    I bet I'll make out in the tens of cents, maybe even the dollars if I'm lucky.

    There was a high of 37% women back in the 80s, it has decined since then. That's what the other comment was trying to say.

  5. Re:Not in the hospital I work at. on Intel Processor Could Be In Next-Gen Google Glass · · Score: 1

    I've been to hospitals where they pulled up my records on tablets, then proceeded to look something up on google that we were talking about.

  6. Re:And this is why... on Cameron Accuses Internet Companies Of Giving Terrorists Safe Haven · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I too should be able to pay a one days profit (yes that's what banks that helped terrorists and terrorist countries had to do) for crimes I commit. What's $30-$100 or so everytime I commit major fraud or help terrorists?

  7. Re:writer doesn't get jeopardy, or much of anythin on Alva Noe: Don't Worry About the Singularity, We Can't Even Copy an Amoeba · · Score: 1

    People gave you 0 because they don't remember the Simpson's episode you're refrencing, or that she had to pay them.

    Have you not seen the grafite composite batteries they have working? Charging time for batteries is getting quicker and quicker.

    I don't steal from stores, yet I pay higher prices at stores because a few people are thieves. So yes, people do pay for things they don't take advantage of all of the time.

  12. Re:This article is useless on Facebook Planning Office Version To Rival LinkedIn, Google · · Score: 0

    I agree with your point about what I was saying. It seems Facebook is trying to capture it because it's a failed market.

  13. Re:Now it gets real on State Department Joins NOAA, USPS In Club of Hacked Federal Agencies · · Score: 3, Insightful

    NOAA was taken down and it almost effected everyone that uses the weather/sea info. And that's a lot of companies and organizations.

  14. This article is useless on Facebook Planning Office Version To Rival LinkedIn, Google · · Score: 1, Interesting

    All it has is opinions that aren't backed up by any facts. First, most companies I've worked for don't even block Facebook, and even if they do the website will probably be some thing like Facework.com or something to further distinguish itself from your personal account. Second, Linkden was hacked, so I don't know how "secure" it is. Third, Linkden is not a more professional looking site than Facebook, and the fact that people shove themselves into your circle or whatever steared me away from Linkden long ago. Hardly anyone I know under the age of 30 uses it unless they're foreign or looking for a new job. I doubt Facebook will have a problem with market penetration like the author of the linked article thinks they will.

  15. The UK doesn't have freedom of speech on Cameron Says People Radicalized By Free Speech; UK ISPs Agree To Censor Button · · Score: 5, Informative

    A lot of people are going to complain about the freedom of speech or expression, but that's a pretty American thing. Most countries have limited freedoms of speech, the UK included. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... I wish more countries had absolutely protected speech, but somehow things that are "offensive" to any ONE person are vilified. I'm sure a lot of people would have wanted to censor MLK Jr. and others, it's not just terrorists and nazi's that use freedom from opression to get their points heard. It seems a lot of people forget that.

  16. Re:It's only worth it on Will Lyft and Uber's Shared-Ride Service Hurt Public Transit? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, I imagine someone with a large vehicle like a suburban would be able to pull this off. $5.00, 6 people, makes about $30 each trip, hopefully shuttles people out or has some sort of rounds they can do and bam, they're making between $30-$60 an hour. Or like myself I drive to work, roughly 45min. I've carpooled with friends before, but I could easily do it with strangers if I was making somewhere around $5-$15 each way that would more than pay for gas.

    DC is number a close number two. There isn't much Public Transit in the US.

    i read several reviews of both assassins creed games before the launch. I know some sites held them back, but really why? The reviews were mostly in line with others in the series. The only thing I can think is that there was a day one patch.

  19. Re:This Primise Is Already False on Carmakers Promise Not To Abuse Drivers' Privacy · · Score: 1

    If I hadn't made a comment on this post before I would upvote this comment. You're right, a super highmileage car should have less value to insure, but that also means you lied about how much you drive it and your insurance wasn't calculated for someone that drives to the moon for work.

  20. Re:They don't get what it means to SELL a car on Carmakers Promise Not To Abuse Drivers' Privacy · · Score: 1

    One of the many reasons I prefer to buy older cars, especially since the computers are already so complicated many independent mechanics can't reset half the systems.

    Don't a lot of newer cars have black boxes that the police download from right after a major accident without any court orders or warrants?

  23. Re:What is a drone? on Drone Sightings Near Other Aircraft Up Dramatically · · Score: 2

    There are no defnitions of it, a drone should be a completely unmanned autonomous aircraft, but those don't exist. So for now it's anything that flys around without a person inside. Kites are just drones with strings nowadays.

  24. Re:These idiots are going to ruin it for everyone on Drone Sightings Near Other Aircraft Up Dramatically · · Score: 1

    Pilots didn't report bird sightings, now replace the idea of birds with the bombardment of info about "drones." Suddenly everything that flies is no longer a bird, but a "drone." This kind of thing happens all of the time in society; so why not to pilots?

  25. Re:SMS to land line on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 1

    Do people who use non-mac PCs and Android tablets not have cell phones too? This line of questioning seems a little extreme. He also said other than calling, so for a land line he would use the universal method of calling. I have comcast for my landline and they'll send the text message to my app if you send me one.
