  1. Is it established now, Luna was created by impact? on Earth's Moon is a Rarity · · Score: 1

    I thought it wasn't all that established that Luna was created from Tellus. According to the article it makes that assumption... How strange.

  2. Re:Huge blind spots when driving on Where Are the Flying Cars? · · Score: 1

    So leave the licening to the people who are competent, ie. not the government but people operating in the private sector. Such a scheme of insurance will have someone's lively hood at stake if they get bad reputation and by the logic of it will make a much greater job of keeping the necessary areas where "license" is in demand controlled.

  3. Re:Lazy Kids ! on Gen Y Tech Savvy, But Not Interested in a Career · · Score: 1

    Also to not forget lawyers usually starts right out lying with the first words they utter and then every word thereafter. I truly don't understand how they can sleep at night.

  4. Re:LOVE Bionic Commando on Bionic Commando Returns · · Score: 1

    It is sad, no neo-nazis and no resurrected hitler in this new sequal... How could they be so stupid to not have the nazis included? Dang, I doubt I want this game just because it doesn't follow the nazi theme from the original Japanese version. Hopefully in Japan, they will still be playing against nazis, but I doubt it!

  5. Re:conditions outside the body on Germs Taken Into Space May Come Back Deadlier · · Score: 1

    Lets not forget that the mutation can only work on what has previously been established. Limiting mutations in a very strict sense unlike paradigm shifts that can occur in human culture.

  6. Re:The main disadvantage on What Are the Advantages/Disadvantages of Game Schools? · · Score: 1

    Which is really odd considering if you are a top notch graphic coder or network coder you are ought to know more than just one thing or two. Game development is hardly the easiest field a programmer can go into.

  7. Re:Oh boo hoo on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 1

    I don't agree... People don't go out an buy things they don't know exists. Advertisement primary objective for new products with no past exposure is to inform people that the product is available for purchase.

  8. Re:Precious Irony on Will the Pope Declare Google Evil? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yes because coercivly extracting assets and resources from people against their will(taxes) is completly moral and good... What? Since when did violence become part of the good?

  9. Re:When is the last time Dvorak... on The Downsides of Software as Service · · Score: 1

    For a multi-national company with litterary tens of thousands of computers. Buying a software and installing it on all computers is a huge process.

  10. Re:email IS text messaging on Kids Say Email is Dead · · Score: 1

    Yes in japan, you use e-mail on the cell phones instead of text messages. Sending out to computers or recieve from computers works excellent and you have a weird standarized e-mail adress(randomletters (at) whateverservice.co.jp). You can use text messages for intra-service provider communication but whatever.

  11. Re:and you thought maine was only for lobsters! on Maine Passes a Net Neutrality Resolution · · Score: 1

    And so it has begun... The regulation of the internet, this doesn't bode well!

  12. Re:Hm, I've got a pretty good idea... on Who Isn't Afraid of Google? · · Score: 1

    Natural monopolies is an oxymoron... What people here seems to call a monopoly is just a big market share. If the company fucks up somewhere sometime they will easily be overpowered by their competitors. Just look at Sony's Playstation. I think it is reasonable to say by that defintition that console producing companies had monopolies on the market, yet there was competitors. Competitors equals the monopoly void. A monopoly is when there is no competitors. Microsoft isn't a monopoly, there was/is BeOS, Linux and Unix of all flavours, mac, OS/2 and so on and so on. Anyone have the choice to voluntary choose whatever software to run on their computer and will do so if Microsoft fucks up. Like the surge to Linux we have seen since Vista was released.

  13. Re:Hm, I've got a pretty good idea... on Who Isn't Afraid of Google? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No worry about the the company or the seeming monopoly. It is not a monopoly and as soon as as any market leader reduces customer happiness competition grows. Monopoly can only be achieved through the means of the forcefull regulations and banning of competition by the state createing a monopoly. Google is no monopoly and I could at any time without fear of jail or death create my own search engine and compete or just use it for myself.

  14. Re:That pretty much nails it on the head. on Taxes, Second Life and Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Darn, I was just about to write a game purely for business meetings and deal makings so that exchange of goods wouldn't be taxed :)

  15. Re:Why should they? on Blogger Vs. Journalist — Access Denied · · Score: 1

    I find mainstream journalists to be even crappier. Don't consume their shit anymore as today's journalisms is as corrupt(As in database corruption id est not working) as something can be. I much rather find my information from better sources one which include amateur journalists.

  16. Re:About the title... on Organism Survives 100 Million Years Without Sex · · Score: 1

    Not at all... One of the rules of the internet is that there are no women on the internet, hence proof by conduction says that you are a hermaphrodite or a male decieving us.

  17. Re:Paradigm != field of study on How Scientific Paradigms Relate · · Score: 1

    Also this map is severly flawed by axiom as the categorization can not be scientifically defined. Hence it's cool although potentially very innacurate.

  18. Re:Raised eyebrows... on Scientists Say Nerves Use Sound, Not Electricity · · Score: 1

    Well considering that molecules are pumped in and out from the interior. Sound is a wave in concentration of a substance. Molecules pumped in or out would probably push others aside and create a pressure wave or in other words sound.

    But from what I can remember you can induce a signal by an electric pulse as well so this doesn't sound plausible.

  19. Re:OH NOES!!! on Bush Claims Mail Can Be Opened Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    Well it is actually true because USA has declared Status of National Emergency in 4th of march 1933 but never undeclared. And under a National Emergency the jurisduction of the constitution is not enforced.

  20. Re:1 Million Dollars? on Student Makes a Million Online, Gets Deported · · Score: 4, Informative

    In Japan a Student Visa legally allows you to earn 0 yen in profit made from any work or service you provide. So yeah, no wonder he was deported!

  21. Re:God on Scott Adams Suggests Bill Gates For President · · Score: 1
    I would say that 'treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself' is a concept that can be appreciated by everyone, religious or not. All other moral rules can be derived from there. However, it all comes down to game theory in the end; the only difference between theists and atheists in this respect is that theists are factoring the fear of hell into the equation.
    If I remember correct it was kong fu zhi the Chinese philosopher that said "Treat others as you would like to be treated" he also said "treat your subjects of rank as you would like your commander to treat you". In Asia, religion and philosophy is the same thing. To anyone that has faith in current religions. Why don't you have faith in other religions? To other religions you are an atheist! I just went one religion further in the evolution of sanity and finds religion to be stupidity manifested itself. Specially considering how irrational people does shit to other people without remorse or regrets.
  22. Re:Government? on YouTube Finds Signing Rights Deals Frustrating · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I find American produced media to be utterly crap! Obviously US are doing something wrong... The thing is that USA has lots of people which equals more profit so it can produce more media. But I assure you the common man has no use of the copyright.

  23. Re:even the linux experts get tired. on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    It is also time to get all games made for Intel Architecture to work in Linux out of the box. Otherwise people will never change. Especially not people that want to play games without any problems.

  24. Re:Why is Second Life getting all this buzz now? on 3D Weather Data Visualization in Second Life · · Score: 1

    This is a joke news, right? The service is the lousiest weather service I have ever seen in my life. No detail whatsoever about the weather and the 3D representation doesn't add any detail neither. It serves no purpose.

  25. Re:Hardly surprising on Who Cares If Privacy Is Slipping Away? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There seems to be a few people that do care. I just stumbled upon The Free State Project which at least gives me hope. Maybe I even join them and emmigrates to New Hampshire.
