  1. Re:can you ignore a whole city? on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    Sadly the bombing of the levies happened in the early 1900's. Why? To get rid of the poor. There was a history there to give the people there that idea.

  2. My Dislikes of the Game on Gears of War Review · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There aren't many dislikes to this game. The big one is that this game is too short. Also the enemies shotgun range seems to be longer than when I use the shotgun. There are scenerios that don't playout well or aren't as exciting as they could be.

    First example is when Marcus and Dom need to retrieve a vehicle. Well I never thought that once we got the car that we would drive it. To my surprise you do drive it. The vehile looks tight and drives pretty well, but the game play just blows and feels out of place. It does break up the game play a bit, but when you play it the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time, it becomes a hurdle to get back to gunning.

    The 2nd example is when you go underground and have to find the carts to get to another section. Well the cart scenerio could have been exciting and fun, but it was boring and you rarely have to get up from your cart to do anything. This should have involved high speed chases and shooting Locust who chase you in other carts. Co-op could have been great on this scene, but like I said it was boring.

    Other than that I rate this game great. I'm currently playing through on INSANE using DOM on Co-Op to unlock my achievements. I would recommend getting it or going over to a friends house who has it.

  3. Re:Nothing inconvenient about the results on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    What is sad is how easy it is for people to believe every word that comes out of Al Gore's mouth, but still be convinced that the Sept 11 terrorist attacks were a carefully orchestrated US government conspiracy. What?

  4. Re:Nothing inconvenient about the results on An Inconvenient Truth · · Score: 1

    Whats sad is that it's easier to convince people that the global war on terrorism can be controlled by spending billions of dollars and thousands of lives in Iraq than it is to convince people that Global Warming is real.

    I say that all environmentalist back down. Let all the laws lapse that help keep the air and water clean and we will see in 5 years how many cities in the U.S. end up like L.A. or some of the industrial cities in China or if our drinking water becomes as polluted as the Hudson.

    You can tell some children that fire is hot and they understand. Others have to be burned to understand. It's a hell of a gamble, but one side will finally have to shut up.

    So they cracked it open and found a gamecube inside. Not shocking.

  7. Re:it will work if... on The Failure of the $100 Laptop? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And I don't get why people keep complaining that this is a waste of money and they would rather use their money to help those people get food and other types of support. Well there are already programs for that. Why not have another form of help in the area of education and technology. It can run side by side with the people trying to get food and medicine to these underdeveloped countries.

    I think this program could help keep kids, as well as adults, somewhat familiar with the idea of computers. If one day their country is pulled out of the 3rd world era, then they won't be completely foreign to technology.

  8. Re:Slashdot posting time travel test on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not for the porn industry. People cumming before going to the site.

  9. Only Time Will Tell on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    How easy would this be to know if you got it right before you even tested it. If you did it right then you would have the results before you even tested it. If you didn't do it right, then you would have the results. Then again, do you still test even if you didn't get the results since you know the test is a bust, or do you not even test at all and wonder if the reason you never got the results is because you never tested?

    That is true. Only true artists do the ATM thing to make a statement about the current state of affairs.

    Did I just go through a time portal? "film at 11"? What stations still shoot on film? What stations still say film at 11?

  12. Re:Call the Free??? on Google Envisions Free Cell Phones For All · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can see it now. A consumer with a Google Phone sees a murder or robbery and dials 911. Instead of getting an emergency operator immediately, the consumer sits through a couple of ads for CSI. And depending on their location, they might get CSI: Miami, CSI: Las Vegas, or the CSI in New York. Hell even Heroes might come up with a tag line like, "Be your own hero."

  13. Re:Are we all really that suprised? on Youtube Video Prompts FBI Probe of LAPD · · Score: 1

    Hitler was part of the military and an authority figure. Are you saying I should treat him higher than you, assuming you aren't any of the following? Like the old saying goes, respect is earned. I'll respect a cop when they deserve it. These cops don't deserve our respect. Cops protecting these cops don't deserver our respect.

  14. It Was Michael Bay on NASA Struggles To Contact Lost Mars Probe · · Score: 1

    This is a stunt to help promote the next Transformers movie. They'll probably send a video back to NASA showing the things last transmission.

  15. Re:Jokes? on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    It wasn't even funny. Why would dedicated fans be waiting in line for a PS3 when the PS4 is out, according to the joke?

    I heard that there are two stores giving away PS3's for free. One is giving away like 6 and the other is giving away 100. So except some PS3 murders in the news on the 17th.

  16. Re:Sore loser on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    He tried to, but Bush wouldn't let him. Remember Bush is the decider and he's decided it's time Rumsfield should go. And also that there shouldn't be any partisan bickering. All great timing if you ask me. I feel that those timetables will be back with more details and a pull out date.

  17. Re:tabs on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 1

    But you are looking for news, which I'm sure people have more patients for than when they do for shopping. I've sat on sites looking for news that took about 30 seconds to load, but I don't think I would have that type of patients for shopping. Like real shopping I want to get in and get out.

  18. Re:Will they be able to make things better? on Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided · · Score: 1

    Well at least we know an Amendment to give presidents more than 2 terms will hopefully be stopped. Hopefully a new Amendment will say that a president can only serve 1 term.

  19. Re:Skimp on the website. Please. on What's a Media Mogul To Do · · Score: 1

    I think they mean don't build it in FrontPage, where it looks cheap, and build it to be user friendly. Google is clean and the information you need is right there. No hunting around for info. I've been to sites where I was looking for an address for the company and it took minutes to locate it because the information was buried within several pages. I've also been to sites that sell products, but I wouldn't buy from them because the set up was just so cheap looking.

  20. Re:A show trial in every sense. on Saddam Hussein Sentenced to Death · · Score: 1

    I agree that Saddam shouldn't be executed. It's such an easy out for him. I say keep him alive, and if it happens, let him see Iraq be rebuilt into a democracy. I say keep him in a military prison in the US though. That way if he escapes, he won't get far before someone recognizes him. Plus he has too much power in those prisons in Iraq.

  21. Re:Tuesday on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand how slowing down the process of leaving my country is making anyone safer. It just seems like more frustration for the citizens and more useless control for the government.

  22. Re:Yes, Choice is Lacking on Why Apple Can't Get Movie Content · · Score: 1

    Is it enjoyable to watch movies on the iTune? I don't have one, but I've seen videos on a friends iPod and the screen is alright for a music video, but for a 1.5 - 2 hour movie does it hold up? I think if they went with a bigger screen I would do it. I would probably do it for TV shows as well.

    Was your ex-girlfriend one of those people who's TV brand didn't match their DVD player brand, which didn't match their surround sound system brand? Those people make me sick.

  24. Re:so? on iPod Owners Not As Loyal To Brand As Mac Owners · · Score: 1

    If they really want to compete then they need to make the wi-fi do more than p2p and maybe get artist to sign up for the zune store that aren't on the iTunes store, like Led Zepplin. It should have more features that should be standard in multimedia players, like AM FM radio as well as FM broadcasting so you can play the zune in your car without wires. I would like a lyrics feature, so they should team up with a lyrics database and start getting songs to come with lyrics in the metadata. All the things iPod customers ask for, Zune should have in it. Listen to the customers.

    Eric, as in Eric Nylund? I Totally agree. Then 360 says, hey we have an HD-DVD player for the 360. It isn't used for games, just movies. What happens with HDMI?

    If Sony can actually produce the system they claim, then it will be so much better than the 360. I'm keeping my 360 though for when Halo 3 comes out. Boo yaka.
