  2. Re:how fucking cheap is our government? on Blast-Proof Fabric Resists Multiple Explosions · · Score: 1

    what you're doing is far different from what US soldiers are doing.

    You're getting blown up in your own back yard. That's different, You're defending your home.

    US Soldiers are purposely being put in harms way without the appropriate vests.

  3. how fucking cheap is our government? on Blast-Proof Fabric Resists Multiple Explosions · · Score: 1

    hmm, yes we see that you got blown up, but we still can't replace your flak vest. You'll just have to hope you don't get blown up twice!

    This is dangerous. It's like playing russian roulette with someone's life.

    Great that it withstands multiple explosions, but people don't. How many explosions are you expecting to be in?

    Isn't withstanding one explosion good enough? After the first one, should you really be in a position to get blown up again?

  4. Re:TAG OOGBREAKHEADWITHOPENSOURCECD ! on MP3 Format Still Gathering Momentum · · Score: 1

    would have actually been funny if you said OGG like we think you meant.

    OOG doesn't really make sense and so you ruined the joke. moron.

  5. well well well... on NASA Requires JPL Scientists To Give Up Right To Privacy · · Score: 1

    anyone who voted for bush, you caused this sort of calamity.

    real republicans want less government.

    This administration wants more power and more government and less oversight.

    wow, you bush voters sure were stupid. I think anyone who voted for bush should be forced to get a tatoo on their forehead saying so.

    Then we can publicly ridicule them like they deserve.

  6. bwahahaahhaahahahahah on Violent Games 'Almost' As Dangerous as Smoking · · Score: 1

    what a crock of shit.

    we are getting less violent on a whole.

    how many men beat their wives 30 years ago? there were no violent video games when they were kids.

    no, they acted out their fantasies with toy guns and got into fist fights.

    we, as a society are becoming less violent. Our sensitivity to violence is what raises red flags about stuff like video games.

    The university of Michigan should reveal the source of their grant for that study.

  7. and yet... on Games Industry Growth Outpacing US Economy · · Score: 2, Funny

  11. Re:That guy's just got it on Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P · · Score: 1

    the simplest explanation happens to be that the Internet is broken at the moment you tried streaming google video.

    I have comcast. I use bit torrent. I have a legal right to do so. Especially since I'm downloading and seeding Linux torrents. Comcast does not have a Legal right to tell me that I can't use bit torrent when I have a contract that denotes unlimited use and no blocking of anything. I don't need shit from comcast. There are plenty of ISPs who want my business.

  14. Re:Can it open .html files? on Amazon's Kindle Sells Out In 5.5 Hours · · Score: 1

    it handles .azd files by default.

    if you want to convert your .doc and .html and .txt files over, amazon charges $0.10 per file.

    on a cooler note, it also handles audiobooks and mp3 files natively.

  16. Re:the single best single player experience in yea on Call of Duty 4 Review · · Score: 1

    now you're just showing your ignorance.

    Ever heard of system shock 2? that brought character customization to FPS games.

    berzerk for 2600 brought stealth.

    You're just going back to those games because you're a raging fanboy.

  17. This from the musician with a reality tv show. on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    Gene, you're a relic. I love your music, but you're obsolete.

  18. Re:the single best single player experience in yea on Call of Duty 4 Review · · Score: 1

    Those are all good games that I have played.

    They just didn't have the depth of story or immersion of COD4.

    None of them brought anything more to gameplay.

    With COD4, there's the different roles you have that make the single player so fresh and interesting.

    The AC-130 mission is still my favorite. I still want to go back and play the whole game through again.

  19. the single best single player experience in years on Call of Duty 4 Review · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can't think of a better single player game I've tried in ten years.

    the FBI is violating the constitution.

    We as citizens have a duty to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. It's time to vote on the side of the Constitution. There are plenty of domestic enemies to the Constitution. Vote for America. Vote for freedom. Vote for justice. Vote your senators and congresspeople out of their cushy complacent jobs. Vote in people who have American values. Freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly.

  25. Re:i just don't get it on Take Two Settles Hot Coffee Suit For Millions · · Score: 1

    I completely agree.

    The lawsuit is frivolous at best.

    Any parent who bought this for their child needs their head examined.

    taking a baseball bat to an old lady in the street just doesn't compare with boobs. It's this christian revolution in our country. It has diluted our morals.

    Jesus would never beat a hooker. Jesus would never mow down citizens in an old beater. As for boobs, Jesus says, "release the twins".
