hire Hackers · · Score: 1

    Are you fighting the good fight? Did the 'Free Republic' wackos organize you?

    I wonder why there aren't any good technology sites with a non-liberal bias....you'd think the free market would 'provide' one if there were enough no-liberal technical people...

  6. Just admit that you are a coward. on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    You're just a fear-sponge. Grow up and look at actual crime statistics. Are you really afraid of home invasions and car-jackings? You're far more likely to die on the road, but I bet you don't support 55MPH speedlimits, do you? Stop believing what the media tells you to be afraid of.

  7. The NRA handles the 2nd ammendment. on Drinking Alcohol May Extend Your Life · · Score: 1

    ACLU is a wider-focus group that decides to not deal with the 2nd ammendment because the narrow-focus NRA is taking care of it.

    Instead of having a gun, I suggest that you study harder in school and move to a less crappy neighborhood.

  8. So is any encrypted message. on Government Has a Right to Read Your Email? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I do believe the government can jail you indefinately if you won't turn over the keys. Hopefully they can't declare you an Enemy Combatant who can be dissapeared forever...but I'm sure Lil'Bush and Company are trying their darndest!

  9. You should check out microsun.com on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    It's the reading lamp for geeks! Custom spectrum 68watt coated Metal Halide lamp, and two 20watt incandescent lamps. You can use one or the other or both.

    They're expensive tho...and the bulbs are propriatory...but I still want one.

  10. This isn't a film for geeks. on WarGames Sequel Now Filming · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's for scaredy-cat non-geeks who want to be terrified by what those mysterious boxes can do in the wrong hands.

    Plus, a romantic sub-plot, a cool chase scene, and some improperly used computer terminology.

  11. Quality? on Appliances Hog More Energy Than High-Tech Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Do you not like the 60hz flicker? I dislike the nasty yellow color from incandescent bulbs. You can get Flouros of any color temperature you can imagine. I like 'cool white' but you can get a fine 2100K yello flouro just like your old caveman bulb!

  12. 64-bit codecs eh? on Are You Switching to 64-bit Processors? · · Score: 1

    I'll have to go looking for them, and see some bench marks.

    dunno why I never though of that.

  13. Yeah...I'm a small-timer... on 2007 Java Predictions · · Score: 1

    ...my apps and systems are only used by 250,000 employees over the course of a 24-hour period. But you know, it still impresses me and that's all that matters!

  14. C/C++ is the pussy language. on 2007 Java Predictions · · Score: 1

    My J2EE applications are running in 5 datacenters on 4 continents and keeping in sync using features built into the container that cost me nothing to implement past some configuration.

    So nyah :P

  15. It's cheaper. on 2007 Java Predictions · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You don't have to buy the all-show no-go over-priced Apple hardware.

  16. Well they do need to recoup their investment. on Near-Complete Cure For Diabetes In Two Years? · · Score: 1

    Look, I'm the biggest pro-ponent of a government-managed healthcare system. But the people who come up with these things deserve a little for their effort.

    What's with every man Jack assuming he deserves the absolute best medicines and procedures for the lowest price?

    "I wanted the Mercedes of healthcare, but I could only afford Kia!"

    Kia makes a damn good cheap car tho.

  17. Can;t justify the cost. on Are You Switching to 64-bit Processors? · · Score: 1

    Nothing I use my machines for would realy benefit from 64-bit processing. I don't use that much memory, and the heaviest CPU load comes from Nero trans-coding AVI files and CIV4.

    I'll probably move up to 64, when you guys start talking about 128!

  18. Damn tax and spend liberals! on Mid-Atlantic Commercial Spaceport Makes First Launch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Although, they should be a better than the group they just pushed out...the scare and spend conservatives.

  19. Lame. on Cleanfeed Canada - What Would It Accomplish? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another attempt to get adults to give up some freedoms in the name of the precious children who must be free of sex predators so they can grow up to live in a society that gives up freedoms in order to protect the precious children...

  20. Thanks! on The Dutch Kill Analog TV Nationwide · · Score: 1

    I will definately look into this again. I was born and raised in the North-East United States, so I am well prepared for your weather :)

  21. Re:German society circa. 1936? on World's First Jail Sentence for BitTorrent Piracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You missed the point. Just because 'society' says something is wrong, doesn't make it wrong. Society once thought slavery was all good. Society once thought that making women subservient to men was all good...and some societies still do! Me, I make up my own morals based on others' ideas.

  22. I haven't owned a dog for years... on David X. Cohen Interviewed on New Futurama · · Score: 1

    That episode still chokes me up...actually, I watched it once on TV and never again. That track on my DVD has never been played.

  23. German society circa. 1936? on World's First Jail Sentence for BitTorrent Piracy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean, that's a collection of rules and people were made to obey the rules.
    Sure several million people were murdered for being the wrong race...but that was the law at the time!

    really dude...

  24. Don't forget the motherboard. on MythDora — MythTV 0.2 In a Box · · Score: 1

    I'd still prefer two (or more) discrete CPUs. Several years ago I did some research and the multi-CPU boards seem to allow for greater total bandwidth between CPU, disk and memory. Well, in my price range anyway.

    Perhaps modern motherboards are better.

  25. Who do you read? on Bruce Sterling's Final Prediction · · Score: 1

    I like the over-wrought imagry Sterling produces. Schismatrix is still my favorite work.collection of his.
