  1. Re:*Please* RTFA on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

    Thank you. I wish I had mod points today.

  2. Re:Its ok on Security Fears Over Google Accelerator · · Score: 1

    and the news, too.

    Google's starting to scare me, and I'm not even a tinfoil-hatter.

  3. Lucas is astroturfing on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 1

    Buying articles like this on sites like How Stuff Works is very subtle. Nice trick.

  4. Re:All this... on India Launches World's First Stereo Imaging Satellite · · Score: 1

    Fender guitars?

  5. Re:The problem on New Awards To Compete With Nobel Prizes · · Score: 1

    Secularism is merely the correct philosophy for a modern society. It is not meant to cure every social problem.

    Nintendo.

    Hey, wait a minute....

  7. Re:What the Bells et al don't tell you is... on Broadband War & an Interactive Municipal Map · · Score: 1

    I grew up in one of those extreme rural areas. Our electric company was a co-op. Grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission, a favorite punching bag of Republicans, helped subsidize the infrastructure, in the mid-50's.

    I think a similar thing for broadband would be fantastic, except there's no point - everyone that lives in extreme rural areas and wants broadband already has it through Direcway (I know, it sucks, my parents still live in the boonies and have it) or similar.

  8. Re:The problem on New Awards To Compete With Nobel Prizes · · Score: 1

    To be fair, I should point out that the 'safe sex' policies lauded by prior administrations weren't exactly effective either. Better to try something new that doesn't work than stick with the same old that hasn't been working for decades.
    Yeah, because nobody thought of abstinence before. Especially not the church, which is who is feeding Bush his entire platform.

  9. Re:Stupid Press Releases on Online Shoppers Aren't Impulsive · · Score: 1

    blame UPS for that. They're the ones with the idiotic ship only on weekdays policy.

    Fedex Ground/Home Delivery will do Saturdays, as will Priority Mail (which in my experience has been better than UPS in every way)

  10. Re:Won't it be struck down? on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 0

    unless they're wrongly accused, right?

  11. Re:Trusted by whom on Google to use TrustRank for News, Possibly More · · Score: 1

    Google will give the higher TrustRank rating to the site that the government tells them to give it to.

  12. Re:He's off the mark. on Dvorak Trashes Modern Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    I actually enjoyed the Spider-Man 2 DS game. It's never going to replace anyone's #1 on any list of the best games of all-time, but it was better than that teenage dating game shit and the Super Mario 64 rehash that they released along with it, at least.

  13. Now Google is starting to go too far. on Google to use TrustRank for News, Possibly More · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So Google wants to be the web's authoritative source on what sites can be trusted? I don't think I like the sound of that. No one entity should have that job.

    Ideally everyone would use common sense, but so few people have that anymore that it's almost quaint to suggest it.

  14. Re:hate of eps I and II was quite genuine on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    No, married and happily so, with great in-laws. Try another stereotype.

  15. Re:He's off the mark. on Dvorak Trashes Modern Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    what about using an auxiliary analog stick?

    That said, I'm happy to hear that a decent DS game is coming out.

  16. Re:good think you didn't mod on Bacteria Made to Behave as Computers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm with you. I love my country and I always will, but I'm ashamed of its government.

  17. Re:Doesn't Smith have better things to do... on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    He apologized for Mallrats, way before Chasing Amy even came out.

  18. Re:Why do geeks like Kevin Smith so much? on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    Kevin Smith has a following because there are a shitload of guys out there that are both turned on and intimidated by their girlfriends' sexual histories. Every one of his movies that I've seen has this as a major story arc.

  19. Re:hate of eps I and II was quite genuine on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    yeah, but I hate cliche's like the one about evil mothers-in-law so I'd do it just on general principle.

  20. Re:hate of eps I and II was quite genuine on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    that's a damn good point.

  21. Re:Spoiler that eases the mind... on Kevin Smith Previews Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or, Obi-Wan could have been lying to Luke when he said he didn't know the droids. Or if you're into psychobabble, maybe it's a represssed memory, since the droids were associated in obi-wan's mind with a horrible tragic event.

  22. Re:Had a similar, RL case on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 1

    yeah, the ALT-F4 thing is ultimately harmless. It just closed their copy of mIRC. That dd command was shitty, though.

  23. Re:Had a similar, RL case on The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker · · Score: 5, Funny

    I used to change channel topics to read "User Op Day! Press ALT-F4 For Ops!" and watch half the channel drop :)

  24. Re:Send in the Clones! on White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting · · Score: 1

    in the 1992 election they did. Perot came off as a moderate republican then. He didn't go batshit crazy until the 1996 election.
