  1. Re:lol on MIT Grad To Make Digital "SixthSense" Open Source · · Score: 1

    Just a thought, Maybe if you sold one of those things you made instead of giving it away you would have enough money to not worry about making your rent or what your manager expects. As an added bonus you would have more time to develop even more incredible things. Giving everything away only works when you are already wealthy it is not a long term plan for success. Pride doesn't pay the bills.

  2. Re:So Impeach Him on Computerized Election Results With No Election · · Score: 5, Informative

    They did exactly what their constitution called for and removed him from office after their Supreme Court decided he had violated their constitution. That should have been the end of the story but everyone wants to call it a coup which it wasn't. The leader of his own party called for his ouster.

  3. Re:Sad to see him go, never thought about this asp on Charlton Heston's Impact On Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    There is some good new sci-fi out, John Scalzi's Old Man's War and the 2 sequels were very good and also David Drake's Daniel Leary series was very entertaining. Also some of the newer Sci fi movies are not bad at all. Fifth Element,Serenity, Stargate SG1 and of course Futurama is absolutely essential for any sci fi fan.

    Was the 15K on the Gross or the Net?

  5. Re:Look at the Source on Mercury Contamination Vs. Energy-Efficient Lightbulbs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You have a very strange idea about what is criminal. So presenting an opposing viewpoint from the doom and gloom hysteria in the main stream media is a crime? He presents very well thought out and documented arguments. You may well disagree with him,judge the evidence yourself ...Don't like what he's saying counter it with better arguments. I am also tired of the hackneyed argument that because someone ever had anything to do with an industry they are somehow disqualified from speaking about it. For being a somewhat scientific forum we have more dogma than any five religions combined. http://www.junkscience.com/ Don't let anyone do your thinking for you

  6. At last - Artists stop subsidizing ticket brokers on Music Downloads = Expensive Concerts? · · Score: 1

    What we are seeing is the Artists will finally stop subsidizing ticket brokers. There really was no reason to charge 50 dollars for a face value ticket that the ticket brokers were going to sell for 500 dollars anyway. Why have a middleman at all. It is simple economics, I don't like paying the high dollars either but as long as someone is willing to spend it they will keep charging it.
