    I'd think it would also be easier to carry around a small netbook than a huge stack of papers on a bus or plane.

    I see you were involved in his other study where children weren't taught punctuation or capitalization.

    If this effects cancer, then I'd say it probably shouldn't be used.

  5. Re:And what's the problem here? on US Lawmakers Eyeing National ID Card · · Score: 5, Informative

    What?!?! We have the highest per capita healthcare costs in the world!. Yes, higher than Germany, UK, Canada, and all the other "socialist" European countries.

    Geez, educate yourself before you make a comment. It bothers the hell out of me when I see one of my fellow countrymen spewing out utter nonsense about foreign healthcare.

    What about when she wants to hook up her fancy new USB scanner? Or transfer some photos to her digital picture frame?

  7. Re:That Explains The Updated SDK on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    One major point for the traveling crowd: can I transfer the photos from my camera to the iPad and upload my photos to flickr?

    The average Joe/Jane also wants flash. How else can I get my Mafia Wars/Farmville/whatever fix?

    Does anyone remember Chrome? No, not Google's...Microsoft's. What's old is new again!

    Yeah, I was going to comment on that...Harry McCracken? Is that a joke? Or is the next list going to be written by Phil McGroin?

    3: require all men to own and carry a firearm in public.
    4: require all women to own and carry a firearm in public (this will also reduce the rate of sexual assault).

    Ooookay.

    But hey, I am just one of those dirty freedom loving liberals.

    Except for the freedom not to carry a firearm, I guess.

  21. Re:China is getting pretty uppity on Google Accused of Violating Copyright In China · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of that Apocalypse Now quote...

    How much software had I already pirated? There was those six that I know about for sure. Close enough to find their CD keys on Pirate Bay. But this time it was an American and a corporation. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit charging a man with copyright violations in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

    Are you at work? If so, you can give me your address I'll drive by to make sure nobody's broken in.

  23. Re:Sad on Russia Recalls Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You'd get more than bitchy people. You'd have the Fox News generation in arms, Glenn Beck screaming on the television, an A/O rating from the ESA, and, even if it managed to eek out an M rating, you'd have a de facto ban from retailers afraid of enraging a bunch of teabaggers.

    In reality, it'd be the same effect. I highly doubt that the game would see the light of day. Sure, you could pirate it or order it from specialty online stores, but that's probably the same thing happening in Russia. It's better than an "official" government ban, but censorship by the masses is very alive and very well here in these United States.

  24. Re:Sounds good on Review: Dragon Age: Origins · · Score: 1

    Is Crysis considered the be-all-and-end-all test of graphics cards because of super high quality graphics or super inefficient graphics programming?

    Not trying to troll, I'm really curious.
