  1. Don't worry kids! on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    The public debt and sociopathic power structure have already destroyed your financial future, so you won't own anything that can be damaged by the scary weather!

    Happy I could help!

  4. Re:the hard part on "Brainput" Boosts Your Brain Power By Offloading Multitasking To a Computer · · Score: 2

    It's a big stretch even then. More like "computer detects state of brain, and then takes over control of a very specific task the the test subject is also doing as a part of the experiment."

  5. Re:Unless this thing is a touch display... on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    It'll be controllable from iPad/iPhone. You can do that now with the current AppleTV box. It's pretty nice, actually. Having the *TV* panel be touch makes no sense. Who sits a foot from their TV? Well, I do when gaming, but I'm weird.

    Any of these things make more sense to me than iTV. The future is in the personal wireless network.

    What percentage of the market are you?

  6. The other side of story on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    It has to be more than tech. I'm thinking there's some sort of maybe revolutionary probably evolutionary content deal.

    How about this: the Apple functionality is still a little AppleTV-like box that unplugs from the back of then TV so you can upgrade that part of it like people do with their smartphones.

    Maybe implement all the functions in reprogrammable FPGAs so you can do "hardware" updates by just reflashing the configuration PROMs.

  7. Re:That hasn't stopped Apple in the past. on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    Now's a good time to note that pretty much everyone *except* Apple has called it iTV.

  9. Re:Govt stimulus == Waste of money on West Virginia Buys $22K Routers With Stimulus, Puts Them In Small Schools · · Score: 1

    I was going to replay, but you did it better.

    Until the general public can be educated out of seeing a rich person as Scrooge McDuck with a money bin full of coins that sit there locked away forever, we are quite thoroughly doomed.

    Takes two to tango. Am I the only person left who sees the problem is the government AND the big corps? All of us out here raging against one machine or the other and at each other's throats plays right into their hands.

    Oh, you! With your silly facts and rational economic concepts. This is Slashdot. You must drink from the Derp-Aide, and call for ALL the taxes to be 100%!

  20. Re:Um on The Avengers: Why Pirates Failed To Prevent a Box Office Record · · Score: 1

    I'd call it a minor breakthrough in that it brought fun back to superhero films, especially after excruciating stuff like Superman Returns and, sorry, but the Nolan Batman films are taking themselves a tad too seriously. I *like* them, mind you, and will see the third one, but, geez, there is such a thing as brooding overload.

    The animated Under The Red Hood was a great Batman flick.

    There's a huge candy store right across the center from where I see movies. They do major business with people loading up for movies. Fancy schmancy candy shoppe, but still half what the theater charges. We try match the them of the candy to the film.

    Saw it for $10 on a gigantic screen, and anyone who buys concessions in a movie theater is an idiot or has no pockets.

    People actually watch those camcordered versions? Really? I torrented one once. I thought it was a joke. Is there a market for pirated ebooks with blurry fonts or MP3s reduced to monaural sound at 16 Kbps, too?
