  1. I have a better idea on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 1

    Get these people, we will call them police, to patrol where these accidents occur and give tickets to people who behave recklessly. That way the people who get the ticket cannot weasel out of it by saying the automated system is not reliable and is just being used to make money and if there is an actual problem these "police" can be there to help!

  2. why bother with consoles at all, just get a PC on PS3 Hacked via USB Dongle · · Score: -1, Troll

    all the crap that consoles bring with them makes me wonder why people bother with them at all. Games are stale from the limited hardware, and it looks like consoles are finally dying.

  3. Without Net Neutrality it is not a problem on Google's CEO Warns Kids Will Have to Change Names to Escape "Cyber Past" · · Score: 2, Funny

    If Net Neutrality is not preserved then it won't matter. The internet will be fragmented and so will the information on it.

  4. Re:Bet this guy was VERY exceptional on ISP Owner Who Fought FBI Spying Freed From Gag Order · · Score: 1

    except for the patriot act that allows spying with no judge over sight. The patriot act not patriotic.

  5. NYT has a interest in less internet usage on Google and Verizon In Talks To Prioritize Traffic (Updated) · · Score: 1

    maybe the NYT is really part of the story here.

  6. VoIP and asterisk on Vonage Makes Free Facebook Phone Call App · · Score: 1

    if your inclined to tinker and think $24 per month is a rip off and would rather pay $0.02 per minute.

  7. Re:Switching lanes on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 0

    and what if a car hits this elevated bus, which seems a lot more likely than conventional rail. It is not like a regular bus and all the buses would be affected.

  8. The US paid for most of the internet in America on Does Net Neutrality Violate the Fifth Amendment? · · Score: 1

    It is not really the property of the telcos, it already belongs to the American People. Problem solved. And Net Neutrality is not about changing anything, it is to prevent a corporate take over of the internet. Net Neutrality is to keep the status quo.

  9. Re:public safety should never be a revenue source on Tennessee Town Releases Red Light Camera Stats · · Score: 1

    they can want that, but it does not make it any less a violation of your Constitutional Rights.

  10. public safety should never be a revenue source on Tennessee Town Releases Red Light Camera Stats · · Score: 1

    and you have the right to face your accuser so you can get out of these tickets pretty easily. If everyone would start to fight them in court the amount of money to run them at a loss would get rid of them pretty quickly.

  11. microsoft needs to stop being marketing driven on Microsoft Should Dump Middlemen, Build Own Phones · · Score: 1

    the real problem is microsoft is a marketing driven company that is trying to squeeze a nickel out of and make everyone else happy except the person actually using the phone. If they would just concentrate on the end Customer and quit trying to make the all these other groups happy that have no other agenda, but to degrade the phone (with drm, etc) they would be more successful.

  12. Re:It boils down to this on Electronic Arts, THQ Look To Microtransactions · · Score: 1

    this is the same problem as DRM. Business want to earn big profits, but have taken their eye off of making their Customers happy. You can really understand this as many of these businesses are completely mystified why Valve's Steam is so popular when it is very clearly providing services that Customers want.

  13. Re:it is kindof strange on Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    regulation of ISPs to prevent them implementing policies that limit how data flows on the internet is not really that big a concept to understand.

  14. Net Neutrality is to keep status quo on Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    One of the first things people need to understand about Net Neutrality is that it is to keep the internet like it is today and prevent a corporate take over of the internet. If you hate convoluted phone bills and crap cable tv plans then you support Net Neutrality.

  15. console gaming is dying on PC Gamers Too Good For Consoles Gamers? · · Score: 1

    Stale hardware leads to stale (and non-competitive) games. Companies are starting to realize it.

  16. Re:Egos don't scale on The Scalability of Linus · · Score: 1

    read Mythical Man Month. If you do you will discover that most successful software projects have one central strong lead. An analogy would be if you are having surgery would you want 5 surgeons in charge of it, all with different opinions and arguing while you are on the table on how to do it?

  17. Re:Government is worse... on GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    you must not have a phone or cable tv.

  18. ironic Net Neutrality prevents a corp takeover on GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    and keeps the internet like it is today.

  19. Re:DLC gets pirated too on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    Value went the make their Customers happy route with Team Fortress 2 and the game is still selling today.

  20. Re:No. on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    there is also a problem with perception. There were great sales with the Humble Indie Bundle (over $1 million in sales). If like the riaa you think that every copy out there would have been purchased if there was no other way to obtain it, that is just stupid. Many people are not going to buy it no matter what even if they can get it no other way.

  21. Re:Isn't this just DRM in little pieces? on DRM vs. Unfinished Games · · Score: 1

    You like Steam because it is a service that does things you want, not because of DRM

  22. riaaradar.com on RIAA Paid $16M+ In Legal Fees To Collect $391K · · Score: 5, Informative

    the companies that support the riaa just want money so make sure you check riaaradar.com to make sure the music you buy does not help a company that supports the riaa. While they continue to waste their money on lawyers stick it to them one lost sell at a time.

  23. Re:Boycott on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 1

    purchase music, just check riaaradrar.com first to avoid any money going to companies that support the riaa

  24. Re:Anyone who is stupid enough to work with the RI on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 0, Redundant

    radio is becoming increasingly irrelevant thanks to the internet

  25. Re:Ok, this is stupid on Chinese Company Seeks US Workers With 125 IQ · · Score: 1

    and most important, IQ does not consider if they get stuff done.
