  1. Re:Smartphones, Cars, Premium Cable, pest control on Why You Don't Want a $99 Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the strong survive and the weak die.
    This is the clear theme of the universe by default.
    There are predators and prey, like an asteroid aiming at an unsuspecting innocent planet...

    i'm not saying i think it is right or wrong, but be smart: know what is going on around you, read things before you sign them, it should be common sense.

    OTOH, The poor are the people having a problem with your suggestion; i make decent money, where i live, for what i do, and i would have to save
    for decades to purchase a house outright. Then i'm dead broke. This is why the subscription model is gaining the ground it is.

    I'm with you though, from what i see the days of "hand over gold nuggets, receive goods" worked the best, and that was when a months balance sheet
    didn't include a statement 9 pages long front to back.

    Just my 2 cents.

  2. Re:CCCP on Windows 8 Won't Play DVDs Unless You Pay For the Media Center Pack · · Score: 2

    If I have to upgrade to Windows 8 (which I don't plan on doing), then I'll just wait until there's a suitable version of the Combined Community Codec Pack for Win8. Really, paying for media playback is just lame.

    lame! haha!

  3. Re:SONIC screwdriver? on Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver a Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    "Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver a Step Closer To Reality"

    "application of ultrasonic beams"

    Surely what we're making here is an ultrasonic screwdriver.

    It turns things.

  10. Red & Green rings, holiday 2013? on Xbox 720 a No-show At This Year's E3 · · Score: 1

    I wonder if all the hold up is in figuring out the overheating issue
    that, approaching a decade by this speculated release, has had
    me go through 5 unit returns and opening 2 others.

  11. Re:Seriously? on Chinese Spies Used Fake Facebook Profile To Friend NATO Officials · · Score: 1

    sorry for the double post, couldn't edit the previous, YES i know he was "tricked", my point was
    what are they doing putting anything useful on social networking sites to begin with?
    I would think with the way OUR military likes to do things, facebook would be a big no no.

  12. Seriously? on Chinese Spies Used Fake Facebook Profile To Friend NATO Officials · · Score: 1

    I thought in this day and age, people (especially, ya know, important, educated people) would realize that doing things online is
    the same as doing them in public... except there's always a fly on the wall...
    a very smart fly... that never goes anywhere... and is a chatty cathy.

  13. Destiny? on Iran War Clock Set At Ten Minutes To Midnight · · Score: 1

    The panel's first estimate puts the odds of war in the next twelve months at 48 percent, consistent with predictions market Intrade.com, which estimates a 40 percent chance of a U.S./Israeli strike by December 2012."

    Every time we believe what we are told without fact, we create what we fear.
    With that said, lets start acting like a 1st world country, and, the mayan calendar doesn't end, although this baktun was significant (?), it's not the end of the world, let's not make it so.

    It's gotta be a zombie apocalypse. bright lights and thats it would suck.

  14. Re:Psychadelics need to be studied, and used prope on LSD Can Treat Alcoholism · · Score: 1

    This. I've had a few TERRIBLE trips, and knowing now that a 4-8 hour good trip will be 1 hour bad, i don't regret it.
    The confrontation is what wowed me the most, even more than watching candles trade places on a glass table, more so than seeing myself from above, GTA 2
    view while walking up the street (loved that), and the actual "feel" of nature, the trees, the fire etc.

    I won't go into my whole story, but, it's something every living person should experience once, safely, legaly, openly.
    Anyone who knows what i'm talking about will tell you.

  15. Re:Wonder what Mr. Teller thinks of Iran? on Edward Teller: Father of the Hydrogen Bomb · · Score: 1

    We're just hearing about this now? Here in the US they've been doing that since at least the 60's.

  20. Re:A word of caution on Yet Another European Government Drops ACTA · · Score: 1

    the funniest thing is that the minister who took responsibility for signing the ACTA treaty early said on national television that he is under a lot of pressure to sign lots of paperwork everyday (around 100+ papers on a weekly basis) and he said quote "i'm sorry for not reading this document throughly, before accepting to sign it - my team of experts said it was nothing to worry about it" They are truly clueless and they admit it, lulz.

    All the better than, less room for evil to hide when you know ignorance is taking most of the space, they could've done as my government does: 'well... we have to decline comment, but i assure you there is nothing to worry about (smiley face).' Time to get educated!

    and do like everyone else does: work from there.

  23. Car Analogy From TFA on Alzheimer's Transmission Pathway Discovered · · Score: 1

    "Looking at the brains of people who have died of the disease, Dr. Duff said, is like looking at a wrecked car and trying to figure out the accident’s cause. Faulty brakes? Broken struts?
