  1. Re:Say what??? on King's Dark Tower Series To Be Adapted For Film, TV · · Score: 1

    Yes, that is why he said that not all movies end like French films, some have a happy ending with a problem solved. Did you go to Harvard by any chance?

  2. Re:IDK on T-Mobile To Begin HTC G2 Preorders · · Score: 1

    Because those were the days of a super fast and beefy single core CPU. Now that dual and quad cores are common, you don't need to have super fast, super hot running chips anymore. Or, in other words, do the math. Which is better - a single CPU running at 3.5 GHz, or 4 CPUs running at 2 GHz each?

  3. Re:G What? Re:IDK on T-Mobile To Begin HTC G2 Preorders · · Score: 1

    G1 and G2 are models of HTC phones. 3G and 4G are wireless networks. A G4 is a Mac. What is the confusion exactly?

    Works just fine either way in this case...

    Yeah, they only point guns at you and put you in jail if you do something really dangerous, like having marijuana in your home.

    There is no profit in tracking down rapists.

  7. Re:Banned from PSN... on Sony Has Lost the PS3 Hacking War · · Score: 1

    haven't those PS3 fanboys spent the last few years yelling about what a useless gimmick motion control is?

    Reminds me of some other fanyboys who used to taut how much better PowerPC chips were than Intel chips. Until their team switched chips of course...

    to get hold of a Speed Graphic/MPP flashgun nowadays thanks to these damn photography buffoons who need to take photos using flash bulbs.

  11. Re:He's right on How To Make Authentic Lightsabers · · Score: 1

    Seeing that there isn't a real lightsaber that is "a humongously strong laser that fits into a cylinder the size of a sword handle" - all of the lightsabers that are in existence are essentially what you would consider "props". So this is an article about building a lightsaber close to the originals that have already been built. Or in other words, authentic.

    Who says my love for Star Wars props isn't greater than your love for flash bulb photography? Please stop depriving me of my precious Star Wars props by using them for flash bulb photography!

  13. Re:Instant distractions on Digital Devices Deprive Brain of Needed Downtime · · Score: 1

    I like to be able to be flexible in my planning so that if something changes last minute that I planned hours ago, I want to know about it before I waste my time trying to meet someone who isn't there. The "distraction" of having a cell phone, and looking at it for a minute, could save me many more minutes of wasted time.

    I remember a time when I lived kind of like you try to. It was called the 1980s - land lines only, had to find a pay phone if not at home. No email, Facebook, Google Calendar, Instant Messaging, text messaging, etc. at all. Planning things sucked back then compared to now, I wouldn't want to take a giant step backwards.

    So it will be like the golden age of telemarketing again, before all those pesky "Do Not Call" registries....

  15. Re:Reversed Rolls on Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room · · Score: 1

    Yes. But as a not too popular nerdy type back in the day, even I was getting laid in high school. The teenage hormones overtook the geekiness every time. If all else fails, find a geek girl.

    If you were in college and still had not seen a a naked female, live, you really screwed up in high school.

    Stupidity is subjective, and any reasonable person could think Jobs is stupid. If you don't understand why, read the first part of the previous sentence again.

    "Duh" if you would drink peroxide or bleach, "whoosh" if you though those suggestions were funny.

    If that is true, it was really stupid for the prosecution in jury selection to allow her on the jury.

  24. Re:Truth is perspective on Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon · · Score: 0, Troll

    Science so far has been unable to prove, or disprove the existence of God. So in this particular argument, science is not really a factor. I think that anyone should be able to believe anything they want - without someone else trying to ram their opinion down their throat. Both believers and non-believers in God are guilty of this behavior.

  25. Re:Logo on Geek Squad Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter To God Squad · · Score: 1

    I am not saying anything about that. And if you are saying no churches in the US have tax exempt status due to their not-for-profit status, it is you who is lying. There are plenty - my mom even used to be a secretary for one. I get that you don't like the fact they enjoy this status, but calling me a liar isn't going to change any of that. The fact is churches DO get tax breaks and ARE considered legally to be "not-for-profit" businesses. That is an undeniable fact, whether you agree or not. I am not going to argue semantic of words with you anymore, this conversation is over.
