  1. real life skills to in game skills ? on Videogame Driving Skills Don't Apply In Real Life · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who is an ace driver on real cars but can't do jackshit on almost any car racing game except for road rash which i played when i was young (sigh!) Why don't my real life driving skills translate to in game skills ?

    With that age difference I can't even dream of blaming you; Its mostly the fault of your friendly neighborhood teen. ;-)

    Just some unrelated info: Wharton Reserach says that even from a business perspective of maximizing profits the labels should reduce prices as the average cost per song is only 15 cents to them

  7. Every comment is a Joke ! on What Drugs Do Astronauts Take? · · Score: 1

    Ok, so every single comment is a joke. Congratulations. Not that I can add anything of substance to such a Mooney topic. Just wondering.

    No problems on that count at least: There are no emergency services in India.

  9. Windows 7 release panties - what does that have on LHC Has First Collisions After Years of Waiting · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 release panties - what does that have to do with this ? And where do you get them by the way?

  10. Encrypted text file on Mobile Phone on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    I keep all my passwords etc in an encrypted text file on my mobile phone. (during bouts of paranoia i type them in reverse order sometimes)

    I usually sync the phone to my laptop every 1-2 weeks and save an encrypted file in the laptop as well as in my gmail account for backup in case i loose the phone and need to change all passwords etc

  11. Re:A high tech solution to keep my wife quiet??!! on FCC/DOT Want High-Tech Cure For Distracted Driving · · Score: 1

    So correct.. Answering any of my wife's questions takes up nearly all my cognitive capabilities so i find myself either on the verge of crashing into someone or able to answer only with "Huh?"

  12. Go to court to repeal this.... on 3 Strikes — Denying Physics Won't Save the Video Stars · · Score: 1

    Aren't Britons allowed to go to court to get such an unconstitutional law repealed?

  13. .33 to .52 isn't much! on The Science of Irrational Decisions · · Score: 1

    0.33 to 0.52 ? That doesn't seem too much of a co-relation to me.

    Yes its easy, I have given up my slashdot addiction hundreds of times.

  15. Re:Speaking from an ICT integration perspective... on Best Tablet PC For Classroom Instruction? · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. Have been using a TC 4400 for nearly 4 years now. In fact I have been looking to upgrade since a year but it still seems better or at least as good as the newer models like X200 or TX2 etc. Only upgraded the RAM some time back so that I could run Win7 and the HDD so i could dualboot PCLinux and still have space for a lot of data. I think if you ask long time users you'll find TC4200/4400 to be the best and cheapest solution. As good as any other laptop and with all tablet functions.

  17. Nicotine benefits without the harmful smoke on Nicotine Improves Brain Function In Schizophrenics · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Electronic Cigarettes (more accurately -Personal Vaporizer or PV) simply vaporize a nicotine solution to avoid the harmful effects of smoke and its 8000 chemicals.

    I was on a pack a day for 15 years and in a month of starting 'vaping' i have gone to zero analog cigarettes without missing my nic kick.

    Checkout Wikipedia for basic info or ecig-forum for detailed info.

    These look like normal cigarettes, have rechargeable batteries with convenient cartridges or refilling BUT it does takes a week or two to get everything right,so be careful of which model etc you choose. Ask me for advise if in doubt.

    Incidentally, FDA is trying to ban them for some of the most stupid reasons

    AND - I am not associated with any seller etc. so its not a plug. Just trying to help !

  18. Terrorism has fully achieved its objective on EU May Allow US To Keep Snooping On European Bank Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think terrorism has fully achieved its objective. Majority of citizens in almost every country now face innumerable problems due to the 'anti terrorist' agenda of their governments. How worse can it be ? Success beyond Osama's wildest dreams !

  23. Re:As an Indian Citizen, I welcome this on India To Put All Citizen Info In a Central Database · · Score: 1

    And how will you know who is an illegal immigrant ? by starting to check ID cards on the road ? making it compulsory to have ID on you at all times ? These illegal immigrants you talk about will get the ID card by hook or crook. Just like they have multiple ration cards right now. The current election ID cards could as well have been used for this purpose. Its just another massive waste of our taxes.

And you just have some wifi/flash problems. Lucky you.
