  2. The McGuyver Solution on Satellite Debris Forces ISS Crew Into Rescue Craft · · Score: -1

    Add a proximity radar and a 10 foot radius shield on a pool cleaner type arm. Using some basic hydraulics they could position the shield between the station and oncoming objects.

    (-1 for having an opinion!)

  3. My dad is going to love this article on US Forgets How To Make Trident Missiles · · Score: -1

    He worked on the Trident.

  4. Kind of a useless test on New iMac, Mac Mini Benchmarks Show Changes Are Slight · · Score: -1

    This guy didn't include video performance and the main upgrade to the Mac Mini is the video card. Its also holds 4GB of RAM.

  5. Ice not shrinking as much as alarmist say on 3-Man Team Begins Ice-Survey Trek To the North Pole · · Score: -1

    Recently it has been discovered that there are defective sensor(s). Ice about the size of California has been "discovered"

  6. Re:Ordinary on First Solar Eclipse Recorded From Moon · · Score: -1

    Actually, I wasn't thinking about the full moon, I was thinking about the one day a month when there is no moon because the sun's rays are some how blocked.

  7. Re:Serenity Now! on NASA Contest To Name ISS Module · · Score: -1

    The whole scoring system is out of whack. If you don't say something people agree with, they label you a troll. You also have to be a Democrat; Libertarians get no love. I am going to get a minus 1 just for posting this comment if Slash lets me post at all.

    I vote for "Serenity."

  8. Ordinary on First Solar Eclipse Recorded From Moon · · Score: -1

    Doesn't the a moon perspective solar eclipse happen every day? Or at least once a month?

  9. The losing a baby complaaint is illogical on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: -1

    THis is common problem with people - they cannot separate their personal life form work. Whether or not this lady lost her baby is irrelevant to the economic health of the company. We don't let companies dictate when we can have our babies, therefore letting your baby dictate when you can be let go is a fallacy.

  10. Pirates are criminals on Pirate Bay Founder Begs For Hacker Ceasefire · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Just as hackers are criminals. ...Look at what those who support pirating copyrighted material do! Get a freakin job and pay a dollar for the song like a grown up.

  11. BS on The Role of Experts In Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    So we are going to have "experts" who aren't necessarily right or factual, but they have a rubber stamp on their ass by the "system". History is interpretation. Science interpretation. Politics is cover-up. Its all subjective.

  12. Who Cares? on Researchers Warn of Possible BitTorrent Meltdown · · Score: -1, Troll

    Most of torrent material is piracy as it is. Sites like Hulu.com ABC.com, CW, Amazon, Netflix and even Apple iTunes Store are making media easy to obtain. There is no need to support torrent as a vidio-audio media delivery system is you aren't a thief.

  13. Re:why you hating monopolies on Firefox Exec Says Windows Bundling Is a Bad Idea · · Score: 0

    Just because something is a monopoly doesn't make it bad. Democrats have a majority monopoly of the House, Senate, Executive branch and Supreme Court. Are you saying Democrat ideology is bad? Nationalized health care would also be a monopoly... A monopoly is bad only when it fails to address the needs it serves. Not just because it exists.

  14. Showmanship? That's terrorism on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 0

    Coal pollution is so bad, that a recent Wired article says that auto emissions are negligible in comparison.

  16. BLurb is inaccurate on Senate Approves 4-Month Delay In Digital TV Switch · · Score: 0

    "coupons, available from the government to offset the cost of a $40 converter box" ... that is not correct. Converter boxes are a variety of brices, not $40. The coupon is worth $40. Additionally, the people running this thing have determined that the people selling the boxes are jacking up the price in addition to the $40 coupon - because of the coupon. (More or less proving the coupon is not necessary)

  17. How is this "change"? on Obama Proposes Digital Health Records · · Score: 0

    Creating busy work for a bunch of unskilled and under educated people to make data entry errors on all our records is not change. That's business as usual for the government.

  18. What idiot came up with "katrina like" on Is a 'Katrina-Like' Space Storm Brewing? · · Score: 0

    There is no government corruption and failure in space. No inadequate levees. No "below sea level" development. What the hell does Katrina-like mean?

  19. wait a minute on Another Attempt At Using the Courts To Suppress an Online Review · · Score: 0

    From the summary you are say he's posting accusations to yelp about the relationship with the insurance company? That's not a review, that's slander.

  20. lol u go socisim :P on Dell Closes Ireland Plant; 2nd Largest Employer · · Score: 0

    from wikipedia "The national minimum wage is 8.65 per hour for full time staff over the age of 18 -- this is one of the highest in the world. From 2007, someone working 39 hours per week at this rate is exempt from income tax, as earned income below 17,600.00 per year is not taxed."

    also "State provided old age pensions are also relatively generous in Ireland. The maximum weekly rate for the State Pension (Contributory) is 223.30 for a single pensioner aged between 66 and 80 (423.30 for a pensioner couple in the same age range).[45] The maximum weekly rate for the State Pension (Non-Contributory) is 212.00 for a single pensioner aged between 66 and 80 (352.10 for a pensioner couple in the same age range).[46]"

    Its a simple equation: artificially high wages, benefits, and taxation equals bye bye jobs

  21. Re:Customer Tracking on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 0

    Nah, I think he is a reg Best Buy customer and they have his profile on record. Fry's and Apple Store know who I am via the credit card.

  22. unfair but is it unreasonable? on Overzealous AirTran Boots 9 Passengers Off · · Score: 0

    if you are a Muslim and the Muslims are known for acts of suicide terrorism, its not too brite to say things that might be construed the wrong way. Just like you don t dress like a gang member if you dont want to be treated as such, or a Hollywood profile drug carrier etc

    On one hand we are outraged by these events but on the other hand we allow our government zero tolerance for terrorist events or accidents to happen. If you want to be safe, you have have to sacrifice liberty.

  23. Banks collapsed for two simple reasons on Trick or Treatment · · Score: 0

  24. Re:ScuttleMonkey doesn't even read TFS on Hacked Business Owner Stuck With $52k Phone Bill · · Score: 0

    I totally agree, personal equipment = personal responsibility. Its time for Canadians - and Americans - take responsibility for their personal issues. Things happen in life that suck. For a security company the should have insurance for this kind of thing.

  25. Who's paying? on What Restrictions Should Student Laptops Have? · · Score: 0

    If the school district and tax payers are providing the computers, the computers should only run apps the school district approves of. And, if the computer has internet access, the schools routers should block any sites that are not pre-approved. I don't want my kid looking at porn, religious sites, atheist sites, and crazy liberal blogs like Slashdot.
