    "Teakettle, Tango, Barbeque"

    \The Young Ones

  2. Standard Oil 2.0 on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 1

    and the US government does nothing as Apple is one of the few remaining US-based consumer tech companies (though I suspect Steve has made plenty of threats to move house in order to get his way).

  3. The Devil on Microsoft's New Plan For Keeping the Internet Safe · · Score: 1

    knows the bible better than most.
    Seems fitting for this story.

  4. Wow on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 2

    Adobe...predicts 600% growth in the number of smartphones having the Flash 10.1 Player installed in 2011, reaching 132 million smartphones...

    That's a shitload of screendoors.

  5. tl;dr on Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    Executive Summary: sooner or later, all religions kill.

  6. Yeah on FBI Releases File On the Anarchist Cookbook · · Score: 1

    I loved that Star Trek episode too.

  7. Unless on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    Watson's voice is indentical to that of HAL 9000, I'm not interested. It would be hilarious if 2001 was a topic, though.

  8. Then Robert Gates on Science Programs Hit Hard By Proposed Budget · · Score: 1

    needs to lead that fight. That is the only way cuts would actually happen.

  9. Meanwhile, in Meatspace on The Dirty Little Secrets of Search · · Score: 1

    I get large color circulars on stiff card stock from Penneys in the mail every other week, each proclaiming 20-40% off sales. Their bulk mail budget must be staggering.

  10. Favorite Headline on Why Nokia Is Toast · · Score: 1

    From Apple Outsider, I'm told:.
    "Microsoft buys Nokia for Zero Billion Dollars"

  11. Riiiight on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the current House of Reps will get right on that - after they ensure every poor person in the US is killed by policy and budget.

  12. Re:Normally on Amazon Pulling Out of Texas Over $269 Million Tax Bill · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So if the poor person buys a pair of shoes and pays $3 sales tax on them, the same pair of shoes should rack up $300 for the rich person? In what world does that seem fair to you?

    A world I can only hope for.

    That's massively penalizing success and encouraging failure. how is anybody supposed to succeed if success is penalized?

    Oh, yes; let us rend our clothes and beat our breasts, mourning for the now-extinct American Multi-Millionaire.

  13. Re:Since when? on Why Debian Matters More Than Ever · · Score: 1

    News to me. Who's calling it irrelevant?

    Steve Ballmer, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison... you know; honest guys with no agendas or profit motivation.

  14. Re:lol on Chinese Hackers Strike Energy Companies · · Score: 1

    It's like Snooki uncovering a major terrorist plot.

    I'd say it's more akin to her finding class, grace, and subtlety.

  15. Here comes the return of massively Red State subsidized looser Ethanol, the production of which will lead to something called Peak Water.

  16. And then on Secret Plan To Kill Wikileaks With FUD Leaked · · Score: 1

    you sign over all your genomic rights to the company.

  19. Yes and on Drivers Blamed For Out of Control Toyotas - Again · · Score: 1

    the original case of the experienced police officer that could not kill the engine nor shift the transmission into neutral. Pointing this out always annoys the self-appointed gear-heads who think every other driver is an idiot. BTW: push buttons for the transmission and starter = truly stupid design choices.

  20. They'll just switch on 1Gbps Wi-Fi Coming Soon To a Billion Devices · · Score: 1

    to EMP bombs instead. Good luck with that warranty claim.

  21. Sony also demanded on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack · · Score: 1

  22. No mean feat on NASA Releases First 3D Images of the Sun · · Score: 1

    doing this while still covering up the exsitence of Antichthon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-Earth. Mad Photoshop skills.

  23. Because on Wikileaks' Assange Begins Extradition Battle · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I want to know why Obama hasn't closed the damn place yet.

    Because he's just George W. Bush with better speech-giving skills.

  24. Chicken Little Thinking on If You Think You Can Ignore IPv6, Think Again · · Score: 1

    Could ISPs (in league with governments and the MAFIAA) use this 'insurmountable technical problem' as an excuse to deeply inspect, record, and route every single packet, turning the average user's internet access into Mother May I?

  25. Re: UID dick-waving on Anonymous Isn't Anonymous Anymore · · Score: 1

    Hand-carved from meteorites by the Elders...
