  1. Don't Buy HP on HP Disables VT On Some Intel Laptops · · Score: 1

    One of the many reasons I don't buy HP products. Save yourself the trouble and go to another brand.

  2. I have a bridge to sell you on Mars on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 1

    If you believe Troy Hurtubis then I have a bridge to sell you on Mars.

  3. It's Over For Blu-Ray on Adult Film Industry Moving To HD DVD · · Score: 1

    If this story is true then Blu-Ray is dead. The adult film industry has a large impact on what electronic people will buy. If the adult film makers picked HD-DVD then people will buy HD-DVD players to see their favorite porno stars.

    Sex sells electronics.

  4. Re:ummmm on HellGate London To Be For-Pay Online Experience · · Score: 1

    But DDO is crap. Less then 50k and dropping like a rock. I won't be surprise if it goes free in the next few months.

  5. This Story Is Stupid on Silly String Goes to War Against IEDs · · Score: 1

    You guys know that most IED on the road are trigger by radio or cell signal. It might be useful in an indoor area, however most traps are trigger when the door is open or by remote control from a spotter outside the house.

    The might story might give you a warm and fuzzy feeling but it is much more complicated then it sound. Realities is different from the movies.

  6. PC Gamer Raciest!! on Bad Press For Gold Farmers Affects Chinese Players · · Score: 1

    Their high moral grounds is to be raciest! MOD UP!

  7. Real Information: MOD UP on P2P Leaks Surprises · · Score: 5, Informative

    The guy is stupid. Not only does he not know anything about the US military or the regular GI do with their spare times. I do not know if those list are real or fake but the image is nothing to worry about. Most enlisted don't know jack about what the higher echelon is doing until the finial phase. Case in point: My friend got a notice to ship out. He had a one-day notice. No one on the ship except the Captain and his XO know in advance of what was going on. My friend doesn't even know when he will come back. It wasn't a special mission or anything. In fact when he got back home, he told us that they just ran around in circle for ten days doing nothing. This is just a small example of how the military works. The US military don't think like regular civilian.

    On the pictures issue, if you go to any gun or military website forum, you will see a lot of pictures that were taken by GIs all over the world, from combats to RR. There are in fact millions of pictures floating around websites that show those kinds of pictures. You don't need P2P to find out. GIs have their own website, units have their website, and God know how many other military related website on the web that show those kind of pictures.

    Here is an unit with their website and images. Some of the pictures are from Iraq. I found some of them enjoyable.

  8. Re:freedom of speach does not topple dictators. on The Web Won't Topple Tyranny · · Score: 1

    What destory the Berlin Wall was a few East German politicians brave enough to stand up and isolated the ruling class before a massacre
    could accrue. What those few people there would have been ten of thousands of people die.

    There is a really sick perception that Non-violent can overthrown dictators. These people live in a fansty land.

  9. Re:Another eroding factor. on The Web Won't Topple Tyranny · · Score: 1

    You know what brought down the Soviet? Guns. That's right, it was guns, lots and lots of guns. They couldn't keep up with the USA. They didn't have the resources to keep up with us. No money, no food, no government any more.

  10. The Nazi Party is Socialist on Google Complies with Law, Excludes 'controversial' Sites · · Score: 1

    While we are on the subject of Nazi, let me point out that Nazi stands for National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). You guess it, Nazi are socialist. Like all socialist left countries, censorship is a way of life. The left can't handle the truth.

  11. About Time on ICANN's Time Is Up, According To John Gilmore · · Score: 1

    It is about time they go. They made a big mess that will take years to fix.

  12. Terrorists on FBI Raids Homes and Seizes Bandwidth Pirates' PCs · · Score: 1

    Pathetic. Terrorists are running free in the USA and the FBI has time to go after bandwidth hogs. Do the nation a favor and stop using Buckeye Express or other service like it.

  13. Re:I'm sorry, you're looking for NETSCAPE! on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 1

    The slash screen is stupid anyway you look at it. Waste of CPU cycle, probably slow it down when lauching it.

  14. Disappointed on Mozilla 1.0 Officially Here · · Score: 0, Troll

    I would expect something more then this. I can't believe they went with the crappy Netscape interface. One of the reasons why everyone moves to IE was because NS had one of the worst user interfaces.

    I did download one of the first version of Mozilla and I did like their interface but the finally version use NS crappy interface. Mozilla won't beat IE with this kind of crappy interface. What a waste of effort.

  15. Another reason not to trust the media on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Bunch of morons. The liberal media are a bunch of idiots. They need to do their background research better. I can't believe that they think that a Roller Coasters ride has more Gforce then getting shoot up into space at an ungodly speed. Another reason not to trust the media.

  19. DeCSS is a none issue on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 1

    The DeCSS is a none issue. There are so many DVD ripper program out (all of which is free) there that there is no way the government or MPAA can do about it. The genie is out of the bottle and no one can put it back in. To be honest it is their own making. The MPAA will never come close to winning the war.

  20. Re:Don't understand all the negativity... on Australia Rules DVD's are Films, Not Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is something that most socialists don't understand. In a free market, the consumers determine the price. If they overcharge, then they will go out of business. Blockbuster is heading in that direction. Anyone one rent from Blockbuster, they seem to be dead. For the price of 1 video rental, I can rent 3 from a mom and pop store.

  21. Here is the Reason Why on Why Linux is About to Lose · · Score: 1

    Linux people are so goddamn elitist. When a person asks for help these elitist replies, "read the goddamn manual". This has turn a lot off people of Linux.

  22. Re:And in similar news.. on Microsoft Blames the Messengers · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    "Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson has asked that ammunition maker Black Talon stop making bullets since "guns don't kill people, bullets do.""

    Black Talon is the name of the bullet. The maker of the Black Talon is Winchester

    http://www.winchester.com/

    Black Talon is like any other premium HP that is in the civilian market. The reason why it was voluntary pull out of the civilian market was gun-grabbing liberals that know nothing about bullet design.

    First these liberals where scare of the name "Black Talon". It sounded so mean that it must be bad.

    Second the bullet was painted black which scare the hell out of the gun-grabbing liberals. Black Talon does not penetrate soft body armor like its name might suggested. In fact in some tests it perform badly compare to other premium HP. I think Winchester stop making Black Talon but did improve on the design and rename it Ranger Talon, which unfortunately is still for LEA only.

    The marking department of Winchester did a good job at marking Black Talon. This is also its downfall.
