  1. Re:It's harmless. Watch TV. on X-37B Space Plane Marks One Year In Space · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A piece of rebar in the destroyed floor of a room is just another piece of rebar.

    I'm sure a piece of metal dropped from orbit would have some identifying characteristics due to the forces that would act upon it during transit and impact.

    How does something like homeopathy even find it's way into a traditional school?

    I like Gregory Benford these days but I'm nearing the end of the Galactic Center series with nothing else on deck, mayhaps I'll have to check out Mr. Reynolds.

  4. Re:Our repressed media is bad enough on Arizona Ponders FCC Decency Standards For the Classroom · · Score: 1

    Having lived in Arizona before I moved to Idaho...every time I hear about stuff like this from Arizona/Oklahoma/Mississippi I almost give myself a concussion when slapping my forehead.

    Luna's education agenda is just as asinine as any sort of state sanctioned No Cussing Club. Laptops and iPads does not a good education make.

    People forget that there were serious discussions about merging the UK and France into one country in the 60s.

    That sounded interesting and I empathize with being lazy.

    No it wasn't.

  8. Re:Recovered? on A Job Fair For Jobs In India — In California · · Score: 1

    Interesting how the belief that "growth" is a solution still is almost ubiquitous.

    Our entire economy is based on growth and it's absolutely ridiculous. I cannot offer an alternative but without heading to the stars I think it's pretty obvious growth as an economic model is unsustainable and I do not understand why this is never discussed.

    Wrong.

    Almost all of them will not buy another Android device either.

    You're a fanboy, surrounded by fanboy's here, so you've become completely disconnected from the real world.

    ...and now most of them regret it.

    ...you are completely out of touch.

    Normal people don't have a problem with what Apple does and they do have a distrust/dislike for Microsoft

    Fanboy much?

    You'll get A LOT better at predicting trends when you stop thinking everyone in the world shares your personality traits.

    Take your own advice and calm the fuck down bro.

  10. Re:Forgiveness at no cost? on Student Loans In America: the Next Big Credit Bubble · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is what happens when you spend 100k on a good college getting an english/art/history/worthless degree.

    I think a good first step would be to require registration of your major when you apply for loans and then to be a little more selective on those degrees that wont really contribute to society as a hole.

    Yes because turning our higher education system into job training is really going to be a boon to society.

    I just want to see the pictures.

    I can do without their new fangled CGI, I just want to see a layout of the town. If it's been of known since 1967 surely there's a map, however crude, of it out there.

  18. Re:Verizon won't roll them out to kiosks. . . on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores · · Score: 1

    'Verizon won't roll them out to kiosks until it performs better on the market. . .'

    . . . and it won't perform better on the market until agents have it in their hands to offer customers. Catch-22 anyone?

    It's not just the kiosks I was at the Verizon website a few weeks back and I simply couldn't pull up a Windows 7 phone. I could pull up older Windows Mobile devices but not WinPho7 I could Google all sorts of shit about them being available for Verizon but no Windows 7 product to be found. I check now and I see that I have 2 options, but hey I guess it's only been like 3 months since they launched for the carrier.

    Apparently this is part of the reason why you don't see 70s/80's action programming now

    Good news my friend! Thanks to the OTA digial transition we now have weird .2 channels, in my area 2.2 and 12.2 are devoted entirely to shows that aired sometime between the beginning of television and the mid 80's (with a few exceptions most notably ST:TNG).

    How is forcing people to pay for the usage of the road a bad idea? Sounds great to me, drive more pay more and if that's a problem find alternatives or live closer to where you work. I'll never understand this god give right to the automobile in this country.

    So does Prepay (layer of monetary protection), but those are often a PITA to get and there are usually fees involved in getting them.

    Yeah such a pain in the ass that's why you would just buy prepaid game cards instead of a prepaid credit card, I mean they're only offered at every convenience store, grocery store and department store. From XBLA points to F2P MMO networks they're just about everywhere these days and I've never seen a fee on one. 20 bucks of credits is 20 bucks of credits is 20 bucks of credits.

  25. Re:Agreed - Scapegoat for organized crime on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's highly unlikely that anyone that would self identify as Anon was involved with this. Perhaps Sony's recent troubles have caused people, who might not otherwise have bothered, to take a closer look at Sony and their related infrastructures and there they found opportunities they had previously overlooked.

    Then again there might just be one really bad ass anon who decided to get down with his bad self.
