    someones been watching the Wire.

  2. Re:Technically... on Is That Sushi Hazardous To Your Health? · · Score: 1

    Awesome. So "ain't" and "ya'll" are good to go.

  3. Handheld Gaming Still Has Some Years Left on Ten Things Mobile Phones Will Make Obsolete · · Score: 1

    iPhone can't touch the DS. Nintendo still sells almost half a million units every month and it's been that way for years. I still carry my DS with me because my cell can't do the games that my DS can. And it's an industry issue. How do you get Nintendo to give up their IP onto someone elses cellphone/gaming device? Mario is theirs to keep.

    Man I just hope this original story keeps with the canon of the Star Trek Universe.

  6. Re:Science Fiction Reality on The Mass Production of Living Tissue · · Score: 5, Funny

    hopefully that time will come soon and I imagine they would call it a "health pack" and put a big red cross on the cover of the box. Putting it on walls and inside crates would be very helpful.

  7. When the Water Cools on Mixing Coal and Solar To Produce Cheaper Energy · · Score: 1

    When the water cools I imagine it's a lot of water, so would it be practical to have the steamed water hit a ceiling after it turns a turbine and then run down back onto another, maybe smaller, turbine? Is this already done?

  8. Re:Oh, get real. on Solar Roadways Get DoT Funding · · Score: 1

    So wait you are arguing that this is a bad idea because we shouldn't use a material that may get destroyed by the elements because the materials we currently do use are already getting shredded by the the elements. Sounds like it's dumb of us to keep using this asphalt and concrete you speak of.

  9. Re:I know this guy... on Goodbye Apple, Hello Music Production On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    maybe it's the speakers and not the OS.

  10. Re:Exploding ipod? Don't worry! on Apple Tries To Gag Owner of Exploding iPod · · Score: 5, Funny

    iPlode is what you were looking for.

    and what's with this old technology of HD video. Why use 1080p when you can go 4k resolution?

    Not everything has to have a purpose.

    Sometimes parents can be mean.

    Hi 120795, I'm 939458. It's very nice to meet you.

  14. Boss Bought Bogus Adobe Software on Software Piracy At the Beijing Branch Office? · · Score: 1

    My boss wanted to be cheap and decided to buy Adobe software from some company on the Internet that sold the CS2 suites for like $200. Very suspect, but he didn't think so.

    When he paid for it they sent him a link to download the files and it was all in RAR pieces. One of the RAR files contained a key generator. We told him the stuff was pirated and he said if it was then it wouldn't be a problem because he has a receipt from the company. I don't think that will protect him, but hey it's his company.

    So far I don't understand any side of this war, so they all look crazy to me.

  19. Well We Know The Kid is Lying . . on 6-Year-Old Says Grand Theft Auto Taught Him To Drive · · Score: 1

    . . . because he didn't even get 1 star before crashing. The game taught him nothing. I've also played my fair share of GTA and Saints Row and not once did the game ever require me to go snatch car keys and then start up a car. So this kid was already eyeballing his parents and watching how they did things in the car. So in actuality his parents taught him how to drive and not the game. And why is this kid playing GTA when Saints Row II is 5 times better and has online co-op.

  20. Re:SUVs on Can the Auto Industry Retool Itself To Build Rails? · · Score: 1

    I hope not because I do not feel like biking to work. I know the local motorcycle dealers were very busy during the high gas prices. One dealer I know went from selling 20-30 bikes a month to selling 200-250 bikes a month. You had to get on a waiting list to get a Vespa.

  21. Re:SUVs on Can the Auto Industry Retool Itself To Build Rails? · · Score: 1

    As much as I would like to see a market controlled by consumers it is just not true unless you talk about the electronics market. The car companies fed Americans SUVs and told us that's what we wanted and needed, so that's what Americans bought. I wanted an EV1, but the car industry said no. I wanted an electric car and they said it wasn't practical. Now look at them. Now it's practical and doable. They dug this hole themselves and deserve what they get.

  22. Re:3-Strike Law coming soon... on RIAA To Stop Prosecuting Individual File Sharers · · Score: 1

    What benefit would the ISP have for kicking off customers? If they wanted less bandwidth usage, why not put a cap on how many customers they have? Sounds like they would lose money if they kicked people off. I would think they would charge the end user additional fees after they hit their monthly cap and then a percentage of those fees go to the RIAA.
    But then why should my money go to the RIAA if my heavy usage is from legally downloading movies and music and not piracy.

  23. Re:hilarious on Netflix Extends "Watch Instantly" To Mac Users · · Score: 1

    Xbox live subscription is $50 for 13months. I guess that standalone box will pay for itself in 2 years, but it can't play Gears of War 2.

  24. Re:hilarious on Netflix Extends "Watch Instantly" To Mac Users · · Score: 1

    Or just get an Xbox 360 and stream the movies from Netflix come November 19th. That way they have a gaming machine and a netflix machine rolled into one.
