  1. Re:Persective on Fukushima: What Happened and What Needs To Be Done · · Score: 2

    you cannot keep killing people slowly with coal and oil if there is a replacement so it was an opportunity to try and demonize it even though statics show it is safer on average.

  2. this is a classic problem on The End of Content Ownership · · Score: 2

    separating content from the application is the best design as you can improve the application. Look at all the different programs and innovations that happened with the mp3 file format. Now when you get vendor lock-in formats or only streaming you don't get any of this innovation.

  3. he thinks a police state is a good thing? on NYPD Anti-Terrorism Cameras Used For Much More · · Score: 1

    Nothing is forcing him to live in the US founded on the premise that all Men are Free.

  4. cannot happen fast enough on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 3, Insightful

    the current music and film system stifles good music and films. The sooner this system dies the better.

  5. the US just had massive budget cuts on US Navy Close To On-Ship Laser Cannons · · Score: 2

    this unneeded laser program should have been one of the first things cut.

  6. special treatment of politicians needs to end on Threatening YouTube Video Lands Man In Prison · · Score: 2

    government shuts down, they still get paid. Nobody can afford health insurance, but they get theirs for free at US Taxpayer expense. Regular people get threatened all the time, nothing happens.

  7. Re:cutting deficiet should be simple on No U.S. Government Shutdown This Week · · Score: 2

    wow, no cuts to the military? Your assessment is ridiculous. You don't fight wars shooting goat herders in Afghanistan and Iraq when you cannot afford it.

  8. Re:how did net neutral equate to fairness doctrine on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    conservatives get big donations from Big Telecom and they also view it as a way to limit opposition by stifuling the internet. Funny that a lot of their own ability to effectively message to their nutjob supporters will be impacted if they are successful.

  9. Re:I don't understand. on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    it is not the telecoms internet to begin with. Big Telecoms were given huge subsidies to build parts of the infrastructure and now they want to pretend that it is their and they can screw all the businesses that use if for their limited benefit.

  10. Home Theater Master MX-500 Universal remote on XBMC Gets a Dedicated Remote · · Score: 1

    love it. Been using it for years with a MythTV and other devices (bluray player, etc) and have not found anything I have liked better as far as macros, remote learning, and button feel. Only thing I have really wanted is to be able to do RF as well for a dish network receiver, but have not found anything that will do both IR and RF.

  11. Re:The cost of nuclear on Crack In Fukushima Structure May Be Leaking Radiation · · Score: 1

    maybe you forgot the BP spil in the Gulf of Mexico. Or the smog over cities like Los Angeles and Mexico City. Then there are the wars fought in the name of oil in Iraq and Libya. On the scale of power needed nuclear is still better than oil and coal.

  12. Re:my old style tablet is better on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 1

    as a lot of people, I have big fingers so the keyboard is much better than a touch screen.

  13. my old style tablet is better on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 1

    it is portable and even has a full keyboard. It is a clamshell design and it protects the screen when you close it.

  14. Re:No!!! on Things Get Worse at Fukushima · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the oil and coal lobby certainly want you to fear nuclear so the can continue to kill you slowly with coal plants that emit radiation and smog. Oh, and the wars for foreign oil.

  15. Re:Boycott Sony! on Geohot Battles Back Against Sony · · Score: 1

    Just get a Gaming PC and ditch this console crap from all of these guys.

  16. Re:What do you want? on US Competitiveness Chief Immelt's GE Tax Bill: $0 · · Score: 1

    incentives to do something is different from paying no taxes at all. Really makes me question why individuals have to pay taxes if corporations don't.

  17. Re:The Point? on MS Removes HTTPS From Hotmail For Troubled Nations · · Score: 1

    actually, this sounds like a reason not to buy anything from microsoft.

  18. Coal power plants emit more radiation than nuclear on Fukushima Radioactive Fallout Nears Chernobyl Levels · · Score: 2

    how about a comparison of how much radiation a coal power plant is emitting compared to a nuclear power plant.

  19. Re:I smell RIAA trolls today... on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 2

    notice they did not see they saw the same increase in music sales. The lawsuits don't work.

  20. I stopped buying riaa music all together on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    if I cannot get it directly from the musician or for free I don't buy it. The website http://riaaradar.com/ helps figure out if the band is worth buying.

  21. Re:Dumb question... on A New Class of Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    the brief version is a 40 year old plant was hit by a once in a 1000 year tsunami.

  22. Re:Doesn't Matter on A New Class of Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    that is the coal and oil lobby exploiting irrational fears to keep killing people with things like the Iraq war, mountain top removal, smog, and Gulf of Mexico oil spills.

  23. Re:Dear Microsoft.... on Microsoft Continues Android Legal Assault · · Score: 1

    it already has. They just are still in shock.

  24. microsoft is saying win7 mobile is not as good on Microsoft Continues Android Legal Assault · · Score: 2, Insightful

    makes me want to buy an Android Phone even more if they think theirs cannot even compete in the marketplace.

  25. Re:No secret I want to see it on The Hobbit Finally Starts Shooting · · Score: 1

    space nascar does that to the first prequel star wars film. Not good though.
