  1. when the infrastructure and software was complete on The Billion Dollar Startup: Inside Obama's Campaign Tech · · Score: 5, Funny

    Obama turned to his team and said..."you didn't build that!"
    I keed, I keed.... :)

  2. PC gaming without a PC? on Valve's SteamBox Gets a Name and an Early Demo at CES · · Score: 1

    The problem I have with PC gaming is I've been using a Mac since 2007. There aren't many games for the Mac (although it's improving) and I won't buy an additional PC just for gaming. Enter my game console. :)

  3. false logic on Valve's SteamBox Gets a Name and an Early Demo at CES · · Score: 1

    Only that $800 machine you talk about was more like $1,500+ back in 2005 when the XBOX 360 came out. I remember...I did the compare before buying my XBOX in 2005. And and you will have spent money upgrading it since then...it wouldn't be able to play some new games...even on low settings. My XBOX will still play new games for at least 3 yrs.

    PC gaming is fine, but it's definitely more costly.

    I understand that we've discussed latency a thousand times.........but I'm just now understanding.

  5. Re:And still no death penalty for rape on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: 1

    exactly.
    One involves murder and torture.
    The other involves non-consenting sex.

  6. Re:And still no death penalty for rape on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: -1, Troll

    In what way is cutting off someone's genitals proportional to rape? That's a pretty brutal response.

    Instead, rape the raper, film it, and post it to the internet. That would be an eye for an eye.

    BTW...there's a big difference between what happened in India which was violent and evil with the intent to harm/kill which went far beyond rape vs the kind of rape that involves having sex with a passed out girl.

  7. Re:Nope, ain't happening on Valve's SteamBox Gets a Name and an Early Demo at CES · · Score: 1

    and that's the problem...
    $200 for an xbox that will last 5+ yrs
    or
    $800+ on a PC that will last ??

  8. inside job on Microsoft R&D Burgled: Only Apple Products Stolen · · Score: 1

    It was surely an inside job. Maybe they thought it wouldn't be as bad for their co-workers if they only stole the Apple stuff.

  10. Re:I wonder what feels worse on Teens Drug Parents To Get Web Access · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That they had a home drug test that was able to test whatever drugs they were given is already pretty telling. Seems like there were other problems...

  11. it's called learning... on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    When we see nations around us performing better than us in some measure, the smart man observes and attempts to learn from their behavior.

  12. Re:Mommy... on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    With this logic, I would say that you have the "right" to not pay taxes...although it doesn't make much difference in the end.

  13. Re:Mommy... on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    You say....

    The newspaper is looking to demonize people exercising their rights. Fuck them.

    ...but isn't the newspaper also just exercising their right to free speech and their right to public information via the freedom of information act?

    Perhaps those rights should be limited...or overruled for the greater public safety...but as it stands...both groups are exercising their rights. I guess there shouldn't be any expectation of privacy for any government related information these days.

  14. epidemic? on Africa's Coming Cyber-Crime Epidemic · · Score: 2

    Why is Africa always having epidemics?

  16. in other news... on 2012 Another Record-Setter For Weather, Fits Climate Forecasts · · Score: 4, Funny

    on the bright side..."end of the world" forecasts were proven wrong when things seemed to go on as normal today...leading end of the world theorists to re-evaluate their models.

    IQ is just a theory of intelligence...I think we should teach both, and let the children decide which is more likely to be true.

    Um...maybe in certain areas of the US that's true, but in other areas of the US...it's still pretty bad...and outside the US people love the bash the Jews...and in the Middle East they're dedicated to destroying them...but yea...it's not cool to be anti-semitic. I agree on that point. And most of the Jews I know are Atheist anyhow...so they're getting it from both sides.

  21. better things to focus on ... on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 0

    I would say that religion has caused far more destruction and harm than this guy...or mentally ill people...well...excluding all those religious people who are mentally ill but are accepted in our society as sane because so many others share in their insanity.

    Can we study religion in stead of video games and ban it?

  24. BS for free on How Much Are You Worth To an Online Lead-Gen Site? · · Score: 1

    I got my BS degree for free. My state, GA, offers free tuition and fees/books to anyone going to a public university with a HS GPA of >=3.0 for 120 credit hours.

    It wasn't financially based, so it didn't matter that my parents had money (even though I did not).

    Why can't more states do this?

  25. you have it backwards... on Hacker Behind Leaked Nude Celebrity Photos Gets 10 Years · · Score: 1

    I think the photos were hacked from their location in the cloud...not on the device. Nonetheless...if you're going to take nude photos of yourself, your smartphone is the easiest way to do it. There's nothing wrong with having nude photos of yourself. Why is that sick? Weird? I think it's far sicker that people are so afraid of others seeing them without their clothes that they consider suicide (as the witnesses said), send people to jail for years, or lifetimes (in the case of pics of teens). We all need to chill just a bit and focus on the real criminals...violent criminals and big business fraud.
