  1. Germans vs Americans on German Robot Dogs Dominate 2005 RoboCup U.S. Open · · Score: 1

    Before anything else is judged, know that the Germans put a lot more time and effort into programming the AIBO dogs.

  2. Re:admission of guilt? on FreeBSD 5.4 Released · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No it shows you are an idiot or a troll.

  3. Re:Hi there on Tracking Sex Offenders via GPS for Life · · Score: 1

    And your point is?

  4. Re:I disagree! on High-Speed Trains in the US? · · Score: 1

    I understand the alternatives and about land use, etc.

    I also understand that your redneck stereo-type everybody is the south is stupid has nothing to with these problems.

    And while I understand why urban sprawl exists, I would put most of the blame and retirees and married with children folks.

    On a different note I have my theory on the reasons urban sprawl exists(safety), do you know the professional consensus?

  5. Re:I disagree! on High-Speed Trains in the US? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the biggest problem we have in the US is an anti-socialist mentality in high growth areas like the southeast. Red-state rednecks like their trucks, and don't want no gub'mint tellin' 'em what ta do.

    Talk about stupid. You show yours with your cliche filled statement.

    The southeast is mostly suburbs and country side. Except for the few large cities it simple doesn't make sense. This is why peole don't take trains.

    Where people live and work is very scattered, not something a train is good at dealing with, but guess what? A car is.

    I know very few people who would benefit from a mass transit system.

    i.e. most people I know have less than 10 mile commutes(with little traffic), I live in knoxville. Mine is 6 miles through the country side.

  6. Re:Hmm on Go Daddy Usurps Network Solutions · · Score: 1

    I picked GoDaddy about 3 weeks before the superbowl ad.

    If I would have seen the ad I probably would have _not_ chosen them.

    Though for the small website I want to run, php, 1 mysql database, $40 some dollar including domain name, a year is hard to beat.

  7. Re:Stallman is a whackjob on RMS Weighs in on BitKeeper Debacle · · Score: 1

    What's not on there? How about the counterpunch crap?

    That alone speaks volumes.

  8. Re:I personally think this is their best idea so f on To Pay With Your Credit Card, Please Speak Up · · Score: 1

    Yes, but how much is her credit cards jacked up?

  9. Related on MS: Beta Software Good Enough for Production Use · · Score: 1

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/getthebetas/country/

    For a beta version of visual studio.

  10. Re:google & area 51 on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    Of cource I can't zoom in on my mom's house either.

  11. Re:What utter nonsense. on Does Adblock Violate A Social Contract? · · Score: 1

    You agreed to obnoxious pop ups by going to their
    website.

    Or at least going back to the web site.

    Maybe.

  12. Re:Conservation of Energy on Earth on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 1

    No, because the changes are probably so minute it doesn't matter. But when would it matter.

  13. Re:The server is as quick as... on UN Food Programme Releases Game · · Score: 0

    Is it corrupt too?

  14. Re:Conservation of Energy on Earth on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 1

    Ok you went way overboard with the numbers since I pulled them out of the air.

    My question is really at what point would movement of tonnage from earth to the moon start having a noticable effect(tides, rotation, etc).

  15. Re:Conservation of Energy on Earth on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 1

    That much?

    I almost mentioned that but figured the size would be much smaller.

  16. Re:AOE3 more accurate than the reviewer's view of on Revisionist History in Age of Empires · · Score: 1

    I remember reading something about the Indians that lived in the Grand Canyon during the time the Eurpoeans came over.

    It was something like the Indians "displaced" a other Indian tribe in the 1400s, and then the Europeans "murdered" them in the 1800s or something like that.

    They never defined displaced but I think it was the same thing the europeans did.

  17. Re:Conservation of Energy on Earth on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 1

    Actually I thought it was a relevant question.

    If %.01 of the earth weight went to the moon
    (ok i know it still alot) what effect would that have?

    Though earth is not a closed system as we get the sun's energy everyday.

  18. Re:Everybody uses defacto standards on Naturally Occurring Standards · · Score: 1

    And why did it get into grammer books?

    Did some commitee get together or did it become a defacto standard before these books where written?

  19. Everybody uses defacto standards on Naturally Occurring Standards · · Score: 1

    Should you use such informal standards, or ignore them?

    Like using a '?' to end a sentence?

  20. Re:I'm not fine wirh it on Linus Defends Proprietary File Formats [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Should all food recipes but open?
    Drug recipes?
    Production techniques?
    How to make certain plastics like Lexan?

    The list goes on.

    This is a serious question.

  21. True Cost on Brainshare Reports: NLD 10, Novell's Linux Switch · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I am not against moving away from MS.

    But how much time($$) was spent moving to Linux?
    Was any training needed to move to Linux?

    There is alot more than just license fees.

  22. Re:It's as if icons peaked 2-4 years ago on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    Make your own toolbar. Seriously.
    You can even put words by the icons.

  23. Secure on Build Your Own Cell tower · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any idea about the security of these things?

    They are dweebs for not trying.

  25. Re:Prolly get modded for redundant... on Juiced · · Score: 1

    You know what the worst thing about dweebs playing dodgeball or any other sport was?

    The fact that they they don't try.

    They just sit and whine and then make fun of the less intelligent in math class ... or on slashdot.
