  1. Re:Just keep calm... on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Way To Deal With Roving TSA Teams? · · Score: 1

    It won't happen, as far as I'm aware there's not even anyone running against Obama in the primaries. While I'm sure that someone is (I am pretty certain someone always does run against incumbent presidents) the fact that I haven't heard even as a relatively aware voter means they aint got a shot. Best hope is Ron Paul, he is the only candidate to appeal to disillusioned democrats. We aint voting for Romney or Santorum.

  2. Re:correlation on Crysis 2 Most Pirated Game of 2011 · · Score: 1

    I'd agree with this. I have a budget. I bought probably 1 game a month or so (averaged over the year) at full price, preordered etc (and also blew $150 on the collectors edition of SWTOR). I've also pirated probably about the same amount. My budget is lower than my ability/desire to consume entertainment. Every now and then I'll pirate a game (KotOR, Arkham Asylum) and love it enough to buy the sequel other times (Spiderman Shattered Dimensions, Force Unleashed) I won't. Any game that can provide me with at least 1 hour of entertainment per dollar though I feel is a justified purchase.

    You obviously don't work full shifts outdoors.

  4. Re:So, when did subscriptions become traditional? on Star Wars: the Old Republic Launches · · Score: 1

    I disagree. It is not WoW with lightsabers. It is Everquest 2 with lightsabers.

    Clearly this could be stopped by killing all the butterflies in China.

  6. Re:Good thing nobody hates the French on Greenpeace Breaks Into French Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

  7. Re:HUUGE PROFIT MARGIN on Patent Expires On Best Selling Drug of All Time · · Score: 2

    Wait, he won inventor of the year in 1999 for something he invented in 1985?

  8. Re:Choosing the correct tactics on Patent Expires On Best Selling Drug of All Time · · Score: 1

    What incentive does the pharmacy have to sign these deals?

  9. Really? on Facebook Denies Disputed Page To Both Mercks · · Score: 1

    Who the hell is going to a pharmaceutical company's facebook page?

  10. Re:Hmmm on Valve's Gabe Newell On Piracy: It's Not a Pricing Problem · · Score: 1

    Wal-Mart gets away with it.

  11. Re:spin. on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When the US isn't divulging that information to the public, it is an issue yes.

  12. Re:That seems somewhat smart on With Troop Drawdown, IT Looks To Hire More Vets · · Score: 1

    Not when you add back in the incredibly long hours. And a barracks isn't the same as an apartment or house.

  13. Re:I wish they would do the obvious on How X-Ray Scanners Became Mandatory In US Airports · · Score: 1

    When it comes down to it, the average people are the same all over the world - they'll pay lip service to appear to be doing what the are supposed to do, but if no one notices, then they'll just do what they want to do.

    Those aren't really the people we're concerned with.

    Find one nation in the world that didn't do that sort of shit

  17. Re:In Before... on Oldest Submerged City Visualized With CGI · · Score: 2

    It's not exactly far-fetched to say the story was based on an actual city that sank into the sea (*cough* Akrotiri *cough*). After all, modern story-tellers use historical events to make political points all the damn time.

  18. Re:There is no relevance in between Charles II on Climate Change Driving War? · · Score: 1

    Also the fact that Charles II decided to end the Dutch's golden age when he came into power.

  19. Re:top one percent of X control large amount of Y on Top 1% of iOS Game Developers Make a Third of All Revenue · · Score: 1

    I make $30,000 and pay something like 5-6000 in income tax, another 2,000 in property tax and then I get to throw in the costs of gas tax and sales tax. You can't lump the 20-30k people in with the 0-20k who don't pay shit without totally throwing off the averages.

  20. Re:FMC? on Ask Slashdot: Can You Identify This UAV? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Claymores have "Face Toward Enemy" written on them. Nothing would surprise me.

  22. Trying to get fired? on NYC Mayor Wants Traffic Camera On Every Corner · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see THIS law put to a direct vote. Of course it won't be, and Bloomberg will probably get booted out next opportunity, but the cameras would of course still stay.

  23. Re:Thanks for the trailer, when is the movie due? on New Video Brings Portal To Life · · Score: 2, Informative

    Homely? She may not have been the usual supermodel actress but she certainly wasn't homely. I thought she was a good choice for Chess. An everyday woman.

    Only in DC, Eastern Shore and Norfolk. There's a big chunk of Virginia that sees snow quite often.

    I was actually in a parked car when it happened and it was swaying like someone was on the outside rocking it gently on its suspension.
