  1. US HEALTH = SKAM on Health Insurance When Leaving the Corporate World? · · Score: 0

    Notice how mostly only the EMPLOYED are targeted and insured by the health corps. IE. If you are ALREADY HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WORK, you are almost guaranteed Health insurance. SKAM !!!!

  2. Re:you have that burden of proof on backwards on "Immortal Molecule" Evolves — How Close To Synthetic Life? · · Score: 0

    Why do you even need a completely unknown and unobserved element such as God ? It seems to me, mankind will continue to play the 'hidden god' game until there is nowhere left for God to hide. The universe does not need an overseer. You are searching for an element the universe is happy without.

  3. Re:Just pollin' on The iPad Questions Apple Won't Answer · · Score: 0

    There is definitely a need to replace paper books. But this is not the solution. And yes, there is a existing market, have you not heard of Kindle or ebook readers ? Apple has become the new SONY. With locked down proprietary products (no USB for god's sake!).

  4. This is how it ends on DARPA Aims for Synthetic Life With a Kill Switch · · Score: 0

    This is how it ends. Weaponized grey goo, that is only meant to fight the 'bad guys' devours the entire world. We need a moon base ASAP !

  5. Re:No Hexa Core details ? on Intel Details Upcoming Gulftown Six-Core Processor · · Score: 0

    Ooops. I mean't what happened to the Octo-core Nehalem EX ? 6 cores have been around for a while, I need eight !

  6. No Hexa Core details ? on Intel Details Upcoming Gulftown Six-Core Processor · · Score: 0

    I read the article. Where were the Hexa core details ?

  7. APPLE = SONY on Apple's Trend Away From Tinkering · · Score: 0

    Like it says on the box. Apple is the new Sony. Locked down bricks of proprietary hardware. Not even implementing Flash in their 'web browser' tablet is the final straw.

  8. Re:...Windows 7 runs great on VirtualBox on Mac on Boot Camp Finally Supports Windows 7 On Macs · · Score: -1, Troll

    No it doesn't , it runs like ASS unless it is installed as a separate OS. Running win 7 AND OSX at the same time is stupid. Win 7 64bit as a fresh install pans OSX in all the practical speed tests I have run. Shame that this support of win7 probably does not include win 7 64bit, or any older mac pro's. So you have to hack the bootloader together. Fuck u apple (the new sony).

  9. OR 4) on The Apple Paradox, Closed Culture & Free-Thinking Fans · · Score: 0

    or 4) APPLE IS NOT OPEN, THE WHOLE OPENNESS THING BEING ADVERTISING BULLSHIT AND A COMPLETE LIE. They are in practice far worse the MS or Sony, with proprietary formats and built in obsolescence. Pricing their good to rip off families around the US.

  10. Rockstar are TWATS on Rockstar Employees Badly Overworked, Say Wives · · Score: 0

    Rockstar are TWATS. Evident by the grade A shite they produce. Anybody working for them deserves what they get.

  11. Free energy or Solar powered weapon ? on Astrium Hopes To Test Grabbing Solar Energy From Orbit · · Score: 0

    Seriously is this Free energy or a Solar powered weapon ? How about transmitting the energy to Earth via powerful radio transmission ? So only a receiver at the correct frequency will absorb power, Tesla style...

  12. Pixar on Why the Uncanny Valley Doesn't Really Matter · · Score: 0

    There is a reason why Pixar's characters have been so successful and why their characters are always caricatures.

  13. What bullshit on Sitting Down Too Long Is Bad Even If You Exercise · · Score: 0

    Yeah, we age whether we stand or sit. How can being idle be harmful. Such bullshit.

  14. Re:Duh. on NYTimes Confirms It Will Start Charging For Online News In 2011 · · Score: 0

    Correction. Both their products are worthless, propaganda. Good riddance.

  15. Re:Input-Output... on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 0

    Facial-capture DOESN'T work. They didn't use ANY tracking data for the faces in Avatar. They only filmed the actors with crappy NTSC web cams, for REFERENCE as the footage was UNUSABLE.

  16. Re:Avatar did not address the uncanny valley on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 0

    Even Benjamin Button looked like ass, and they still couldn't de~age Brad Pitt and coped out using a child actor for the end.
    Agreed. Uncanny Valley was not crossed with Avatar.

  17. Re:So essentially... on Why Counter-Terrorism Is In Shambles · · Score: 0

    Or, as stated in the 9/11 commission report, the U.S. was attacked because of it's financial and political support of Israel's war and apartheid against Palestinians.
    A policy change by the U.S. on Israel, to pressure it into peace, would arguably make the U.S. much safer than counter terrorism.

  18. Re:Times have changed on Former Exec Says Electronic Arts "Is In the Wrong Business" · · Score: 0

    Agreed Mirrors Edge and Dead Space were very awesome games... more please !

  19. Re:World War III - The Cyber War on Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government · · Score: 0

    At least with this we will be able to ask WHY ? Unlike 9/11 (ahem ~ because of US backing of Israel NOT Saudi military bases ~ ahem)

  20. Because Games are worth playing now on Game Endings Going Out of Style? · · Score: 0

    This is obviously because games are worth playing now. Back in the old days, games were mostly repetitive crap with the ending breaking the monotony. Now games are rich varied experiences and don't need gimmicks to keep you playing. One example that has me hooked is Left 4 Dead, which only has 5 main levels (each 1 hour long) but the play experience is ALWAYS different, especially since you play with other real players.

  21. FUCK ALL REMAKES on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 0

    Like it says on the tin. FUCK ALL REMAKES.

  22. Re:I just want to try it on Details On Natal's Motion Capture Technology · · Score: 0

    If Avatar can't do facial non-realtime in a perfect environment with the best tech. There is no way that Natal can do body realtime with cheap tech in a million different lighting environments. Obvious to anyone with a brain and not blinded by HYPE.

  23. Because Apple user don't know shit on Why Everyone Has High Hopes For Apple Tablet · · Score: 0

    Because Apple user don't know shit until they are SHOWN... LIKE CHILDREN. Actually children are more intuitive than Apple users.
    Technology is a big scary monster to Apple~tards them until uncle Apple holds them by the hand and shows them delicately how they can check their email and paint with their fingers.

  24. So Viruses are part of our evolution on 8% of Your DNA Comes From a Virus · · Score: 1

    You might even say, we are partly related to viruses. Might we also say that we are somewhat symbiotic with viruses ? Could the immune system have originally been a virus... Perhaps the first swelling of the mammalian brain...

  25. Re:I just want to try it on Details On Natal's Motion Capture Technology · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's going to be shit. Real time optical tracking is so far off. This whole natal campaign sticks of bull. Seriously, optical tracking didn't even work properly on AVATAR ! They ended up having to manually animate the faces....
