  1. Confused on Epson's Female Printer · · Score: 1
    Am I the only one confused here? I thought it was pretty damn straightforward... color or BW.. and inkjet or laser.

    Beyond that it's simply clicking the godamned print button in the application.

  2. Re:This isn't just about RIAA/MPAA on MPAA Puts Words in Mouth of CA Attorney General · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Do you think that everybody whose income depends on their ability to sell their own copyrighted work should just have to find another job?
    Yes.
  3. Re:Broken Legs on Powered Exoskeleton Legs · · Score: 1

    You should try Yoga and various stretching once the wounds are healed. The mind is a pretty powerful tool to get things back to normal (and then some).

  4. Re:Who actually pays? on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 1
    Why shouldn't one be allowed to use that license on different PCs in their home?

    I'd venture a guess and say because Microsoft doesn't want you to. Windows is owned by Microsoft, their license states what the terms of use are.

    But that's just a guess.

  5. TV has value on Losing Control of Your TV · · Score: 1
    TV is important to many of us. It's a form of entertainment, education, and current events. It has value in all three of these areas (at the very least).

    As with all things we value, we become used to them over time and we become accustomed to having it.

    When governments and corporations starting imposing new restrictions on the normal things in our life that we value (take for granted), then it becomes a big deal.

    With that said, being obsessive over anything is just asking for pain and drama in your life.

  6. Re:Broken Legs on Powered Exoskeleton Legs · · Score: 1
    I disagree. Using this would inhibit or even retard your recovery from injury. You need to TRY to walk normally in order to recondition your body. Otherwise your body will adapt to the new situation and you'll wind up walking all fucked up after you stop using the exoskeleton.

    Of course, IANAPT (I Am Not a Physical Therapist)

  7. Re:This will change nothing on Memory Deal Bolsters Xbox 2 HD Removal Rumors · · Score: 1

    Mod -1 Flambait, but that's stupid. Microsoft is not going to make 2 models like that because then their lower model WILL NOT SELL. Nobody wants to spend money on an inferior console.

  8. Re:3 words: HIRE A LAWYER - BUT ... on Modifying Employment Agreements? · · Score: 1

    What you should have done is made them aware of the modifications you made in the form of a request for the change. What you did was deceptive. However, Feel free to believe whatever will make you feel good about your actions.

  9. DVD's on SimpleTech Announces 8GB Compact Flash Card · · Score: 1
    I'm waiting for the day when DVD's are replaced by solid state media... It looks like the technology is here, we just gotta get the other stuff together (like standards, manufacturing plants, hardware support, etc..)

    Notice I didn't metion CD's... CD's should already be gone... replaced by DVD Audio.

  10. Make Love not War on Nasa Says 'no' to Hubble Reprieve · · Score: 1
    So.... it's perfectly acceptable to spend huge amounts of our taxes on multi-million dollar to kill brown people... but for knowledge and science it's too much to spend a fraction of that amount?

    You just gotta love the priorites here.

  11. Re:3 words: HIRE A LAWYER - BUT ... on Modifying Employment Agreements? · · Score: 1

    Ok, so you were deceptive with a legal document. That's not something to be proud of. Being deceptive with business is just asking for trouble *coughenroncough*

    Couple of grand? I had my lawyer look at my contract and suggest changes for $200. It was WELL worth it.

  13. Re:I have to disagree on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 1
    All religion now is based on one of two things:

    - Someone telling you how things are
    - Reading some ancient book that has been translated, rewritten, translated, rewritten repeatedly to the point of absurdity and is so conceptually old that all context is loss and it becomes just some random ancient story about the life and times of the ancients and has no clear and certain meaning beyond that.

    In my opinion, modern religion is based on blind outdated idealism passed on from others with the same blind outdated idealism. Let's not even talk about power struggles/mongering, and political manipulations.

    So why do people cling so fervently (even violently) to this blind idealistic thing called faith. I pose that it is at least 2 factors:

    - Good old fashioned brainwashing/conditioning by others
    - Ignorance is bliss, and they don't want to give up their bliss

    Again, this is just my opinion, so take it as that. I don't give a shit what you believe until you start pushing your beliefs on other people (especially those who are vulnerable to such manipulations)... In which case, you will anger me.

  14. Re:Mathematics not universal? on The Golden Ratio · · Score: 1

    We may not have this in common. You can't assume that an alien species has the same sensory observation capacity that we do. They may experience reality in a completely different way, such that it would be a non-trivial problem to convey the experience in our sensory experience.

    I was wrong and I now have deep sorrow for these individuals.

    Sorrow? These guys were so pumped up full of adrenaline in a explosive free fall... god damn what a rush that must of been.

    If I have to die, that's got to be one of the more exciting ways to go.

  17. Re:They don't care about us on Wal*Mart continues push for RFID adoption · · Score: 1
    I'm a little confused here. Walmart is a business. The point of a business is to make profit. Making customers happy results in more sales which brings more profit. Why should Walmart, a business, care for anything more than profit?

    If you're talking about a non-profit business, or a charity, then that's a different story. But businesses exist for the sole purpose of making money.

  18. Re:No... what he was trying to say is... on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 1

    However, Helium-3 and Deuterium have energy held in it's nucleor bonds and sub-atomic particles themselves. So by converting that stored energy we can harness it. So we do get more energy out than we put in of the time we can use to run our society... But most of it is simply stored as matter and bonds.

  19. Re:MANY more states of matter on Scientists Create Supersolid From Helium · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be funny if all these scientists were trying to figure reality out via physics and formulas... when in fact our reality is manifested by our thoughts and intent. I would laugh my ass off and spawn a few purple aliens.
