  1. Re:Price on Samsung's Galaxy Tab Android Tablet Now Official · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With a much smaller screen (7" vs 9.7") it had better be much cheaper, like half the price of the ipad.

  2. Re:Should they get off tax-free? on AU Senator Calls Scientology a "Criminal Organization" · · Score: 1

    An alternative would be to have a flat income tax rate after a certain base income. So, for example, if the base rate is $10,000, and the tax rate is 10%, then for every dollar above that base rate, you pay 10%. If you make $10,000, you pay no tax. If you make $10,001, you pay $0.10 in tax. In addition, no taxes on unprepared foods, utilities (water, hydro, gas, phone(?)). I think a simpler system with fewer/no loopholes would fix a lot of things. It would be harder to cheat, easier to calculate, just, better over all.

  3. Re:Sounds fine to me on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    Typical Bible thumper. Full of hate. Make us Christians look bad.

  4. Re:This happens everywhere on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    I for one think this should be in schools. If only to give the kids something to laugh at. Let them pick it apart and see how it fails on scientific grounds.

  5. Re: Fighting Words are legal grounds on Newt Gingrich Says Free Speech May Be Forfeit · · Score: 1

    Here is a link to an artical about "Fighting Words", in case anyone is interested: Fighting Words

    True, but it's hard to compete with free...

  7. Attn: Will!! True20 and Mutants and Masterminds on Wil Wheaton's GenCon SoCal Recap · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Seriously! Best system(s) you can use. All my players (not hard-core gamers) love the system. Try it! Hell, I'm sure Green Ronin would be happy to provide you with a review copy.

  8. Re:I have you both beat! on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 1

    I have been Zinged! My hat is off to you sir/madam. :)

  9. I have you both beat! on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 1

    I ans my wife read /. AND I have a son!! I'm like a God!!

  10. Re:Norton Internet Shakedown 1.0 on Demo Virus For Mac OS X Released · · Score: 1

    So, it was always released on purpose?

  11. Re:it's all about TV ads and Google PC on Google's Growing Love For the Mac · · Score: 1

    A cut down mac-mini (fewer/no options/ports), with a version of MacOS and software that was streamlined just for this hardware. Connect it to a TV and it would be perfect for mom. I would get one for my home network, just for my parents.

  12. So, when do we get... on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    the Poo add-on?

  13. Re:I don't know about you ... on Linspire Announces Freespire Distribution · · Score: 2, Informative

    I only use IE for Windows updates and FireFox for everything else. I've never had an issue accessing any Canadian Federal, Provincial, or Municipal web site. AFAIK, government web sites (here in Canada, anyway) are legislated to be cross platform (i.e. not use any browser specific code).
