  1. Post-processing on Scottish Scientists Create World's Smallest Smart Antenna · · Score: 1

    I assume the last step involves deep-fat frying.

  2. Fork on Advertisers Blast Microsoft Over IE Default Privacy Settings · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If Fielding persists, Apache is in serious trouble in Europe for sure, it would basically become an impossible to use piece of junk. I find it sad that Fielding's ego is of such a size that he can not admit he was wrong, but would rather drag Apache's name through the mud than admit as much.

    I sense a fork coming, and rightly so.

  3. Should have seen this coming; judging by the name, I'm pretty sure he's a Star Trek villan.

  4. Same type of folks that show up at schools in a flashy D.A.R.E.* car - and afterwards, drive it to the nearest titty bar. Do as I bloviate, not how I personally act.



    * - D.A.R.E. stands for Drug and Alchohol Resistance Education, a US program known to accomplish jack shit other than the purchase of Camaros and Corvettes for cops.

  5. Larry Niven on Apple Acknowledges iPhone 5 Camera Flaw · · Score: 1

    One of his works was titled: "The Magic Goes Away".

    I don't think there will be a happy sequel for a Jobs-less Apple.

  6. Windows 8 on Intel CPU Prices Stagnate As AMD Sales Decline · · Score: 1

    And Windows 8 won't lift either of their boats. Do you personally know anyone looking forward to Win 8?.

    "Waiter, three Dead Cat Bounces, please."

  7. Re:Plant on Apple iPad Mini Could Complicate Things For Windows 8 Tablets · · Score: 1

    This is what sickens me about Walt Mossberg; an unapologetic Apple whore that just *happens* to work for the Wall Street Journal.

  8. Nothing new on Apple iPad Mini Could Complicate Things For Windows 8 Tablets · · Score: 1

    Jobs always talked out of both sides of his face. Him saying 'never will' meant 'absolutely will'.

    The only consistent thing that Jobs did was treat people like dirt. Karma took care of that.

  9. Silly on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

    Such as the Klan, la Cosa Nostra, Crips, Bloods, MS-13, like-minded folk who decide they don't other like-minded folk... Perfect: a clause that makes everything else effing meaningless.

  10. Guns don't kill people on You Can't Print a Gun If You Have No 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    Plastics do.

  11. Re:Paging Lawrence Fishburn on $1 Billion Mission To Reach the Earth's Mantle · · Score: 1

    Because one would have to admit having seen The Core?

    I'll only admit to having seen the SNL skit about it. Ride 'em Cowboy!

  12. Yup on The Most Important Meeting You've Never Heard of · · Score: 2

    Dubai is an example of the glorious harmony between (middle) east and west!

    Kinda like Cleveland.

  13. Point 4 on Statistical Tools For Detecting Electoral Fraud · · Score: 1

    4. More and more voting stations are located in suburban areas or on the edge of town to make sure only the well-off can easily get there and to cut down on the riff-raff (the poor, the elderly, the minorites working long slave-wage hours, etc.).

    Coda: In Kansas, they decided in an election year - pure coincidence, I'm sure - to finally revamp the computer system for drivers licenses (and state IDs which aren't free) after years and years of delay. My first license renewal was 'lost in the mail' and only recently just received the replacement. I fully expect there will be tens of thousands - maybe even me - that will turned away from the polls because some minor thing is wrong with the new license or ID. The main thing being wrong will be skin color or party affiliation. And as usual in US politics, jack shit will be done about it.

  14. Nothing will happen on Statistical Tools For Detecting Electoral Fraud · · Score: 0

    Even if fraud was proved, nothing would happen. The GOP-controlled Senate committee tasked with investigating the lies that justified the Iraq War moved to table it until after the election so as to not make it a political football. After the election, miserable excuse for a human Senator Pat Roberts announced they would not be investigating as the past is the past and why bother. And so it goes.

    If the election fraud campaign is successful, you really think the victors are going to investigate how they themselves stole the election? Polly Anna

  15. aka on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 1

    Also known as The Slowest ISPs in the World.

  16. Closing days on White House Confirms Chinese Cyberattack · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Chinese or the GOP? Down the strech, shenanigans like this are very possible from a trailing party. Crooked voting machines? Check. Must be this white to vote? Check. Cyberattacks? WHY THE HELL NOT.

  17. Proverb on White House Confirms Chinese Cyberattack · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The web page is slow, but the phish is patient.

  18. Amused to Death on New York Plans World's Largest Ferris Wheel · · Score: 1, Funny

    "Bread and circuses will also be provided to further help destract from the decline and fall."

  19. Dammit on US Agricultural Economists Say Bacon Shortage Is Hogwash · · Score: 1

    I shouldn't have gone long on corn bellys!

  20. Sansa on RockBox + Refurbished MP3 Players = Crowdsourced Audio Capture · · Score: 1

    It's been a while since I checked the list of hardware at Rockbox.org, but IIRC, the newer Sansas are locked down and can't run Rockbox. Plus, they don't seen to age well; after the second Clip that just stopped responding, I switched to an iRiver - though I've never done any recording.

  21. Cheapskate women on Sexism In Science · · Score: 1

    Plus feeling ovulatorily threatened by younger fertiles, no doubt. [sarcasm]

  22. Gyres on NASA Orion Splashdown Safety Tests Completed · · Score: 1

    I hope they also simulated landing in patch of plastic trash too. This is the Pacific we're talking about.

  23. Nearly speechless on ASIC Seeks Power To Read Your Emails · · Score: 2

    That the descendants of a rather cruel attempt of the ultimate prison colony are slowly but surely allowing their own government re-imprison them is mind-boggling. Turns out the most dangerous animal in Austrailia is Ministerus Fascismus

  24. Effing Creepy on What Should Start-Ups Do With the Brilliant Jerk? · · Score: 1

    In other words: "How can I, as a craven and souless businessman, wring the most out of the actual creators without them putting up much fuss or even realize that I'm slipping a knife into their guts?"

  25. Exactly on File-Sharing For Personal Use Declared Legal In Portugal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Also, possession of personal quantities of just about every drug has been decriminalized in Portugal, for about 10 years now. The result has been a decrease in drug use and all associated problems.

    This is a closely-guarded secret held under wraps by the US government, corporate-owned media, Big Pharma, and most especially the sickening for-profit prison corporations. You as a US citizen will NEVER hear about this on the news. Bill Maher should open every show talking about Portugal and compare it US prison statistics.
