  1. Dell Streak on Is Samsung Blocking Updates To Froyo? · · Score: 1

    Working out perfectly for me. Updated mine by myself from 1.6 to 2.2 without any hassles. Beats the heck out of a locked iPhone, or windows phone. I can side load any android app I want to, plus, without a carrier locked rom, I have tethering, wi-fi hot spot and no bloatware.

  2. Single? on Hank Chien Reclaims Donkey Kong High Score · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    5 bucks he's single, lives with his parents LOL

  3. Kind of like the old bit on EMC Engineer Steals Almost $1 Million of Kit One Piece at a Time · · Score: 1

    where people in the service would steal an entire jeep, one part at a time and ship it home.

  4. The inmates are running the place! on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't surprise me that we are having this conversation. Save the whales, save the owls, save the blind snail darter fish. What a bunch of limp wristed socialist!

  5. Wish you were here on Pink Floyd Give In To Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    Kind of stupid, since the album "Wish you were here" (my favorite), some of the tracks blend into one another. Same with a lot of PF albums. But, I guess they can make more money selling track at a time, opposed to the entire album.

  6. Shows you the on Spoofed White House Card Dupes Many Gov't Employees, Steals Data · · Score: 1

    mentality of the average government drone.

  7. Something tells me on How a Guy Found 4 New Planets Without a Telescope · · Score: 1

    That he's single and doesn't get out much ;)

  8. Corner the market on Pickens Wind-Power Plan Comes To a Whimpering End · · Score: 1

    He's not dumb, just came out on the wrong end of the stick this time. He's made and lost millions betting on one thing or another. THAT is how America's do things. They take RISKS. If your risk pays off, you become wealthy, if not, you don't. Look at Donald Trump...he's made and lost more money than a lot of people could ever dream of having. People try to trash "the rich", but if it wasn't for them taking a risk, we'd still be riding horses to and from work in the dark, coming home to the oil filled lamps!

  9. Virus free the last few years on Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I was a Nod32 fan since the beta of XP, but switched to MSE when it came out because Nod32 kept getting more bloated by each version, and having to pay for it each year, versus FREE was a good push to try it. I visit "questionable" sites weekly (mostly torrent/hacker) and it's blocked several items. I use a 1-2 punch of MSE, and just to be on the safe side, I check malware using Malware Bytes Anti-Malware.

  10. He's in trouble now!! on Make Your Own DHS Threat Level Display At Home · · Score: 1

    Once the real DHS finds out he stole how they actually do it LOL.

  11. Once again proving my theory on H.R. Giger Returns To the Alien Franchise · · Score: 1

    That Hollywood hasn't had an ORIGINAL idea in decades. Instead of developing a NEW idea, they fall back on releasing part 2,3,4, then "prequels".

  12. Screen shot on Stunts, Idiocy, and Hero Hacks · · Score: 1

    Kind of makes the whole "Ctrl-Prt-Screen" save as bmp, make it a wallpaper, then hide all of the icons, wait for the victim to ask why when they click on anything nothing happens pail in comparison doesn't it?

  13. Am I not the only one on Scientists Create Programmable Bacteria · · Score: 1

    concerned about this? Oh sure, it won't get out of hand...just like the creation of the A-bomb didn't get out of hand. This one is more scary because it is bacteria. I thought we outlawed germ warfare (even though we know both sides kept up the research).

  14. 6 down isn't broadband? on 68% of US Broadband Connections Aren't Broadband · · Score: 1

    I guess my 6 down 712 up isn't broadband then? Oh well, it's fast enough for what I use it for.

  15. morals on One Night Stands May Be Genetic · · Score: 0

    Well, when you consider that for the last 50 years, the education system & the separation of church & state crowd has gone out of its way to remove all instance of morals, religion from the school systems, couple that with the breakdown of the family and you are seeing what happens. Rampant unwed mothers, kids without fathers, anything goes and this is what happens...doesn't surprise me one bit.

  16. at&t isn't that bad on Consumer Reports Gives AT&T Lowest US Carrier Rank · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And when the hoard of iPhone users flood another carrier (Verizon?) when at&t loses its exclusive contract with Apple, maybe two things will happen. 1. The speeds on at&t's network will increase 2. The call quality/service will increase. at&t will have to try harder, to keep customers because you won't have to go there if you want an iPhone. I have been with them for 8 years, never had a problem. It will just be nice to walk into an at&t store and not have to look to see if you accidentally didn't wonder into an Apple store LOL.

  17. In conclusion on Gentlemen Prefer Androids, Ladies iOS · · Score: 1

    iPhones are for girlie men ;)

  18. stupidity on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 2

    You cannot "outlaw" stupidity. Why not take it to the next level and put everyone in inflatable suits when they drive, pack them in egg cartons. If people would take more responsibility, they wouldn't be backing over the family dog, a skateboard, fire hydrants or their kids. You know what will happen if/when they put this into play. The first person that hits something while backing up will have a hoard of lawyers knocking down their door to file a class action lawsuit.

  19. Screw em! on Saudi Arabia Bans Facebook · · Score: 1

    Eventually, the arabs will run out of oil, and other countries will have all the oil (like the huge amounts in the upper mid west, Alaska & the gulf). When those idiots run out, their "power" will disappear and they can go back to being the idiots they were until the early 20's when oil was discovered there. The west set them up with all that oil, and what have we gotten from it? 70 years of trouble!

  20. NO! on Breakthrough Portends Cure For the Common Cold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unless you have a depressed immune system, I for one would NOT want this. I think part of the problem we have today with "people getting sick" is that at the first sniffle, we are off to the doctor, "demanding" an antibiotic or something to make us feel better. Doctors are partly to blame because they use to just give in and give it to us, even though most of the time, it wasn't a bacteria problem, but a virus problem. Now, a lot of antibiotics don't work, because the little bugs have gotten use to the stuff and don't work at all. Along with that, we don't eat enough raw food...everything these days is preprocessed. We don't eat raw cooked veggies, everything comes out of a can. We don't eat home-made bread, it comes from the store. We don't get enough "natural" products to protect us against invaders. And, as much of a pain in the butt as it is, we don't let ourselves "be sick". Sometimes letting the body fight off a cold, or small virus is better than trying to beat it. It helps our immune system "buck up" and keep us healthy the next time a little invader hits us. The other thing that just gets me ticked is people NOT WASHING THEIR HANDS when they use the restroom. I see it daily...people walk in, do their business, and walk out. H*ll, didn't your momma tell you to wash up after you do your business? Nice to see that some research has found those alcohol based hand cleaners are kind of worthless. Just use a little soap and warm water. Soapbox (no pun) mode off.... I'm an outside contractor who works around a large hospital...I see a LOT of garbage that people do daily...and scary...sometimes from the medical staff!

  21. why bother on Fighting Ad Blockers With Captcha Ads · · Score: 1

    You can bet the people that figure out how to block ads, will figure a way around this. Either that, or just don't go to the sites, figure out if they have an FTP server if you need to download something, and download it the old fashion way.

  22. Instead of a cure on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Barrack Hussein Obama will fund research into making this "gene" a required thing to place into everyone, and turn the entire country into a bunch of spineless wimps, as to make it easier for him to put his anti-capitalist pro statist/socialist agenda into place.

  23. Why? Here is why on The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future · · Score: 0, Troll

    Time travel is NOT possible. You can poo-poo all of the scientific theories you want, but you cannot be in two places at the same time.

  24. in 20-25 years on 15-Year-Old Boy Fitted With Robotic Heart · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who knows what advances in medical science will reveal. Perhaps they will find some sort of genetic trigger to undo some of the effects of MD

  25. And people thought on White House Pressuring Registrars To Block Sites · · Score: 1

    BUSH was the bad guy??? Betcha if Hussein Obama gets his way, you'll REALLY see some websites disappear by the 2012 election. That is if we haven't run him out of town for running the country into the ground.
