  1. Right around the corner on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 2

    are data caps that will essentially kill Netflix streaming by adding a massive 'overage' fee by exceeding the limits. And of course, the nut-less FCC will do absolutely nothing in response.

  2. Flight of the Phoenix on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    I saw this (the original, not the remake) available via streaming in Netflix and put it in my Instant Que. A few weeks later, I went to watch it...not available. I had to get a disc sent to me because the capricious Content Lords think Three Card Monte is a legit business practice.

  3. I reserve the right on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    to complain about any of my bills more than doubling.

  4. Online Banking on A Linux Distro From the US Department of Defense · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good distro to use for on-line banking - assuming your bank doesn't require flash running in IE6, which in the US, is a 50-50 proposition.

  5. Yes but on Peter Adekeye Freed, Judge Outraged At Cisco's Involvement · · Score: 1

    he's a black foreigner, so it doesn't matter.

  6. If it weren't for religion on Atlantis Lands, Ending the Shuttle Era · · Score: 1

    we'd be traveling amongst the stars by now.

    Damn, I'm pissed off.

  7. Any one notice on Jury Acquits Citizens of Illegally Filming Police · · Score: 2

    That at any given hour, on any given day, there is at least one cop drama playing on cable tv? You know the shows: the bad guys are pure evil and all the cops are the whitest of white hats.

    I'm beginning to think there is a mandate for these shows to be pervasive, just to broadcast the message: do not question authority and the organs of enforcement as they are beyond reproach.

  8. What it IS useful for on Police To Begin iPhone Iris Scans · · Score: 1

    is building up a vast database of DNA profiles, ready to duplicate and add to crime scenes or evidence. No more stone-cold whodunnits and my, our political enemies sure are starting to commit a lot of crimes, aren't they? And given that juries are as dumb as a bag of hammers on the subject (DNA match = guilt)...

  9. Re:Does it matter? on TSA Body Scanners To Show Less Revealing Images · · Score: 1

    These people will react with lethal force using their own fists, feet, and teeth if they must to take that person down.

    I suspect even now, a lot of those people will assume and hope someone else will do the take down.

  10. You smell that? on Fake Apple Stores Mushrooming In China · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It smells like...Karma.

  11. Only one usage I can think of on Do Two-Screen Laptops Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    Backgammon

  12. The opposite on Linux Receives 20th Birthday Video From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    can most definitely not be said, however.

  13. FBI on FBI Executes Nationwide Raid of Anonymous Members · · Score: 1

    21st century Pinkertons.

  14. The affiliate problem on Borders Books, Dead At 40 · · Score: 1

    Your used books and games from Amazon mostly come via their affiliate network. But because of greedy, desperate states, the network is being chopped away like the Black Night as Az refuses to give into state-based extortion. Until the Supremes rule on this - and given Scalia and his shadow, it won't be good - this used market won't be around for much longer.

  15. Fine and all on Anonymous To Release Sun, News of the World Emails · · Score: 0

    but I want the GOP propaganda machine known as Fox 'News' exposed for what they are. Now.

  16. iAltimeter on iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket · · Score: 1

    I assume it he also used free-range airplane and fair trade parachute. #Hipster

  17. Yes on NASA Probe Orbiting Asteroid Vesta · · Score: 1

    the Chinese will be far more benevolent and altruistic than the running dog Yankees.

  18. You just described on Wired Releases Full Manning/Lamo Chat Logs · · Score: 0

    And if you want to use narrow and self defined reasons that support your particular understanding and political viewpoint you are guilty of manipulating the legal system just to satisfy your political and personal viewpoints. You certainly are not defending any legal process.

    You just described the Bush adminstration. But if the lies are big enough and you are powerful enough, you'll never be punished. See also: Sub-Prime Pyramid Scheme.

  19. Re:Tulalip? on Microsoft Social Media Site Accidentally Revealed · · Score: 1

    Intel should sue.

  20. NVIDIA on Open Radeon 3D Driver Runs At 60~70% of Proprietary Driver Speed · · Score: 1

    will never open up fully. And Microsoft will by up their IP at the fire sale to fuck over Linux just a bit more.

  21. Meaning on TSA Announces Pilot of Trusted Traveler Program · · Score: 0

    White people.

  22. Math fail on Netflix Deflects Rage Over Price Increase · · Score: 1

    Why are we complaining about such a small price increase?

    If you think a 78% price increase is small, you better not be doing your own taxes. On second thought; please do.

  23. Oblig on Vodafone Femtocells Rooted, Secret Keys Exposed · · Score: 1

    'Can everyone hear me now?'

  24. Place your bets! on Watch Out Linux, GNU Hurd Coming · · Score: 1

    I've got September being the month that Steve Ballmer starts to intimate Hurd is infringing on Microsoft patents.

  25. New Apple motto on App Uses Facial Profiling To Identify Perps · · Score: 1
