  1. That's not new on Researchers Build "Squishy" Memory Device · · Score: 1

    My memory has been like Jell-O for years

  2. They're ok if you can see on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    I live in Iowa in a rural area. There's a roundabout out in the countryside for what reason, I don't know. It was fine until someone decided trees planted in the center would look nice. I was almost whacked there one day because you can't see anyone coming from the other side.

    Yes. The other half are completely retarded.

  4. Re:Correct and according to procedure? on TSA Has 95-Year-Old Remove Her Diaper For Screening · · Score: 1

    Exactly. There's nothing respectful or sensitive about this. According to the video, they found something wet and firm in her diaper. Gee, I wonder what it could be..?

    Thank you. That's exactly what I was thinking. Then again, maybe it'll cause Facebook to be shut down. If that's the case, I hope they sue the shit out of him and end the most obnoxious creation on the internet.

  7. The three most important on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 2

    activities on a phone are running applications, getting notifications and switching between activities. What happened to making phone calls?

    He might not be shot, but it wouldn't surprise me if he were tasered and/or severely beaten. Off camera, of course.

  9. Re:Well done. on FCC Plans To Stop Cell Phone Bill Mystery Fees · · Score: 1

    I use US Cellular prepaid. $10 a month to keep it active and 10 cents per minute. I don't make many calls, so $50 worth of time will last me 4 to 6 months and don't expire. I get great coverage and no roaming charges. As for SMS, I rarely use it, but it doesn't seem to affect my account much, if at all, when I do. If you ever forget to pay the monthly fee, your phone just becomes unavailable until you pay it. I've had it for about 2 years and I love it.

    From TFA:

    Led by Dr. Mats Brännström, a team of surgeons at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden are giving Sara, now 25-years old, hope that she may one day fulfill her dream of giving birth to a baby.

    Speaking with The Telegraph, she said, “It would mean the world to me for this to work and to have children. At the moment I am trying not to get my hopes up so that I am not disappointed. But we have also been thinking about adoption for a long time and if the transplant fails then we will try to adopt.”

    The facts (not implications) are that she has given it a lot of thought and being able to experience childbirth is her greater priority. Obviously, she's thought about it at least since she was married and assuredly longer because she's known about her condition since she was a teenager. This is her chance, however marginal, to bring to realization her most hopeful dream.

    How much more thought do you feel she needs to put into it to be enough? What you're implying is that until she comes to the same conclusion you have, her decision is wrong . What you're implying is that you're more qualified to make a decision concerning her life than she ever will be. She's made her decision between adoption and surgery. It's a decision that she -- and only she-- is qualified to make. Get over yourself because, like it or not, you don’t matter.

    According to the article, surrogate mothers are illegal in Sweden

  13. Re:interesting angle on Infertile Daughter To Receive Uterus From Mother · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? I know the article talks about a similar surgery done in Saudi Arabia where the uterus was meant to be temporary. In this case, though, the woman says she wants the surgery to be successful so she can have children -- plural.

    So, you're saying that the proper thought is the one that agrees with your line of thinking

    This is the same Governor that made it illegal to share a Netflix password. What is he up to now? Anyone that offends corporations or police by posting images or videos of them misbehaving will go to jail?

    I'll take a wild stab here and say Department of Justice since they are responsible for the enforcement of federal law.

  20. Re:Must See TV! on Homeland Security Running NBC-Owned PSAs · · Score: 1

    Interesting thought. Are anti-piracy PSAs copyright protected? I'm sure they are. What would be the legal implications of downloading and redistributing these PSAs? Would the **AA or whoever produced them file infringement suits? Inquiring minds want to know.

    They have, however, changed to an invite only system. Apparently, DEA and nosy news reporters aren't invited.

  22. The bill, which has been signed by the governo on Tennessee Makes it Illegal To Share Your Netflix Password · · Score: 1
    FTA:

    Republican Gov. Bill Haslam told reporters earlier this week that he wasn't familiar with the details of the legislation, but given the large recording industry presence in Nashville, he favors "anything we can do to cut back" on music piracy.

    The recording industry, a major taxpayer in Tennessee, loses money when users share accounts for music services instead of paying separately.

    In other words: No, he didn't actually read it to see if it was an egregious affront to the voter base. His concern is for the major taxpayer ( of course, he's Republican), not the thousands of little taxpayers. Besides, with all that pocket cash coming from the RIAA, why would he disagree with them? Imagine his surprise when the voter base boots his ass out next election cycle.

    run a campaign for someone in your home town who shows promise. ffs run yourself. if enough people did it and fucked with the system the system might churn out some results other than this crap.

    So please, keep your ivory tower ideas to yourself unless you also provide an idea how to implement them.

    There's the problem right there. It was spelled out in black and white and you still failed to recognize it.

  24. Re:Future cars on Ford Uses Google For a New Type of Smart Car · · Score: 1

    That's what I've been waiting for... a dial-up destination system. Doubt that will ever come about, though. Think of all the revenue lost when they can't stop you for DUI, speeding, improper lane change and the myriad other traffic related offenses. Also could make a driver's license a thing of the past. But, then, how would they keep tabs on people?
