  1. Re:Type in the summary on Columbus Blamed For Mini Ice Age · · Score: 1

    The whole article is silly...who depopulation native fields and cities? Europeans, right? Where did they live? They made their own towns and cities. They didn't just come over on boats, kill all the natives and sail back to Europe did they?

    "Generally after 2 years of getting used to it, I can find things almost 75% as quickly as I could in the menu interface"

    Two years later and still not as fast as you used to be. I call that UI design failure.

    Anti-gun zealots dont care about the facts or reason, they want any "ammunition" they can to support their narrow viewpoints.
    Pun intended.

  6. Before jumping to conclusions.... on Helicopter Crashes While Filming Autonomous Audi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Before jumping to conclusions....yeah I know this is the internet...
    Flying @ 14,000' elevation aint easy for a helicopter, and it gets *windy* up there at the top of Pikes Peak. Until the NTSB completes the investigation, any comments about what happened and whose fault it is would be pointless.

  7. Re:Throw me a bone. on Proposed Law Would Require ID To Buy Prepaid Phones · · Score: 1

    Im sorry, but your comment included the archaic word "God" in it, therefore it must be religious propaganda, which all good modern people know is just another means of control. You decide if thats sarcastic or not.

  8. Re:Adding to the Speculation on Mark Twain To Reveal All After 100 Year Wait · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. If you cant be a good husband or a good father, dont get married and dont have kids. Water Polo is not exactly the same as taking the responsibility of a family seriously. What a stupid analogy. BUT IM A WRITER IM ALLOWED TO TREAT PEOPLE LIKE SHIT BECAUSE IM SPECIAL. NO, youre not.

    Yeah its real hard. You do....nothing. (Automatic settings). If you want more control, you can change the settings. More windows-hate circle jerking.

    "Also the areas affected would be dependant on the current tilt of the earth and which side is facing the sun as it hit. The other half would be mostly unaffected." These storms dont last a few minutes, they last days.

    Its retarded, not odd. Guns have nothing to do with violence, anymore than pop-up adds have anything to do with censorship around the world.

  15. Read the article knuckleheads. on Microsoft Says Windows 7 Not Killing Batteries · · Score: 2, Informative

    All windows 7 is doing is reading battery controller provided information on itself. If the battery drops below 40% of capacity, windows reports it. The idea of Windows 7 damaging your batteries is absurd.

    Since I know none of you will read the article, because it might get in the way of your circle jerk windows bashing:

    "PC batteries expose information about battery capacity and health through the system firmware (or BIOS). There is a detailed specification for the firmware interface (ACPI), but at the most basic level, the hardware platform and firmware provide a number of read-only fields that describe the battery and its status. The firmware provides information on the battery including manufacturer, serial number, design capacity and last full charge capacity. The last two pieces of information--design capacity and last full charge capacity--are the information Windows 7 uses to determine how much the battery has naturally degraded. This information is read-only and there is no way for Windows 7 or any other OS to write, set or configure battery status information. In fact all of the battery actions of charging and discharging are completely controlled by the battery hardware. Windows only reports the battery information it reads from the system firmware. Some reports erroneously claimed Windows was modifying this information, which is definitely not possible."

  16. Article translation: CONFORM on Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected · · Score: 1

    Conform or get harassed by bullies? How about the next time someone harasses you, you ask them nicely to stop, and if they continue, punch them in the face. /Problem

  17. Re:We are Anonymous. on Scientology Attacker Will Be Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow, that's very poetic and all deep and shit. Tell me, oh nameless one, those two rocks who got stuck in jail...how do they feel about being nameless and being referred to as nothing? I think they'd disagree. You are only anonymous until you really piss someone off enough to come after you, then you are an individual hung out to dry.

  18. Only go so small... on Asus Says Netbook Is Dead, Hello Wearable Computers · · Score: 1

    Until it can project the screen onto my eye, and I can interface with it virtually, the smallest a computer can be and still be useful is a good sized screen 10" ? - and a keyboard with reasonably sized keys.

  19. Absurd. on One Expert Pegs Yearly Cost of IT Failure At $6.2 Trillion · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Crap article with no way to substantiate the actual dollar amounts. How much money would be lost if a large company simply had no IT department at all?

  20. Can we stop grilling them please? on Microsoft Acknowledges Theft of Code From Plurk · · Score: 1

    Props to MS for admitting fault and yanking the product. This is a good reason why outsourcing is not always cheaper.

  21. wait until the evidence is available. on Sci-Fi Author Peter Watts Beaten, Charged During Border Crossing · · Score: 1

    Unless any of you were there and saw what happened or a video is released of the entire event its nothing but speculation. I like how immediately everyone jumps on the oppressive fascists bandwagon. Police officers dont run around randomly beating the shit out of people for no reason in front of numerous witnesses. Thats a bad idea. Unlike you axe grinding authority hating anarchists, ill wait to make judgment until all the facts come out. See in this country, we examine the evidence before condemning people. Oh wait, unless cops do something we dont like, then who needs proof? Theyre all rotten bully's.
