  1. Interesting, but... on Wireless Electricity Set to Power Village · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can feel my brain warming already.

  2. It worked for SGA elections at my college... on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    ...but there were mass emails involved to raise awareness, with convenient hyperlinks in the emails. Unless everyone is given a government-supplied email address that they would check regularly, it's not going to be all that convenient.

    I'm sure it would help the problem quite a bit, but not like it did at my school. And as many said, there are bound to be problems with hackers and such. I suppose requiring Social Security numbers when votingm might help, but I'm sure there are ways around that, too.

  3. Re:Moving Mt. Fuji? on How Would You Move Mount Fuji? · · Score: 1

    There's also the Somebody Else's Problem (SEP) field option, if you just don't feel like moving it.

  4. Ooh... on New Trailer for The Hulk · · Score: 1

    This looks a lot better than the previous trailers. The Hulk scenes look more realistic than in the previous long trailer, and it looks like they might make it a character study of sorts. I hope it's good.

    And what was wrong with Daredevil? Sure it felt a little short and cheesy, but I really liked it!

  5. Re:At least this won't stifle innovation. on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Thank you. You stated that more concisely and clearly than I could. I've lived in and around Nashville my whole life. I'm considering at least attending this hearing tomorrow, as I won't have classes. I'm at a university that is home to much technology research, including robotics projects sponsored by NASA and DARPA. It has been my experience that rednecks and hillbillies can be found in virtually every state. Their accents may be different, as might be their general lifestyle. But they exist, and I hate the constant profiling of my state as a hillbilly haven. It is simply not that. I've made it this far without name-calling, so I think I'll stop.

  6. The cheese... it's everyhere! on Old-school Nerdy Comics · · Score: 1

    "We're proud of you son! Real proud!"
    "And we'll be waiting for you when you get out of that rehabilitation center!"

    Oh, and first post? Maybe...

  7. Re:This is like cable rates. . . on Pew Internet Project Study on Internet Non-Users · · Score: 1

    I'm in a similar situation. My family has never had cable TV, but we've been subscribing to DSL Internet access for just over two years now (and have had some form of Internet access since the mid-90s). I also have a friend whose family had Internet access but no cable until just a couple years ago. I'm not sure how common this is, though.

  8. Re:I don't know about your eyes on Parallel Universes Are Real · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's 10^(10^1.42)

  9. Re:CRAP!!! on HD DVD Coming Very Soon · · Score: 1

    My Athlon 1.53GHz was having trouble playing the sample, even the lower bitrate ones. Of course I "only" have 512MB PC2100, but I figured I should have been able to handle it. Oh well. Looks like I'll need a new computer before I can watch Ultra-Mega-Ultimate Edition T2.
