  1. What a great idea on Visual Search Engine Tracks Stolen Images · · Score: 4, Funny

    I should create a page for movies and mp3s too, a place were directors and producers can upload their content to see if anyone has copied it already!

  2. Re:short answer... on Are US Voters Informed Enough About Science? · · Score: 1

    I really don't see the first issue as the real problem. I didn't learn anything about intelligent design in my school but I doubt it made much difference to my graduating class as a whole. I doubt that they are really more informed than a bible belt school. It probably has more to do with the teaching or lack of. I remember most of science class was watching lame PBS specials or cherry picking from books and with no real life experimentation, probably insurance issues.

  3. Re:Did any of this need to be confirmed? on Wikileaks Gets Hold of Counterinsurgency Manual · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We wag our fingers at China for their actions in Tibet

    We lecture Russia about corruption


    get the feeling its all for the children? these things are probably just seen as a reason to justify our need for more guns and bombs, it works as long as the truth doesn't come out

  4. Most critical review on Amazon on All Your Coffee Are Belong To Us · · Score: 1

    This can be hacked by outside attackers People can compromise your coffee maker and take over your computer as a result. Coffee isn't worth that risk. Published 4 hours ago by M. Garza

  5. well thats different on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 2, Informative

    ...Still, the Transportation Department study stuck. Speaking before the House of Representatives in 2002, Indiana Rep. Julia Carson said that under daylight-saving time, Indiana families would save "over $7 million annually in electricity rates alone...

    then a study by University of California-Santa Barbara economics professor Matthew Kotchen and Ph.D. student Laura Grant

    ...Using more than seven million monthly meter readings from Duke Energy Corp., covering nearly all the households in southern Indiana for three years...

    ...Their finding: Having the entire state switch to daylight-saving time each year, rather than stay on standard time, costs Indiana households an additional $8.6 million in electricity bills...

  6. Re:Is there a difference here? on Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release · · Score: 1

    Hoaglin is charged with one felony count of uploading the movie onto the Internet.

    Hoaglin made copies immediately available for millions of people where as the others made single or small amounts of distribution.
  7. How can you cry about what you give away??? on Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release · · Score: 1

    So you give out copies of your movie so all your buddies can cream over what a great movie it is. Only problem is they aren't your friends. They give it out because they could care less about your movie and the money you will lose. Then you cry about lost revenue!!! That's like telling everyone about your invention before even submitting a patent. What these movie companies should do, especially with a movie of such "high caliber", is RELEASE the movie at the theater so we can all drool over the previews. That way we have to wait until the Russians release the Tele-Synch.

  8. Re:Not exactly.... on Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release · · Score: 3, Funny

    $379 999 999.00: production/marketing/advertising/other overhead
