Comment Re:In the land of the blind... (Score 1) 231

Darth Bane squeezed his father's heart until it stopped using the force. This was before he was trained in the force, so he was neither Jedi nor Sith. Given that, It could be assumed that any force user could do that, but it takes a lot of energy, and if used against another force user, they'd have a hard time.

Comment Cassette vs. CD (Score 3, Insightful) 431

How did the industery react when cassette sales started to slip and CDs soared? Or when 8-track started to slip and cassette soared? Or, or, what ever came before whatever and the older format started slipping to the new format? Oh no, the old way to buy and listen to music is being replaced by the new was to buy and listen to music. I'm sure in 10-15 years they will be complaining because online sales are slipping to, something. *Gets my tin foil hat ready.*

Comment Re:Really? (Score 0, Flamebait) 579

The movie theater I use doesn't have "future tech" allowing it to just know I bought my tickets from Fandango, thus requiring me to print my tickets. The airshow I went to recently also has the same drawback, requiring me to print my tickets. I find a neat recipe online, I print it now instead of adding some needless bookmark, yes, I could write it down, but it wouldn't be neat and I could write something down wrong. I print an online ad for a sale item at a store, so when I bring it to the store with me, I know what it looks like, the model number, and to know if the store is trying to bait and switch me. Again, I could write this info down and draw a sketch, but printing is better. I'm trying to sale something by putting a notice up on the board in my mail room. I can take a pic of the item and include it on the printed post. My daughter likes to color, so I find stuff she likes to color and I print it. I could go on and on. Not everyone lives in your paperless world; and not everyone lives in my print stuff word. Having the option to print and not using it is better then wanting to print and being told to fuck yourself.

Comment The trend on Nintendo Consoles (Score 2, Insightful) 249

Well, if they keep allowing the release of 40 different versions of Imagine Babysitter and Pony Lover DS and whatever else crap takes up 90% of the Nintendo sections in stores, they won't have to worry about piracy, cause no one will want the crap. Push Squenix for a FFVI 3D remake and how about a new Kid Icuras, or New Super Mario Bros. 2 with bigger worlds and the racoon suit from SMB3?

Comment Ambulance (Score 4, Interesting) 388

You wanna see super taskers, look at an ambulance that's driving with it's lights and sirens on. We would clear an intersection, zip around traffic, talk on the radio, plug in addresses into GPS, and eat our lunch all at the same time, while trying to provide a smooth ride for the people in back doing CPR and handling sharp pointy objects.

Comment Re:It is? (Score 2, Informative) 333

Same here. I tried Bing after it came out. I did a comparison of searches for things that are relevant for me, it seemed that both engines returned the same top 20 results. Bing search result pages had more flash and annoying ad types, thus making me stay with Google. In no way was my comparison scientific, but I don't care. It was relevant to me.
I do understand that it may have changed a lot in the past few months, but when your first step is in shit, it's hard to take another step.
