  1. The article says... on Weapons of War Now Include Lightning Guns · · Score: 1

    The expo is a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of America, but it's also a vision of its future: a nation mired in barriers and locks, fitted out with all-seeing sensors and closed-circuit television, where terrorism, as one company's slogan goes, "is reduced to a minor inconvenience."

    Didn't John Kerry get lambasted for saying something very similar to that?

  2. Re:The software rules our world... on Sony Describes DS As Gimmick · · Score: 1

    The Sega Saturn came first.

    And don't give me that 'worthy' 3d graphics chip stuff, the Saturn had Radiant Silvergun.

  3. Re:Article error on Nintendogs In-Depth Strategy Guide · · Score: 1

    Also, IIRC, Ein was specially bred and engineered as a 'data dog' to be incredibly intelligent, having nothing to do with it being a Welsh Corgi in the first place. In fact, isn't a portion of the show spent on Spike trying to get rid of it?

  4. Re:4 out of 5 swinging dicks recommend... on Laser Cannons Coming to an F-16 Near You · · Score: 1

    If this was powerful enough to take out
    a) other planes
    b) ground targets
    it might just be worth it.

    What if you covered the missile in those reflective bike strips? But super high-quality? Don't those reflect light right back at the source?

  6. Re:Dilbert on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

    No, I don't. It's in a book called 'Dogberts Top Secret Managerial Guide' (or something like that, I'm away from home ATM). It's rather old, I know that.

  7. Re:Google... on Google, Skype and the Future of IM · · Score: 1

    Very true. Lies can be told to further the common good.

  8. Re:My ones on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    My friend did something like this. I tell you now that you should not breath in the smoke. While getting you high, I can safely say cocaine is a safer drug.

    "Griffin in finance or the mythical creature?"

    "Whichever is harder."

    Don't forget the extremly popular Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic One and Two.

  11. Re:Children and 'adult content' in games. on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    Those 'sex bracelets' were worn by many of my little sister's friends without them ever knowing they had sexual connotations.

    Sex is completly natural. I don't understand why children need to be sheltered from it. There's two phases: the "ewwww!" phase and the curious phase. You don't need sheltering in either case because the child will avoid or seek it out as is natural.

    According to media stereotypes, my brain has been completly rotted out by ecstasy, and I have multiple STDs. Don't listen to the media.

  12. Re:I think it's about time on Parents 'ignore game age ratings' · · Score: 1

    Imagine if the minimum ages for tobaco and alchohol were just suggestions with no penalties: truth.com wouldn't stop parents from being fast-talked by their own children into buying something that's harmful for them.
     
    In Germany there are almost no laws on drinking age. It's avaliable to almost everyone. Because of this, alcohol is not the big deal it is here in the US. Kids aren't fast talking their parents because it really isn't something they really want. Because it's not restricted from them, children don't see the need to do it to 'feel rebellious' or 'feel adult' or whatever. Making something taboo makes it desireable.

    Nor is it a webbrowser.

  14. Re:Why the IAFC is against the change on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    True, but the basis of it had much more of a stance of 'state power' (in excessive amounts, or so history books tell us) rather than today's mantra of shared power (which, as we all know, means shit).

  15. Re:You can even close explorer.exe... on Running Windows With No Services · · Score: 1

    This one bothers me - is there any way to get a win98 style process manager? In other words, when I hit CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, I want it to give all the CPU time it can to the Process Manager because I desperatly need to kill something. Alas, the default Windows XP one doesn't do that.

    Ever read the articles of confederation?

  18. Re:What is wrong with Marijuana? on Orkut Linked To Drug Ring Bust · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with it? I'll tell you what's wrong with it - once the people hand their right to do something over to the government, the government almost never gives it back.

  19. Re:What is wrong with Marijuana? on Orkut Linked To Drug Ring Bust · · Score: 1

    IIRC, it can only cause psychosis in people that already have a predisposition to it. In that same vein, it's not the cannabis that causes the psychosis, it simply brings it to the surface.

  20. Re:It seems to me... on Rate Your IM Popularity · · Score: 1

    Either that, or A has no friends. Or only use AIM sparingly. Please, write an algorithm to distinguish these situations.
