  1. Re:Review on Bionic Eye Could Restore Vision · · Score: 1

    you wouldn't have to power up, i would think. the body creates electricity, if they master the bionic eye, who is to say they can't turn you into a damn big d-cell?

  2. Re:Legal issues on Drive-By Pharming Attack Could Hit Home Networks · · Score: 2, Informative

    i know a guy that does this(unfortunately) he had downloaded whole movies sitting in an apartment complex parking lot. network stumbler and idiots= free bandwidth. definately need to change that factory password

  3. technology in the class on Using Technology to Improve Kindergarten? · · Score: 1

    my children used to go to a magnet school in chattanooga when we lived there(makes me think seriously about commuting only for their education)http://www.ed.gov/news/newsletters/innov ator/2004/1018.html this style of teaching is outstanding. my son, in kindergarten was learning algebra and spanish along with the colors and shapes, they made it fun and he loved it. he is in the fourth grade now and still talks about kindergarten at his "good" school. don't dumb down the subjects because they are 5, it really doesn't seem to matter, just make it interesting. my fourth grader also has been using a computer since he was about eighteen months old. my daughter is 7 and not as interested in computers as she is cell phones(wtf?) and clothes(i don't remember being like that when i was little ) her preschool was highly lacking in the kind of development that my son's first school had. technology rocks and all, but you need to send the pudgy little kids out into the yard to play with their buddies, computers are great, but dammit they are making us fat. i am not sure that letting little kids on the computer is the greatest idea. (hindsight is 20/20) anyway, the touch screen idea is brilliant, don't have to worry about grubby little fingers dirtying up the keyboard and mouse, or picking the keyboard condom to death (kids love to screw with those things).

  4. Re:there's no crisis on How Would You Deal With A Global Bandwidth Crisis? · · Score: 1

    yea, that is the way that it used to be, but, would you really go back to that? there is no way in hell that i would go back to waiting an hour to download one picture, or posting on a bulletin board and waiting forever for a reply, paying by the minute for access. these companies will not take us farther back than we are now, it doesn't work like that. they will hem and haw and then they will pass some law where they can legally rape us on access fees and the shortage will be over with. congestion does seem to be an issue lately, but with what technology that we have now, i imagine that it would not be that much of an issue to increase the bandwidth. i mean what would it take, more servers and more lines, yea it costs money, i believe that is why i have a bill every month, isn't it?

  5. Re:Why not... on Neuroscientist Halts Research to Stop Extremists · · Score: 1

    i read the same thing somewhere and someone else's explanation for this. yes they were a religious empire, but they needed money too. why kill the members of other religions when you can just tax them to death, then they are paying for you to go off and conquer even more people of even more religions?

  9. Re:Just say "Please, no!" on Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    My family asks me or my husband every year what we want, and every year we tell them money, they get me perfume and they get him and new jacket. I just started a soy candle business, and (hehehe) every last one of our relatives is getting a left over five-dollar candle.

  10. Re:Support her on First RIAA Lawsuit to Head to Trial · · Score: 1

    someone finds an account, i have five bucks for it. each of these songs are not worth thousands of dollars a piece, c'mon now, Lit?!?!?!

  11. Re:I'd like to see this go to a jury. on First RIAA Lawsuit to Head to Trial · · Score: 1

    i would donate to help her fund her lawsuit, i know between all of us, we could pay the bill and tell the RIAA to kiss off.

  12. ads are worse on .xxx Domain Remains in Limbo · · Score: 1

    when i surf the internet and when my nine year old surfs, the things that seem to pique his interest the most are the "ENLARGE YOUR PENIS" ads. honestly, ads are ten times worse than porn itself. if all the bible-thumpers(i am in the south, there are more of them here) had such a problem with porn, why have they not said anything about some of these ads?
