  1. Re:Semi agree on Australian Police Move To Make 3D Printed Guns Illegal · · Score: 1

    Why?

  2. Re:Make metal ilegal too... on Australian Police Move To Make 3D Printed Guns Illegal · · Score: 1

    I see a problem with the democratically elected lawmakers banning anything in the first place. That decision should be made by no one.

  3. Re:Or on Uptick In Whooping Cough Linked To Subpar Vaccines · · Score: 2

    Wrong. Here is data straight from the CDC website last updated in 2011. http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/additives.htm
    They DO put MSG in vaccines, and many other nasties I didn't even mention like Formaldehyde. And mercury is still in there. Mod me as flamebait cause you disagree with hard facts, I don't care I got karma to burn.

  4. Re:Or on Uptick In Whooping Cough Linked To Subpar Vaccines · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    haha, I knew that would get me a troll. but seriously, even if they work at all, its not worth the risk of the poisons they put in them (mercury, msg, etc).

  5. Or on Uptick In Whooping Cough Linked To Subpar Vaccines · · Score: -1, Troll

    Or, maybe vaccines aren't effective period. Just a thought.

  6. This is retarded. on DRM In HTML5 — Better Than the Alternative? · · Score: 1

    Have they not learned that DRM only hurts the honest people? The pirates will get their crappy content anyways. Just use normal regular video, and trust people. You will get a lot more profits in the long run.

  7. Re:good on Microsoft Prepares Rethink On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    ya I know. and I hate the hot corner. I have to fiddle around to get it to popup. Very frustrating.

  8. good on Microsoft Prepares Rethink On Windows 8 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Personally, I went back to Windows 7 because I didn't like the constant switching / start screen. I shouldn't have to install a separate app to get the start button back. Give us an option for tablet or desktop mode.

    If voting made a difference, it would be illegal.

  10. Re:I predict 3D printing on The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired · · Score: 1

    Its closed-minded to think the design cannot be improved to the point where its completely reliable. People thought the same things when glock made a plastic lower. I for one am excited and hopeful about where this leads.

  11. Re:New Coke was a Flop? on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    Wow, I never realized that. So new coke was just a decoy so they could modify classic coke to use cheaper corn syrup? Interesting.

  12. Quality? on YouTube To Offer Subscription Service This Week · · Score: 1

    Lately, most youtube video do not properly play on my high speed FIOS connection. Most wont even start, or if they do if fail to buffer along the way, even at 240p. And the worst is when the video does play, many now have LONG ads within them. I'm talking like 2 and a half minutes. Ok MAYBE I'll sit through a half minute, but longer than that is not gonna work. Why would I pay for this?

  13. Re:If Your Employer Owns Your Cellphone, They Own on Most Companies Will Require You To Bring Your Own Mobile Device By 2017 · · Score: 1

    Simple solution here. Buy a second phone for work, and only use it for that. You real phone has all your personal stuff.

  14. Who didnt? on Alaskan Middle Schoolers Phish Their Teachers · · Score: 1

    Lol, we did this too in high school. Mostly so we could set up doom2 and lan play. With Novell netware, there was a peek utility where I could spy/control any students session. Had a lot of fun with that. Funny story: We had a final project in programming class to draw a picture with qbasic graphics commands. I wrote a program to just draw with the mouse, and it generated the circle, point, line, etc code. I gave it to my friend that struggled in the class. He made the most beautiful detailed picture for his end project. The teacher didn't believe that he made it. So he said "ok adam, go write a program right now to draw a simple circle". So I logged in on a machine and made the program and saved it to adam's directory. I forget how I signaled for him to load it, but he did and the teacher got off his back. Adam passed the class. Good times.

    The real message I hear the FBI telling everyone is: Encrypt the shit outta everything now cause we're gonna be listenin.

  17. Re:I can slack off anywhere on The Data That Drove Yahoo's Telecommuting Ban · · Score: 1

    Actually, it probably wouldn't be that bad. If you could get a microcontroller to control the toaster functions, all you would have to do is build simple web interface to open a tcp session to the toaster and let the web app work the functions. It could probably be done in less than 5 days.

  18. Re:This is really simple. on Xbox 720 Could Require Always-On Connection, Lock Out Used Games · · Score: 1

    You make a good point cause the attraction of consoles are the instant playability and simple use rather than the complex configuration often required with PC games. Now, with system updates, and game updates, and requiring an internet connection, downloadable content, optional accessories, etc, consoles are about as complex as PCs. Start requiring always on bullcrap (so they can spy on you I'm sure), and DRm-tying games to consoles, and other crap, then I'm not even buying the next console. I'll go back to souping up my PC, downloading the warez version to kill drm/rootkits, and enjoy PC games again.

    Except that the states had a right to secede from the union. The "war" was illegal and unjustified, just like this "war on terror".

    Uh because that's generally impractical. You could build a longer mag but why? They do make 100 round drums, but they weigh you down and jam a lot.

    Who defines what a "nutcase" is? The newly released DSMV now lists every human emotion as a mental illness. Don't like that guy cause he has a ron paul bumper sticker? Label him as crazy. Bam, no more gum for you. No, the 2nd amendment is to empower the people against tyranny. Get rid of the 2nd amendment, and you open the floodgates of tyranny and the country is already descending there. The people have the power, not the government. Do not forget that. Oh wait...too late.

    Do these set top boxes have microphones now??? If so, I'm opening mine up and cutting the connection to it. Theres no way I'm allowing the possibility of anyone listening in to my home. You know eventually this will certainly be abused.

    Ok. Great idea! And if you don't want to carry around the actual metal, you can keep with a company that secures it, and allows you to write "receipts" to others to transfer some of it to another person.
