  1. Re:Whoop de flippity do on HTC Does What Google Wouldn't: Sell an LTE Phone That Sidesteps AT&T · · Score: 1

    Sprint offers unlimited data that is pretty much truly unlimited. At least, my family has never run into any issues and my kids will watch YouTube videos on their phones for hours sometimes. No problem.

    Yeah, I feel so stupid for buying a Galaxy S3 now. Not!

    Westerners? In my experience, all the cheap crap that doesn't work or breaks immediately is made in Asia (except cars, we make the broken, cheap ones here when it comes to cars).

    I've been dimming LEDs (with a new-fangled power-efficient dimmer with vacancy sensor) for a couple years now with no flicker whatsoever. Works fantastically.

  6. Re:Way to miss the mark Amazon. on Amazon Nears Debut of Original TV Shows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Kids content isn't exactly lacking either.

    Really? Find a single scripted show rated less than TV-14 from the networks in prime time. There is NOTHING like the shows that I grew up on (Happy Days, Cosby, Home Improvement, etc...), which were shows the whole family could enjoy together.

    Now, the kids shows are so annoying and poorly-acted that no adult could stand them, and the adult shows are so "gritty" and "dark" and "sexy" that no kids like them. Amazon could make a lot of money by investing in the type of shows that make a ton of money, because apparently the networks are too busy trying to be "edgy" to make a fortune.

  7. Re:Uhhhhh on Amazon Nears Debut of Original TV Shows · · Score: 1

    The networks never just run a pilot anymore. They order 13 episodes and if it bombs they just show 5-11 of them and the rest is a waste. Amazon isn't in any hurry, so they just want a pilot episode each which will be voted on, and the winners will get a season made and then they'll see from there.

  8. Re:All notebooks on Ars Reviewer is Happily Bored With Dell's Linux Ultrabook · · Score: 2

    I LOVE the keyboard on my Asus Zenbook. You'll see complaining online, but that's only because I had to open it up and tape the connector better after it shook loose (which was as simple as removing a few tiny Philips screws). But as far as actually typing, I can fly on this thing. No mushy keys here. This thing has a low key travel but a high feedback that makes it obvious when you have pressed the key.

    In my experience, the people who are willing to apply that standard to christianity aren't willing to apply that standard to any other religions.

    I totally would, if Muslims would come out and criticize Islamic terrorism, but most Muslims seem to clam up instead. And at times I have overheard them secretly cheering (I used to work with Muslims that made statements like this when they thought nobody was listening). Christians are quick to criticize "Christian" lunatics like WBC.

    The atheist bigots don't like to talk about that tho. It's just "Fuck religion" all day long, showing the same hatred they claim belongs to religion. It's pathetic.

    Especially when atheists Mao and Stalin and eugenics-fueled Hitler killed more people than anyone else in history...

  20. Re:Secularism on Ask Slashdot: What Planks Would You Want In a Platform of a Political Party? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you really study the Bible, sin is pretty much defined as "stuff that hurts yourself or others". The contrary is the Golden Rule, which is, in essence, "Love others". That seems like a pretty good moral basis.

    The problem is that people love doing things that ultimately hurt themselves or others. And they don't want to be told otherwise...
