  1. Re:The entire credit history thing is stupid on Banks Using Mobile Phone Usage To Gauge Credit Risk · · Score: 1

    Maybe if people had kids after they got married and were a bit more financially secure and saved up some money this wouldn't be the issue. How much does a box of condoms cost? Or birth control pills? A married couple living in an apartment and driving modest cars with each making 50k a year could easily build up a nest egg of 200k in about 5 or 6 years. That would also give them long enough time to find out if they want to be with each other for the rest of their lives before dragging kids through the whole custody battle crap.

  2. Re:Scariest thing in Star Trek on Nano-Scale Terahertz Antenna May Make Tricorders Real · · Score: 2

    Don't forget that the Captain tripped into the life boat with the young blonde lady..

  3. Re:I'd start by shooting the Captain.... on What To Do With a 1,000 Foot Wrecked Cruise Ship? · · Score: 1

    Firemen, Coastguard, Officers, Emergency response people, Ship's Captains are supposed to be "heros" when it comes to disasters, emergencies etc... It's part of their job to do that which others can not or will not do. Ever heard of the term "Taking the helm?"

  5. Re:And they wonder why people pirate on Ubisoft Has Windows-Style Hardware-Based DRM For Games · · Score: 1

    Until your console system goes out and you try to run the game on your new console.. then BAM... you have to buy it again... That's when the console will have lost it's value.

  6. I can see it now.... on US Congressmen: Facebook Evading Privacy Questions · · Score: 1

    Joe Barton:- You can’t lie, so tell me Mark, where is this user?

    Mark Zuckerberg:- Uh, hmm, well, uh, I don’t know where he’s not.

    Joe Barton:- Your telling me, you don’t know where this user is?

    Mark Zuckerberg:- It wouldn’t be inaccurate to assume that I couldn’t exactly not say that it is or isn’t almost partially incorrect.

    Edward Markey:- So you do know where he is?

    Mark Zuckerberg:- On the contrary. I’m possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the idea that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that I undeniably (Eward Markey tells him “Stop it!”) do or do not know where he shouldn’t probably be, if that indeed wasn’t where he isn’t. Even if he wasn’t at where I knew he was............

  7. Re:What about subsidized phones on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    The subsidizing is just bullshit anyway.. do you really think that smart phone is worth $700.00? More than the cost of a good full blown laptop?

  8. Re:Sounds Like a Hoax Right Up Until You Read the on Paypal Orders Buyer of Violin To Destroy It For a Refund · · Score: 1

    If you take it on to Pawn Stars, Rick has a buddy that will verify it's real for free... On anything in the world..... He has a buddy to authenticate it.....

  9. Re:Good luck with that on Apple Threatens Steve Jobs Doll Maker With Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Neighbor kids... the ones that don't stand on the lawn... not offspring.

  10. Re:That's the big problem. on Teachers Resist High-tech Push In Idaho Schools · · Score: 1

    Just yesterday at Da'Vinci's, I ordered the cheese steak and a 32oz drink. The girl looked at me with a blank stare and asked which cup that was.... "Is that the small cup, the quart cup or the large cup?" And this girl was in college...... A part of me died inside when she didn't know that a quart = 32oz. I'm glad she's not my kid.

  11. Already been done. on Windows 8 To Include Built-in Reset, Refresh · · Score: 1

    I've been using this feature for years.. It's called ghost. Setup $family_member's computer, ghost the drive. In a few months when they bitch about how slow their "crappy" computer is, copy their pictures/music/docs over to an external drive and ghost the image back. It's that easy and most of the time you get lunch or dinner as a thank you.

  12. Government Pork.... on IBM Tracks Pork Chops From Pig To Plate · · Score: 1

    Now that's what they really need to be tracking...

  14. Great job! You got every question right. on Are You Better At Math Than a 4th (or 10th) Grader? · · Score: 1

    Yes I got them all right but really? This is 10th grade math? I sure hope not, these were more like 7th grade questions or even 6th.

  15. Re:It's Not ALL Bloggers on Bloggers Not Journalists, Federal Judge Rules · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Well if those qualifications are what's needed that pretty much gets rid of anyone at Fox News.

  16. Re:yes, but... on Library of Congress To Receive Entire Twitter Archive · · Score: 1

    So how do we measure the amount of data on anything as compared to the library of congress now that the size has changed?!?!? All previous measurements now have to be remeasured using the new Library of Congress size model.

    You didn't get addicted to coke because you were putting it in a bowl of hot water with a towel over your head!! Sorry man, that scene from Crocodile Dundee popped into my head... :)

    Seriously, with all the adverts for all the different reality shows that are on and coming out I would have thought there were even more than before.

  21. Re:Americans on Why America Doesn't Need More Tech Giants Like Apple · · Score: 1

    Maybe it comes from the fact that Asian leaders don't care that their people are living in bio-hazard waste zones with polluted water. Maybe it's because American people don't want to work 18+ hours a day. Maybe because American people refuse to work for $100 a month. Maybe it's because American people don't want to work for slave wages and slave conditions so some $big_company can turn a huge profit for their share holders.

    All is fun and games until someone throws a pig at it.

  23. Re:Cost benefit ratio on Tower To Be Built By Flying Robots · · Score: 1

    What would be even better is if the robots could make the building materials from what is on hand. Instead of sending a $tons of "building materials" to $planet. Have them use the landing craft as materials, cut rock, strip alien monuments etc.....

    And as a nice coincidence, there were 7 of them getting into that SUV. :)
