  1. didnt we have the conversation yesterday? on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    except it was DVD vs Blu-ray

  2. obvious differences on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 1

    going from VHS to DVD was an obvious step forward, same with 8-track->cassette->CD, and B&W TV ->color TV-> High Def TV

    DVD to Blu-ray, the difference is not that dramatic, especially whine you don't have a large High Def TV... anything under 35" the difference is negligible.

  4. Re:tea bagger nation on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    if you get taxpayer support, there should be strings attached, there is no contradiction there. I think they should go further and do drug tests on those that receive taxpayer money so we aren't supporting their bad behavior either. in other words, you want to be a fat ass or crack whore do it on your own dime.

  7. Re:A stain on my country's tattered honor on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 1

    "everyone who signed the American Declaration of Independence ought to have hung too"

    what a dumb statement... if the British were able to get a hold of them, the WOULD have be hung... in case you forgot, a war broke out after the Declaration was signed, the Brits didn't roll over and say, "sure, go ahead, we will let you."

  8. Re:Quakes aren't new in AR... on Arkansas Earthquakes Could Be Man-Made · · Score: 1

    just because you are ignorant of the subject doesn't mean it isn't true... look up the New Madrid Seismic zone and try to learn something...

    are you sure he doesn't stand to profit financially, have you ignored him getting in bed with GE?

    Funny... that stuff was also taught in the early 1900s as well... didnt we become a superpower in that timeframe?

  17. Re:Rated M for Mentally Insane on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    you mean like the families of those contestants that get on American Idol who say their little angels can actually sing?

  18. Re:i'm slightly skeptical on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    pffft.... that's just crazy talk

  19. Re:Talking Heads on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    no, sadly they don't see the hypocrisy...

  20. Re:Talking Heads on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    or even the lyrics of the music he actually listened to, as opposed to the talking heads he didn't listen to, right? cause lyrics to songs never caused someone to do something like that right? http://www.charliemanson.com/helter-skelter.htm

  21. Re:Slashdotters in the Spotlight on Patriot Act Up For Renewal, Nobody Notices · · Score: 1

    I didn't like it then, not because I thought it would be abused at the time, but because you never give a gov't that kind of power, since they will never give it up and it would continue to grow.

    some of which were placed next to AC vents, blacktop parking lots and other heat reflecting items

  23. have they moved the monitoring stations yet on NASA Says 2010 Tied For Warmest Year On Record · · Score: 1
