  1. Re:How to do rock band without "Rock Band" on The Design Failures That Led To Rock Band · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're wrong - Guitar Hero is an order of magnitude harder than playing a real guitar.

    And you'll just have to believe me since you haven't bothered to get out of the basement in the last 4 years to even try it once. Which basically means you have absolutely no basis to formulate an opinion or a comparison. Just sayin'.

    Incidentally, in the time that it took you to explain how to begin to learn to play the guitar, you could have played one or two classic songs on GH.

    Maybe dat's becuz he be keepin it real.

  3. Re:Show some evidence on Why the Google Android Phone Isn't Taking Off · · Score: 1

    so what are the numbers, A. D. Hominem?

  4. Re:Gutless? on World's Only Diesel-Electric Honda Insight · · Score: 1

    I just linked to the current SuperDuty page - I've got a '06 6.0L. So I'm right there with you on the turbo lag, but once it kicks in, that backend gets squirrelly. :)

    Diesels still don't put down a ton of horsepower...

    What's a ton? My daily driver is cranking out about 400 HP. It came from the factory at around 325.

  6. Re:The sensible answer is a protest on No Social Media In These College Stadiums · · Score: 1

    So... you mean anyone can come to my house, whether or not I approve? Private property is still private property.

  7. Re:the math doesn't work on Chevy Volt Rated At 230 mpg In the City · · Score: 1

    Wasn't gas about $1.25 or $1.50 10 yrs ago? Now it's $2.50, which is what is was a couple years ago... great depression aside. And prices didn't get all retarded until after Katrina.

    I'd expect $3 to $3.50 in 10 yrs.

  8. Re:Depending on who you believe on Earth's Period of Habitability Is Nearly Over · · Score: 1

    Mod -1: troll whore

  9. Re:It's a bad thing. on College Credits For Trolling the Web? · · Score: 1

    But the persecution *is* everywhere. This website is supposed to be for nerds, not religion haters. Yet, there's plenty of people who seem to make it their own personal crusade to attack anyone who could be so foolish to think there might be another explanation. Just sayin'.

  10. Re:RAM optimization on Microsoft Denies Windows 7 "Showstopper Bug" · · Score: 4, Informative

    Optimizations aren't supposed to crash the computer.

    The original report I read was full of drama, too much IMHO, and the bug could be fixed in the first service update.

  11. Re:YRO on US Marine Corps Bans Social Networking Sites · · Score: 1

    Wow, so the most advanced military in the world is stupid now? What a revelation! Crazy that you haven't been modded insightful yet, huh?

  12. Re:More accurate summary on Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone" · · Score: 1

    Get them before they get you? That's a pretty crappy approach in life, IMHO.

  13. Re:Nice thought, bad planning on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1

    I live in Texas, have for 12 years, and have put thousands of miles on my bike while riding the roads here. Guess what - only 5 tickets for going too slow.

    Believe me? You shouldn't because that this "unposted rule" exists in the same place as the tickets: only in your head.

  14. Re:Nice thought, bad planning on Bike Projector Makes Lane For Rider · · Score: 1

    Because, if I am right about the laws in my area...

    ...why have you been telling everyone else they're wrong?!

    Note to GP: life is not all about you.

  16. Re:As usual with new Firefox releases... on Firefox 3.5 Reviewed; Draws Praise For HTML5, Speed · · Score: 1

    True, but the browser should NOT be everything to everyone. Otherwise, you wind up with bloatware in order to cater to the needs of every user, like the ones who like to have 120 tabs open.

  17. Re:Poll results on News Sites Slammed By Michael Jackson Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did you even RTFSummary? News sites were slammed, but you suggest that he didn't have much effect on the world outside the music industry. Does not compute.

  18. Re:Simple safety solution on Watch TV On Your Satnav · · Score: 1

    No it's not, it's a system design decision made to let the consumer use their product in a way they see fit. It's a lousy safety design only if you ASSume that the driver can't exercise self control and that the system will always be installed where the driver will be watching it.

  19. Re:LoJack for your iPhone? on Tracking Thieves With 'Find my iPhone' · · Score: 1

    This is why I don't have MobileMe for my iPhone, I just have enough sense to keep my phone in my pocket (the front pants), and not let it out of sight just like my wallet and other personal possessions.

    Ya know, you shouldn't tempt karma like that...

  20. Re:And? on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 1

    I could be wrong, but I thought it was the "Your spending limit is clearly printed on your contract with Sprint" part.

  21. Re:And? on SSN Required To Buy Palm Pre · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...with absolutely no limits due to being able to rack up hours and hours calling "premium" numbers...

    That sounds like a technical problem that can be easily solved by the cell provider. I can find out how many minutes I've used as of right now, why would it be so difficult to restrict access to premium numbers based on the account type?

  22. Re:Abuse on Google Voice Grabs 1 Million Phone Numbers · · Score: 1

    I would imagine it's like any other opt-in membership. You provide an email address, they send an email, you reply. Except you give the number to google, they give you a pin, then you make a call from that number to the Google line punch in the PIN. ???

    I know that a truck is similar to a car, but for the ease of understanding, please only analogize using cars.

  25. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 1

    just tell them you don't have one? there's a lot of people here with cell phones and no SSNs... I'd be interested in hearing how that goes though. :)
