  1. Give it five years on Is Your Electricity Meter Spying On You? · · Score: 1

    until they roll out the monitoring of what is going down your sewer pipe. Both insurance corporations and the morality police would kill for such information and they would literally wade through shit to get it.

  2. Kabuki on FCC Commissioner Leaves To Become Lobbyist · · Score: 1

    The next FCC commissioner, for example, cannot have her over to discuss what Comcast would like changed by the FCC.

    Meaning they will have to dicussion doing Comcast's bidding over a four-star lunch instead.

  3. Oblig on NASA Satellite Snaps First Image of Target Asteroid · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    'That's no moon.'

  4. Re:Two bad reviews on App Store on Developer Blames Apple For Ruining eBook Business · · Score: 1

    Their app only has two reviews, and both of them are bad. Maybe they were going to fail anyway.

    Perhaps the only reviews allowed to remain were those with author initials of 'SJ'.

  5. Re:No Texting While Driving! on Cellphones Get Government Chips For Disaster Alert · · Score: 1

    Or 'Dirty Bomb!!' during an Ohio State - Michigan football game (~100k population).

  6. Amazing on Exabit Transmission Speeds May Be Possible · · Score: 1

    I had no idea conventional modulators had the ability to dream.

  7. And down the stretch they come! on High-Tech Gas Drilling Is Fouling Drinking Water · · Score: 1

    Which will become more rare in the US of A: privacy or potable water?

  8. Linux Appleization on Ubuntu Aims For 200 Million Users In Four Years · · Score: 1

    Next year will probably be that of the Mint desktop. Still should check for Mono infections post-install, though.

  9. You say news on Drudge Generates More News Traffic Than Social Media · · Score: 1

    I say propaganda.

  10. He's on Microsoft's Board on Netflix CEO Hesitant To Fight Cable · · Score: 2

    How much boat-rocking could you expect from such a guy?

  11. dream on on CNET Sued Over LimeWire Client Downloads · · Score: 1

    The same logic (and case-law) should be applied to PirateBay, BitTorrent, Limewire, and (ironically) Sony PS3 DRM firmware hacks.

    By this Scalian (and his shadow) Supreme Court? Not bloody likely.

  12. No on Sony To Offer Free Identity Theft Monitoring · · Score: 1

    The rootkit installed as part of the service will keep your data safe.

  13. Rosetta Stone on Court Clears Novell To Sue Microsoft Over WordPerfect · · Score: 1

    upon carefull examination, a phrase was found in all three languages:

    "Word sucks."

    For the hierogliphs, the winddings font was used.

  14. Hey Europeans on Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile · · Score: 1

    just curious; do your countries also feature road side signs sporting giagantic numbers showing the current price of fuel, or is this just a US oddity?

    I wonder about the psycholigical effect of these literally and figuratively huge numbers - especially in light of the political leanings of those producing both the raw feedstock and finished product.

  15. By the mile = real-time tracking on Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile · · Score: 1

    and that is the true rationale behind this proposal. No more starting your bankrupted dustbowl life over in sunny California.

  16. Re:A reasonable stance on DHS Wants Mozilla To Disable Mafiaafire Plugin, Mozilla Resists · · Score: 2

    How about Department of Fatherland Security instead?

  17. Obviously on Sony Running Unpatched Servers With No Firewall · · Score: 1

    They were depending on Anonymous to keep the servers patched, hence the blame. "Expect Us" was logicaly taken to mean "Expect us between 2 to 5 on Friday to apply the service packs".

  18. Gambling in Casablanca on Prison Guard Dog Gets Titanium Teeth · · Score: 1

    "What? the prisoners are intimidated by a dog with titanium teeth? Why, we had no idea of this unintended consequence! Shocked, shocked, I say!!"

  19. Just another excuse on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 1

    to make privacy and anonymity a federal crime. Going on-line? "Papers, please".

  20. Optigrab 2.0 on Face-Mounted Nose Stylus Created For Phones · · Score: 1

    Que the lawsuits!

  21. Seriously on 'Motherlode' of Data Seized At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 1

    what else did you expect them to say while crowing and patting themselves on the back?

  22. Location on Sony Online Entertainment Services Follow PSN Down · · Score: 1

    Anyone else recall reading something about Sony moving the servers to a different physical location as part of the cleanup? Sounded like part of an inside job with not much to do with leet crackers.

  23. Chris Rock on White iPhone 4 Coming Today · · Score: 1

    "Oh, why's it gotta be White?"

  24. Re:Both? on Ubuntu 11.04, Slackware 13.37 · · Score: 1

    Doesn't both news deserve a separate note?

    Gaahh! Ever more forking!

  25. Doug Stanhope on EFF Advocates Leaving Wireless Routers Open · · Score: 1

    has an insightful bit about pederasty and CP, that for obvious reasons can't be repeated here.
