  1. Re:Lack of news on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    Lack of coverage? Probably because the protest appears to be more about smug hipsters sitting around with their cameras waiting for something to film, jockeying to be the first to release a video they desperately hope will go viral.

  2. Re:It might be white... on Discovery Brings Us One Step Closer To "Milking" Pigeons · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Yahoo can't get enough of that litigation actio on Yahoo Blocked Emails About Wall Street Protests · · Score: 1

    Wow, I don't know a better way of driving users away from an email service, then to try to filter their content.

    Not filtering outgoing email only enables spambots. I use gmail because it does a great job filtering content.

  4. Re:Link bait? on Netflix To Lose 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the tip on Vudu - that might be enough for me to drop the Netflix disk. The only bad thing would be if I was to rent a season of a show - trying to watch that in 2 days and all. Then again, I guess I could pony up a couple more bucks...

    Glad to hear that's the first thing you thought of. *rolls eyes*

    Throwback is negative? Hrmph, ok, if you say so.

  8. Re:This Article is Borderline Defamation on TSA Groper Files Suit Against Blogger · · Score: 0

    +1, but too many people fall over themselves to join the circle jerk. Just look at the blog lady - raped. That's a pretty big leap of faith using that word, but she gets a free pass because it was the TSA. Wonder how she'll describe her next pelvic exam...

  9. Re:It's convenience and security. on Why the Fax Machine Refuses To Die · · Score: 1

    Reread the summary - I think you're missing the point. This idea that a fax signature is somehow more real than an email signature is misguided and needs to change.

  10. Re:This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Until I show them how I can hook my phone or mp3 player up to ANY computer and put files on it without needing to install iTunes.

  11. Re:This is a sad day for the tech world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Luckily you can put gas in your Ducati at any gas station you go to, you don't have to have the special cradle or iTunes in order to do it.

    Just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

  12. Re:Laptops on Using Tablets Becoming Popular Bathroom Activity · · Score: 1

    That's when it's time to flush, whether needed or not. I do my best to make sure whoever is on the other end know that the other half of the conversation is being held in a bathroom.

  13. Re:Relevance vs Revelation on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: -1, Troll

    Undoing accidental mod. Hopefully Tony will come back and remember to call you a bigot too, it's yet another one of those words that should be lumped into Godwin's Law.

    I love how the anti-Creationists love to refute religion by citing evidence of evolution - but no one has a good explanation of time=0. I believe there's a lot that we don't (can't?) understand about space and time. All we really know is 3 dimensions and linear time - is it possible there was never a beginning because something always just was? That kind of stuff blows my mind and then you get so many schmucks that come on here chiming in about how religion is fairy tales. Makes me want to scream: Quick taking the easy way out you mindless prick! Give it a little thought and realize that NOBODY has it figured out. So religion is just as good as your exploding rock theory.

  14. Re:it's true you boys on The Death of Booting Up · · Score: 1

    And that's why you become a coffee drinker. Well, one of the reasons anyway. You have to have something to do while the computer does its makeup.

  15. Re:What's better consumer value? on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    whoa... Angry Birds was first released on the iPhone, right? And the iPhone is an Apple product, so why shouldn't the innovative tag hold?!

  16. Re:Dear Motorola... on Wireless Charging On the Droid Bionic? · · Score: 1

    Verizon is the bigger infringer IMHO - don't charge me twice for data. YTF should you care if I'm tethering?!

  17. Re:13,000mph? on DARPA Set To Blast Falcon Mach 20 Test Flight · · Score: 1

    +/-17500 mph is orbital velocity, mach tends to lose its meaning as it is dependent on air density if memory serves.

    Good Lord, who reads the first sentence and mods this insightful?

  19. Re:Risk on Space Shuttle Atlantis Last Night In Space Orbit · · Score: 1

    While you're correct that the agency does not like to take risk, you're pretty far off on the "nearly a decade" assessment. The flights after Challenger and Columbia were both on the order of 2.5 years after the accident.

    With that said, if it was my money in that billion dollar vehicle, I'd probably err on the side of safety too. *shrug*

  20. Re:So when this gets hacked... on Ford Demonstrates Networked Cars · · Score: 1

    It sounds like hacking this means you don't get warned, how is that creating collisions?

    the lead car will take a huge hit in miles/km per gallon/liter

    That's better than today where pretty much every car is the lead car. I imagine the networked cars can ride about 24 inches between one another too.

  22. Re:Not fear - disgust on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    I do that at least twice a year (well, 4 times actually - up and back). Not much to see north of Oklahoma City and Wichita to KC is pretty boring.

  23. Re:What a waste of time. on Pastafarian Wins Right To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 0

    You started in all caps and swearing. Huh, I guess that's just a warning that you mean business. Or you're really, REALLY serious this time. Or maybe you're just getting excited about something that you really haven't thought about for more than 10 seconds. Crawl back into your hole. As much as you really want to, you can't dismiss religion, both its merits and accomplishments, with the stroke of a brush.
