  1. Re: Who? on Neil Young Says His Music Is Too Good For Streaming Services · · Score: 1

    I refuse to include the 1990s in "Classic Rock", because it makes me feel old and I am only 30.

  2. Re:The war on roads on Iowa Makes a Bold Admission: We Need Fewer Roads · · Score: 2

    I would love to live in a walking neighborhood personally. Unfortunately my job and region are extremely car-necessary?

  3. Re:WoW? on First Games Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    No, WoW would not have existed without EQ, Ultima Online is a fantasy online game, but it's a completely different kind of game from WoW, EQ, AC, DAoC, etc.

  4. Re:This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 2

    That isn't something gay parents specifically do though. I am a gay man, I have a pretty masculine job (zookeeper) and when I go through the surrogacy process to have kids (hopefully soon) I hope they grow up to like toy guns, action figures, dirt bikes, etc (assuming I have boys)

  5. Re:This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    Regardless, there are churches today who perform gay marriages and their freedom to practice that faith should not be denied by the government.

  6. Re: This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    As an investment in our society to promote family units for the betterment of our future.

  7. Re: This isn't a question on Ireland Votes Yes To Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 3

    No, but you might be able to emigrate.

  8. Re:"Theft" of trade secrets? Huh? on US Levels Espionage Charges Against 6 Chinese Nationals · · Score: 1

    I think the idea is that going in and stealing them is bad (and theft), but you are not protected from people reverse-engineering your trade secret.

  9. Re:New Jersey and Other Fictions... on The Economic Consequences of Self-Driving Trucks · · Score: 1

    It is actually big oil who keeps lobbying to prevent the repeal. Not quite sure what they gain from the law but it is unenforced anyway. Sometimes the attendant will make a stink if you try to pump yourself but mostly they are happy to let you.

  10. Re:Privacy? on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 1

    No but boarding schools or military academies that educated them outside of the poor/gang-infested/crime-ridden communities they live in might be better for their overall future.

  11. Re: Tax dollars at work on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    You can have multiple role ships, they could design amphibious assault ships with one or two turrets. Ships like HMS Bulwark could have been designed to carry a 16in turret fore.

  12. Re: Tax dollars at work on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    Ship to ship combat is a thing of the past, excluding sub vs sub or patrol boat vs patrol boat. Big guns are for raining cheap and efficient death along the shoreline and 25 miles inland. Should at least have big guns on ships like the Wasp and America.

  13. Tax dollars at work on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: 1

    And at the cost of $10,000 per bullet they will become the mandated ordnance by Congress despite probably costing 30 cents per bullet to produce. Just like the switch from naval artillery to "smart" missiles.

  14. Re:Because we don't crash enough cars... on Traffic App Waze To Alert L.A. Drivers of Kidnappings and Hit-and-Runs · · Score: 0

    You are assuming that those same people would not be distracted otherwise if they did not have their phone.

  15. Re:Because we don't crash enough cars... on Traffic App Waze To Alert L.A. Drivers of Kidnappings and Hit-and-Runs · · Score: 2, Informative

    The numbers of fatal accidents has been decreasing the past thirty years. Cell phones have had no noticeable statistical effect.

  16. Re:Progressive Fix 101 on Cheap Gas Fuels Switch From Electric Cars To SUVs · · Score: 1

    Better solution: Eliminate all oil and coal power plants. Replace with nuclear, the safest and cleanest of the energies. It will also cause gas prices to drop even further AND boost the economy at the same time.

  17. Re:in my opinion this guy is like Jenny McCarthy on Columbia University Doctors Ask For Dr. Mehmet Oz's Dismissal · · Score: 1

    Luxembourg

  18. Re:Do not want on The Car That Knows When You'll Get In an Accident Before You Do · · Score: 1

    Or just have flappy paddle gear selection on all cars. Best of both worlds.

  19. Re:Similarly named Ron Howard film from 1977 on Jack Thompson Will Be Featured In BBC Film 'Grand Theft Auto' · · Score: 1

    I was thinking it was more along the lines of Pirates of Silicon Valley or The Social Network. Probably going to be loosely based off Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto

  20. Re:Sends a Terrible Message at a Critical Time on Nearly Half of Game of Thrones Season 5 Leaks Online · · Score: 1

    The streaming service is in no way responsible for the leak, it's obviously from a screener (since there is even a blurred out watermark in the corner of the screen). I would have gladly paid for the streaming service (I am 'lucky' enough to be a Cablevision customer), but fuck them for charging $15 a month for it AND making me wait a day after airing. Game of Thrones is the only show I want from HBO currently and I'm not spending $15 for a fraction of the content offered by Hulu or Netflix.

  21. Re: Must example set of him on Florida Teen Charged With Felony Hacking For Changing Desktop Wallpaper · · Score: 5, Informative

    In the defense of our continent sized nation, Florida is the laughing stock of America.

  22. Re: You Don't Know Jack...on Netflix? on Netflix Algorithm Tells You When Your Best Employee Is About To Leave You · · Score: 2

    They still make them. The jackbox party pack is on steam and consoles, you use your smartphone as the buzzer now. It is nifty

  23. Re:EA killed bioware years ago on BioWare Announces Open-Source Orbit Project · · Score: 1

    Except of course Jade Empire which also had action based combat.

  24. Re:I do not understand on Sen. Feinstein Says Anarchist Cookbook Should Be "Removed From the Internet" · · Score: 1

    The way to remove her is through the primary election, but to do so you have to go up against your own party's leadership. All of whom have long allied with the incumbent. Even in cases where the party's nominee has no chance in the general election (such as Corzine and Buono in the last two NJ gubernatorial elections) the local party organizations won't even consider other primary contenders (who might even win the general election), so it is a huge uphill battle that requires a massive amount of money. No one who is voting for her is going to vote Republican because both parties are too far away from the center to get enough crossover.

  25. Re:Just Tesla? on New Jersey Removes Legal Impediment To Direct Tesla Sales · · Score: 1

    That's how it is now, how often do you see new car dealers selling both Ford and GM?
