@mynamesafad: Well, it's the age old argument... what's more likely to fail, the human or the machine?

@izikavazo: No you don't.

@2nd White Line: No I'm not. I just have a very low opinion of most other people's opinions.

@rev02: A critical analysis of your post leads me to believe that you don't actually agree with me.

@HashMaster9000: It's all about not being at the bottom of the totem pole. We may be geeks, but at least we're not fanboys.

@TwinIon: In other words: I'm not a racist, I have black friends.

I'm not a fanboy, I'm a contrarian. I disagree with you on principle.

@chauncy that billups: The other way around would make more sense.

@m1ndtr1p: Link? Sounds hilarious.

@EnemaBagJones: Only the later Apollo missions (15, 16 and 17) had rovers.

@Rob Oakes: That's a good way of putting it. Elegance is the true opposite of complexity, not simplicity. Simplicity is the opposite of power.

@baxtercedar: It wasn't a joke. It was Oliver Heaviside that constructed the modern vector calculus formulation of Maxwell's equations. I'm not familiar with any major contributions to electromagnetics by anyone called Ironside.

@DavidAndrus: I doubt they'd use HDDVD for 360's successor. But it wouldn't be as bad as you think; HDDVD's physical format is just an evolution of DVD. HDDVD disks can be made by a DVD factory with comparatively minor upgrades.

@Jimmy From The Block: Most games are actually pretty streamable, with a little assistance from the developer. There was at least one digital download service that did streaming.

@baxtercedar: Ironside? I think you mean Heaviside. :)

@madisondj: I sincerely hope you're trolling.

@MifuneT: Be careful with that neuroscience research. It's flashy and garners a lot of news attention and grant dollars, but the overall quality of the research and the research methodology is quite poor. (I know two people who got out of that field for that reason). Usually the "results" are greatly exaggerated.

@infinitemonkeys: If the universe is a clockwork contraption and as deterministic as you think, predict radioactive decay.

@gamebrain89: Conversely, just because something has a scientific explanation, doesn't make it not a miracle.

@RuckingFetard: Android actually has a very clever security infrastructure. You're not going to find anything like it until you get to pretty specialized platforms. Unlike normal OSes which assign privileges based on user identity, Android assigns privileges to individual applications. By default, software can only…
