  1. Re:Using existing actors is only the first step on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 1

    OK, fair enough. But do you think they are going to charge any less for a film? No.

    So where is all this extra money going to go? To orphaniges? No, to the same greedy people who run the studios and control the MPAA that we all hate, and keep extending copyrights.

    Yeah, that is a fucking brilliant idea.

  2. Re:Ethical? on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 1

    Is it ethical to out source work to India?

    Is it ethical to replace workers in factories with machines?

    Is it ethical to replace horses and there carers with cars?

    Your comment is so fucking ignorant, that I hope you are either a 12yo, or have never held a job outside of fast food.

    There are many problems with our Health system, agreed, but maybe you should learn the difference between a mass produced item, and one that is not.

    You mean you want me to become a CEO of a bank? Surely that is illegal yet?

  5. Re:MicroApple ? must be desperate... on Google Phone Could Drive Apple Into Allegiance With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Apple must be desperate if this is considered, maybe they thought to be "invincible" and they got Nokia upset, now they have Google gnawing at the heel and this is another one.

    You realise that Apple is not considering that at all, as far as anyone knows. That this is all made up by some blogger. But don't that stop you from making declarations about Apple.

    If Apple did this, then they would be stupid, as you say. Microsoft is always the far bigger enemy, and one that has proven time and time again not to be trusted. If Apple did start pulling any data from Bing, you can bet ever ad would be for Windows Mobile 7. Apple are not that stupid.

  6. Re:This makes perfect sense on Google Phone Could Drive Apple Into Allegiance With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You realise that Apple is opening up a huge datacenter in North Carolina? I think Apple has the expertise, and could easily but what they need.

    Will they, I really doubt it. As you say, the algorithms are hard, very hard. Even MS can't get close to it, though they are getting better.

  7. Re:Avoid Corn? Bahahahahahaha good luck on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    Your meat probably does have it in, since they feed corn to animals.

  8. Re:They will try anything... on What To Expect From Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 1

    So, to the average person, nothing?

    Why should I care about 64-bit, bitlocker, powershell, or anything else.

    What a joke, that should have been in a SP already, not a full OS?

    I guess you guys really like paying for new themes?

  9. Re:Cue the morons on What To Expect From Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 1

    Really, so what makes it so different to Vista? Nothing that I can see, or maybe you are easily impressed by a wallpaper and new theme.

    Ha, ha, ha, Vista? What is that, never heard of that before? You mean XP SP2 right?

    Fucking tool.

  11. Re:Pulling the trigger on What To Expect From Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have used Windows 7 and I hate it. Is that ok with you? Does everybody have to like it?

    I just want XP, it works for me, I don't have to learn new shit. I don't have to worry about them moving the control panel around.

    7 offers nothing new for me, for it to be worthwhile spendying anytime learning new stuff.

    Well it has been on techcrunch, techMeme, engadet, gizmodo, ycombinator and many more.

    Not sure what you are following?

  14. Re:Reboot how? on Spider-Man 4 Scrapped, Franchise Reboot Planned · · Score: 1

    Yes, agreed. They clearly want to ride the darkness from the last batman movie. Movie execs are scum, the lot of them (even though I hated every spiderman movie to date).

  15. Re:Reboot how? on Spider-Man 4 Scrapped, Franchise Reboot Planned · · Score: 1

    Spiderman always sucked, all the Hulks sucked, and only the last Batman was any good.

  16. Re:Good for Google. on Google Hacked, May Pull Out of China · · Score: 1

    Ha, Microsoft would never do that. MS would sell their grandmas for a chance at that Market.

  17. Re:Free trade of ideas, anyone? on Google Hacked, May Pull Out of China · · Score: 3, Funny

    Google got $300 million in revenues last year in China. Sure, that might not be as much as you earn, with your ill informed postings around the internet, but it is still a lot of money.

    I find it a bit hard to believe that you are using a laptop with notepad for 11 hours? Is this some new form of torture.

    You are right, but since he is talking about having Microsoft OS on those phones, I am pretty sure he is talking about smartphones, since Microsoft only produces OS for smartphones, not for regular mobile phones.

    He seems to be confused.

  21. Re:Droid09 is Apple shill? on Malicious App In Android Market · · Score: 1

    Paranoid much?

    And anyway, what difference does it make? Do you think it is only Apple shills who can do bad stuff here? How ignorant are you?

    Yes somehow loads of countries who didn't spend big on y2k, like Italy, managed just fine.

    You are right, but that means that ALL the money would go to the publishing companies, who have even less of a right to it than Dicks family.

    Really? I work about 8 hours a day for a company. (really about 7 hours fully) Then I work about 6 hours on my own projects. Two very differnt projects, but I can do it. I am not that special, just motivated.

    I mean, what else is there to do, watch TV, play games? These mean nothing to me.

    My neighbour claimed 10 to 12 hours studying per day. In reality I caught her more than once just staring out of the window, not really studying. For her that was part of "studying" but in reality it isn't.

    What is she was memorising stuff? Have you ever done an exam before, they are not all open book once you get past grade 5?
