  1. Re:When will Volkswagon fix the issue? on Judge Rules In Favor of Volkswagen and Silences Scientist · · Score: 1

    VW announces new 2010 TDI beta!

  2. Sexbot? on Would You Let a Robot Stick You With a Needle? · · Score: 1

    Is this a medicalbot or a sexbot, I can't tell which due to the prick.

    Aside from that yes I'd allow a bot to needle me. It would probably be better than an unsteady hand of a tech and much more accurate. I really can't see it hurting worse than if a human were to do it.

  3. I'm amazed on News Worth Buying On Paper · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not at the summary not at TFA, but more that there is a market for golf crash injury victim lawyers.

    Yeah, I have to apologize after I had posted it I realized that apparently "coherent thought" and writing didn't go together in that post.

  5. Ponzi Scheme? on SEC Alleges 'Bitcoin Savings & Trust' Is a Ponzi Scheme · · Score: 1

    So if it works or near works it's still a Ponzi scheme really?

  6. Re:what is good for the goose is good for the gand on NSA Can't Search Its Own Email · · Score: 1

    No doubt a trusting agency such as that would already be scanning their internal emails looking for leaks.

  7. Re:sounds like they're running exchange on NSA Can't Search Its Own Email · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I concur it's very simple to search across and pull user or timeframe emails. If they are like any other branches of the gov why are they not required to maintain backup copies of email? Wasn't there a big thing during the Clinton administration that resulted in Washington keeping emails on record after that?

    Even if their server can't do it what about their backup repository.

    Better yet why not take a butteryfly net and overlay a plastic shopping bag and just hold it under your dog, nothing to bend over and scoop up.

    Do you carry a torch for your fleshlight?

    You said fannies, I would have loved to see the look of horror/disgust/hilarity of some Brits during the US fanny pack craze.

    I know what ringing someone up is, take knocking is the same but on the front door.

    I assume that means going around to visit?

    I think someone needs a geography and linguistic lesson. Last I checked Rome was in Italy and they spoke Italian and not a dialect of English.

    It's as if millions of San Fransicans suddenly cried out and then were silenced.

    Do they use torches when they frequent online forums, you know to illuminate the shady websites?

    What are some strategies for illuminating what we need to without casting excess light everywhere and inadvertently blinding our neighbors or keeping them awake?

    Tell her to close her blinds.

  17. Last year at Christmas time I had to replace a string of lights cause one went out and rather than search for the one of 150 I just purchased a new set, can I thank TVA engineers for that?

  18. For those who favor the idea of Internet service as a government-run utility, what do you see as the best-case scenario for such a system?

    I see the same thing we currently have, paying more for less.

    It was meant to be SMS text but my spelling is off.

    If it was due to the drilling which is a common belief, no data to back it up as opposed to studies to disprove it was the drilling then for it to have lasted as long as it had I think more was at work here than just the drilling. It began in 2006 and continues.

  21. Re:Better plots? on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, yank here and I prefer foreign films to whats offered here (yes I don't mind subtitles at all, I'm not too lazy to read them). Take Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the original was so much better than Hollywoods version. Lately I've become enamored with Korean cinema. I just recently discovered Oldboy Min-suk Choi was brilliant in that role. Don't even get me started on the Asian horror genre they have ghost stories locked down, not too many special effects but tons of skin crawling creepy and shit your pants scary moments like the Hollywood horror films of old.

  22. Re:The day human beings become rational ... on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    This is the exact reason that the number of times I'll see a film in the theater per year is 1 or less. I think in the last decade I've seen a half dozen films in the theater.

  23. Three act structure on The Book That Is Making All Movies the Same · · Score: 1

    This follows the same music formula for the I V vi IV chord progression in most popular music.

  24. Re:Like in the Bible! on Ohio Zoo Attempts To Mate Female Rhino With Her Brother For Species Survival · · Score: 1

    Science is based on facts and supporting evidence. Other than faith and a mass belief I have yet to see proof of the existence of an actual god. Jesus was a real person that really existed. Roman documents back up the Christian bible on that count, but other than the bibles text (mostly hearsay without supporting evidence) I don't think god can be proven to exist or not.

    I have the ability to reason like so many others, I can not blindly follow. I have to question.

    I have issue believing a book written by men claiming it to be the word of god. If a man today claimed that and claimed to be the son of god he'd either be in the penal system along with so many other mentally ill or homeless. Remember those that heard voices a hundred or even 50 years ago were put away and kept out of sight.

  25. Re:Like in the Bible! on Ohio Zoo Attempts To Mate Female Rhino With Her Brother For Species Survival · · Score: 1

    I don't think calling someone a liar for their beliefs is correct.

    Everyone is free to believe or not to believe. If poster has faith that their god told them to take a step off a bridge and they wouldn't fall I'd be willing to watch. I've never seen gravity lose that battle.
