  1. Is that so? on Officials: NSA's PRISM Targets Email Addresses, Not Keywords · · Score: 1

    We totally believe you. Why would you lie to us?

  2. Re:Funny on PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse · · Score: 1

    None of those players were innocents. Right from the start every one of those players is killing innocent rats or snakes or wild dogs that didn't do anything to anyone. Then selling their body parts off as trophies.

  3. Re:Funny on PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse · · Score: 1

    Doesn't sound as funny as their parody of Cooking Mama. Here they kind of have a point, pokemon is basically wandering around engaging in pick-up dog-fights.

  4. Re:Post bigotry here on US House Science Committee Member: Evolution Is a Lie From Hell · · Score: 1

    God just put all the evidence supporting evolution and the billions of years old universe there to mess with us. He's really quite a jerk.

  5. Re:Whats the problem? on SpaceX Launch Not So Perfect After All · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just because you have a backup plan, and it works, doesn't mean the launch was perfect.

  6. Re:Distance remains the same? on Astronomers Fix the Astronomical Unit · · Score: 1

    The center of mass of the Earth-Sun is at the focus (1 of 2), not the center of the ellipse.

  7. Recall? on Motorola Ordered To Recall Android Phones and Tablets In Germany · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be better to get them to push an update that disabled the scrolling? A recall would get back devices still at the retailers, but I doubt people who already own one will be returning them voluntarily,

  8. Re:Popular vote on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 1

    Is the Science channel still showing more Science Fiction than SyFy?

  9. Re:Popular vote on DHS Gets Public Comment, Whether It Wants It Or Not · · Score: 2

    They got tired of being the Word War II network and decided instead they wanted to be the ghosts & aliens channel.

  10. Re:Why!? on Rick Falkvinge On Child Porn and Freedom Of the Press · · Score: 1

    I cannot think of anything worse than someone having Child porn

    Certainly actually molesting the child is worse than having a video of that act.

  11. Re:So why can't they swab bottles 3oz on TSA Says Screening Drinks Purchased Inside Airport Terminal Is Nothing New · · Score: 1

    So fill yourself a big full of 3oz bottles of soda, and fill your cup with that.

  12. We're sorry. on Nokia Apologizes For Misleading Lumia 920 Ad · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We're very deeply sorry that we got caught. We did not intend anyone to know about this deception. In the future, we promise to do a better job at hiding our dishonest activities so that we do not get caught again.

  13. Re:There's a shock... on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    This one? Yes it does. They'll hurt less than the bullets, though.

  14. Re:There's a shock... on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    I've got a bullet-proof vest for you here. I'm going to start shooting at you whether you put it on or not. It's not guaranteed to save you (I may hit you in the head), but it's up to you.

    Personally, I'd rather take the potential immunity (even if it's only an 80% chance) than go completely without

  15. Re:Vaccines should be mandatory. on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    So if protection is not 100% effective we should consider it worthless?

  16. Re:Vaccines should be mandatory. on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    If you have a healthy immune system. If you don't there's a good chance you end up dead.

  17. Re:They're stupid on Study Finds Unvaccinated Students Putting Other Students At Risk · · Score: 1

    I'm sure research done in someone's spare time, by someone without a medical education is FAR more effective than that of all the medical professionals who are suggesting that AC get these vaccinations done.

  18. Re:useless aspect ratio on Sources Say ITU Has Approved Ultra-High Definition TV Standard · · Score: 1

    I like to have two or three terminal windows displayed side-by-side. Wider monitors help with that.

    And most pdf readers have a zoom function, change the zoom until you see the whole page at once. I'm not sure how the unused space makes the monitor USELESS.

  19. Great on Sources Say ITU Has Approved Ultra-High Definition TV Standard · · Score: 2

    Now throw out those old TVs in crappy old 3D HD and buy NEW TVs in UltraHD!! And now that cable companies have started giving out HD programming for free, rather than charge extra they get the option to charge for UltraHD content instead. Great for everyone!

    Oh, and if you sit at home and look at your TV screen with a microscope, I guess you can see a little more detail now.

  20. Re:DRM worked out then.. on Ubisoft Claims PC Piracy Rate of 93-95% · · Score: 2

    Or even just driving the legitimate buyers away. They may not turn to piracy, but if 50% of your paying players leave (and go buy someone else's game instead), that drives up the proportion of your players who are pirates.

  21. The difference on Are 12-16 Hour Workdays Productive? · · Score: 3, Informative

    “Do you know the difference between a good place to work and a bad place to work?”

    Well for one, in a bad place to work you're expected to be in the office for 12-16 hours a day.

  22. Put it on the disc... on Some Players Want Day-1 DLC, Says BioWare · · Score: 1

    If you have players complaining that they finished the game too quickly, maybe you should have included more content on the disc...

  23. Re:The "war" on religion on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 1

    Ok, I guess you think schools should also drop history and geography and current events. Has no effect on your job, so useless to you. Depending on what your job is, they should drop the literature parts of English class, and maybe Science (or even Math). Art and music classes of course have to go, and phys-ed too.

  24. Re:2,684 years ago??? on Exceptionally Preserved 2,600-Year-Old Brain Found · · Score: 1

    No, I'll stick with my "God's just a big practical joker" theory. That whole dinosaur thing still cracks him up.

  25. Re:The "war" on religion on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 1

    God may not exist. But religion has been EXTREMELY influential on history and modern culture. You do yourself a great disservice if you refuse to learn about religions just because you don't believe in God.
