  1. No possibility to remove internet? BULLSHIT! on Court To Prisoner: No Xbox 360 For You · · Score: 1

    Have you ever looked inside of an xbox 360 slim? The Wi-Fi "internet apparatus" is just connected via an internal USB port NOT built into the motherboard or anything. I've taken mine out on occasion, and the 360 works just fine without it. The Xbox 360 is rendered incapable of using Internet without plugging into a wired ethernet connection, which I doubt they would give prisoners access to and could easily be gummed up with epoxy anyway. With no Wi-Fi or ethernet, how the hell can it access the Internet? If it can't access the Internet, then he should be able to play the video game console, just like the pre-Internet consoles other inmates have enjoyed. Then again, the link is to a Google translated document. To summarize: 1) Take apart the slim 2) Remove the usb card 3)

  2. Re:Progress on this front is good on Antibody Discovered To Boost HIV Vaccines · · Score: 2, Funny

    Incidentally, condoms work so well at preventing HIV from spreading that if everyone used them, the propagation rate of HIV would likely be dropped below a sustainable level, and AIDS would disappear. In Nevada brothels that use condoms, HIV rates are quite low.

    I would agree with this statement. If everybody used condoms, then I could say the same thing about the propagation of pregnancy rates. If everybody used them, humans would likely be dropped below a sustainable level, and would disappear!

  3. Re:I don't understand the Army's interest in this on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 1

    If experience has taught me anything, it's that all people that play video games all day and get really good at these games are not army material. They're a lot like the comic book guy from the simpsons, could you imagine him fighting for the army?

  4. Any specs released about Nintendo DS? on E3 Wrapup Documented · · Score: 1

    Where's the good stuff? I want to know *everything* about the hardware. I want to know the resolution of both screens, the levels of sensitivity of the touch screen, the proc speeds, whether or not you can run both CPUs at the same time, RAM size and type, and all the other cool stuff.

  5. Re:Don't Eat At Domino's, And Not Because Of The F on Pizza From the Command Line · · Score: 1

    That's a relief, now I can actually buy dominos pizza and not feel bad about it!

  6. Re:Don't Eat At Domino's, And Not Because Of The F on Pizza From the Command Line · · Score: 1

    I'm now considering never ordering pizza from dominos ever again! Dominos is the best pizza place nearby, though. There is a pizza hut (sucks), a jet city (expensive), and dominos (founded by a bigot) within a 5 block radius, so it's going to be tough not to buy from them. Keep spreading the word, for if you didn't, I wouldn't have known that I was indirectly funding anti-gay organizations. It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another thing to actually express this opinion, and yet another thing to actually take action. According to you, this guy is *actively* trying to prevent you from gaining rights (which IMO you should have in the first place) and possibly supporting removal of rights you already posess, which is definitely more than an opinion. It really is so sad that many of the people with money and/or power turn out to be complete assholes.

  7. Time to do what people do best, COMPLAIN! on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    I think that we should organize a petition to keep whatever shows/actors we like. I personally think that "Invent this" and "Big Thinkers" were great shows that deserve a chance to live.

  8. Limits to calculation my ass! on Calculating A Theoretical Boundary To Computation · · Score: 1

    OK, consciousness might be finite, but how do you explain human stupidity? That's pretty damn infinite to me!

  9. Way to jinx it, Micro$oft. on Has The Xbox Failed In Japan? · · Score: 1

    Ten bucks says that Square/Enix is now twice as unlikely to make games for Microsoft, because they mentioned them caving in to Microsoft.
