  1. Re:Affordable? on Windows 8 and Screen Resolution: WXGA Still Most Popular · · Score: 1

    Owning a house is cheaper than renting where i live. And marriage is a tax break.

  2. Re:Affordable? on Windows 8 and Screen Resolution: WXGA Still Most Popular · · Score: 1

    I am an engineer who is buying his first house, marrying his girl, paying for his first new car, and trying to convert a car to electric to avoid 8$ gas. You're apparently living my dream life. BTW, i'm posting this from a 400$ 8 core computer. I'd love to have money to burn like you.

    Can i borrow your Lambo?

  4. I agree, we have no need for pistols. However, it's to late to prevent them from existing. Nothing we can do about that now.

  5. But, experience has proven that to not be true. You can't simply take away every gun in the world. If you could, it would work. But you can't, so they will still exist. Also, as long as there is one gun, everyone else will be under the owners thumb.

  6. Re:Plan B. on Stolen iPad's Reported Location Not Enough To Warrant Search, Say Dutch Police · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Exactly. I do not own a gun, but the simple matter is: Bad guys have illegal guns, no matter how illegal they are. Good guys only have guns if they are legal. Taking away our right to protection does not take away the bad guys' illegal guns.

    ... and the American government is still 100% retarded. More at 11.

    Bitcoins, clearly.

  11. To the government... on When Are You Dead? · · Score: 1

    ... you're legally dead the instant you stop paying taxes.

  12. Shouldn't it say: on Facebook Tests 'Safe' User Tag For Disasters · · Score: 1

    "Safe for now.... posted at 10:01EST" I mean, what if the aftershock gets them? Who's going to update their status to "Dead"?

  13. closed source? on HP CEO Says Google-Motorola Deal Could Close-Source Android · · Score: 1

    Maybe they will fix the damn bugs if someone pays them to do it.

    That has never mattered for Apple....

    ...as opposed to closing your eyes and chucking darts at the same list.

    However, it does extend the operating life of your LCD.

  16. Re:They could make the contest title more musical. on The 20th IOCCC Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    That would obfuscate the mission and message of the competition, and that is clearly not the goal here.

    The problem here: Now stupid people's thoughts will be archived, not just the smart few.

  20. Re:nope, there's a real unlimited option on CRTC Says Rogers Violating Federal Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Crap. Highest in my area is 25mbps down, 10 up. You never see those speeds either.

  21. Re:Why the Apple reference? on How Much LTE Spectrum Do Big Carriers Have? · · Score: 1

    The reference, was not to their 4G capabilities, but their tendency to explode!

    And then snort it?

  23. Re:I suspect there is an additional handling charg on TSA Makes $400K Annually In Loose Change · · Score: 1

    It would be suspicious if NO loose change was accounted for. I'd suspect nearly half goes in pockets.

  24. Re:Fine. Kill software patents. on US Report Sees Perils To America's Tech Future · · Score: 1

    We need to make a law about who gets the patent. If all my hard work goes directly to my company, and i see nothing out of it, why should i bother? Prevent this, and i feel a lot more ideas will see the light. Also, make the process public and easy. Why do i need to hire a lawyer just to file a patent?

  25. Re:They should concentrate their efforts... on Makers Keep Flogging 3D TV, Viewers Keep Shrugging · · Score: 1

    I know that. I built my own... The problem is you can't buy a monitor of a decent size for under 2000$. and even then, it has speakers an video wall hardware. i just want a panel and a DVI to LVDS converter.(built one of those too, but cant make it HDCP compliant. While i don't care at all, my video sources do.)
