  1. Walk of Game? on Walk of Game Honors Industry Paragons · · Score: 1

    Is this supposed to appeal to the Engrish crowd?

  2. Re:Gotta take the bad with the good sometimes... on Intelligent Transportation Systems · · Score: 1

    I would rather put the money into making the cars smart enough to drive anywhere and let the roads be dumb.

    Autonomous ground vehicles will never be permitted in public spaces thanks to liability concerns. There simply isn't anyone, government included, willing (or able) to accept the ample responsibility.

  3. Re:Military leadership requires Moral leadership on Submit and Moderate Questions for Bush and Kerry · · Score: 1

    If we are going to be the military leader, economic leader, and world leader, we should also be the moral leader. To regain moral leadership the international community must trust us again.

    The problem with the whole discussion is that military, economic, even "world" leadership are all measured quantities. Morality, however, is always relative in a non-religious context -- the goal of acheiving universal moral leadership is ridiculous.

    How do we reconcile the morality of radical Islam with the morality of France?

  4. Re:Yay for the little guy?!!!! BZZZZZT! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now, if he had self-published, set up a website and sold his own DVDs, now that would be worth trumpeting.

    Sadly, if he did that, few would have the opportunity to share in even a "corporatized" version of his vision simply because all the trumpeting in the world isn't enough to reach the masses.

    It's all about distribution.

  5. Re:Lots of issues on Atari To Release Old Games and New Console System · · Score: 1

    Not sure if it is Mattel, but somebody did -- one of those all-in-a-joystick (or controller in this case) things, with about twenty +/- games built-in.

  6. Re:Hmmm... on The Underground History of American Education · · Score: 1

    Precisely.

    What does it matter? All the students will be going elsewhere -- to better schools.

  7. Re:Terminology on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...who has a friggin PENTABYTE??

    Ah, the irony.

  8. Re:Treatment was prompt on Interview With Chernobyl Engineer · · Score: 1

    286% more money 1-2% average longer life?
    That last year is often so fulfilling too. Are you sure your stats really argue your point?

  9. Re:Wow, what a load..... on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Didn't they go bankrupt only after Apple decided against continuing to license the MacOS?

  10. Re:The reason I chose the PC over Apple... on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 1

    That is pretty much the point of the article.
    Apple produces a product (hardware and software) that is of a quality higher than many people are willing to pay for.

  11. Re:Please explain... on PHP Not Moving To The GPL · · Score: 1

    It encourages good citizenship...

    Not so much encourages it but demands it.

  12. Re:could this be used to remotely strangle.... on Sculpting Interface Prototype · · Score: 1

    why not both?

  13. Re:Monitors have lead - please recycle on Office Depot Wants to Recycle Your Old Computer · · Score: 1

    There are only two or three companies nationwide, capable of "safely salvaging" lead from monitors. Not surprisingly, they fund the political campaigns of those who voted to eliminate the disposal of monitors in landfills.

    As someone else has already pointed out, the fact that the legislation does not include leaded glass (crystal glasswear), among other things, calls into question the integrity of those involved and their ultimate motivations.

  14. Re:$5.8 M is peanuts, maybe even peanut dust on Army Contractor To Build A 1566 Xserve Cluster · · Score: 1

    about 50%.

  15. Re:Oh come on now on Bioterrorism Charges Brought Against Professor · · Score: 1

    Since when is "doing your own research" not "bona fide research, or other peaceful purpose"? A little reading comprehension please.

  16. Re:You're an idiot. on Apple to Award Workgroup Clusters to Scientists · · Score: 1

    "Applicant" refers to the person submitting the application (scientists) rather than those who review the application (Apple).
