  1. Re:What? on Federal Judge Says Corps of Engineers Liable For Katrina Damage · · Score: 1

    I could see blaming the French for setting up a fort / trading post in a vulnerable but lucrative location, but blaming fifth or sixth generation native-borns (who weren't exactly rolling in dough) for not moving away seems a bit Darwinian.

  2. The Office on Second Life To Remove Free Content From Web Search · · Score: 1

    "Oh, there are loosers."

  3. Re:Idle? on Bomb-Proof Wallpaper Developed · · Score: 1

    Or even better: Drive-By Alley

  4. Leading to prosecutions for the new felony on Chicago's Camera Network Is Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Living While Black.

  5. Pushing higher visibility for F-Spot on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    is done to help lock-in a Mono requirement for Ubuntu.

    /MonoNoNo FTW

  6. Re:Old Axiom on How Vulnerable Is Our Power Grid? · · Score: 1

    This is why I'm absolutely terrified of a Puppeteer-engineered superconductor virus attack.

  7. Re:One word: Enron on How Vulnerable Is Our Power Grid? · · Score: 1

    All you and your gun nut buddies end up doing is drive up the sale of No Handguns Allowed signs. That and create 'friendly-fire' casualties when you overreact.

  8. Oblig. Futurama on Attack of the PowerPoint-Wielding Professors · · Score: 1

    "Please, Fry I don't know how to use PowerPoint! I'm a professor!"

  9. Re:Consumer? Pah. on Regulator Blocks BBC DRM Plans · · Score: 1

    And how much does the professional-but-not-superstar musician receive from that 99-cent iTunes purchase - ten cents? five? That's the problem with the eeeevil known as the music industry: the real artists literally get chump change while the rest goes to MBA-toting middlemen whose only creativity is stealing money from musicians and threatening single-parent mothers via the RIAA.

  10. Go ahead, Google! on Murdoch To Explore Blocking Google Searches · · Score: 1

    I really wish Google would proactively dump all Fox 'News' content. I gave up on Google News long ago as most of their political stories sport the propagandistic headlines knitted on Fox hate machines. I never could decide if Google is clueless to Fox gaming their system or if Google actually prefers incendiary headlines regardless of how untrue they may be.

  11. Re:'Sexual' reproduction? on Swarm of Giant Jellyfish Capsize 10-Ton Trawler · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, yes. Jellyfish normally asexually reproduce; essentially cloning. They can also sexually reproduce.

    Well, that's just being greedy.

  12. Re:But on Microsoft COFEE Leaked · · Score: 1

    A case cited by Microsoft in April 2008 credits COFEE as being crucial in a New Zealand investigation into the trafficking of child pornography, producing evidence that led to an arrest[2].

    Ah, yes; the stalking horse to justify the destruction of the individuals' right to privacy. And of course, this evidence could never been planted by self-same investigators via their self-same COFEE USB key. Perish the thought.

  13. Re:Music's worth it; labels aren't. on Colleges Secretly Test Music-Industry Project · · Score: 1

    So what's fair market price for 8 to 10 tracks that are nothing more than garbage filler demanded by the record company to 'fill up the CD tank'?

  14. Re:infinite, free music for a one time fee? on Colleges Secretly Test Music-Industry Project · · Score: 1

    Or even better: "Stay in school, kids! OR WE'LL SUE YOUR ASS".

  15. Re:Lecture Fruit! on Low-Energy Laser Etching May Replace Fruit Labels · · Score: 1

    Where I shop, most already are gray.

  16. Re:oh joy on Man-In-the-Middle Vulnerability For SSL and TLS · · Score: 1

    Who knows how many bad guys knew already though?

    If by Bad Guys, you mean Governments; probably damn near all of them, quietly building up a vast, J Edgar Hoover-style database for both blackmail and 'The Usual Suspects' showtrial roundups.

  17. Re:McCroskey on Facebook and MySpace Backdoors Found, Fixed · · Score: 1

    Don't post anything on Facebook.

    Fixed it for you.

  18. Treaties on EU Telecom Deal Finished — No Three Strikes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Don't treaties like ACTA trump national laws? Isn't that really the whole point of the evil that is ACTA?

  19. Perfect! All I have to do is wait another hundred years, then Bang! Progress!

  20. Re:Throttle Position Sensor on Toyotas Suddenly Accelerate; Owners Up In Arms · · Score: 1

    Yes, but do keep a proper sense of perspective! Jeep probably saved millions going with the cheaper TPS!

  21. Re:So Where Exactly is this 'Leaked' Document? on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 1

    I knew it was all a lie when he voted to cover AT&T's law-breaking ass. "same as the old boss"

  22. I've said it before on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 1

    but in a real way, I'm glad I'm not younger, as the next 40 years (if we even have that) are really gonna suck. I really used to enjoy following the progress of high tech in our lives, never realizing it was all being done just to build more effective tools of oppression. Soon, the most unobtainable treasure will be true privacy.

  23. Get ready on Murderer With "Aggression Genes" Gets Reduced Sentence · · Score: 1

    DNA profiling at birth in 3, 2...

  24. Also unindicted co-conspirators on Apple Says Booting OS X Makes an Unauthorized Copy · · Score: 1

    monkeys with typewriters.

  25. Re:LyX on How To Enter Equations Quickly In Class? · · Score: 1

    Plus, for most people today, reading one's own handwriting qualifies towards a minor in Decryption!
