  1. Only one party on McCain Asks For Committee On Wikileaks, Anonymous · · Score: 1

    the party of IP whores.

  2. Re:Nonsense! on New "Last Dinosaur" Find Backs Asteroid Extinction · · Score: 1

    I heard it was because they couldn't learn how to ride a fixie or write their musings in a molskine.

    - An actual agnostic Kansan

  3. Heh on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 1

    Where did it go, and what did it do?

    The same place the $6 billion 'lost' in Iraq went. Let's just say, Dick Cheney won't be the only evil bastard that lives forever.

  4. Decline and Fall on Last NASA Spacewalk Marks End of Era · · Score: 1

    of the American Empire. Towards the end, I think Rome also used all it's money on armies defending rotting, ignored infrastructure.

  5. Whereas modern Republicans say on Slate: Amazon's Tax Stance Unfair and Unethical · · Score: 2

    "Paul Revere, shootin' his guns and ringin' his bell, doncha know!"

    The history of the US is becoming a sad example of intellectual erosion on an exponential scale.

  6. Bet your ass on Law Enforcement Still Wants Mandatory ISP Log Retention · · Score: 1

    they also want an exemption from this Panopticon for law enforcement officers and their families. Another one for lawmakers and their staff will be added during legislation. Pigs.

  7. Nobody on Google+ Already At 10 Million Users · · Score: 1

    puts Baby in a Circle!!

  8. Meaning on Windows 8 Will Run On All Current PC Hardware · · Score: 1

    Old wine in new bottles.

  9. Because a man with a Supercomputer on JPMorgan Rolls Out FPGA Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    can steal more money than any man with a gun.

    With apologies to Don Henley.

  10. A Really Bad Name on How Google+ Measures Up On Privacy · · Score: 1

    As Josh Topolsky pointed out, you have to enquote "Google+" to search for info related to Google+ #Fail

  11. email on Firefox 8 20% Faster Than Firefox 5 · · Score: 1

    If not, an email gets sent to the addon developer alerting them to the fact their addon is broken, and what exactly is broken about it.

    Of course, the email will only render correctly in beta 11.32a of Thunderbird, but any developer worth their own salt would already be on that version.

  12. Follow the jurors on Apple Ordered To Pay $8M For Playlist Patents · · Score: 1

    Do any of them suddenly have new cars, bass boats, or houses that seem rather beyond their incomes? HAS ANYONE LOOKED? Hell, I'd be curious if the area around this cash register in the form of a federal courthouse is seeing an inexplicable boom in new residents.

  13. Metalocalypse on RIAA Math: Sell 1 Million Albums, Still Owe $500k · · Score: 1

    You must have missed the episode when the band bests the devil and his contract for their souls due to their long experience with a far greater evil: record companies.

  14. Order of Failure on Could PSTN Go Away By 2018? · · Score: 1

    During natural disasters of various types, the first to go: Cell towers; seond: Cable TV / Broadband; third: power; forth: POTS.

    Careful what you wish for.

  15. Oh by all means on IETF Mulls Working Group For IPv6 Home Networking · · Score: 1

    let's have Cisco at the table, even if only to act as a moral compass.

  16. Liquidation = destruction of evidence on Voicemail Hack Scandal Leads To Closure of UK Tabloid · · Score: 1

    Apparently, once a company is shut down for liquidation, all the documents and records can be destroyed. That's the real reason for the shutdown. And as corrupt as the Cameronites are, they will allow this and probably help speed things up as they are just as guilty as News Corp.

  17. Another reason on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 1

    More and more companies and schools are forbidding folks from having their cell phones on most of the day. Frequent flyers might be coming to the same conclusion. That, and even if well-hammered, it isn't really possible to drop ones wristwatch (as opposed to a three-figure talkie box).

  18. Re:Punish Trolls on Lawyer Attempts To Trademark Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    If by 'fine' you mean 'bury in Death Valley', I have a shovel you can borrow.

  19. Yes but on EU Proposal: Shift Farming Subsidies To Science · · Score: 1

    I sure know a lot of family owned farms here in east central Illinois that take the subsidy programs.

    And how many of them merely rent the land they till? One of the largest farmland owners in the US has an adress on Park Place, IIRC. Yes preservation of farm families is a good thing, but less so if they are not much more than serfs.

  20. Wrong! on Bill Gates On Energy · · Score: 2

    There are plenty of people terrified of nuclear power

    There are plenty of people terrified of nuclear power executives, cutting corners on design, maintence, staffing, and most especially corrosion prevention and a scientifically valid and permanent EOL date.

  21. Going out on a very short limb on Illegal Film Downloading Up 33% In the UK · · Score: 1

    In the next decade, it will rapidly become impossible to 'buy' music or movies. You will only be able to buy access licenses (keyed to individual hashed hardware ala WGA) to watch a DRM stream. And the licenses will not be for lifetime access, but merely a yearly, monthly, or most likely per-view rental fee.

    Every facet of the future is gonna suck.

  22. As seen by their jump to the Big Ten, on Microsoft Pays University $250K To Use Office 365 · · Score: 1

    Nebraska will do anything for money. Anything.

  23. Expecting morality from banks on Banks Faulted For Fake Antivirus Scourge · · Score: 1

    is akin to expecting poetry from Pit Bulls.

  24. A sock a day on Scientists Put an End To Smelly Socks · · Score: 1

    keeps the doctor away!

    /burp

  25. IP Death Squads on Patent Troll Goes After Notebook Cooling · · Score: 1

    That's what we need to deal with patent trolls; swift, silent, professional. And with their work done: a great leap forward in tech, unfettered by bottom-feeding extortionists.
