  1. Re:Thanks a lot, Florida on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 1

    Typed in TOO much of a hurry. By law there can be no test for eligibility to vote. But the question is how far we must lower the bar to allow all voters a chance to have their vote counted

    I hold the election officials in that county as responsible as the public that failed to object to that ballot when it was displayed far in advance

    "Gore was going to lose no matter what"
    True according to several media recounts using the Gore campaigns standards.

    It is pretty sad that an election can swing on 19,000
    people who where to dim to punch out hole 21 to vote for Gore.

    or waz dat bukana iz spoz tu vote fo.

  3. We have explored all of Earth on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1

    What is left now to feed the desire of most humans to explore and gather knowledge about what is beyond our own vision. The balance between the cost of the exploration and its proportion to the budgets of each nation state is debatable. Add to this the future of private space flight and we will see no end to the exploration of space.

  4. Aerogel is superior, but expensive. on NASA Set To Launch Probe To Mercury · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Since aerogels have much higher thermal insulation values than practically any other medium except hard vacuum they are especially excellent insulation candidates in poor to moderate vacuum ranges.

  5. i love violent games. on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think they let members of society get out thier frustrations without physically acting them out.

  6. Re:Backups, Who needs em... on Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice · · Score: 0

    Why do most users fail to backup most of thier important data until it is to late? Is it the same mentality that has large numbers of Seattlites driving without insurance because they "won't get in a wreck"? What is it?

    1. It is the expectation that things will always work because they always have.
    Or
    2. They lack the skills or facilities to actually make a backup of thier blogs and user base.
    Or
    3. The tried and true "it will never happen to me"

  7. The failed system forces many to "steal" int/prop on Lessig Legal Team Needs Your Copyright Stories · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I hope this lawsuit succeeds, It is sick how much good work is untouchable today. Im not supporting copyright infringement...blah blah blah...but if the system does not work, many will work around it. It is time for a real change.

  8. No, your a sick fuck. on Nintendo Pokemon Mini LCD Game Hacked · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    that I am sure of.

  9. It was great in the wind tunnel too on USS Enterprise Finally Flies · · Score: 1

    Previous /. post but great to think of a large one that would carry people. Need a big jet turbine though.

  10. I think I know what was here.... on Privacy in the Woods? · · Score: 1

    It must have been really bad to be taken off.

  11. Your page rank is relevant too.. on How To Get Googled, By Hook Or By Crook · · Score: 1

    So the higher google scores your sites, the more relevant it will score the link.

  12. That is evil.. on Phishing Scams Incorporate SSL Certificates · · Score: 0

    Considering the low level of understanding most users have, I think many more will fall for these scemes. We should all switch to the dark side.

  13. This will be my daughter in 10 years..... on Building Social Skills in Gifted Youths? · · Score: 0

    She is so far ahead of children her age that she can't connect with them. If she withdraws, she will only find solitude but will never learn to interact.

  14. It was the overwhelming force. on Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    There were too many targets to shoot with longbows. It appeared from the angle of the crossbows that they were shooting almost straight up. I think they ran up to the base of the wall by the thousands, not sitting out at 1000 metres.

  15. I want to kill people on Thief 3 Website Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I hated that limitation in thief 2 (never played thief 1) If I want to get away with a crime, I should be able to kill one or two average people. Right? I may be very twisted, but Postal was one of my favorite games. /reminising about cocktailing a marching band/ aaaaaahhhh

  16. Is that your ex-wifes email address? on Thief 3 Website Goes Live · · Score: -1, Troll

    Shame on you. I never did that. No one saw me do it. It was not from a library. You cant prove anything.

  17. Blow, J on Anatomy of Game Development · · Score: 2, Funny

    you could write it that way.

  18. Re:In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamic on Fuelless Flight with Air Submarine? · · Score: 1

    it is not fuel free, but uses very little fuel. If it were not for the darkness under water, the little survey bot would have solar panels. Why can the supermarine not have a few solar panels for a helium pump. Or batteries to save up the NRG from the turbine during a glide?

  19. Re:Holy *hit BatMan on Fuelless Flight with Air Submarine? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With engines and small amount of fuel as backup, would you trust this non submarine?

  20. Re:Installs software? on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 1

    I want to check it out, but I refuse to buy this cd.

  21. Turn of auto run! on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I got a photo cd from my mother years ago. It installed Wal-Mart software that caused a system crash. The photo envelope had a small EULA that I did not read. It pays to hide in a small hole in your yard.

  22. Re:Call The Judge on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    You can call him at home, and offer to sell him your used shorts.
