  1. The $200 Billion Broadband Scandal.. on How Washington Will Shape the Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Anyone read about this scandal here through Teletruth ? This is both shocking and makes me sick. Why hasnt the government done ANYTHING for high speed internet at a relatively fair price? Why is it that we lack innovation in this area? In most places that either have DSL or cable you usually have a few DSL providers but hardly ever if any, but one choice if you go the cable route. I have Comcast and there isnt any cable company within 25 miles of here I get 5 mbps down and 386k up for $42.95 a month. Either i want the 45 mbps or i want a check for $2,000 US as stated from a low estimate of how much we have paid in but have got nothing in return..

  2. What about Tombraider? on The Ten Greatest Years in Gaming · · Score: 1

    i cant read the article b/c the mirror wont even work but i assume that the article doesnt mention tombraider.. circa 1996 or so.. gosh that game was a milestone is gaming history. I know not all the titles were good.. Angel of Darkness was abysmal but the franchise was a hit and the latest release, although a bit short is nothing to be sneezed at and hopefully will revitalize the franchise.

  3. Re:That's Congress for you on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 0, Troll

    i know this site is more liberal than conservative and i dont mind being a minority on here but i think we can all agree that this piece of legislation is crucial to new technologies and ultimately the user. Plus its always nice to put a slap in the face of the rich when they are all for this because they want to richer. I think we can also agree that right now on both sides of the aisle equally, that congress is running the shottiest outfit this side of Mars run by the Mafia and money grubbers.

  4. One quote disturbs me... on House Committee Approves 'Net Neutrality' Bill · · Score: 5, Insightful

    on another link spilling this news over on Daily Tech that reads and i quote. [quote] Interestingly, the members of the committee that supported the bill said that they voted for the bill because existing competition to another bill that was already approved by a different committee. The decision to support the current bill they said, had nothing to do with actual concerns on the future of the Internet and what net neutrality is all about. [/quote]

    existing competition? what competition? if they arent going to decided on these important issues then why the hell are they there in the first place? 3rd rate politics all the way will always reign until someone with some balls and backbone will let their common sense be heard and voted on, rather than dancing around the issue.

  5. Is there a patent on how to get a patent yet?? on U.S. Supreme Court Deals a Blow to Patent Trolls · · Score: 1

    what about a patent on thinking yet?

    that way if someone tries to get a new patent, you will be infringing on my patent of thinking and my patent on how to get a patent since you had to think to come up with a new way of technology and then a patent for it. i guess its time to apply for that..

  8. Tomb Raider coulda been good on DOA Coming to the Theater Near You · · Score: 1

    but they went completely off the mark of anything thats related to the video game...except that angelina does look similar to lara croft. the only feasible good part of both movies is that in the first one they are in the hidden cave with the shiva that they have to fight. everything else was inaccuarate, poor acting, and horrible looking stage models.

  9. Americans should be outraged on Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All Americans should be especially outraged, considering that these corporations got FREE SUBSIDIES from our tax dollars to lay down all that cable. That's right, all that cable, we paid for it with our money..our tax dollars..now they want to continue to be greedy and get more from the government and the people.

    The good news is forces such as MS, Google and etc. are major shareholders as well and have clout. Its all about the money, nothing more. Screw the customer. If congress and the White House are looking for a riot, they sure did pick one.. just waiting to happen.

  23. Re:Nice deal on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    so me where it says merger?? i only see an acquisition of stocks..nothing about a merger. the offices and such of Pixar will remain at the same locations of business and JObs is now on the Board of Directors..this is more like Pixar taking over Disney(in a sense), at least all of the animation parts. there is nothing mentioned of a merger.. just an acquisition of stocks.

  24. Re:Nice deal on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 2, Informative

    don't worry too much. Pixar tends to make movies that, umm... sell really damn well BECAUSE they are created by people with talent. That is why Disney bought them. And don't forget, for almost the entire existance of Pixar, they have been in a strategic relationship with Disney, and Pixar was making great movies then.

    I am encouraged that this is a "stock buyout" and not a merger. The difference being that in a merger, A buys B and B dissapears. In a stock buyout, A buys B and both remain as different operating entities but they are a singular financial entity. This means that the CEO of Disney probably has very limited power if no power at all over Pixar. Only the board of directors have power over Pixar.

  25. Re:Who ate whom here? on Pixar Eaten by Mickey Mouse · · Score: 1

    so is the Pixar name now gone? or will it just be the Disney logo on the movies and no mention of Pixar? will it be Disney Animation Studios, since the studios wont be moved or will the building now read Pixar?
