  1. But but... on Toyota Investigating Hovercars · · Score: 1

    I want my flying Prius :(...

  2. Re:Textbooks aren't that important on South African Schools To Go Textbook Free · · Score: 1

    I understand that they need to make money, but as I'm sure you're aware they gouge like crazy.

  3. Re:Liability on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    This is going to open up a lot of private networks. Which is bad since most people don't secure their computers very well due to lack of know how. Also with this I could easily get on someone’s WiFi and snoop around. This is very very bad in my opinion.

  4. Re:Textbooks aren't that important on South African Schools To Go Textbook Free · · Score: 1

    This makes me think of how much fluff most "text books" have in them. The way we learn in our day and age I think is terribly inefficient.

  5. Re:Sexual selection by the opposite sex. on Study: Male Facial Development Evolved To Take Punches · · Score: 1

    The only thing that comes to mind is those of us in the military. We obviously take fitness very seriously, but like you said most people don't need to be that strong.

  6. Re:Behind the curve on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 1

    It is hard to get some people to understand. To them saying you need to get out and work for a living is the cruelest thing you could ever say. Now no one is trying to be heartless, but people like you and me understand that is just how things are in this world. No one is trying to be hurtful or cruel it is just how it is. Also our abused welfare system and lack of morals will unfortunately be our undoing. Just look at the Roman Empire for instance. We are doing a lot of the same things they did and we are moving towards the same fate. It is a shame really that there are so many that cannot see it. I just hope this country will come to its’ senses in time. However it is probably too late, and as far as I can tell, we are already on that slippery slope that will doom us all.

  7. There is going to end badly for everyone. on Comcast-Time Warner Deal May Hinge On Low-Cost Internet Plan · · Score: 1

    If I remember right, correct me if I am wrong, if this merger happens Comcast will have 70% of the market. This is just ridiculous since they will obviously have geographic monopolies all over the country with this move.

  8. Re:So when will the taxi drivers start protesting? on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 1

    They might be cheaper already. Do you know what one of these costs? I am curious now. Also it might be worth getting one for the commute to work in the future after they get everything worked out.

  9. Re:So when will the taxi drivers start protesting? on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 1

    I suppose the taxi drivers could get one of these and have it do the work for them so that they can focus on other things.

  10. Re:Flawed? on Temporary Classrooms Are Bad For the Environment, and Worse For Kids · · Score: 2

    I was thinking the same thing. Also the problems we have with our education system is the reason why my future kids (got one on the way) will be either home schooled or sent to a very good private school.

  11. Re:Blizzard Shizzard on Blizzard Sues Starcraft II Cheat Creators · · Score: 1

    I've dealt with Blizzard tech support myself in the past. They are very rude and have even insulted me before. They have to be the worst tech support in the world.

  12. Re:Pretty obvious on Why I'm Sending Back Google Glass · · Score: 1

    The fact that people are use to phones is why I would be more worried about them than google glass. We are all so use to seeing a phone out that we think nothing of it. Which makes it easy for people to record others as well as take creep shots if the want to.

  13. Re: Pretty obvious on Why I'm Sending Back Google Glass · · Score: 1

    I will admit that the term confused me too so thanks for clearing it up. As for AC, he needs to quit being a dick. If someone likes Apple who cares? I know I don't like people insulting me for liking Linux so why should I insult people who like something else.

  14. Re:Abrams already ruined Star Trek on Ask Slashdot: Can Star Wars Episode VII Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you very much. I wish Star Wars and Star Trek were what they use to be.

  15. Re:Reserved Judgement on Sony To Make Movie of Edward Snowden Story · · Score: 1

    I really wish more people saw things like you do. Then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now, or at the very least we would be able to get out of it.

  16. Re:Both? on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 1

    Tesla's cars actually have a decent range. The only issue is charge time since it can take an hour, when using one of their chargin stations, to get the battery to full when comepletely drained. They are working to get that down to 30 minutes however.

  17. Re:Infrastructure on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 1

    Tesla Actually has quite a lot of infrastructure in place already. Not only that, but they are working very hard to build a lot more.

  18. Re:Breaking news on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 1

    I have done government work for about six years now and I can assure you that the government does waste a ton of money. It would blow your mind how inefficient the system is.

  19. Re:Breaking news on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 1

    Here I am working for a living when I could be either a politician or a "consultant". Being either one of those would require me to not care about anyone but myself which I could not do. So I guess that is why I will never be one of those.

  20. Re:I would call the FBI, call fraud on Zuckerberg's $100 Million Education Gift Solved Little · · Score: 1

    I like your idea, but I do not think that anyone would go to jail over this unfortunately. Since he donated the money there probably isn't anything he can do about.

  21. Re: When police and military start using them . . on A Look at Smart Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    As someone in the military I can say that they are probably right. I can't tell you how many stupid things I have seen done with guns. This probably goes back to the fact that they have no experience with weapons. A lot of people who join have never touched a gun or even seen one until they joined. Quite said really I think that proper fire arm handling is something everyone should know about.

  22. Re:Life or death on A Look at Smart Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    I get what you are saying, but I do not think it is the best comparison really. It would probably be better to say outlawing guns to try and stop murder would be like outlawing sex to try and stop rape.

  23. Re:I think you are misinterpreting the phrase on A Look at Smart Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    This statement is why I do not understand why anyone would be against having the right to bear arms. I can see why a politician would since it means more power, doesn't make it right though obviously. However as for the average American? I will never understand why some are so against it.

  24. Re:Life or death on A Look at Smart Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    It was a bad situation all around, and now the poor guy is hated by liberals across the US.

  25. Re:Another avenue of failure : on A Look at Smart Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    That would require logic and common sense, sorry we can't have any of that around here.
