  1. If Hitler were alive today on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 1

    He would kill a bunch of Jews and blame it on video games. Video games is just a scapegoat for killers just like rock n roll was in the 70's and 80's. I've been playing video games for 15 years and I've yet to kill anyone [at least that can be proven ;)]. In fact I've become a vegan, but I wouldn't thank video games for that just like I wouldnt blame video games if I did something bad. I would blame myself instead.

  2. Re: Crappy Voters on House Approves Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    The problem with America is that most of our voters don't know how to vote. My friend voted for Bush, now he regrets it, but instead of not voting for people that are like Bush, he's not going to ever vote republican again.

    I'm not saying he should vote 'pub, I'm saying he should vote for who can do the best job regardless of their party. Mccain would have been a better president than Bush. People need to stop voting for their team because in the end we are all on the same team.

  3. Re: PayPal Will Still Censor Political Dissent on Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections · · Score: 1

    I thought Malcom X was dead.

    I thought a company still had a right to determine who their clients were as long as it wasn't based on race. If a company wants to ban a group because they promote hate, isn't that their right. Imagine is a Jewish guy owned Paypal and had to put up with people selling Holocaust lamp shades and wallets. Should he have to take that kind of crap?

    Sure Malcom X was a racist. He hated white people. Look where he grew up and the time period. I'm not saying racism is good, but I can see how he got there.

  4. Re:Is this an attack? on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 4

    So if China had a satilite fly over the US and we pointed a laser at it are we attacking them?

  5. Re:I doubt they could make it work on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    I thought I read in the article that the US has confirmed it has worked and it has been done.

  6. Re:Yup, it sure is an attack on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    Oh I think the US is aware of China becoming the next superpower. I'm just trying to figure out why they are standing by and letting it happen.

  7. Re:Is this an attack? on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No a better analogy would be if you shined a laser in my eye. You don't ever physically touch me. Punching me is attacking. Shining a light in my isn't.

    What if I was looking through your bedroom window from a public sidewalk as you and your boyfriend made sweet love. Then to prevent me from seeing this lovefest you shined a laser in my eye.

    Now if China shot a rocket into space and blew up the satilite or damaged it, then that's an attack. Otherwise you could call what the US is doing to China an attack.

  8. Is this an attack? on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    "According to top officials, however, China not only has the capability, but has exercised it. It is not clear when China first used lasers to attack American satellites."

    Wouldn't "disable" or "blind" be more fitting. There is no attacking going on.

  9. Re:What I really want to know... on Chinese Lasers Blind US Satelites · · Score: 1

    So I get to vote on when a nuke is launched from the U.S.? I thought it was still under the control of a small group of people. I say we use paper ballots if we are going to vote on it.

  10. Re:Um, Exposing a problem is not CREATING a proble on Judge Refuses To Convict Hacker · · Score: 1

    Maybe he shouldn't have said he was an auditor, but instead a security systems checker. Then he could have charged more.

  11. Re:What about Airplanes? on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 1

    I read that there were two scenarios they went through. There is the "Run Like Hell Scenario" and the "Call Your Spouse and Tell Them You Won't Be Home for Dinner Scenario".

    I've heard of ropes tethered from a tugboat to a ship that have snapped and the snapping force was so strong that if it hit a person they would die. Imagine what this could do.

  12. Re:What about Airplanes? on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 1

    Aw, don't be mad. Don't be mean.

  13. What about Airplanes? on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If these space elevators do take off, would they need their own air traffic control at each one? Imagine a plane clipping one of these things while people are going up? Tower of Terror would lose all it's business.

  14. Re:Don't Lose Sight of Our Goal! on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 0

    "BALLS . . . IN SPACE!!!" the sequel to "SPACEBALLS"

  15. My Toilet is Cleaner than my Desk on Self Cleaning Mouse · · Score: 1

    Looks like I can no longer have lunch at my desk. I'll have to eat the restrooms for now on. I'll take the handicap stahl if no one minds.

    I didn't see anywhere in the article about prevent oil and dirt build up. That's my main problem. My oily and sweaty hands like to build up these nice dirt outlines that I scrap off with my fingernails every month or so. I guess I can start wearing rubber gloves when I touch the mouse.

  16. Re:Does File-Sharing Really Hurt the Music Biz? on Does File-Sharing Really Hurt the Music Biz? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I bought a DVD the other day for $5. Yet a band from the 70's still cost $11-15. I can't find a good CD for $5. If the movie industry can do it, then the music industry can. I hear that tape sales are way down due to downloads and piracy as well. Why wasn't that ever mentioned in the article?

  17. Tomorrows /. News Reads on Apple Goes After the Term 'Podcast' · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft Announces: It's Okay to Say Zunecast or Zune It"

  18. Re:Ultra-capacitors for a different type of hybrid on 500 Miles on a 5-Minute Recharge? · · Score: 1

    The funny thing is when you hook your i-pod up to it, you lose way more power. Can we get these huge capacitors on cell phones, i-pods, laptops, and other portable devices that currently have a really short battery life?

  19. Re:Can someone tell me the point of this? on French Doctors to Perform Zero-Gravity Surgery · · Score: 1

    When you cut the wrong artery the blood doesn't spread into the body. Instead it floats around in the vessel and clogs all the instruments. Their ruffled.

  20. Re:Practical uses? on GeoTagger Adds Positioning Info to Snapshots · · Score: 1

    It be true. When you upload your photos to Flickr it will display all that info for you and your friends. I don't care if people know what type of camera I have and what exposure settings I use.

  21. How about focusing on . . . on Seitz's 160 Megapixel Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    . . . making a digital camera that doesn't have a smear or blur issue during low light situations. Or one that will allow the user to take more pictures in quicker succession. I can get about 2 a second, which is okay, but lets advance some of the other features before we make more megapixels. What will that do for me anyways unless I want to make a Citizen Kane sized print of myself.

  22. Re:they are sony minions I tell you! on Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony · · Score: 1

    I say Americans don't by PS3. Look how the Japanese didn't buy the 360 and prices went down even more. I say Americans ban together and hold out until Sony brings the price way down.

    Xbox should have a new slogan, "Buy American".

  23. Re:running man on Experts Fear Future Will be Like Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the neckbraces that explode when you go beyond the perimeter. We have those today in the form of shopping carts with wheels that lock if you take them outside the parking lot. Thus, making it harder to use them to take your groceries home.

  24. Re:No - and shut up on Could You Be Addicted to the Internet? · · Score: 1
