  1. Re:2 Words on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    Looking at those adjectives, I assumed he'd be using other immeasurable descriptors. Why not "happier"? Makes you more "fun". Experts say it gets you laid "better".

    One wonders if he was shooting for the Funny rating.

    They need to make sure it's authentic. Plenty of 3D slaves to go around. Romantics always think the work magically got accomplished ever day in ancient Rome.

    Yet another reason to not be an early adopter.

  6. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Demo of Prototype Virtual Retinal Head Mounted Display · · Score: 1

    We drive cars with explosive-level gasoline stored just waiting for some idiot to decide that NOW is the perfect time to cause a 20+ car pile-up. Statistically around 100% more people killed by car accidents than murders every year. I guess light levels don't look so dangerous.

  7. Re:It's not "direct-to-eye" - There's a screen. on Demo of Prototype Virtual Retinal Head Mounted Display · · Score: 1

    The uplifting thought is that a personalization feature could eliminate glasses while using this tech. One wonders if direct retina connection could follow soon using the concentration of this virtual image into a comprised pulse set. Sure, cure blindness, but also artificially correct the huge portion of the population with color deficiencies.

  8. Re:Easily applied to any new/old tech pair on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 1

    When it comes to the Internet, it's been fairly easy to see where success abounds. Just in time sales, anonymous purchases (pron?), centralized warehousing/distribution, delivering content on everyone's schedule vice the 8-5 workforce, purchasing entertainment on demand via any IP device. The list goes on, but infrastructure evolves to fill a need, rarely a want. The need for affordable transportation changed everything, including oil extraction and refinement rates, not ambiguity.

  9. Re:Too soon on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 1

    I'd carry this a step further and sell both coffee, snacks, and book stores products at the local library. FWIW, I enjoyed the Borders we had at the Plaza Bonita Mall. The store manager lost her mind when they closed all locations. That location certainly made bank on a constant basis. But, you're correct that public libraries should innovate more. Personally, I'd kick the porn people out or at least charge for viewing porn, specifically. Librarians gotta eat, ya' know.

    Yes, but like a lot of things, it takes a Democrat to truly use stupid Republican-backed legislation as an Orwellian tool. Oh, can't wait till all the ticket police start serving with SWAT teams.

    You ignorance overwhelms. Defense is defense. General welfare isn't an enumerated power, just a description of what the Constitution was meant to do. Madison would be rolling over in his grave to hear your "logic". Try reading sometime. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Necessary+and+Proper+Clause

    Actually, I very much agree with you on that comment. If SS payments are scaled, the scale should not stop. Likewise, payments should be relative to that same scale; which they are up to the irrational cap.

  19. Re: actual "platform" on A Ray of Hope For Americans and Scientific Literacy? · · Score: 1

    Yes because DEFENSE is in the Constitution and made up stuff you want to fit into your paradigm is not. You might as well use "protection money" as a tax.

    Hey dumbass, my white ancestors were slaves for quite a few hundred years. Funny you would promote a Roman point of view in these conversations. The Roman point of view was slavery for me, but not for thee.

    Unfortunately, the analogy is incorrect and continues to be abused to provide corporate welfare. Whenever you show me how Scotty Pippin and Sam Donaldson require six-figure compensation for the "general welfare", I may start to believe you have the start of an argument.

  22. Re:Not surprising on A Ray of Hope For Americans and Scientific Literacy? · · Score: 1

    Because they also do the politician handshake and NEVER actually force the politicians to assume any responsibility for their results. If anything, losing an election gains them more immediate benefit. Seems fairly obvious historically. The fact that government energy monopolies exist, manned with "retired" politicians all over the country is just one glaring example. Trash "boards" in California with $100k sitting fees for showing up six times a year, etc...

    Certainly not surprising. Democrats has habitually reorganized the enemy to whomever is handy at the moment. They even make up fantastical stories about how their agents of terror were closet Republicans, particularly when said Democrats were spreading FUD about the mixing of ethnic groups, and misusing the analogy of social race to instill the concept into a physical deterrent for society. Only bottom feeders use terms like race.
