  1. Re:First quiery on Untraceable Messaging Service Raises a Few Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    Funny, but the fact remains that this provides freedom to all groups, including the pro-democracy ones in say China or Iran. I would rather give the people the power to fight for the right cause then give governments the power to suppress what they think is the wrong one.

  2. say what? on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 1

    Squirrel, please!

  3. Re:I'm not surprised. on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 1

    Seems to me like he was looking for a way to get away from his family and life, and that WoW is a conduit, but not the cause.

    I bet if someone tried to play with him and create a dialogue things might improve.

    Work out a deal that pleases both sides.

  4. Re:Tax payer money at work on Virtual Reality Gaming System Tests for Telepathy · · Score: 1

    Also, it would be nice if they could predict unlikely events before they actually happened (11/09/2001 or 26/12/2004, anyone?)!

    Clearly the terrorists have their own psychics busy jamming ours, duh.

    Uh, radio signals are a physical channel. However, how would this be different from speaking to each other as we do now, which is just the same manipulation of energy/matter at lower levels.

  6. TFSM on Pope Advised Hawking Not to Study Origin of Universe · · Score: 1

    What people don't know is Hawking didn't publish his alternate theory, because the Pope was afraid of the evidence his discovered that The Flying Spaghetti Monster actually created the universe, for the original book was called "A Brief History of Thyme", obviously referencing the spice which tastes good on spaghetti and meatballs. Yarr. Ramen.

  7. aah, monoliths on Three Neptune-sized Planets Found Nearby · · Score: 1

    Nothing beats +2 minerals, +2 nutrients, and +2 energy without having to waste time with formers.

    Also good for quick healing of troops. (But don't overdo it!)

  9. Re:We have them now on Louisiana Passes Violent Games Bill · · Score: 1

    It would have been interesting to follow the ethical course of action, yes, but the south's grand tradition states that appeasing the conservative voters is probably the safer bet for their careers than voting with the laws of the nation. Make the judges look like hippes instead.

  10. Re:Who would you rather deal with on this? on Hardware Firms Go Against Crowd on Net Neutrality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Luckily all those crazy people in congress have to run for election and have a tendency to want to appease their masses. CEOs, however, only need appease stockholders by making profit.

  11. Re:Broken down . . . on Hardware Firms Go Against Crowd on Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    "Money Good. No make law make us lose money."

    Sounds like the Republican party line ;-)

  12. Re:Not laws, you the reality will stop this nonsen on Hardware Firms Go Against Crowd on Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    It's not a business issue, it's a freedom issue. They shouldn't have the right discriminate information flow in any way. It's just not an allowed business model period, any more than Toyata has a say where you drive your car.

    Perhaps the politicians are muddling things up and need to slow down, but nuetrality must be observed in the end. Governments exist to protect us(in theory), and legislation will do that because trusting companies or the market is gambling with liberty, and unacceptable.

    It's a pity, they should have made a full length feature movie with all that time.

  15. wow on Trojan Deletes Your Porn, Music & Warez · · Score: 1

    You never appreciate your girlfriend, or for most here the possibility of having one, until your happy convienent pr0n movie box fails.

  16. it's a tragedy... on Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame? · · Score: 1

    I mean, come on. Has there ever been a video game made after a tragedy?

    'Can you bomb Hiroshima and end the war?'

    That's not fun unless you're sick.

  17. let's be honest on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As much as I don't trust Bushco, I just can't see all those people not being dead. You can't cover up something that big.

    I mean, we clearly saw the planes hit the towers, so it's logical to assume that if planes were used in place A, why bother to not use planes in place B.

    I think the thurst of the paranoia would be better suited looking at how the towers fell as if internal explosions took them down, and the planes were just for drama. That's the only part that I think I can begin to question, though that's not to say our government is more behind it than any other government in the world. If anything's wrong, it's the towers falling so quickly like they did.

    Not that I really believe Bush planned it, (is he smart enough?) but if someone other than bin Laden and his crazies was in on it, I want their heads too.

  18. Re:Fight your own battles. on Tech Workers of the World Unite? · · Score: 1

    "In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped."
