  1. Re:New desktop? on 'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th · · Score: 1

    Users have been begging for a mid-range desktop forever. I suspect they will still be begging after October 20.

  2. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 1

    If you make a declaration against your own interest, it is usually admissible against you. At least in the States. So no, admitting you caused world peace won't make it true.

  3. Re:Walled garden discussions on An iPhone App Store That Apple Doesn't Control · · Score: 1

    Huh? You mean have people left AOL? Am I the last one? Where's the light switch?

  4. Re:Uh... no issues? on Climategate's Final Days · · Score: 1

    "3.no proof either that anything we do can change anything about it." The ecological havoc caused by one volcano in Iceland proves that.

  5. Re:Quite impressive, but still fundamentally flawe on Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Arrives For Android · · Score: 1

    This is not a proper /. post. The author actually tested the thing he is commenting on. Then he actually thought about what he was going to write before he posted it. Finally his post contains no flames or trolls.

  6. Re:Christ! Really? It's come to this? on Apple iAd Drawing Antitrust Scrutiny · · Score: 1

    Then don't download the software. I write apps for a living; either I charge you money up front or I put ads in the application, and I give you the option of which you want. If you find having both of those options unfair, then just pretend I don't offer a free version.

    Actually that's only the case for the general audience. For you, I'd prefer it if you didn't use my apps at all -- you're probably a customer service nightmare, too, and not worth the bother. Of course, you also probably don't actually own an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, and are just being a righteously indignant douche; in which case, this is all academic.

    Yes, an ad hominem retort is always the most effective reply.

  7. Maybe there's another reason.... on Microsoft Sues Salesforce.com Over Patents · · Score: 1

    Why Microsoft is angry. http://valleywag.gawker.com/384221/salesforce-to-become-an-all+mac-shop Revenge is a dish best served cold. (Or something like that.)

  8. "Information is a distraction" on Obama Calls Today's Ubiquitous Gadgets and Information "a Distraction" · · Score: 1

    But Apple said 1984 won't be like 1984.

  9. We will hunt them down...... on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" And thus was the origin of SkyNet.

  10. Re:Evacuate this universe! on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 1

    Of course the universe can tolerate a paradox. Spock told us so in the last Star Trek movie!

  11. St; Louis/Phoenix UFO Connection? on 250-Foot Hybrid Airship To Spy Over Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Remember the Phoenix lights and the St. Louis UFO reports? Observers in both cases stated an object large enough to blot out most of the sky floated slowly overhead. Maybe this is our UFO.

  12. The Krona Spewing ATM on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    "Maximum Overdrive," anyone

  13. Re: UN Plans Asteroid Response Framework on UN Plans Asteroid Response Framework · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the UN will come up with an efficient solution to the problem, which all member nations will immediately ratify. Just like the UN always does.

  14. The ads seem to heading somewhere on Microsoft Causes Internal Family Strife · · Score: 1

    Not a big MS fan here, but if the "point" of the ads is to make MS more approachable and less hated, they may work. I found the latest ad pretty funny.

  15. Favorite Da Da on OS/2 Community Tries Bounty System · · Score: 1

    On No: The OS/2 crowd is starting to act like Amiga diehards.
