    I am confounded and intrigued by your view of semantics, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

  3. first impressions on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 0

    very clean, looks like a apple product. but you access a push button and a directional pad with the same finger? does not seem very functional. a second button underneath for your pointer and middle finger would be better. the joystick add on looks very nice though and is a good break from holding one unit at what, was always for me, a awqward angle for my wrists.

  4. great space saving technology! on Space Saving Technologies for the Home? · · Score: 2, Informative

    milk crates, put stuff in 'em and stack those bitches up. very little overhead for how much space they take up and free if you take them from behind a 7-11. also great for organization, just use a label maker over the logo of the company of who it used to belong too. sturdy too!

    gee wilikers, it must be obvious day at camp stupid. great way to agrue against me by stating my point.

    That is more of a result of mis-understanding in that time period then anything else. It has nothing to do with taking charge of your own life and claiming responsibilities for your own actions.

  7. Re:It's remarkable how wrong this is on Researchers Say Human Brain is Still Evolving · · Score: 1

    Evolution will never stop, that's a fact of life. But, people seem to detach themselves from the enviroment and the rest of the world we live in other then other people. For example, are you more likely to get jailtime for killing a bear in cold blood or killing a human? You can't honestly answer this question without realizing that there is huge weight just in the legal system that places a human's life over a animals. This sort of detachment from nature and other animals (not just in legal matters) makes people tend to dissosiate themselves with other animals. This article being written about "How we are still undergoing evolution" seems fascinating at first glance because of this.

    For when police start to ask "are you a terrorist?" in thier usual barage of questions. Protection and domination merge at somepoint and it seems to me that that point is approaching soon.

  11. Re:Retailers are FAR more dishonest than customers on Retail Fraud on the Rise · · Score: 1

    I think that as corporations get bigger and bigger and want more and more profit. People will sympathise with them less and less and see nothing wrong with ripping them off. I know I barely care about top level executives and shareholders losing some profits that should be going to employees. Most employees of big chain stores have actually told me where to steal or even acted like they were keeping an eye on me If in fact I was and gave me "all-clear" signals. This was'nt limited to 16-18 year olds. I'm not amazed this contempt for big companies is limited employees that hate thier job and rip off and steal from the place constantly. Either safegaurds will be put in place that will cause more bussiness to go to competition or they will bite it.

  12. Nit-Picking on What Mac OS X Could Learn From Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most of these seemed to point out litte small niy-picky things. With the save button, I know when im working on a document its easier just to hit Commad-S from the keyboard then to go to the mouse and hit a button on a tool-bar. I usually turn any sort of tool-bar off though to save screen space. Multi-Button mouses? God. The mac is compatible out of the box but its more of a statement of how simple it is to use then anything else. Moving folders up to the top is just a pain in the ass if you are trying to find a file in a folder full of other folders and files. Say if the file has a name that begins with "F" you have to hit the F-Key a bunch of times to get past all the folders that have names starting with it to get into the files. Wastes more time like that then it could possilbley save, plus you can sort by type. And anyway, who reads documentation for a Apple product?

  13. Re:Quack! Don't waste your time/money! on Cobblestones are Good for You · · Score: 1

    People learn from immitating each other, and its amazing how strong the power of suggestion is. Most people are gullible enough that if you talk about how great acupuncture is they are likely to believe it and try it themselves. Then report back saying it relly helped them, not because it did. But because they thought it would. I immagine eventually people will just immitating thier understanding of how they learn through immitation and it will be very funny and sad.

  14. Re:USB HD on Best Way to Back Up Photos and Video? · · Score: 1

    USB 2.0 requires more CPU power for transmission then firewire does. so firewire is faster on a slower computer, but on a faster one its pretty much equal unless the CPU is tied up.

    it said in the article that he would use his cell phones internet access. which is generally pretty expensive for sub-par speeds. so no he would not need to be in range of another hotspot.
