  1. Ahhhhh wrong thread on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 1

    Sorry, this went to the wrong thread...Be nice mods. :(

  2. Floating Cities. on IRS Looking at Google/Mozilla Relationship · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'd say Venus. There has always been speculation about floating cities on the planet. It's surface area would not be habitable by humans, but at a specific altitude, the atmosphere is just right for human life.

    I know it sounds far fetched, but I would be interested in seeing if we could really pull something like this off...Almost Jetsons style.

  3. No problem on Monty Python Banks On the Long Tail Via YouTube · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I had no problem getting a few ads to watch something online. Much like Hulu's service. If they want to start something like this, go for it! This is how it should be done.

  4. Re:She had it coming on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    Dude they were married. I'd give my wife access as well, but I trust she wouldn't make a bad choice.

  6. Why use that? on The Shady Business Practices of Classmates.com · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why use Classmates.com when you have Myspace.com or Facebook.com

    Seems to be the best way (For me at least) to stay in touch with old High School pals.

  7. Re:What? on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    I wonder what they classify as a "Failure" Because there is no way an iPhone is more stable than a Blackberry.

  8. What? on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    Sure maybe the hardware is more reliable, but the software is terrible. I'd love to have my old blackberry back. Seriously that was the most stable thing I've ever owned. Email always worked, browser while not as good, never crashed on me, never had an issue with reception, and never had an issue with dropped calls.

  9. Re:It's going down the toilet on New EVE Online Expansion Detailed · · Score: 1

    Uhh...I may be loosing my mind here, but it appears that graph is going up, or remaining the same....Not a decline.

    But what do I know....

  10. Re:It's going down the toilet on New EVE Online Expansion Detailed · · Score: 4, Informative

    Declining? I'm showing 21 thousand on right now, and that seems about right for this time of day.

    I haven't seen any major change in population status in some time, so I think obvious troll is obvious.

  11. Don't care. on iTunes On OS X Finally Has Competition · · Score: 1

    I just want something that will let me drag and drop my music onto my device.

  12. Well... on When Does Powering Down Servers Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    Does it make much of a difference if all your servers plug into a rack mount UPS that draws the same amount of power regardless of the devices running?

  13. Re:Define "Winning" on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    Basically we want it to where the Iraqi's can establish their own government and be able to fend off anyone who might try to take them over. We want them to be able to establish themselves.

    Sorry to sound redundant, but let's not forget Ron Paul's record gains that one day. (I forget when it was)

  15. Blocking owners? on Nintendo Blocks Homebrew Installation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Those not installing this update are blocked out of the Wii Shop channel and in the future may be blocked out of certain games.

    Uh, so let's say Jimmy purchases a Wii, takes it home with his new game and tries to play but it won't let him because the Wii has yet to be updated.

    Are you saying that now Wii owners are required to have Internet access in order to update the console to let them play games?

  16. Re:Why? on First Mars-Goers Should Prepare For a One-Way Trip · · Score: 1

    What I meant by that was more gravity on Mars than on the moon. (Hence the reference to the moon landing)

  17. Why? on First Mars-Goers Should Prepare For a One-Way Trip · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Now before I speak I didn't RTFA....

    But why can't the ship return home? I don't think it's an issue of weather or not someone can come home, but how long the trip will take.

    Once you reach outer space and are going a certain speed, am I right when I say you don't have to continue propelling yourself through the air? Just glide out towards Mars until you arrive. Much like the moon landing, once you finish your business, can't you just lift off and go home? Sure there is more gravity on Mars so the amount of force to put you in space will require more fuel, but again though...It's the same concept right? It just travel time.

  18. Are you kidding? on Russia Mandates Free Software For Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Seriously? On these Pro-Torrent threads, you have everyone and their dog claiming. "Oh I just torrent Linux distro's and yada yada yada"

    You would think the internets would be flooded with Linux distro's.

  19. Warcraft III on A Look At Successful Game Mods · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think Warcraft III was the only game that I played where I never actually played the normal game. I always had some kind of mod like Tower D, or DoTa.

  20. Simple solution. on Computers Causing 2nd Hump In Peak Power Demand · · Score: 5, Funny

  22. Re:Poor arguments against it on Sex Offender E-Mail Registry Signed Into Law · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Gun laws do not prevent felons from using guns to commit crimes. They do, however, mean that felons who use guns to commit further crimes get to stay in prison for much longer because of having violated those gun laws in addition to whatever crime they committed with the gun. That's what this law is about. It won't keep some perv from using mailnator to set up a myspace page, but if they get caught trolling myspace with it, the fact that they didn't register their e-mail address means that they get a longer prison sentence. That's the whole point.

    Then why not just make the sentence more harsh for second time offenders rather than create another law to increase the time in jail?

  23. To bad... on Australian State May Give Students Linux Laptops · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    To bad they won't be able to surf websites such as Slashdot, Fark, or whatever else might be considered offensive to the government.

  25. Re:review copy on Fallout 3 Gets Leaked, Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    Reviews do not do justice.

    Perfect example was Dirt, a new racing game. I was stoaked when the game came out looking forward to it, but when I downlodaed and played it...It just didn't grab me like I thought it would. 50 bucks saved.
