    >peopple get infected with HIV by mistake all the time, there are many cases of tainted blood transfusions across the world. Also some of those infected with the virus spread it on purpose, they feel that if they got it, they should take as many people with them as possible To be fair, he did mention the "VERY unlucky" people that have aids.

  20. Re:X-Play had a better review? on Crackdown Review · · Score: 5, Informative

    I just re-watched the x-play review and they didn't say anything like what you just said. They said that they though it wouldn't be any good when they found out that the halo 3 beta came with it but "wonders never cease." They loved the game and gave it a rare 5 out of 5 rating. Last 5 of 5 rating was Guitar Hero II which was about 100 reviews ago. Never did they mention renting it. The online review said "It's an absolute blast to play." They basically said the opposite of what you think they said.

  24. 2.0? on Firefox 2.0 Officially Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have been using Firefox 2.0 for a day now. I can't really see how this warrants a 2.0 release. It seems like there should be more added features and innovation that we have come to expect from the Mozilla team to jump to 2.0. Don't get me wrong, I love the software and I have converted just about everyone I know to Firefox. This is a Solid release, but maybe a 1.6 or something.

  25. Incomplete List on 20 Tech Ideas VCs Want to Fund · · Score: 2, Funny

    I want my flying car.
