  1. Re:Why can't anyone see the implications of this? on This is IT? · · Score: 1

    Your understanding....is wrong. I thought the product website was pretty clear about how it's propelled by electric motors and rechargeable batteries.
    What's that? You didn't read the site and you still think it runs on a Stirling engine?

    As for Ch.1, yeah, no guarantees it'll stay around.
    Regarding Tivo functionality,

    "The Ch.1 Platform also supports an internal hard disk option, presumably to add the feature of video recording and storage"
    which isn't a guarantee, but I can't imagine including hard drive support without plans for using it for recording.

    Also, my personal experience is that standard 27" TV's aren't generally capable of displaying 800*600 resolution without looking like fuzzy ass, and I wasn't aware of a WebTV that supported Ethernet (I didn't say it doesn't exist, just that I wasn't aware of it).

    >If these children were meant to have hands...

    So, er, it's not possible for people to lose limbs/extremities in accidents? And if they do, it's wrong to replace them?
    What if it's, say, a faulty heart valve or something? Is it wrong to fix it?

    >They are obscene and thus illegal.

    yes, Obscenity == illegal.
    Unfortunately for you, profanity != obscenity.
    IANAL, but last time I checked, the only thing that is considered illegal under the "obscene" thing is child pornography, and that because it depicts an illegal act.

    >The first ammendment only protects good speach

    Er, that's "speech" and "amendment", but in any case, you're full of crap. The first Amendment is designed precisely to protect speech that people don't like. If no one was offended, there would be no need to protect it, now would there?
