  2. Re:Why does everything need to be tech based? on Re-Inventing Hotwheels · · Score: 1

    My nephew who is still young likes playing with his hotwheels cars and playsets just as much as his gameboy.

    The real news here is not that ABC has commercials but rather ABC is still around. I had no idea. So what's next The Dodo bird is not extinct"

  5. Re:My question is... on Prototype System Blocks Digital Cameras · · Score: 1

    I honestly can't remeber the last time I went to a movie that was disrupted by a cell phone. I go to the movies a few times a month. I'm sure I can't be the only one that isn't having a hard time. What I want to know is why the picing on cell phones. If it's not a cell phone ringing is some one witha crying kid or someone making too much noise with the food or the wrapper or someone talking to teh person next to them. We have had distractions t the movie theatre for as long as I can remember.

    Yeah I jumped the gun.

    For a moment I thought it was going to be one of those mistakes where I misplaced a decimal point. "I always do that!"

    Thank you for the peer review.

  8. Re:RMS! on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was reading this and saw the 165,000 figure and I knew that couldn't be much of the population. I checked wikipedia and it amounts to .2% of the population. .2%, so i wondered what other groups made .2% or more of a population and figured I checked the amount of people who said they were Jedi for a religion in Britain. That came in at .7% of the countries population.

    Geee and he wasn't allowed in right away......

    It can't be a Mac, it plays games.

  10. Re:Cheaper Macs? on Intel To Slash Prices Up To 60% · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thats probably why I like AMD. The whole underdog thing. I hope that as being the underdog the company is forced to make a superior product to stay alive and is probably willing to except a lower margin to gain market share. Thats my hope anyway.

    Oh and plus I hate the Blue Man Group.

  11. Re:There is a key difference on Texas to Provide Online 'Bordercams' · · Score: 1

    Just curious, I know the two are different and I'm not a big fan of analogies, but lets say your at work and your neighbor sees someone breaking in to your house. Would you want them to call the police department?

  12. Re:You are not a Windows user. on 20 Things You Won't Like About Vista · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Hmmmm.
    Yeah.
    I'm not a grammar expert but I'm pretty sure you don't capitalize the F in "F**k you".

  13. Re:More noteworthy... on Airbus Plans to Expand Cockpit Automation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As far as B goes. How is this the fault of the onboard computer? It seems as though the pilot should not have waited so long to increase the thrust. It seems to me that the pilot put the plane in a no win situation. If the computer would have acted as the pilot had requested the plane would hve went in to a stall and still would have crashed in to the woods.

  14. Re:Disagree all you like, doesn't make it true on First Mobile Phone Virus Nears 2nd Birthday · · Score: 1

    Whoa, blast from the past. That was the first virus that ever infected one of my machines.

    I think you missed the a 3rd scenario.

  20. Re:Encrypt the disks. on Handling Corporate Laptop Theft Gracefully · · Score: 1

    I didn't think any excryption was perfect. So what happens if they do encrypt the disk and the drive gets stolen. If they don't report it and the encrytion is broken what recourse do those people with compromised information/identities have?

  21. Re:Are You Stuck On Stupid??? on Mobile Phone Transmitter Causes Brain Tumours? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In one of my Criminology classes we talked about the use and misuse of statistics. The example was used that areas with a high stork population have a high human birthrate. Does that mean that storks bring babies?

    Like the post above said:
    Correlation is not causation.

    Hmm that's odd, according to this site being moderated funny does not increase Karma /. "Note that being moderated Funny doesn't help your karma. You have to be smart, not just a smart-ass.".

    So how exactly is he karma whoring?
