  1. Annnnnd.... on UN Summit Strikes Climate Deal Promising "Damage Aid" To Poor Nations · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is why people think climate change is just a huge scam masquerading as an environmental cause.

  2. Re:How come... on Strong Climate Change Opinions Are Self-Reinforcing · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The ad hominem attacks aren't necessary, but typical of unskeptical-science types.

  3. How come... on Strong Climate Change Opinions Are Self-Reinforcing · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ....when it's extremely cold in the winter, scientists say thats just normal weather, but when it's extremely hot in the summer, it's global warming?

  4. Re:Despicable on School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy · · Score: 2

    How would the child that age be sent home? Walking? Obviously the parents had to be contacted. I'm sure they were told something.

  5. Re:Pasteurization on New Superbug Strain Found In Cows and People · · Score: 1

    Why even drink the milk from another animal? There are many alternatives that aren't full of growth-hormones such as soy and almond.

  6. Re:zero on Alabama Nuclear Reactor Gets 'F' Grade · · Score: 1

    Their bodies were found Wednesday and required work to remove radioactive materials from them, the utility said. The plant is continuing to release high-level radiation in Japan's worst ever nuclear crisis.

  7. Very easy answer on Do Tools Ever 'Die?' · · Score: 5, Informative

    The shoe-fitting fluoroscope.

    Basically a box that you put your feet into where x-rays are fired upon your feet and you can look into the viewing ports on the top and see the bones in your feet for the purpose of getting correctly sized shoes.

    It was used during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and was subsequently discontinued after employees experienced radiation burns from the constant exposure.

  8. Well..... on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not if you buy a used hybrid.

  9. Re:Here's your roundup on iPhone 4 News Roundup · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If the industry follows suit then that's what the market is demanding. It sucks that the idea of an open platform isn't what people want, but that's the way economies work.

  10. Re:Multitasking as defined by Apple on What iOS 4 Does (and Doesn't Do) For Business · · Score: 1

    Yes, the apps will do those things that you listed, but only if the developer enables them on the apps and pushes out an update. As of the launch of iOS 4.0 yesterday, there are very few apps that take advantage of those features.

  11. Nalgene on BPA Leaches From Polycarbonate Bottles Into Humans · · Score: 5, Informative

    Nalgene, one of, if not the biggest producers of the 'indestructable' plastic bottles with BPA, still does not acknowledge the health detriments even though they stopped producing those bottles. Probably because of liability reasons... http://www.nalgene-outdoor.com/technical/bpaInfo.html

  12. Satisfaction on AT&T Vs. Apple Store At the iPhone Launch · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm not sure what market everyone else was in, but in my small Tennessee town, it couldn't have been a smoother purchase. I walked into the AT&T store Saturday afternoon at 3:30pm, they had 4 8gb, 4 4gb iPhones in-stock. I needed to transfer my number form my dad's account (I've been paying the bill for the last 2 years) and possibly pay a deposit for a new contract under my name with my old number. It took me about 15 minutes on the phone with a transfer rep. and less than 5 minutes to confirm everything was correct (with no deposit) to get in and out. Got home, activated the phone in about 5 minutes; everything works perfectly with my new awesome phone. They couldn't have been more helpful at the AT&T store; looks like a case of YMMV.

  13. Re:NBC = bad track record on NBC, News Corp Join to Create YouTube Clone · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course it's going to be lagged if you're waiting for Lost on NBC.com, Lost is an ABC show.

  14. The Worst Part... on An Interview with a Cheater · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The worst part of cheating is that it forever creates doubt, mistrust and skepticism about the skills of others online, meaning that if you play well, you are labeled a cheater. Respect goes out the window.

  15. Re:So let me get this straight... on AP Looks at Piracy, Misses the Point · · Score: 1

    >>Music that is cut off at the end, has 30 sec of music followed by static, plays half way through then >>stops due to a bad bit rate change, etc. Sure you can download music but it is in no way PRISTINE!

    You're getting it from the wrong places then.

  16. Anyone Remember... on Quake is 10 · · Score: 1, Informative

    Anyone remember the shareware cd that had all the id Software games on it? And how it was possible to use a serial # to unlock all those games?

  17. Salute EA on EA's Army of Two · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sounds like they're trying to one-up the US Army.

  18. Re:Go to a doctor. on How Do You Deal with Depression Around Christmas? · · Score: 2

    Just wait till you want to quit. You're in for one hell of a ride.

  19. Money Issue on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    What kind of budget does Discovery Channel provide you to work with and have any of your mythbusts gone over budget?

  20. I'd Like To Thank.... on PlayStation Earns An Emmy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sega: For releasing the Saturn early, without a proper launch, at a huge price and with few games.

    Nintendo: For endlessly delaying the underpowered N64 while we gained the majority of the market.

    ...oh...and Satan.

  21. Nice One. on Video iPod May Arrive in September · · Score: 1

    Can't wait to watch movie trailers on my iPod. How much are the actual movies?

  22. Re:Sick of gmail on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: 1

    You're just mad because no one invited you. =)

  23. Too much typing... on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    Why not just type iwnfoin@dsnos.com? or osifno@oisdnfoiwn.net? or iii@iii.com?

  24. Re:Overall total? on The RIAA Sues 482 More People · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pirates are such nice people. =)

  25. Software, Not Hardware on Nintendo's Iwata - Innovate or Die · · Score: 0, Troll

    Nintendo should be innovating on their software rather than their hardware.

    How many more times are gamers going to tolerate Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Donkey Kong sequels before giving up on those tired franchises?
