  1. Re:Alas poor segway, I knew him not so well on Segway UK Boss Dies After Driving Off Cliff · · Score: 1

    I don't think it would have been so bad if the damn thing was affordable to anyone but the rich who have 4000 to 7000 to throw away on one.

    Must be part of the Catholic Church's model of "Do what I say not what I do" policy.

    It's not that people don't want to help "Joe the Bum" But people are getting sick of "Joe the Bum" depending on the "helping" instead of getting a JOB!

  4. Re:Good god... on Tool Use By Humans Pushed Back By 800,000 Years · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Some still believe that it's unadulterated truth even though it's obvious that the bible is a book written by "man" for "man" to control "man"..... The whole purpose of the Catholic church is about control of the unwashed masses.

  5. Re:Partisan politics is immature bigotry. on Senate Approves the ______Act Of____ · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's not due to "A black guy" in office. It's due to this "PARTICULAR" black guy.. The same "black guy" that doesn't want any of his past opened up to the public. The same "black guy" who's origin of birth is publicly unknown. The same "black guy" who has appointed several criminals as his czars. Yeah.. that "black guy"! I for one think that a "black guy" could do really good in office.. Just not the current "black guy" in office.

  6. Re:Wow... on How Star Trek Artists Imagined the iPad... 23 Years Later · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Multiple PADDs would be to them like multiple monitors are to many of us. As for why they don't just transfer the info from one PADD to another, it could be a "laziness" factor. Instead of transfering the info, opening the "file" on the other PADD then going to the section of info that they are talking about it's easier to just hand them the PADD with the info already displayed. Also... for the viewer it wouldn't be too much excitement to watch them hitting buttons to transfer the info, download, open etc.... to much other plot to get to before the commercial.

    Because some "dummy" will want to know where "You" got your "facts" from? I do give you credit for at least posting your sources... Oh i mean, source.

    50 years? Hell they've been fighting over there since the first one learned how to pick up a stick and hit something with it. I say we pull everything out of there, rely on our own oil in the US/Alaska. Let them fight and kill themselves off and Allah gets to sort out who gets what virgins and how many.

  12. Re:I'm puzzled on Chevy Volt Not Green Enough For California · · Score: 1

    I see part of the problem is how complicated cars have become to maintain. I'm no mechanic but 50 years ago... hell, 30 years ago, a guy or gal could litterally take their car apart and rebuild it with very few specialized tools needed. These days, cars are built to be only repaired by "qualified auto technicians" with special... i.e. proprietary tools. Car manufacturers deliberately make cars hard to work on compared to previous generations. If you get a chance, take a look under the hood of a 50's/60's era car and then under the hood of a modern day car. Notice that in the older cars there's tons of room under the hook, hell guys used to sit inside and work on the engine.....

    Remember the good old days when only smart people used computers and they hid the power button in back? Some of my favorite games were the text games where you had to type in what you wanted to do... no mouse, just white and black screen (or amber and black or green and black).
    Walk left

    Put water in glass.

    Hobby Town and Radio Shack used to be "Hobby Shops" but now Hobby Town is a little toy store and Radio Shack is a cell phone shop with really not much of anything else.... Very sad indeed.

    On machines that I deal with regularly, I do a full install, update and patch, install all needed drivers, Turn off swap space, defrag, clear out all cache and temp files, then do a full ghost of the drive. Data such as music an pictures are kept on a separate partition/drive. The ghost usually takes about 10 minutes to restore.

    Very interesting that you said that. I was thinking something similar. Have you ever listened to some of the Animaniacs songs. They are quite interesting and make for easy remembering of stuff. Take for instance the US. Presidents, 50 states and Nations of the world.
