  1. Re:Bing demoting Firefox? on Google Punishing Chrome Results For 60 Days · · Score: 1

    Searching bing for "web browser" and the first listing is Opera then Safari.

  2. Re:Such an option is going to cause panic... on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 1

    Macgrrl, Excuse me, I haven't had grammar class in nearly 15 years. However, if the idiom results in 58.8 million google hits maybe it should be correct.

  3. Re:No need ... on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 1

    And legislature now in the works for the "anti-panic button". Instead of blacking out sites to prevent communications/protests, forces the sites up to prevent panic.

  4. Re:Such an option is going to cause panic... on Net Companies Consider the "Nuclear Option" To Combat SOPA · · Score: 1

    I could care less if I'm unable to buy something off amazon, and I never created a facebook account, but a gmail blackout could cause communication issues beyond the "under-18 doomsday". Assuming a google protest page would cover all services.

  5. Re:Would you pay a $1 for shit? on Why We Agonize Over Buying $1 Apps · · Score: 2

    If the app offered the same satisfaction as the latte the decision wouldn't be agonizing.

  7. Re:Not surprised... on Apple Fined By Italy For Misleading Customers About Warranty Terms · · Score: 1

    I've worked at numerous places that used dell onsite service, it is more convenient than having to drive some where for service.

    Who is going to answer your questions on /.? and 2th?

  9. Re:Too Late. You've shown us your heart. on Go Daddy Reverses Course On SOPA · · Score: 1

    I think a difference in this situation versus other similar "vote with your dollars" situations is that enough ppl actually carried through with voting with their dollars. As pointed out by other posters, much of the time the only ppl in the know are "geeks/nerds" and in this situation happened to be in command of the voting dollars.

  10. Re:iPad vs. all Android tablets on Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the Android Tablet · · Score: 1

    Even if the Novo 7 was the absolute best tablet for $120, I'd still have a hard time buying something from a brand named Ainol.

  11. Re:Maybe, maybe not... on Is Overclocking Over? · · Score: 1

    ..and then there was Crysis 2, and Crysis 2 with the large texture pack.

  12. Re:Google's main problem on Senators Recommend FTC Perform Antitrust Investigation Of Google · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought, Google came up short on donations.

  13. Re:Palm Treo is calling from 2002... on Apple Patents Using Apps During Calls · · Score: 1

  17. Furure Battle Tech... on The Future of Battle Tech · · Score: 1

    easily defeated by Iranians spoofing GPS signals.

  18. Re:Young women don't need makeup.... on US Watchdog Bans Photoshop Use In Cosmetics Ads · · Score: 1

    Not too long ago I saw a young female at the mall with enough makeup to cause her eyes to droop. Years ago my GF wore some black makeup around her eyes, at the time I kinda liked it. Now she asks me how her makeup looks, I say what makeup? and she says, good. I'm fairly certain that she is wearing makeup, but apparently it matches, blends well.

  19. Re:Probably not what it seems on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    How about only women driving volvo wagons.

  20. Re:Probably not what it seems on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    At that time I was going exactly the speed limit, had I been going faster I'm fairly certain I'd not be typing this.

  21. Re:Probably not what it seems on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    A woman in a volvo wagon nearly killed me while on my motorcycle and she was not on a cell phone, eating or doing makeup, while she was performing a U-turn just beyond a bend in the road.

    Maybe Windows has been long enough that it is cool again?

    Apparenlty I wouldn't know any more...

  24. Re:Now these guys have some balls on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 2

    Maybe he is making an attempt at relations. I highly doubt if Iran does not hand it over that the Gov/Military will allow them to continue to have it. What is more interesting is whether the drone actually malfunctioned on its own or the Iranians were able to cause the malfunction.
