  1. Re:"It's Apple's device" on Will Adobe Sue Apple Over Flash? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has a monopoly, Apple doesn't

    So I see the iPhone now has a Denial app.

  2. I assume on Apple Approves Opera Mini For iPhone · · Score: 1

    the Apple approval also cc'd the Anti-Trust division of the Justice Department, as that is the only reason Apple allowed this.

  3. Ironically on Red-Light Camera Ticket Revenue and Short Yellows · · Score: 1

    Because a private company is not law enforcement. There is no reason you should pay a corporation or private party for a perceived criminal, civil or traffic law infraction without it going through a government entity. To do otherwise is to invite fascism.

    You just succinctly described ACTA.

  4. Re:Craves Metal on 5-Axis Robot Carves Metal Like Butter · · Score: 1

    Inventor/MasterCam, not AutoCAD

  5. caveat on NASA Unveils Sweeping New Programs For Next 5 Years · · Score: 1

    But on the balance, the bank bailout wasn't too bad...

    Except for the depressing lack of summary CEO executions.

  6. Home Depot on MIT Making Super Efficient Origami Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    Where's the efficient, cheap PRODUCT that will directly enable ME to put panels on my roof?

    Aisle five; in between the reels of room-temperature superconductor and the home fusion plants.

  7. Posterboy on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    Ladies and Gentelman: the latest posterboy to gloriously represent everything that is wrong with Corporate America.

  8. Re:Oh good! on GNOME 2.30, End of the (2.x) Line · · Score: 1

    So say we all.

  9. Think outside the box on GNOME 2.30, End of the (2.x) Line · · Score: 1

    Move the Minimize button to the upper left, the maximize button to the lower right, the close button the lower left and for the upper right: a button that does nothing.

  10. Ringworld on Wake Forest Researchers Swap Skin Grafts For Cell Spraying · · Score: 1

    I want my bouncy Kzin.

  11. Re:I'll follow them here too. :D on Microsoft's CoApp To Help OSS Development, Deployment · · Score: 2, Funny

    What is Microsoft paying for human souls these days?

  12. Re:Yeah. on Rupert Murdoch Hates Google, Loves the iPad · · Score: 1

    It weighs 1.5 pounds. Enjoy your Popeye arms.

  13. Tut-tut! on Wall St. Trading Servers To Power Off-Hour Clouds? · · Score: 1

    These Wall Street chaps know what they're doing! Their immaculate track record speaks for itself!

  14. Re:Clarke's Been Playing This Violin for Years on US Most Vulnerable To Cyberattack? · · Score: 1

    And I assume he's pulling down serious consultant coin from clueless PHBs in both the public and private sector. In a way, he is just another lobbyist trading on his former public service - and he probably only 'served the public' merely to get to these golden tickets.

  15. fixed on Net Neutrality Suffers Major Setback · · Score: 1

    We do NOT want government by executive order anymore.

  16. Foxes writing the reviews on iPad Review · · Score: 1

    CNN had Dan Lyons on this weekend and a very scary point was made: the massive media hype is because Old Media is desperate for the iPad to be the rising tide that lifts their yachts up again. Of course, His Steveness knew these troglodytes would instantly become his biggest shameless cheerleaders.

    I'm willing to bet that most J-schoolers don't even know what The Fourth Estate is, let along why it is important. Instead, most of them spent this weekend standing in line outside of their own Crystal Cathedrals.

  17. The other side of the connection on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    I looked at my small town bank's online offering, and the amateurish site looks like it was probably done by the bank manager's brother-in-law over a weekend between six-packs, using the finest swiss-cheese Microsoft has to offer. I'll be sticking with dead trees for now.

    I love tech, but committing to all-electronic financial transactions with no actual paper just feels like it could go very, very wrong.

  18. Re:Just the number of residents? on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    ...how may slaves you owned), but it's a far different situation now.

    ...like how many corporations own me?

  19. Re:You know what's really sad? on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    The sad, sobering fact as to why the Feds didn't do it earlier is only this: transactional costs. Not 'is it right' or 'is it wrong', but only how many beans they had to count out.

  20. Barn Door Locking on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure AT&T already gave all our information over to the Feds already.

  21. Hey Miguel on De Icaza Says Microsoft Has Shot .NET Ecosystem In Foot · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you really are finally on the road to Damascus, be sure to snap some pics.

  22. Re:Well, what did they expect? on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 1

    Then we will respond quickly with our high-tech assests, which are capable of pinpoint targeting accuracy provided by all-weather, satellite-based GP...

    ...oops.

    If one more person brings up anarchy, I'm gonna bring down society.

  25. Doubting Thomas on A Broadband Survey That Asks the Right Questions · · Score: 1

    I ran the FFC speed test, but I would love some assurance that ISPs aren't gaming the results by giving every up/down connection to these speed test suites (especially the FFC one) top drawer, white-glove priorty to achieve 99.99% of your plan's max speed.
