  1. Re:Just one more reason to enact the FairTax on IRS Leaves Taxpayer Data Largely Unprotected · · Score: 1

    keep in mind that the IRS doesn't create the tax laws, they merely handle the paperwork and try to make sure that people follow the laws. If you disagree with the tax laws, blame your representatives. As for the IRS being punished, it happens.

  2. Re:HMmmmm on FreeBSD Based Gaming Router · · Score: 1

    but it's so much more fun and satisfying to build it yourself.

  3. Re:Almost the exact same volume as the iPod Shuffl on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    actually, I can... unless they are encoded at a high bitrate. What's nice about Vorbis is that it you can get get equal or better quality at a lower bitrate.

  4. Re:Why the moon? on NASA Policy Includes Mars, Moon Missions · · Score: 1

    sending more and better robots would be a lot cheaper...

  5. save energy? on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    the more daylight we have the less energy we use? WTF? changing our clocks WILL NOT change the amount of time the sun is up. why do we even have daylight savings? cant we just pick one time zone and stick with it?

  6. Re:pineapple? on Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research · · Score: 1

    guess I'm screwed then... atheist and darwinist to the core.

  7. Re:This is bull on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 2, Informative

    try to remember... sex IS a physical act, it is not love. Love and sex are two very different things. They can compliment each other, and indeed are much more enjoyable together, but you CAN have one without the other.

  8. Re:This is bull on GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas · · Score: 1

    you're missing the point. The sex mini game was NOT in the game... people had to (illegally?) HACK their game to enable it. A kid playing it on his PS2 or Xbox has no way to access it without doing something illegal. And even if he was able to access it, why were his parents letting him play an M rated game in the first place? Again, parents are just trying to avoid having to parent.

  9. pineapple? on Possible Breakthroughs in Cancer and AIDS Research · · Score: 1

    Well this sucks, I HATE pineapples! any chance of a pill form?

  10. Re:The Russian court has got see reason, here. on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 1

    I'd like to think that if this DOES go to trial, that it would be a great opportunity to prove in court that astrology is merely superstition, and is NOT based on science.

  11. Re:A billion isn't unreasonable on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I was pretty sure that he meant the video game industry in general would reach 1 billion people, NOT just the xbox 360. He was trying to express how huge this industry was going to get, and that they would be a large part of it.

  12. Re:Well, funny and all but..... on Email Worse Than Marijuana For Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    whatever happened to limiting the amount of time your child can spend on given activities? I remember not being allowed to use the tv or game system for more than an hour or two a day. Children need limits, and parents are the one who MUST give provide them. It's part of parenting.

  13. why? on Human Hibernation on the Horizon? · · Score: 5, Funny

    why? oh why did it have to be THAT molecule?

  14. joke? on Wearing Shoes Bad For your Health? · · Score: 1

    this is just ridiculous... the ONLY way to control obesity is to take in fewer calories than you burn in your daily life. EAT LESS AND EXERCISE MORE! it works.

  16. Re:Fantasy and reality on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

    WOW! a parent who actually parents! Seriously, tell your friend he was right... I too feel odd when playing violent games around children, and just turn the machine off, and I just TURNED 30! These games are NOT for children, they were designed for children, they are not marketed to children, they even have a warning label with a rating! The problem lies with parents who don't care about their children, NOT with the games.

  17. Re:uh on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 1

    it seems that the things you love about the DS are the things I hate with a passion. I love where the sticks are on the controller-s, it just feels so much more natural. and the shoulder buttons, that's my main gripe. I LOVE the triggers on the controller-s, they feel like more like real triggers. I'm not a sony hater, I used to admire the dualshock, but once I started using the controller-s, I never went back. also, the dualshock just feels so, I dont know, it feels too small. but again, my main gripe is the shoulder buttons. it's incredibly uncomfortable to use all 4.

  18. uh on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I never really cared for the dualshock anyways... to be honest, the controller-s that comes with the xbox is probably the most comfortable controller I've used. I wish the article said more about the issue. What was it about the Dualshock that caused the violation?

  19. Re:really? on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    of course a science guy would know these topics... who would know them better?

  20. what pain? on Needle Free Injections With Microjets · · Score: 1

    I still dont understand the fear of needles... I ALWAYS watch with fascination when I get an injection or have blood drawn. Just watch it go in, there's nearly no pain at all. maybe I should be a phlebotomist.

  21. Re:Sex over IP ? on Scientists Discover What You Are Thinking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that would include stimulating your brain, not just reading it... possibly more than just your brain

  22. revolution on Scientists Discover What You Are Thinking · · Score: 5, Funny

    is this nintendo's "revolution"? doubt it but this open up many possibilities I would be afraid to use it for driving... I see someone attractive walking on the side of the road and the car turns towards her and runs her over! would be useful for entertainment though, in addition to helping people with physical disabilities of course...

  23. finally on World's First Fuel-Cell Motorcycle · · Score: 1

    maybe this will eventually put an end to the annoyance of those damn harleys... I HATE when they ride by, it's hard to think of anything more annoying than a loud motorcycle.

    ahhh... but does the Higgs Boson actually exist? sorry, been reading too much...

  25. a way to purchase? on Blockbuster Sued Over Late Fees Claim · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm thinking that if they priced it right, this could be one way to sell dvd's and games. You can rent all you want, if you like it, keep it.
