  1. Never happen on FCC Head Supports Ala Carte Cable · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately it will never happen. Its not the cable companies its the networks. Most networks own several different stations and they are bundled together. It's either that or they wont allow the cable companies to carry the channels. The cable companies don't want this because they are afraid of more people going over to satellite so they get the entire package even stations that no one ever watches. The cable company just carries the channels the networks are the ones who really control which ones you get.

  2. Re:What large projects DON'T have problems? on What Makes Software Development So Hard? · · Score: 1

    Ummm well the problem with building bridges is that if they are not built properly people die. I have no experience with medical software but when people make medical software they make damn sure its built to VERY tight specs or people die and they people who want medical software know this.

  3. Aliens on Detection of Earth-like Civilizations in Space Now Possible · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think it would be foolish too assume that we are the only life in the universe. The problem with finding life is that we really dont know how common life is in the universe. I recently saw a website http://www.anzwers.org/free/universe/index.html that can give very good perspective on just how big the universe reaaly is. Either an alien species has already detected us and is waiting for the human race to cause its own extinction (which I am sad too say is likely at this point) or they are so advanced that they reaaly dont care about us in any way.

  4. MGM on Tolkien Enterprises To Film Hobbit With Jackson? · · Score: 1

    I read on rotten tomatoes that MGM (which has the distribution rights for the hobbit movies) will right for jackson. It'll be kind of hard for New Line to make money on a film when the company that has the rights to distribute it, won't. New line can either give jackson the money that they owe him (and i do believe they owe him money) and let him produce the film OR not make ANY money at all. Heres to hoping the New Line execs arent that short sighted but hey you never know....

  5. questions for you on NH Man Arrested for Videotaping Police · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do you know how many police have fought having video recorders in there patrol cars? Do you know that these recorders are there to watch the police as much as they are to watch you and me? Do you know how many police officers have been fired due to dash mounted recorders? Do you know how many people have sued and won because of dash mounted cameras? Do you know how many police have "accidentaly" dammaged the recorders because they didnt want them? If the police fight to keep the cameras out of there patrol cars then you should fight all the harder to have them put in because if they dont want them they are obviously doing something they shouldnt be doing. Whats even sadder is officials who dont want the cameras put in because they know how bad there police REALLY are.

  6. Golf in space on Golf in Space · · Score: 1

    In space no-one can hear you yell FOOOOOOOOOOUR!

  7. Jobs in the USA on U.S. IT Hiring Increases Despite Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    Ummmm ok and were are these jobs exactly?????

  8. Stability on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    OK A. This could have been caused by some hardware malfuntion. Bad ram/controllers/processor/etc.... isnt to good for stability. B. Was he running a bleeding edge/unstable version of redhat? C. Most importantly of all did his suppose team actually know what they were doing?

  9. Re:Why are fewer people becoming engineers? on Why Students Are Leaving Engineering · · Score: 1

    You have a really good point but the problem is right now those corrupt morons are the ones in charge/making promotions as I am sure you've seen in the news lately :/ The only thing you can do is try to out do them at their own game and hope they dont catch on before they get a chance to fire you.

  10. sm2 villans on Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom · · Score: 1

    You know she might have purposefully spread misinformation about who the villans are. Personally i think Church would be better as venom and gracey as sandman.

  11. the REAL terrorists on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hmmmmm.... Governments violating the rights of its citizens. Police shooting/detaining/beating innocent people. People thats the point of being a terrorist. To spread terror. Only they have wised up over the years. Now all they have to do is do one or two suicide bombings a year and let the government finish the job of terrorising the citizens.
