  1. Look at it this way on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 0, Troll

    $100 billion for space-based research or $100 billion for Welfare and War.

    Not really a touch decision.

  2. hit the skids already? on Has Christopher Nolan Turned the 3D Argument? · · Score: 1

    We can only hope.

    After seeing Avatar and Alice in Wonderland in 3D I can honestly say I don't think it gets much more hokey than that.

    VLC would disagree with that.

    They are *not* locking down OSX. You will still be able to get apps anywhere you want.

    No it's a single drive. You can't buy the naked 3gb drive from seagate, but you can buy it already installed in various devices.

  6. good reason to get rid of people on New Fish Species Discovered 4.5 Miles Under the Ocean · · Score: 0, Troll

    these, and many other species, will be gone in few years. we need to significantly reduce the worlds population, starting now.

    That doesn't mean kill the already living, but restrict reproduction to no more than one child per couple, no exceptions. Perhaps even give a subsidy to those are willing to stay childfree.

  7. Re:They need a better spokesperson on Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No, I never said "not listen". I read and have read wikileaks and, for the most part, it does a great service. I have read editorials by Assange. I've seen interviews. I can form my own opinions without the help of CNN.

    Piss off.

  8. They need a better spokesperson on Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can get behind Wikileaks, but not Assange. He is egotistical tool.

  9. Re:All we ask for is a simple "opt-in",nothing mor on FCC Will Tackle Cell Phone 'Bill Shock' · · Score: 1

    AT&T is willing to turn off data on a phone if you ask. Unfortunately it disables MMS as well, though you can still get SMS.

    Anon is a semi-organized sack of worthless.

    Yes the front and back of the iphone 4 are glass.

    They did offer other brands of cases. I got a free speck branded case for my iphone 4 via their free case program.

  13. Re:Ideally on Newspaper Endorses the Candidate It's Suing Over Copyright · · Score: 1

    As long as the staff of the paper is not doing the endorsing, that is fine. Many times the editor uses the editorial section to endorse a candidate which is just as bad.

    Newspaper staff shouldn't be using the newspaper as a vehicle to spread their endorsements.

  14. Re:Ideally on Newspaper Endorses the Candidate It's Suing Over Copyright · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ideally, the newspaper should be reporting the news and not endorsing anybody.

    I don't want to firewall every damn device on my LAN when I can throw up a single firewall at the choke point.

  18. Re:old hardware, probably on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hard drive, maybe. That can be easily replaced. I haven't seen a full system failure (motherboard, power supply, etc.) in years.

  19. Re:old hardware, probably on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There are few reasons to upgrade hardware anymore unless you are a gamer or do ultra high end work. There hasn't been anything worthy since the introduction of the c2d. I have a 2008 unibody macbook and will most likely stick with this for the next several years.

    I maintain the computers for most of my family. All are running XP and have no intention of upgrading hardware or the OS anytime soon. Most are running XP on core 2 duos or Pentium 4s.

    I tried Firefox sync but it's not quite as good and it's not cross-browser.

    Sorry for the typos. Posting from my mobile.

  23. Re:Acetaminophen on Govt To Bomb Guam With Frozen Mice To Kill Snakes · · Score: 1

    That is true. Very few people OD from OTC from acetaminophen. It usually comes from Lortab, Percocet, Lorcet, etc. A lot of MD's moved to Norco x/325 or Percocet x/325 after the acetaminophen studies came out a few months back.

    It takes >4 grams/day to overdose. It's far from "ridiculously easy". You can have 8 extra-strength Tylenol in a day and still be okay. /pharmicist
