  1. Re:No on Antenna Arrays Could Replace Satellite TV Dishes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How long ago was that? Up until I got U-Verse I had been a Dish customer and I never lost signal even during hurricane Ike (I live in Houston). Well at least I didn't until the power went out. My next door neighbor lost her comcast cable about an hour after the storm hit and it was out for six weeks.

  2. Re:Something I find interesting on Gene Simmons Threatens Anonymous Again and Gets DDoS'd · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Gene Simmons has always been a businessman first a performer second and an artist a distant third. He has stated in interviews he had ideas for merchandising KISS paraphernalia long before they had a record deal. It's not surprising at all that his instinct is to sue anything that hurts his enterprise.

    That's extremely profound.

  4. Re:Looking forward to it on Microsoft Unveils Windows Phone 7 Lineup · · Score: 1

    iTunes has got to be one of the worst, most bloated, most annoying applications I've ever loaded on my PC

    Have you tried Media Monkey? You can sync your files and not have to worry about iTunes (although it still has to be installed). I use it almost exclusively for all my media files.

    What do you mean? They congratulated him on his new job and talked about his friends and relatives.

    When the FBI tells you that you are boring...just WOW!

  7. Re:As the economy improves??? on Flat Pay Prompts 1 In 3 In IT To Consider Jump · · Score: 1

    Statistics, misused, are useless.

    Looks to me like they were used precisely in the manner for which they were intended.

    "There are three types of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics." - Variously attributed to Benjamin Disraeli, Alfred Marshall, Mark Twain and many other dead people.

    Six months immediately struck me as peculiar.

  9. Re:What about the XR3? on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 1

    Well it does say at the top of the site

    "A Three-Wheeled 125-MPG Hybrid Vehicle
    You can build from plans..."

  10. What about the XR3? on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 1

    The XR3 has been around a few years and looks a lot more like a car than any of these. Is it because it is a three wheeler?

  11. Smart==unhappy on Why Are Terrorists Often Engineers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have noticed a disproportionate number of intellectuals are depressed. Probably because they are smart enough to know no matter what you do you are screwed. This in turn leads to acting out against the dumb/happy people. The dumb/happy people are generally unphased because they didn't even realized you just dissed them making the intellectual even more furious. Which in turn leads them to target the dumbest group of all...that's right...government officials which gets twisted to be a political statement instead of the "kill all dumb people" it was truly intended as.

    This is gonna kinda be like Godzilla vs. Mothra. It doesn't matter who wins the city of Tokyo is TOAST!

  15. This will certainly test California law on HP Sues Hurd For Joining Oracle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    California has a pretty clear cut law that makes almost all non-compete clauses NULL and VOID. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.

    I think you forgot to use your sarcasm (~S) flag there. At least looking at the replies and your being modded Flamebait and all.

    I know it's good to have a hobby. I guess I'm just more inclined to hobbies with real world applications like building cars or furniture.

    Of course this is beyond cool!

  24. Re:More sex? Not necessarily on Stats Show iPhone Owners Get More Sex · · Score: 1

    I agree with your sentiment but do I sense a bit of jealousy in the intonation of your post? Who says they can't just be in polygamous long term relationships? Monogamy has only been the societal norm for a few hundred years.

    What if they accidentally come across the documents on a coral cache or a tinyurl? Or simply look at the cached pages on Google?
