Comment Re:Where was this class for me? (Score 1) 1021

you completely missed my point, obviously you don't like wall-e or the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. and just because you don't like them you think they should be excluded completely from the education system. its that type of backward thinking that makes the US higher education system the shit hole that it is now. "agree with me and ill give you an A!"

as i was taught, all fiction was rooted with the immature reader in mind to make an escape but not for that sole purpose. entertainment in a lot of ways does a lot to inform and get people to think. it certainly gets people to actually care anyway. why do you think the movie industry makes movies that have meaning or a message behind them? wall-e is a good example of an entertaining film, yet it teaches us the consequences of having everything handed to us and what could happen. entertaining sci-fi yet informative and thought provoking.

Comment Re:Batteries are history (Score 1) 650

well, if you read later in my comment, that's kind of what i meant when i said "too bad they cant make anything that puts out more power... yet." Im fully aware of the problems with super capacitors, but i think if they can get it working properly, it will be a better solution than battery swapping or somehow designing one with a 500 mile range

Comment solar cars? (Score 1, Interesting) 650

maybe we could incorporate this into that plan to make solar panel roads. cars built with big antennas that scrape along a metal wire above and a metal wheel that runs along the conductive yet somehow transparent material below. everyone will want fords new trollymobile and all of our energy problems will be solved!

Comment pennyless but virus free (Score 1) 465

maybe im the most ignorant one here, but for years i have been living virus free with a simple anti-virus subscription (avast! home edition if your curious) and good surfing practices without forking out a cent. i see some of these people who have viruses up the nose because they like to click on or download whatever shiny thing catches their eye and it signals a big red flag for anyone smart enough to connect the dots when your trying to get rid of a virus on someones computer and they have all the latest downloads from bigfishgames. i don't think its really the program that you have to depend on as much as it is your own habits. of course all i do is browse the web as far as online interactions go.
