Comment Le sigh (Score 0) 156

I know it is unscientific of me, but I hate it when the answer is so much less interesting than the mystery. Not because I dislike seeing a mystery solved but because when the answer is mundane it just means we have to look else where for the really earth shaking discoveries. Hopefully some day in my life time we will make some truly earth shaking discovery. I remain optimistic.

Comment Re:Another Young Idealist Casualty (Score 2) 506

If he still believes that he made it far longer than I did, I think I was about twenty before I realized that the USA doesn't live up to the Hype. Sure we were founded on some great stuff, freedom of speech is a big one but if our government ever lived up to the ideals set out in it's founding documents it wasn't in my life time.

Comment Look as much as I like Mars (Score 4, Interesting) 79

Mars is nice guys but lets go a place a little more interesting with our unmanned probes, like one of the interesting moons around our solar systems Gas giants.

Lets send a manned mission to Mars, and send our robots places that have a higher chance of yielding some really interesting data. Data that even use armchair geeks can get excited about.

Comment These really aren't much (Score 4, Insightful) 182

These really aren't much in the way of system requirements. Which just shows how this extended console generation has had an affect on PC graphics development. Though I'm not complaining it saves me money in the long run, and forces programmers to learn how to do more with less hardware which isn't a bad thing for the most part.

Comment Just from my personal experiance (Score 1) 203

I don't have cable, and I don't really watch TV. That said I typically hear about shows from friends, co workers etc and end up going on line to check them out. If I like them I tend to watch the entire series online.

Typically these shows are on pirate/rogue tv sites and I have to fish through dead links to find working ones. Why? Because I can't watch current or even last seasons episodes online from legit sources 95% of the time.

Now after I watch a show I'll get hooked and watch all of it and then stop and later if the series is done I'll typically buy a box set, when I get in the mood to watch it again. Why simple because finding working links to non legit sites is a hassle and I don't bother to do it.

This year though with the shutdown of megavideo I find myself watching far less tv shows, infact I'm pretty much clueless on the new tv shows that were released this seasons, I've not watched any nor am I following any. Because of this it is pretty unlikely that I'll end up buying any full season dvds/bluerays
