  1. Re:Why? on US Cord Cutters Getting Snubbed From NBC's Olympic Coverage Online · · Score: 1

    The events broadcast on NBC are available OTA, but they are also broadcasting some events on NBC Sports, MSNBC, USA and CNBC.

    Because let's face it, it's pretty unrealistic to get bent out of shape because you can't buy daisy wheels

  9. Re:It's price. on 62% of 16 To 24-Year-Olds Prefer Printed Books Over eBooks · · Score: 1

    Ebooks "should" be priced at whatever generates the most profit for the person selling it. I'm willing to pay more for ebooks over paper because of the fast delivery and portability that they offer. Why should I expect something to be sold for less than I'm willing to pay?

  10. GTA V on Ask Slashdot: Top Black Friday Tech Picks? · · Score: 1

    I've never gone to the stores on black Friday and I don't intend to start this year... But I did notice Amazon and Best Buy have Grand Theft Auto V on sale for $33.99 so I might go ahead and grab it since I was planning on buying it soon anyway. They also have some pretty slick deals on the Breaking Bad blu-rays.

    Am I correct to assume you're living in North Korea right now since you love totalitarian communism so much?

    No more weather satellites, FEMA, Smithsonian, NSF, NIH, FBI, national parks, war memorials, Air Force (only the army and navy are authorized by the Constitution), air traffic control and navigation aids, nuclear power regulation, radio spectrum coordination, food inspections, or killer asteroid tracking. Personally, I say good riddance. The private sector can do all of these things without the government getting in the way; and they'll do a better of it job, too.

    In summary, the United States' debt is junk. Also, they have plenty of money to make the payments. Thank you, Roman--you make a compelling argument and in no way sound like a crazy person.
