  1. More likely reason on Google Drops Cloud Lawsuit Against US Government · · Score: 1

    they lost the brief they had saved in Google Docs.

  2. Downside on Sesame Street Begins Teaching Math and Science · · Score: 1

    Every answer is repeated by some purple dude in a cape, who then laughs: "ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!!!"

    /Get your learn on, Aight?

  3. Thanks for helping on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    , loyal worker bee.

  4. Ron White 2.0 on Microsoft Disables Kelihos Botnet · · Score: 1

    "You can't patch stupid."

  5. US Broadcast TV on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    Anyways, my question is why is there such a media gap about this protest?

    Lesse; CBS Corporation, ABC owned by Disney, NBC owned by Comcast/GE, Fox owned by Newscorp (Murdoch)... hmm. Nope, no idea why we're not hearing about anti-corporate protests.

  6. Click on Facebook Fixes Post Log-Out Cookie Behavior · · Score: 1

    'Unfollow Nik Cubrilovic' -- Facebook

  7. possibly on Faster-Than-Light Particle Results To Be Re-Tested · · Score: 1

    you almost have to assume that preliminary findings migrate across the Atlantic pretty quickly.

    One might say, even at the speed of... ah, skip it.

  8. The ultimate unguessable Apple password on Aussie Researcher Cracks OS X Lion Passwords · · Score: 1

    ImaPC.

  9. Executive Summary on US Gov't Pays IT Contractors Twice As Much As Its Own IT Workers · · Score: 1

    We don't have to pay for contractors' insurance and benefits (and probably neither do the contractors, who might farm out some work to their own contractors). At this rate, whether public or private, the retirement plans for *actual* workers look more and more like the Soylent Green screen play. Or maybe Mad Max.

  10. And on Nov 21st on FCC Finalizes US Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    The GOP-controlled House will move to zero out the FCC budget.

  11. And down the stretch they come! on Verizon Chief Defends AT&T-T-Mobile Merger · · Score: 1

    Immoral corporate greed and inane douchebaggery headed for a photo finish!

  12. All I know on Sources Say Meg Whitman To Become HP CEO · · Score: 1

    is that she best not cancel my Sargasso Sea-becalmed TouchPad order, or I will get plumb sideways with righteous fury.

  13. Re:What about latency? on Alcatel-Lucent Boosts Copper Broadband To 100Mbps · · Score: 1

    The biggest problem of copper is not latency, it's that you have to lay the fucking cable.

    Followed up closely by its subsequent theft.

  14. The old ways are the best. on UK's NHS Will Drop Delayed E-Records Project · · Score: 1

    First comment on the original article regarding getting their money back.... Oh, and here's a nice bit of dodginess: "The costs of the venture should have been lessened by the contracts signed by the IT providers making them liable for huge sums of money if they withdrew from the project; however, when Accenture withdrew in September 2006, then Director-General for NPfIT Richard Granger charged them not £1bn, as the contract permitted, but just £63m. Granger's first job was with Andersen Consulting, which later became Accenture."

    Time to bring back drawing and quartering...

  15. More like on Demystifying UEFI, the Overdue BIOS Replacement · · Score: 1

    UFIA, if Microsoft gets their way.

  16. Mr. Whitehurst, take a bit of that money on First Billion Dollar Open Source Software Vendor · · Score: 1

    and sue the fsck out of Microsoft for character assasination and brinksmanship against thrid party vendors. Force them to show these 'infringements' by Linux or be punished for lying about them for fud and profit.

  17. At the heart of this on What You Eat Affects Your Genes · · Score: 1

    is the true reason in the exponential increase in obesity; industrialized foods that not only alter our metabolism, but our very genes. Perhaps we need to look for microRNA snippets that are generated by BPA and other steroid-like chemicals.

  18. Comcast 'Cares' about propaganda on Comcast Launches Program For Low-Income Families · · Score: 1

    As mentioned before, the launch isn't exactly new, and it was a provision of the NBC/Comcast merger. Nevertheless, it has gotten more attention than usual in the past day or two.

    Especially on NBC affiliates.

  19. About five years on OnStar Terms and Conditions Update Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    Before congressional whores kept by the insurance companies require boxes that collect and transmit all data including speed and position back to corporate and tax HQs. The great migration from the Dust Bowl to California in the 1930s will never happen again, as you (and your debts) will be tracked in real time in perpetuity. #USAUSAUSA

  20. Goddammitsomuch on Casio Paying Microsoft To Use Linux · · Score: 1

    Because MS refuses to name any patent that is violated

    How is this even fucking legal?? Why are they allowed to freely say the equivalent of 'I hear he beats his wife'.??

  21. Finally! on British Govt Debates Swapping Printers For iPads · · Score: 1

    I'm sooo tired of old, busted paper running out of battery life, or the shattered mess it makes when dropped on the floor.

  22. Re:And how bad it becomes when a vuln is found on Intel Shows RealVNC Embedded In the BIOS · · Score: 1

    I'm just as sure that there will be some equally creative way for the good guys to protect this.

    Exactly how can a vulnerability burned into silicon be 'protected'?

  23. Relax on Why You Shouldn't Panic About Closed Source MySQL Extensions · · Score: 1

    You can trust Larry Ellison without question.

  24. Coming soon on Gene Therapy May Thwart HIV · · Score: 1

    Big Pharma is just waiting until their patents on modified T cells are approved (which it will be). Bonus: they'll sue any marrow donor with this mutation for infringement.

  25. Manning on Wealthy Americans Turning To Europe For Medical Treatment · · Score: 1

    Ironically, the main subject of this thread may not return to play this season. But, it may be more of a cynical ploy by the ever-calculating qb to get better draft picks next year to shore-up their perennially terrible defense. The Colts are oh fer two and look to be already on the clock with only the truly god-awful Chiefs ahead of them.
