  1. Re:Are they insane?! on How Long to Crack an 'Encrypted' HD? · · Score: 1

    Yes many of them do (contrary to a lot of what is in the bible - dancing wine and partying in particular). However, I have yet to meet a christian fundamentalist who will kill me because I drink. They follow the same laws and mores as other US citizens allowing me not to vote for their governmental candidates. The fact that muslims will kidnap and execute journalists puts them on a whole differnt level.

  2. Re:Bah on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 1

    This is old news. The only reason it is still around are all the subsidies. Iowa state government subsidies Etheanol so heavily that I can get gas with Ethonal for 10 cents less per gallon than standard unleaded.

  3. Re:This isn't really a problem on Microsoft Warns of Impossible to Clean Spyware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That sounds very similar to what I do for my wifes computer: 1. Buy new PC 2. DO NOT PLUG IN NETWORK CABLE 3. Image drive to external storage wth Ghost or the like 4. Unplug external storage 5. Plug in network cable 6. Let her play around for about 2 weeks 7. Restore image made in step 3 8. Goto 4

  4. Re:Yup - mod parent up... on Online Gaming Addictive? · · Score: 1

    You hit the nail right on the head. I wanted to add that TFA had absolutly no substance, just a few allegations that some people allow themselves to become addicted to MMO's and one person killed himslef because of it... big deal, people become addicted to Meth, coke or any number of other more dangerous substances and kill themselves all the time. When you allow yourself to become dependant on something, you must accept the consequences. Disclamer: This isn't to say MMO's are bad, I spend about 5-10 hours a week playing WOW and I enjoy it immensly. I just know enough not to let it ruin my marriage or friendships (some of which developed through video games).

  5. Re:Flame Away! on Humans are Causing Global Warming · · Score: 1

    The real question here is where is the actual article? This sounds like very compelling evidence, but I, for one, will withhold judgement until I am sure this isn't just media spin.

  7. Re:Let me tell you why on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    The sentiment expressed by the parent is exactly right. There was no possible way I could bring myself to vote for Kerry. I don't exactly disagree with pre-emptive actions by a sovergn nation, but the USAPatriot Act set me against the incumbent. As a result, I voted for Badnarik.

  8. Re:P2P is a good way to sample music...for some pp on UK Record Industry Sues 'Major Filesharers' · · Score: 1

    Sorry to point out the flaw in your logic, but you do have a choice (btw you always have a choice). That choice seems to be to buy less "new" music.

    You have based your argument on the assumption that you are entitled to new music every week. This is simply not true. In the U.S., you are entitled to free speech, free press etc. (I'm not familiar with India's constitution), and you have the option of obtaining new music by paying for it, or breaking copyright law and aquiring it unpaid via p2p networks.

    If radio is really that bad, that sounds like a potential business oportunity to me. Quit whining about being 16 and get a job. Even at $15 a pop, I was able to afford a new cd each week, save $50 for college, go to school and have a few bucks left over (while working fast food).

  9. Re:Allow Me to Rant About This on CBS and Rather Admit Mistakes in Bush Documents · · Score: 1

    Kind of like the swift boat veterans for truth?

  10. Re:The situation is not totally helpless however.. on US Candidates Ignore Looming Debt Crisis · · Score: 1

    You need a class in basic economics: 1. When you raise the minimum wage, companies that pay people that will cut jobs and find ways to do more with less. Congratulations, the company makes more money, and more people are out jobs. 2&3. Can you name even one system that functioned better as a beurocracy than as a Public system? I can't. Other than that, it sounds a lot like socialism/comunism.... Sorry but I work for myself and for my family. If you don't have the motivation to do the same, thats your fault not mine. I took loans to get through college, nothing says you can't do it too.

    I thought that was 92.3% of all statistics are made up? :)

  12. Re:Learn some history on EU Pushes to Limit Internet Speech · · Score: 1

    Now if he was around during the holocaust and did not work to prevent it, then he is obligated to pay something; I'm not sure what though. However, if this is not the case, why should he suffer for his ancestors mistakes. Thats like saying that the US should pay reparations to blacks because their ancestors were slaves to our ancestors...
