  1. Lies. on When Are You Dead? · · Score: 1

    The article specifically states that the doctors feel it is unlikely the body feels pain, but two forms of light anesthetic are still used.

  2. Google... on UK Law Enforcement Starts Seizing Music Blogs · · Score: 1
    Google one of the first phrases "If you have downloaded music"+SOPA; the only results are from the last three hours.

    I call scam - all jokes aside, could you see government wasting their money taking a site down, then putting up a message like that? Furthermore, can we have an expert on the legality of downloading music (I always thought infringement came with uploading...)?

  3. Re:Take the fuel.. on What To Do With a 1,000 Foot Wrecked Cruise Ship? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Rather, it's up to the insurance company; just like an auto-wreck, they're the ones who determine its ability to be salvaged.

    Apparently there's worry that it will end up costing over US$1bn before everything is said and done.

  4. Re:fraction on Chinese Developer Forum Leaks 6 Million User Credentials · · Score: 1

    Thank god. Here I was thinking it was 000.6% or - even worse - 00.6%!

  5. Mod Parent Up IMMEDIATELY on Download.com Now Wraps Downloads In Bloatware · · Score: 1

    Can't say about the future of the program - but Ninite WORKS, and it is spectacular.

    I can't count the number of fresh XP/7 installs I've done in the last few years, but Ninite has been a god-send.

    C|Net has become nothing more than a shell of itself. Its hardware reviews are still a valuable resource - but what is really needed is a large, community driven project that has community reviews from verified users only. Think Amazon.com ratings, without the Amazon.com.

  6. Goatse on The Machines That Sparked the Beginning of the Computer Age · · Score: 1

    Mod down...

  7. Re:They are giving iPads to pilots? on Alaska Airlines Jettisons Paper Manuals For iPads · · Score: 1

    Mod Down - Goatse

  8. Re:obvious slant on Netflix Isn't Swamping the Internet · · Score: 1
  9. Re:XP Tablet Edition on Microsoft: No Tablets Until It's Distinctive · · Score: 1

    I could easily see a successful "iPad Air" come through - a hybrid iPad/Macbook Air. If they can scale it to around a legal pad size, as well as have a physical, shallow physical keyboard (not a virtual keyboard with no feedback - need to have a working keyboard)... that is something I would purchase. Price it at the same price as the current gen Macbook Air... and it could be a gold mine.

  10. XP Tablet Edition on Microsoft: No Tablets Until It's Distinctive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_editions#Tablet_PC_Edition The old tablets were certainly a lot more functional than today's toys. It's a large phone, NOT a small laptop.

    Or Enron..

  12. Re:4th Amendment? on NYPD Anti-Terrorism Cameras Used For Much More · · Score: 0

    What do video cameras have to do with keeping the Sabbath holy?

  13. Books. on Gadgets For the Ghosthunter · · Score: 0

    I always just leave books around, hoping that they could be stacked inhumanely high.

  14. I've played enough Minecraft... on Journey To the Mantle of the Earth By 2020 · · Score: 0

    I've played enough minecraft to know, that if you start digging down into the bedrock, you have to have some rock handy to plug a hole that you make otherwise your dungeon will fill with lava. Just my $0.02

  15. Slippery Slope on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 0

    Surely 140,000 seems like a small number relative to the total number of users. For example, it takes 3-10% of the Voting Population's signatures for a petition to even be added to a general election in my state. Given the millions upon millions of iOS users, 140k is an extremely small number to force change. Hate speech is horrendous, but it's still speech. This should not be a victory except for a very small percentage of those who don't value free speech.
