  1. Science on Is Extraterrestrial Life More Whimsical Than Plausible? · · Score: 1

    I thought science was about forming a theory or hypothesis and then either proving or disproving it. You can't see gravity but it's there, Isaac Newton didn't discover it, but he started pondering the mechanism. Does not mean that the billions of years prior to that everything floated.

    I think if anything it will make us redefine what is life, not to mention that it's going to be hard to prove or disprove life on other planets without evidence to support or lack or evidence to refute it, just because we don't find life on the first 100,000 planets doesn't mean 100,001 won't be teaming with life. Once earth was at the center of our solar system, we know that to be untrue now, we thought mental illness was caused by demons we know different now. To make the claim that we are the only sentient lifeforms in the entire universe is well beyond conceited.

    The difference is that unless it's a kernel update Linux doesn't really need a reboot on update.

  3. Re:Just withdraw from Germany. on YouTube Ordered To Remove Videos, Filter Future Uploads By German Court · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes because the population of Germany is such that the rest of the world would have to bear the brunt of the lost profits.

    Ever hear a mouse fart? Blocking Germany would be about as relevant to the Google brand in Germany.

  4. Re:Just withdraw from Germany. on YouTube Ordered To Remove Videos, Filter Future Uploads By German Court · · Score: 1

    I'm all for this. It would seem easier and less costly to disallow the entire country rather than implement a system to check. Besides I think if it could have been done it would have by now.

  5. I thought on US Unhappy With Australians Storing Data On Australian Shores · · Score: 1
    the cloud meant that anyways.

    sending negative messages about cloud providers based outside the country, implying that 'hosting data overseas, including in the United States, by definition entails greater risk and unduly exposes consumers to their data being scrutinized by foreign governments

    If someone not you has your data they have access to it as well. Common sense duh!

    In a mob of 30 it's hard to track down someone who yelled jump vs retrieving the ip of someone who posted as AC.

    As a parent and husband I say no-bullshit.

    Mom has half the money and all the pussy. Sorry to be crass but them's the facts.

    If you don't want to pound your hand the rest of your life then "mom knows best".

  15. Re:When people abuse prices go up on Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Returning a defective product usually involves exchanging it for another, not an outright return for money back.

  16. No need for drivers license on Best Buy Scans Drivers License For Returns — No More Allowed For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Why do this now with a drivers license? I'm sure the guy returning the tv after the big game didn't drop cash for it? Why not ban the card he used to make the purchase instead?

    I'm sure BB will use this practice until someone sues them for it citing privacy issues.

    Cheap cable means cheaply produced possibly sub standard components. You get what you pay for. Sometimes it's just a name, sometimes not.

  21. Re:Over priced and bad selection on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    Best thing about BB is when I buy stuff that I need at that moment from work I am pretty much forced to go to BB, the bright side is since it's a company purchase I put it on my personal reward zone card, that way I get free stuff without supporting BB directly.

    Best Buy may not be Shangri La, but in many rural and semi-rural parts of the U.S., it's the nearest and best place to actually find a wide selection of electronics.

    So was Circuit City at one time.
