  1. Re:Cheap good tasting food is bad for you. on Does 'Supersizing' Supershrink Your Brain? · · Score: 1

    I prefer a vegetarian diet I think meat is gross and would rather not eat it, but at the same time I am extremely physically active I need to eat meat or I have to eat non stop all day long. BTW I have a hyper active thyroid and average at 135LB no matter what I eat.

  2. Cheap good tasting food is bad for you. on Does 'Supersizing' Supershrink Your Brain? · · Score: 0

    Shitty tasting expensive food is good for you. Who would have thought? Funny how there was that story yesterday about IBM's you get paid based on what you eat patent. Basically if you can't afford to eat good because we don't pay you very good we will pay you less so you buy even cheaper food and we have to pay you even less.

  3. Re:Oops! on Israeli Spyware Sold To Iran · · Score: 5, Insightful

    More a case of oops I got caught. Just a greedy company trying to make more money and trying to get around the law. But it looks like they will probably have some consequences to deal with now.

  5. Re:That is like suing Ford on Spanish Court Rules In Favor of P2P Engineer · · Score: 1

    95% of my bittorrent downloads (I also seed so the bandwidth I pay for isn't going to waste when I'm at work) are the latest Fedora and Chakra with the occasional (other). As for the rest. I have both of those CD's so fair use suckers.

  6. That is like suing Ford on Spanish Court Rules In Favor of P2P Engineer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    because a deranged criminal killed a pedestrian with a stolen car. Wow the judge did his job no story here. Unless the story is about judges doing their jobs, in which case we have a winner.

  8. Re:General usability should be one of the choices on Examining the Usability of Gnome, Unity and KDE · · Score: 1

    Because it is free and mostly works out of the box. Especially for people that are constantly changing hardware on multiple systems, use older hardware etc and don't play many game. That is your primary desktop user.

  9. Re:Hard to do w/o a Hayes compatible modem.... on Kazakhstan Disables the Internet , Telecomix Restores · · Score: 1

    I have a Macintosh classic 1991 with 8" monochrome screen. Only old computer I kept other than a Pentium Pro 200mhz.

    Ubiquitous technology in the hands of the government is backed by guns also in the hands of the government.

  12. Sounds like the judge... on Judge Orders Man To Delete Revenge Blog · · Score: 1

    wants to set a precedent in case someone wants to blog about his sexual issues in the future. But seriously if someone has a restraining order on you and you umm be the asshole people will think your the asshole whatever the case may be.

  13. So does Canada. on Russia Set To Extend Life of Nuclear Reactors Past Engineered Life Span · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Chalk river reactor.

  14. Not fair. on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most of your Window users are technologically illiterate. IE is there it works why fart around with it. To use a sort of car analogy how many people look under the hood of their car? Never mind improve it beyond stock. Now I bet the guys that heavily modify their cars have higher intelligence than the average stiff. Any person inclined to tinker with or improve things most likely is smarter than the average Joe. Average Joe is most likely to push the largest shiniest button with a flashing red light whatever the case may be, especially is the button say "Do not touch".

  15. Realy who gives a shit on German Court Issues Injunction Against iPhone & iPad · · Score: 1

    My Android is awesome . Buddy's iPhone is awesome. Guy at work says his Storm2 is way better than my old Storm. They are all so close with minor differences that people chose to harp on. Get real, you love them cause they cost more than a decent laptop and you need to justify it to your self.

  16. Everything is ultimatly harmful to consumers on DoJ Investigates eBook Price Fixing · · Score: -1, Troll

    Otherwise there would be no profit from or reason to manufacture and sell anything. Ultimately someone's profit is someone else's loss.

  17. FAT on Two-Thirds of Lost USB Drives Carry Malware · · Score: -1

    Let me guess all of them were formatted in FAT and were owned by idiots. All of mine are EXT 2 and never touch a computer that has a FAT fs. Plus I never lose my USB sticks and if I did they would only have pictures or occasionally a Live distro of some variety. 50 of anything is not a good test base and people that ride trains are a small demographic.

  18. Re:Lets not just include Apple on EU Targets Apple In Ebook Investigation · · Score: 0, Interesting

    Different pricing between e-book distributors would possibly give one platform an advantage. Those evil publishers could very well be balancing out the market so one reader doesn't become the most popular because of book price rather than the readers own merit. And if one reader did get majority market share how long would they keep selling cheap books.

  22. Migratory birds. on Toxic Montana Lake's Extremophiles Might Be a Medical Treasure Trove · · Score: 1

    Migratory game birds land on the tailing ponds in Ft Mcmurry then they die. Green peace starts complaining, and Suncor gets fined even in situations were severe winter storms take out the sonic cannons and other deterrents. Now what system is in place to prevent birds from landing in the pool of acid? And why doesn't Green peace protest against BP? Gulf spill comes to mind.
