  1. Re:Let Them on Police Officers Seek Right Not To Be Recorded · · Score: 1

    By arguing about whether or not there are safeguards against police brutality, or legal recourses, or any of that, you're sidestepping the critical issue: At some point, you have to trust them. Cameras expose these breaches of trust, but they also fundamentally undermine the system by doing so.

    Please elaborate on how filming police officers undermines the system. i do not see a correlation between the 2

  2. Re:As compared to what? on China Rejects US Piracy Claims As "Groundless" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is a bullying tactic by the american lobbyists to try and get Canada to implement draconian copyright legislation and a DMCA.

  3. Re:Unnecessary if.... on IBM's Patent-Pending Traffic Lights Stop Car Engines · · Score: 1

    they have existed for almost a hundred years. They are called traffic circles. Too bad they seem to be phasing them out everywhere for not being "modern" enough.

    as long as there is porn, the growth will continue (pun intended)

    i receive tons of emails with word "enhance" in them.

  7. Re:Don't worry BP ... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    right....like any of that happened with Exxon after the Valdez. The gasoline market is composed of something called "price signalling" which they all do, so what you are saying will not happen. Also years and years in court will get their fines/lawsuit payouts reduced just as with the Valdez.

  8. Re:It's not really that bad on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The top 10 rated "News" shows are on conservative networks in the US. Please elaborate on your premise of a liberal-biased media.

  10. Re:3D is a gimmick on Do You Have a Secret Immunity To 3D Movies? · · Score: 1

    It's not like colour or sound which make film more engaging and bring it closer to real life, it's a silly add-on which distracts rather than helps to immerse.

    i take it from this quote that you have not seen avatar in 3d at the imax. The 3d does exactly the opposite of what you suggest. It does immerse and does make it more engaging and does bring it closer to real life. 3d done right and for the right purpose is amazing. However, i did get dragged to Clash of the Titans and the 3d was basically none existent and atrocious, as was the movie itself.

    maybe we can cure fundamentalism while we're at it.

  13. Re:News at 11! on Beijing Sweetens Rubbish With Giant Deodorant Guns · · Score: 1

    soon we will be overrun by a giant mutated bug called Deodor-ant.

  14. Re:What the law actually is... on New Zealand Legislature Mulls File-Sharing Bill · · Score: 1

    For the politicians involved doing nothing wasn't politically tenable

    Please tell me why doing nothing wasn't politically tenable if no one in NZ wants a 3 - strikes law? Or is NZ not a sovereign country? Also since they do not play baseball for the most part in NZ couldn't they come up with a sports analogy related to Rugby? This also shows that this is being introduced by a baseball-playing overlord (i..e USA).

  15. Re:Oh God on Tiny ARM-Based Sensor System Makes Battery Replacement Obsolete · · Score: 1

    Please do not contribute to garbage self-awareness.

    i believe the proper term for that is "Ed Hardy shirt wearers suddenly realizing what douches they are"

    Nortan Anti-Virus software is now available for iPhone too. I was wondering when it will become available. Thanks now my iPhone works the same way as PC with Windows :)

    i am not sure if you intentionally or unintentionally spelled Norton wrong. Either way your comment is still funny.

  20. Re:Ugh... on Why Time Flies By As You Get Older · · Score: 1

    say what you want but at least the 80's was not as homogeneous as mainstream fashion and music seem today. Back then all kinds of crazy stuff, whether you liked it or not, made it up from the underground.

    yes but the mule-itary industrial complex will always get its way in the end.

    After all, a chunk of stainless steel does extremely few things (well, actually nothing) but it is the best at it.

    actually there is one thing a chunk of stainless steel can do very well: hit you over the head you idiot
