  1. In their defense on US Marshals Saved 35,000 Full Body Scans · · Score: 1

    they just kept images of the hot girls.

  2. Re:This was always my biggest problem with Linux on The ~200 Line Linux Kernel Patch That Does Wonders · · Score: 1

    sit around wondering why Windows takes 93 seconds (literally, not figuratively -- I counted) to open directories with a few thousand files in them

    bad shortcuts to network paths that no longer exist?

  3. Gentoo on The ~200 Line Linux Kernel Patch That Does Wonders · · Score: 1

    Hand-carved from meteorites.

  4. Morality Patrol on Canada To Mandate ISP Deep Packet Inspection · · Score: 1

    Coming soon to a computer you once thought you owned.

  5. great, now on The Beatles On iTunes · · Score: 1

    once and for all: STFU about the Beatles!
    I cannot be the only forty-something effing tired of hearing slavish, obsessive praise of a pop band that broke up forty years ago.

  6. This is abolutely ridiculous. Furthermore, copyright infringement (even if it was real) is a civil matter. Referral to the police station is of very quesitonable legality.

    I see you haven't heard of ACTA yet.

  7. Funny, hell on Did Microsoft Alter Windows Sales Figures? · · Score: 1

    +Infinity Insightful.

  8. Re:he just says Jobs is powerful on Apple the No. 1 Danger To Net Freedom · · Score: 1

    This guy just comes off as paranoid.

    In stark contrast to Steve Jobs, known for his gentle, giving, open-minded nature, overflowing with the milk of human kindness.

  9. I suspect on Hidden Debug Mode Found In AMD Processors · · Score: 1

    it still meets the open sesame requirements of the NSA.

  10. Re:I hope you like your change. on White House Edited Oil Drilling Safety Report · · Score: 2, Funny

    What we need is more people like Ron and Rand Paul in office - fiscally conservative, against a nanny state, and believe that government exists to protect the borders, punish evildoers, and maybe build roads and curbstomp anyone with a different opinion.

  11. Re:Is this legal? on Military Uses 'Bat-Hook' To Tap Power From Lines · · Score: 1

    The upshot being; the most successful thieves have a lot of firepower and lawyers.

  12. It will be on 3D Printing May Face Legal Challenges · · Score: 1

    for the black market parts economy. A 3D printed copy of a complex part to go along with their now near-flawless factory packaging skills? Massive profits - and massive failures.

  13. More a fig leaf on FCC Investigating Google Street View Wi-Fi Data Collection · · Score: 1

    than a real investigation, given the most-favored-fundraiser status of the Google upper echelon wrt Democrats. Don't get me wrong; other than pitching a fit about the party opposite getting more cash, the GOP obviously doesn't give a care about corporations spying on US citizens either.

  14. Yes, but on Did the Windows Phone 7 Bomb In the US? · · Score: 1

    to not have the business side (Exchange, mainly) dead solid perfect at launch is really mind-boggling.

  15. As was on Google Give Searchers 'Instant Previews' of Result Pages · · Score: 1

    First pressing 'Enter' was to much work...

    ...as was typing in the second 'o'.

  16. Unintended Consequence on T-Mobile G2 'Permaroot' Achieved · · Score: 1

    Folks like Scotty2 are doing serious, difficult, rigorous pen testing. For free. Leading only to a new generation of un-hackable handsets. Careful what you wish for.

  17. Hard to feel sorry on Man Loses Millions In Bizarre Virus-Protection Scam · · Score: 1

    for the Dynastically Rich, seeing as the only act required to be rewarded that wealth was taking their first breath. I think Mister Gates has some wise insights on this. Can you imagine how horrible Bill Gates III would be with all of his GPs lucre?

  18. Even Steve Jobs on What's the Oracle Trial Against SAP Really About? · · Score: 1

    would say: "Wow, Larry Ellison is a real a-hole".

  19. What planet are you on? on Dutch ISP Demos Symmetric 100Mbps DOCSIS3 · · Score: 1

    In reality, cable operators are, for the most part, continuing to keep pace.

    Keep pace with who? Another monopoly I am unware of? I'm pretty sure my ISP would deny the existence of DOCSIS 3 if I asked them about it, let alone this strange thing you call symmetry.

  20. never on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    does this mean the *IAA will seek to outlaw monkeys

    And unemploy their own families? Not likely.

  21. A simple plan to implement Net Neutrality on Net Pioneers Say Open Internet Should Be Separate · · Score: 1

    George Soros buys Comcast, turns it private, and pushes Fox News and all other right-wing media to the absolute back of the bandwidth bus. A Network Neutrality bill will be passed and signed into law within the week of purchase.

  22. Don't get your hopes up on Telstra Violating the GPL? · · Score: 1

    Just like Walmart was shocked (shocked!) that their sub-contracted cleaning crews were mostly comprised of illegal aliens (because of the massively low-ball contracts WM offers), Telstra will also wholly blame those they hired.

  23. Hardware matters on Should Being Competitive With Windows Matter For Linux? · · Score: 1

    My non-Apple mp3 player (acquired expressly for fast-forward acceleration for long format podcasts) only pops up in Lucid Lynx about every tenth try - even with Rockbox installed. Who's to blame? Obviously the hardware manufacturer. Why do they not care? Because, compared to Windows, Linux doesn't matter.

  24. ButtonClosuril on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Ask your Doctor"

  25. Correction on US Wants Upper Hand In Battling High-Tech Bad Guys · · Score: 1

    The clever ones have worked out that crime doesn't pay as well as corporate fraud.
