  1. Re:world ramifications... on The NSA Is Looking For a Few Good Geeks · · Score: 1

    What I find somewhat unusual is the widespread belief that others are able to dictate ones rights.

  2. Re:Man i hate this game on Red Cross Wants Consequences For Video-Game Mayhem · · Score: 3

    The Red Cross might use its high-profile brand to mailshot politicians and armed-forces leaders. They have an opportunity to lead by example - once they've learned that "there are consequences to war-crimes" - aren't there Bush/Obama/Blair/etc? oh wait...

  5. Re:Nothing to worry about, get back to work serfs! on London Tube Cleaners Don't Want Fingerprint Clock-in · · Score: 1

    There's a limit to the productivity offered by chatting whilst making coffee, chatting about making coffee, taking phone calls at maximum volume, recounting anecdotes at maximum volume, having meetings about how best to coordinate the efforts of the whole team to accomplish a task that a six-year old could master in an hour, etc.....

    Ah, the joys of home-working :D

    In fact, don't return until you've prepared a troll other than "blah blah blah Ayn Rand blah blah blah."

    Kidnappings? Track-cleaners have been known to escape their drudgery by escaping to freedom with the mole-people.

  8. Re:Go After the Lawyers also on Doubleclick Cofounder Responds to Patent Troll by Filing Extortion Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wouldn't camaraderie amongst the legalistas prevent this getting off the ground?

  12. Re: No service. on Prankster Calls NSA To Restore Deleted E-mail · · Score: 1

    If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck. What you should be asking is why and what comes after that.

  13. Re:Yet another anti-Obama article on Court: NRC In Violation For Not Ruling On Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1

    The checks and balances in our government are what stands between a successful government of the people and a dictatorship.

    /me slaps you around the head with a trout. "Wake up dude". In what sense do you have a democracy? Really?

  14. Re:Who cares what it is on EFF Slams Google Fiber For Banning Servers On Its Network · · Score: 1

    As consumers become more capable on average, there's less opportunity to sell a service delivering the modern-day equivalent of writing your own name.

    Ding ding, round n of "Boo-hoo :-( you make better phones than us and we can't find a way to collect 'our' money from 'our' customers via phone sales with you in the market."

    No, I didn't RTFS or RTFA.

  16. Re:What... on Give Zebrafish Some Booze and They Stop Fearing Robots · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the robot fish will be dispensing the alcohol. An aquatic version of bender?

  23. Re:Big stars, bigger explosions.... on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    Ditto. The last decent film I've seen at the cinema was Haywire - slick as a greased Enron Exec, despite the 5.9 on imdb.

    Sadly, we've seen over twenty films since then :S

  24. Re:Pacific Rim Not a flop on Hollywood's Love of Analytics Couldn't Prevent Six Massive Blockbuster Flops · · Score: 1

    It's good to see that the social-media team at your firm is pushing this message so hard in this thread. Keep it up!!!

    Perhaps hollywood have just abandoned plot and are exploring the relationship between marketing budget and take?

    Good luck to them.
