    Then you hire the people to help out the users and charge them[users]. That business model works quite well.

    Can you have firefox loaded on a usb key with all those addons installed? make it safer for you if you can.

    Uh, no, they're not, it's called the first amendment and it guarantees the right of assholes to use their hate speech.

    Hulu.com will have it on their servers to watch later, as well. It's a great service, surprisingly.

  13. Re:CDs are still readable on Best Way To Store Digital Video For 20 Years? · · Score: 1

    I have burnt CDs that either have the film pull away or end up developing bits that flake away. It may not be called CD Rot but it still is burnt CDs degrading.

    So? Just leave that extra royalty covering bit tacked on. More profit.

  15. Re:What a great idea! on Sci-Fi Channel Merging TV Show with MMO · · Score: 1

    This is kind of how Games Workshop runs things, though. They run a summer campaign and that campaign then creates the canon of the story instead of their staff deciding to favor a specific faction. But yea, kinda wanna see this. Like all reality based shows, I'll watch two eps then get bored. Well, aside from Hell's Kitchen. When they cry, it makes me _____* *fill in as you see fit.

  16. Re:Keep fighting, but be realistic on Video Game Actors Say They Don't Get Their Due · · Score: 1

    Actually, I have bought video games due to a voice actor being in it. I haven't bought every game she's been in but I've bought a handful I wouldn't have normally bought because she was in it and it tipped my interest scale off apathetic. Jennifer Hale for those wondering. And watched some shite cartoons she was in.

  17. Re:Bizarreness matters too on UK Teen Cited For Calling Scientology a "Cult" · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also, in the wild, the placenta being left around alerts predators to tasty, tasty babies being around. As for Cults/Religions, Cults COST you money, Religions GUILT it out of you.

  18. Re:Unmanned or kids - what is worst? on Unmanned Aircraft Pose US Airspace Problems · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a bunch of adults overseeing children, not a bunch of children just given weapons and told to go have fun.

  19. Re:It's as simple as this on Woman Indicted In MySpace Suicide Case · · Score: 2

    I remember the first time i saw this, some six or seven months ago, I guess. At the time, I remember her saying, (paraphrased)"yes, I did create the account to find out about the people that were picking on my child." So..., screw alleged. If my memory serves, and it invariably does, bitch is guilty, fry her.

  20. Re:Holy Crap on BBC Creates 'Perl on Rails' · · Score: 3, Funny

    The short sentences we use nowadays are a more recent innovation. In the past, run-ons were the bloody norm and they totally sucked; people who used them needed to be shot in a most painful and brutal area since they can make it such a bitch to read a paragraph aloud in class when you're thirteen and just wanting to get it over with and go back to looking at the cute girl who sits in front of you.

  21. Re:listen to ads? on Google Shows Off Ad-Supported Cell Phone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Drivers listen to ads on the radio as they drive. A driver shouldn't be talking on the phone as it is. Reductio ad absurdum.

  22. Re:Personal experience of the Multiverse on 50 Years of the Multiverse Interpretation · · Score: 1

    Actually, they have. In an episode of ST:TNG, they teleport down to a planet while at warp and the counselor says something along the lines "It felt like I transported into that wall back there," and Riker replies "You did."

  23. Re:You don't look too happy... on New Drug Helps to Dampen Bad Memories · · Score: 1

    So, does that mean a rapist is in fact helping the victim by rendering her/him unable to remember the event? Because, if so, I see some fucked up lawsuits in the near future.

    It's jigga. Jiggawatts. Where we're going, we don't need any cds.

  25. Re:Bad Idea on Are Keyboards Dishwasher Safe? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I kind of do the same, though it's more pull off the keys, take off the top unit, then clean the top half of the plastic and maybe the bottom half if it needs it by hand. I can put most of the keys back on from memory but occasionally I just look at another keyboard in the house to get the last few I may not remember goes in what place. Putting it in whole to a dishwasher just seems to scream bad idea. Who knows what hasn't been properly coated and will end up corroding in some way. Even putting in just the plastic makes me leery. I've seen some extremely hot water in units destroy some pretty sturdy plastic items.
