  1. Re:Um no. on Linus' Other Gift to the World · · Score: 1

    He did start something truly good for humans.

    Sharing with everyone is a basic good move.

    Governments and Corps can spin it as much as they like.

    There stuck with open source. It will get bigger.

  2. Re:Every person's right on Terry Pratchett Considers Assisted Suicide · · Score: 1

    100% agree

    We all agree we are pretty smart as far as life on earth goes. But when it comes to death well NO.

    The government wants you to keep being a cog in the machine until your totaly broken and unable to live. How horrible. We know so much but have no control over our self.

    Governments love having us cogs spinning away. There the parasite controlling us. When we get unhappy we must be medicated, educated, trained to keep spinning.

    Animals get more love.

  3. Happyness in slavery on Over 7.5 Million Facebook Users Are Under 13 · · Score: 1

    Get em while there young.

  4. OMG the game looks shit. on id Software's RAGE To Ship With Mod Tools · · Score: 1

    Come on.

    Oblivion was good. But we are older now.

    The car in the video was on dirt and preformed like it was on flat tarmac. Im sure the kids will love it. John your peers will think you better stick to modular rockets. At least armadillos have armour.

  5. Re:Who? on Hotel Tracks Towels With RFID Chips · · Score: 1


    <p>The last time I was in a super-luxury hotel they had a small shop by the lobby where you could buy hotel-branded towels if you wanted a souvenir of your stay. They were better quality than the ones in the rooms, and very reasonably priced -- I doubt they made a profit, but I bet they had less towels stolen because of it.</p></quote>

    They made a profit for sure. People happy to steal did anyway.

  6. Re:Nuke the chip on Hotel Tracks Towels With RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    Why is it full of RFID chips ? Err I mean popcorn.

  7. Lets not get carried away. on Artificial Synapse Created For Synthetic Brain · · Score: 1

    Its not like adrenaline will make the nano tubes toss a petri dish off of there siblings.

    We cant weaponize it just yet :)

  8. It measures a test score for a smart monkey. on What Does IQ Really Measure? · · Score: 2

    Created by another monkey to rate you on a monkey scale.

    What it really measures is pointless. Its only a made up monkey test.

  9. Wake up on Microsoft's Xbox To Have Streaming TV Service? · · Score: 1

    Its ok they will screw it up and pirate bay will still be cheaper and easier.

    They trying to change. That's a good sign at least.

  10. Re:Apple stock == huge gamble on 50% of Apple's Revenue Comes From the iPhone · · Score: 1

    When I am home I have my PC and a 24 inch display. For now. I will get better in time.

    When I am at work I have my phone and my work PC.

    iPad fits in somewhere when no one is looking and I gut it like a little fat pig.

    I know apple love to play with kids. But we grow up and there selling crap. iPad bins will now need to be in male toilets as well it seems.

  11. Re:Apple stock == huge gamble on 50% of Apple's Revenue Comes From the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Well I need a phone so if iPhone got a look in.

    The iPad is just stupid.

  12. USA . Is the goal profit or Tech on America's Tech Decline: a Reading Guide · · Score: 1

    Really its now invent, patent and profit. You cant say the USA is short on profit.

    If the country shifted goals to racing ahead on tech, I am sure they would still do very well at it.

    In the end it comes down to what you want.

  13. We are in the Age of Greed on The End of the "Age of Speed" · · Score: 1

    No one wants to go faster. They want to make more money.

  14. How long until we wake up on French Hacker Arrested After Bragging On TV · · Score: 1

    The young love to brag on media. TV, Blog's, Facebook the list goes on. The problem is we are now well trained monkeys to record everything we do.

    Funny how when its something wrong there are surprised there in trouble.

    I hate to see what young people eagerly submit themselves too in 20 years.

  15. It took 5 days to fix on DRM Broke Dragon Age: Origins For Days · · Score: 1

    Very poor response for a single player game. Lock customers out for 5 days.

  16. Cow skin on The 30th Anniversary of Osborne Computer · · Score: 1

    First thing that came to my mind was cow skin box's for computers.

    Not sure why but.

  17. Re:7 kids? And vacation home, and a place in D.C. on Congressman Wants YouTube Video Covered Up · · Score: 1

    Yer but the hookers cost about that much again. So he is doing it hard :)

  18. Re:Bla on Why Russian Space Images Look Different From NASA's · · Score: 1

    Both US and Russian Pics look great.

    Not that I have ever had the privlage of being in space to look down on the earth. I imagine the nasa image to be more what the eye see's. That could be because all the movies I have watched have the earth as a blue / green planet.

    I would love to see the earth from orbit in true human eye color. Even if that is not as pretty.

  19. Re:What Could Possibly Go Wrong? on Man In Trouble For Using Helicopter to Water Ski · · Score: 1

    Australian Government will not be happy until we are all drones that conform to narrow limiting laws for our safety.

    And the sad thing is we let them do it. Give it another decade or two and we will think we where so free in 2011.

  20. Umm.. Wrong disaster guys. on The Simpsons Reviewed For Unsuitable Nuclear Jokes · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked the news the disaster was earthquakes and waves that killed many many thousands of people. The reactor has not even come close to being on the same scale.

    Why are they not censoring earthquakes and waves in Simpson episodes? There the cause of the loss of life.

  21. The game is a betrail. on Dragon Age II Released · · Score: 1

    This game is so consolfied it is beyond believe.

    They amped up the character animations so that warriors and mages jump around swinging and attacking like champs.

    They made the plot run on a single rail train line. The maps are all one way and narrow.

    The entertainment comes from crushing multiple waves of trash attacker in a story your stuck in the middle of an unbeatable army the you and your few companions crush over and over from the start of the game.

    Add to that the new AI system ditch's all your commands so you pause the game and set targets for your 4 or 5 companions. As soon as your press play they do the one command then switch targets and do what ever they like.

    Total cluster pouppy RPG.

    Consoles destroyed another good game maker.

  22. Re:Three words: on New MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals 'Shoddy Assembly' · · Score: 1

    Until there build by only robots their built by low paid Asian workers.

    Seriously do we have to pretend our brand names are so good. Hopefully their punished into better quality before I buy one.

  23. Hmm on Man Pays $200,000 To Save Fake Online Girlfriend · · Score: 1

    How someone can get $200,000 available cash and then be so stupid to send it a virtual girlfriend is beyond me.

  24. Re:The 15 inch quad core price is very disappointi on Quad Core, Thunderbolt In New MacBook Pros · · Score: 1

    I thought the same before using a MacBook Pro every day for work for a year.

    You just don't get the stability, performance, battery life and build quality in a cheap Windows notebook (I've bought tons of them after much research when I worked in IT). Runs for months on end, 80 hour weeks, never shutdown, rarely restarted, basically never gets in my way.



    What do you get from an expensive windows notebook. If your going to compair apples to poo. Be fair at least.

    How much time do you have spare to compile the information ?

    I see many such instances but could never be bothered to collate them in a board post.
