  1. Re:Why the need of an addy? on FCC Asks You To Test Your Broadband Speeds · · Score: 5, Informative

    Problem is, everybody has to grow up. You address is public already. CHILL. Run the damn test so the FCC can rape comcast and FIOS already so we get the speeds we are paying for!

  2. Re:You're looking at it wrong. on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    Turning the car off, Neutral or Clutch are all valid, PROVEN ways to stop the cars Toyota has recalled. Problem is, people are idiots. Can't fix that with a software update. That being said, almost every car i own has upgraded brakes, and the brake can STOP the car, even with the engine at full tilt. I think braking is majorly overlooked by ALL automakers. Slotted, vented and drilled rotors should be stock on every wheel of every car.

  8. Re:It's Worse Than You think! on $4,400/Yr. Coders May Work On Dept. of Labor Project · · Score: 1

    higher college students. they work for less than normal and really need the money. most of them are better at what they do than the "pros" in the field. as an electrical engineering student that works at a paint store, i speak for us all.

  9. Re:In the words of the great Ken Titus... on US Youth Have Serious Mental Health Issues · · Score: 0

    The generation before ours has made us neurotic, sick, twisted and always afraid of failure. there were kids i went to high school with that were literally BEATEN for getting a B on a test. 3 of them killed themselves before their 18th birthday. 2 are currently in jail. 1 is in a psych ward. What the older generation is not seeing is, because of them, its HARDER to succeed in this generation. There is more competition, and you can't survive on a Non-College degree. And yea, college got harder too. I build computers, cars, ELECTRIC cars and more, but i can barely pass a class in college. Explain that? I'm getting a degree to say i know what i already do. The day they TEACH me something NEW, i will come let everybody know. -21 year old, Electrical Engineering student, electric car builder, C student, fighting the man.

  11. Re:genetic material on Prions Evolve Despite Having No DNA · · Score: 3, Interesting

    People over think evolution way to much. Sure, there are a lot of things going on, but simply put: If you suck at your job, you die. If your good at your job, you make babies. That is evolution in a nutshell. There is a slight deviation in every copy of this protein, and the ones that are better at their job reproduce. Ones that arn't so great at it, have trouble reproducing, or just die off.

    I would be willing to bed 3 internets that they will come with crapware anyway, then just install more as "security updates."

  13. check the eula! on EA Shutting Down Video Game Servers Prematurely · · Score: 1

    EA reserves the right...to screw you out of your money at any time. Ever notice on one of their PC games you can click through the opening logos, except theirs? They have always been evil in my book.
