  1. These systems are not what you think on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These systems are put in place to profit from a problem, or a perceived problem, or an invented problem, not to solve the problem.

  2. High speed rail? on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 0

    Why not high speed cars? Or high speed motorcycles? The fastest way, point to point, by land is motorcycle.

  3. All I can say is... on Why Recordings From World War I Aren't Public Domain · · Score: 1

    "Oh the Humanity!" ©

  4. How Original on Microsoft Should Dump Middlemen, Build Own Phones · · Score: 1

    Seriously, how original. Let's look to Apple to see what else Microsoft should do.

  5. Re:It does "simply work" on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 1

    iTunes is basically Apple's ambassador to Windows users, (along with proselytizing Mac users, of course), both of which are terribly annoying.

  6. Prince, "Internet is over." on Prince Says Internet Is Over · · Score: 1

    Internet, "Prince is over."

  7. Re:Dr. Joshua Wurman.... on Tornado Scientists Butt Heads With Storm Chasers · · Score: 1

    Most of the seasons Dr Josh Wurman could not find a tornado. If I was to see Josh's doppler on wheels, I would follow it, and be confident I wouldn't get anywhere near a tornado.

  8. Sure... on Time For Universal Data Plans? · · Score: 1

    It's like going to the "all you can eat" buffet, and getting yourself two orders.

  9. China is Correct on China Rejects US Piracy Claims As "Groundless" · · Score: 1

    Somalia has more piracy. Anyone in international shipping will tell you.

  10. Re:... Hear no evil. See no evil. on Giant Plumes of Oil Forming Below the Gulf's Surface · · Score: 1

    BP corporation only considers this to be a disaster because profits are being wasted into the sea.

  11. Re:Is this a joke? on Bill Gates Funds Seawater-Spraying Cloud Machines · · Score: 1

    That would not be done with petroleum based fueled engines would it? That would release CO2. They plan on using magic pixie dust right?

  12. Re:$7 billion is peanuts to stop global warming on Bill Gates Funds Seawater-Spraying Cloud Machines · · Score: 1

    What fuel will all these ships run from? Diesel?

  13. So they "lost" "money" that may not even exist? on BSA Says Software Theft Exceeded $51B In 2009 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Fascinating!

  14. Better Use of Technology on First Superbugs, Now Superweeds · · Score: 1

    Why not engineer better crops through selective breeding in this manner, rather than breed better weeds?
    Find stuff that kills crops and keep killing them until only the strong survive.
    It seems like what they know about this process is that they're doing it backwards and they don't realize it.
    So smart they're stupid.

  15. Re:Getting scary on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    It's not a religion, it's a cult.

  16. Did NASA know about this? on Meteor Spotted Yesterday Over Midwestern United States · · Score: 1

    Seriously, is this something NASA knows about?
    If not, why not?
    They should be able to give us a heads up about anything that enters our atmosphere from space so it can be tracked/viewed/enjoyed etc.
    I'm sure the science on the shuttles are valuable, but what about stuff that's flying at our planet, and I don't just mean the belt of pollution in earth's orbit consisting of dangerous (to the space station/satellites etc) space trash.
    Or is this stuff too fast/small/frequent/random to track?

  17. Now they're just being humorless shitheads on Apple Blocks Cartoonist From App Store · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for the Steve Jobs cartoon.

  18. Re:Age on How Many Hours a Week Can You Program? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You were lucky. I worked for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. I used to have to get to work at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, work fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when I missed deadlines my boss would thrash me his belt.

  19. Re:You're Not Like Me Nor Are You Stealing on How Many Hours a Week Can You Program? · · Score: 1

    Trendy Open European-Style Office? Oh, we used to dream of working in a Trendy Open European-Style Office! Would have been a palace to us. We used to work in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got breakfast every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! Office? Huh.

  20. Why the hell... on WePad Tablet Will Use Linux To Rival the iPad · · Score: 1

    Why in the hell does everyone come up with a copycat device, every time Apple develops a new gadget?
    If I hear the phrase "iPad killer" I will be bored to tears by the poor marketing and lack of ingenuity of all these copycats.

  21. Re:The other reason Murdoch likes the iPad... on Rupert Murdoch Hates Google, Loves the iPad · · Score: 1, Troll

    I have no problem with right wing zealots paying more for the WSJ, New York Post, Fox News or any other sources Rupert Murdock right wing media.

  22. Re:The Real Issue on Amazon Caves To Publishers On eBook Pricing · · Score: 1

    You should have corrected him with the after sales tax price. The bottom line cost to you.

  23. Re:I think expectations are too high... on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 1

    How many stupid squabbles would end?
    None.
    How many stupid squabbles would begin?
    As many as there are space creatures.
    You think mankind will stop being stupid just because he's discovered life beyond planet Earth?
    Based on reality, I can make a long list of stupid mankind scenarios.

  24. There's nothing out there... on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 1

    We're all alone.
    It would be better for mankind to believe this, that way, he'll take better care of the planet and one another, and all species on earth, which should all be viewed as irreplaceable.
    It's time to scrap the deluded notion that we can destroy earth's habitability, and move to another place with all our cows, pigs, chickens,crops, etc.
    Get over it, and take care of Earth.
    Of course the folly of mankind and other species follows predictable patterns.
    We will slowly overpopulate, and destroy our ecosystem with toxins and radiation.
    I accept this as inevitable.

  25. The insurance/medical industry is... on Lessons of a $618,616 Death · · Score: 1

    The insurance/medical industry is to the terminally ill, as a pride of lions is to a weak antelope.
    they survive and thrive by devouring you.
