  1. Re:A question for financial advisors? on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 1

    What's the best way for a stock market newbie to purchase some of this stock? Simple: Don't! Google's stock is entirely speculative. Go for blue chips.

  3. Yes, yes it does make this kind of loot on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 5, Informative

    advertising revenue is pretty much the source of all of Google's profits.

  4. Re:Where the fault lies... on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Clearly then, GOD is at fault for the mugging-at-gunpoint.

    And every other crime on the planet.

  5. No problem on Virtual Muggings in Lineage II · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just miniaturize http://www.baytoday.ca/content/news/details.asp?c= 6657 that and you're set.

  6. As opposed.. on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    to now, with sites giving cliff notes and sometimes entire written reports?

    I remember a survey that was a done a few years ago found that somewhere around 60% of American students admitted to having cheated at some point. I don't see how this could be worse, as most game cheats are easily detectable, certainly more so than detecting a duplicate essay.

  7. Re:I beleive this to be the future of education on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I find that children respond better to positive reinforcement and supportive counselling than savage beatings. What is this, 1920?

    YMMV..

  8. I beleive this to be the future of education on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IMO, it is vital to make homework not feel like homework in order to get children interested in their schooling again and combat their growing apathy.

  9. Forget guard dogs... on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 1, Funny

    No one is going to try to steal stuff from your house if it's protected by a guard panther.

  10. Can it even work? on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 0

    Think of the logistics involved in maintaining a herd of elephants. Where are you going to put them?

    Besides, species die out all the time regardless of human behaviour. Let's stop meddling with nature.

  11. Please shut up on EFF Weighs in on Computer Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    Your right to free speech stops when you try to jam this propagandic and fallacious crap down my throat. It's NOT about the children, it`s about DUE PROCESS. Without due process, "justice" becomes just a word and YOUR life goes down the drain - just because you wanted to "save the children". The police botched their job and they deserve to be called on it, no matter how heinous the crime is. Nobody is trying to defend child pornography or encourage hiding it. NO ONE. So drop this bullshit.

  12. You're being paranoid on EFF Weighs in on Computer Privacy Case · · Score: 1

    While I am 100% against video cameras in the PUBLIC space I am not against video cameras in a private space (i.e. dressing rooms of a store). My feelings for personal privacy have no weight in a privately owned store that is using video cameras as a theft prevention mechanism. I do however have an equal weight with regards to my feelings about public spaces being spied upon.

    Oh come on. When you're outside, PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU. Imagine that. You have NO expectation of privacy outside of your property. Public MICROPHONES I could understand, as it allows people to understand what they normally couldn`t - i.e. a private discourse between two people. But cameras? Ridiculous.

  13. Sony... on Xbox360 Pricing, 2 Models at Launch · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why M$ seems to be pulling their punches, they only have $40 BILLION dollars in the bank.

    You say that as if Sony didn't also have a massive war chest for just such a situation

  14. I can see it now on Anti-Phishers Pose as Phishers to Make Point · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Sir! Sir! Are you a terror-"*gets shot*

  15. So this is cybereconoterrorism? on Crackers Slam EQ2 Economy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wish I could pull THAT off in Scrabble.

  16. Re:What is a "triple A" title? on Warren Spector on Licensing · · Score: 1

    At least a game like Mario 64 is a bit closer to reality.

    I want some of what you're smoking if you think a plumber/olympic gymnast (come on, the triple jump?) going (by means of magical, oversized pipes no less) to a castle to save a princess from a giant fire-breathing, monstrous turtle is in any way closer to reality.

  17. Syntax? on Branched Nanotubes Offer Smaller Transistors · · Score: 1

    Maybe the article MEANT a few hundred-millionths and not a few hundred millionths.

  18. Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on Branched Nanotubes Offer Smaller Transistors · · Score: 4, Funny

    What if I have a really, really powerful microscope?

  19. Re:I, for one, don't bother with cookies anymore on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 1

    Tough luck to them, but usually when that happens I can plainly see it (the sitye doesn't work anymore)...unfreeze the cookies, visit, re-freeze. If the update is not required (i.e it doesn't break the site NOT to) then frankly I see no reason to get it at all.

  20. I, for one, don't bother with cookies anymore on Death of Cookies, Spyware Greatly Exaggerated? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I simply deleted all my cookies, visited every site I *want* a cookie from and then set my cookies to be read-only. Worry-free AND all the benefits of good cookies!

  21. Re:They might have a larger index file on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 1

    Then the dictionary would indeed help you speak German better...? I'm sorry, was that a trick question? I'm not following you.

  22. I disagree on What's Up With The PSP? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Interest in the UMD is virtually nil, and rightfully so IMHO; why would you want a lower-quality movie format you can only watch on your PSP when you could buy a DVD instead (for the same price I believe?)?

  23. They might have a larger index file on NCSA Compares Google and Yahoo Index Numbers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    but they can't sift through it nearly as well as Google, so what does it matter? Even if you have a bigger dictionnary, if you can't speak English at all it won't do you much good.

    Already an improvement over ordinary classes they could not care less about.

    If M.Thompson truely believes Ken and Barbie dolls are anatomically correct then surely The Sims 2 could be used in a Biology class? Maybe even sex ed!
