  1. Re:The article is FUD on Get Ready For a Streaming Music Die-Off · · Score: 1

    The underlying issue is probably the billions they are paying their own execs.

  2. Re:PR Stunt at best on FSF Responds To Microsoft's Privacy and Encryption Announcement · · Score: 2
  3. Probably not accurate on Over 20% of Online Black Friday Sales Came From Mobile Devices · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Some of my android based tablets and phone are using browsers with a user agent that reports as an ipad, seems to help get an html5 website.

  4. Re:Faithful to Diablo 2 on Game Review: Path of Exile (Video) · · Score: 1

    Diablo 3 not only failed to replicate this excitement, but they took every possible step to ensure that I wouldn't.

    Wow strung a chord with me, that is exactly how I grew to feel about WoW. Maybe the natural evolution of blizzard games? I'm not sure RMAH was ever implemented in wow, but basically "ultimate equipment" was removed when 10man gear = 25man gear.

  5. Re:Missing context on Canonical Developer Warns About Banking With Linux Mint · · Score: 1

    Would that also apply to sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade?

  6. Re:No surprise on Supreme Court Refuses To Hear EPIC Challenge To NSA Surveillance · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sure we will have done away with that pesky constitution before this issue makes it through the proper channels.

  7. Re:Already solved it seems... on Blue Light of Death Plagues PlayStation 4 · · Score: 1

    I had a similar issue with thin clients using displayport. It seems luck is necessary for displayport connections to make contact, if either side is any amount out of spec the connection will not make contact. Seems like there is more forgiveness in the hdmi connection to make contact and the port is quite a ways out of spec?

  8. Re:Stats on Blue Light of Death Plagues PlayStation 4 · · Score: 2

    The fact Sony admits to the issue and has troubleshooting steps is suggestive. Sony could have pulled an Apple and denied the issue all the way down.

  9. Re:A "Cheap ThinkGeek Clone?" on Woman Facing $3,500 Fine For Posting Online Review · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think I come to this site out of long term habit more than anything else.

  10. Re:Let me be the First to Say... on Military Drone Lost Over Lake Ontario · · Score: 1

    How many times does that go into 200+ billion?

  11. Re:Loved It on Thor: The Dark World — What Did You Think? · · Score: 1

    Where is the spoiler alert? Thanks, now you ruined it for me.

  12. Re:How nice of them! on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    They could have tweeted the master key!

  13. Re:Obvious troll is obvious on A Playstation 4 Teardown · · Score: 1

    May of has to blow the dust out, but it didn't require the internet for authentication to open up.

  14. aviationweek.com down on Skunk Works Reveals Proposed SR-71 Successor: the Hypersonic SR-72 · · Score: 1

    Crashed and /.ed.

  15. Re:The X-Men ... on Skunk Works Reveals Proposed SR-71 Successor: the Hypersonic SR-72 · · Score: 1

    Mach 6 on a budget!

  16. Re:No media server support upsets me on Sony Issues Detailed PS4 FAQ Ahead of Launch · · Score: 0

    A CD being 42-44khz I would consider low quality audio source and when encoded to mp3 the loss would be negligible. Now if you were speaking of a source with a 96khz sampling rate I would agree with you.

  17. Re:Why activation for Blu-rays/DVD's? on Sony Issues Detailed PS4 FAQ Ahead of Launch · · Score: 1

    Doesn't Sony own that licensing?

  18. Re:No media server support upsets me on Sony Issues Detailed PS4 FAQ Ahead of Launch · · Score: 1

    I find it interesting they are sustaining the physical disk format as it seems to lend its self to being ripped, while a purely digital format could possibly have "better" drm?

  19. Re:The answer is SIMPLE on Why Can't Big Government Launch a Website? · · Score: 1

    Wow that was insightful! Thank god that's solved, now we can call it a day.

  20. Re:Who's surprised? on NSA Monitored Calls of 35 World Leaders · · Score: 1, Funny

    Also, we know Al Gore invented the internet and we all know ownership is nine-tenths of the law..

  21. Re:Please on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 1

    So does anybody wear a helmet on their peddle-bike then turn around and ride a motorcycle without a helmet? I'm curious.

  22. Really on Blackberry BBM App and Suspicious Google Play Ratings · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In this situation stuffing the ballot box probably won't matter.

  23. Re:Didn't they learn from Microsoft? on Firefox's Blocked-By-Default Java Isn't Going Down Well · · Score: 1

    I agree for the necessities that you listed I deal with all of those. However, I believe firefox is also used for casual browsing and I don't think java or flash are going away any time soon.

  24. 640k on Why Does Windows Have Terrible Battery Life? · · Score: 0, Troll

    6.8 hours is enough battery life for anyone.

  25. Re:Probably a downmod coming but.. on Experian Sold Social Security Numbers To ID Theft Service · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So are all SSNs compromised?
