  1. Re:Of course there can. on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 2

    Happy Birthday is the poster child for why copyright is broken. Cultural ubiquity is so high, it should be considered to have lost all copyright.

  2. Re:"Press F1 to continue..." on Dell Dumps Keyboardless Windows RT Tablets · · Score: 1

    Mac can use a bluetooth KB at boot.

  3. Re:Be fair since you aren't being fair ... on Dell Dumps Keyboardless Windows RT Tablets · · Score: 1

    That is Liberty to you?

  5. I would like to point out Notch has his own, one-of-a-kind hat in TF2.

  6. Re:Privacy Issue on Should Cops Wear Google Glass? · · Score: 1

    The camera should be part of the badge/gun combo, privacy be damned.

  7. Re:300 MPH flesh sacks of water on The Smog To Fog Challenge: Settling the High-Speed Rail vs. Hyperloop Debate · · Score: 1

    Thank you for so eloquently proving my point. Invoking 'extrovert' means you are fueling your ego when you do business. Inefficient.

  8. Re:Try claiming "Death to the Great Satan". on Time Reporter "Can't Wait" To Justify Drone Strike On Julian Assange · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Fervently believing that a book, written by men, is the undeniable word of God, should be considered mental illness.

  9. Re:good for him! on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 1

    I really dont understand people who only think of life and death in terms of $. I would go to the ends of the earth for my loved ones, money be damned.

  10. Re:Why illegal? on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 1

    It was meant for the living, not the dead. It was put in place by do-gooders so they could arrest and detain people after an attempted suicide under the auspices of helping them see that living is good.

  11. Re:300 MPH flesh sacks of water on The Smog To Fog Challenge: Settling the High-Speed Rail vs. Hyperloop Debate · · Score: 1, Troll

    If you waste money to procure a handshake, you shouldnt be in business.

  12. Re:Only if they have a phrenology test on Feds Target Instructors of Polygraph-Beating Methods · · Score: 1

    Its NOT science, in that you can never come up with a true reading. All you can say is a human responded in certain ways. You have NO WAY of knowing how accurate the machine is. Polygraphs, as used in law enforcement might as well be a crystal ball for all its legal usefulness.

  13. Re:"letting you play previously purchased games." on Microsoft Closes Xbox.com PC Marketplace · · Score: 1

    You can make and log in with LOCAL PROFILEs in GFWL, that never ever go out to the internet. All my GFWL games log in with 'player 1'

  14. Re:OTOH on Transport Expert Insists 'Don't Dismiss Wacky Hyperloop' · · Score: 1

    Right now it costs $24 to take the train, one way, from Irvine to San Diego, about 80 miles..... Somehow i doubt LA to SF at high speed is going to be cheap.

  15. Re:"letting you play previously purchased games." on Microsoft Closes Xbox.com PC Marketplace · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't have lost access to GTA 4, just your save games. All of which can be avoided if you make a LOCAL PROFILE on GFWL.

  16. Re:I'm quite sure... on Google Blocks YouTube App On Windows Phone (Again) · · Score: 2

    The whole thing was comedy gold for anyone who has been watching MS for a long time.

  17. Re:Not so much on Why Internet Television Isn't Quite Ready To Save Us From Cable TV · · Score: 1

    I really wanted to mod you down for using 'social disadvantage' in regards to CABLE TV.

    'and yet it moves'

  20. Re:He's right - Android is eating iOS's lunch on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    I do agree with you, to a point. I stopped calling using a videophone 'facetiming'. Its not a cell phone, it is a pocket computer. etc.

  21. Re:He's right - Android is eating iOS's lunch on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    What do you think itunes does with the files? It puts them in folders according to its internal logic. Sure it scales, but its inflexible. Itunes is just a shitty database.

  22. Re:He's right - Android is eating iOS's lunch on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Why does the realization that you have to have a file manager ON A COMPUTER make you die inside? I die a little inside every time i have to do a full sync to load ONE mp3 on my iphone.

  23. Re:CEOs are overrated on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Its really hard to call NeXT a disaster considering it spawned OSX and was the first web server.

  24. Re:sneaky sneaky on Microsoft: Xbox One Won't Require Kinect To Function · · Score: 2

    Dont dismiss it as paranoid. Its not paranoia when you KNOW someone is collecting that data.

  25. Re:Because of race? on Federal Judge Rules NYC "Stop and Frisk" Violated Rights · · Score: 1

    It falls under different amendments depending on the reasoning used to justify the action. You cant fight it on the 4th due to 'safety' overriding Liberty in the modern era, but its much easier to attack on the equal protection clause.
