  1. Re:That's how science works on MN Supreme Court Backs Reasoned Requests For Breathalyzer Source Code · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd go a step further, and refuse any breathalyser that doesn't run linux.

  2. Loss leader on Canadian Pirates Sell Spurious Songs — In 1897 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hate the way they sell those Gutenberg presses as a loss leader, then gouge you on printing plates and ink refills.

  3. Re:Skeptical on LoTR Fan Film — The Hunt For Gollum · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just to let you know, I read your post in comic book guy's voice.

  4. Don't worry on Forensics Tool Finds Headerless Encrypted Files · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The company has "innovations" in it's name, so their product probably won't work.
    If it did work against true crypt, which is a yard stick of well implemented encryption, I'm sure they'll come up with a counter measure by the next minor release.

    Also: In before XKCD strip.

  5. Re:My experience... on Bluetooth Versus Wireless Mice · · Score: 1

    Totally opposite experience here.

    Logitech mouse eats AA batteries in weeks, and the dongle sticks out 5cm.
    Microsoft bluetooth mouse is still going on its first pair of AAA batteries after months.

    Both solutions worked without lag or anything in windows XP and Ubuntu.

  6. Re:Head Wrapper on Styling Web Pages With CSS · · Score: 2, Informative

    I love a good IE or MS bash as much as the next person, but IE8 CSS support is vastly improved, bordering on satisfactory.

    They even added a handy "make page look like shit" button for IE users who get nostalgic.

  7. Re:Google started the ball rolling... on A Look At the Wolfram Alpha "Search Engine" · · Score: 1

    i.e. not based on general popularity but content accuracy

    But what about the uniquely democratic nature of the web?
    ...hold a sec, I've got a call coming though from 2004.

  8. Re:Scary on Cybersquatting and Social Media · · Score: 1

    It will pass, just like geocities.

    Don't suppose we could get an estimated date on that one?

  9. Re:Stop communicating on Rep. Jane Harman Focus In Yet Another Warrantless Wiretap Scandal · · Score: 1

    We should boycott all non-encrypted forms of communication.

    And twitter.

  11. Camouflage on Skin-Based Display Screens From Nanotech Tattoos · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Implant this under all exposed skin and a solider could have camouflage patterns turned on/off and changed for the terrain.

  12. Re:Twitter... again? on Ford Bets On Social Media For Fiesta · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Companies bailing from the second life bandwagon have to go somewhere.

  13. Re:First Post! on Microsoft Family Safety Filter Blocks Google · · Score: 4, Funny

    We could always use Ask Jeeves

  14. Nothing wrong with cobbled together on F5 Fires Back On Open Source SSL Accelerator · · Score: 0, Troll

    Obviously any company selling "integrated solutions" will say otherwise.

    Where is the total non-story tag?

  15. Last video 9:40 on A Look At the Final Fantasy XIII Demo, Early Analysis · · Score: 3, Funny

    Camera focuses on "man cleavage"

    W T F!

  16. Re:The pluses and the minuses from two weeks' usag on Ubuntu 9.04 RC Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's not what it said.

    ...is expected that a fix for this problem will be made available as a post-release update

    Even the final release will be affected by this bug.

  17. Re:Umm on Cinder Mobile OS Lets Users Send More Power To Slow Apps · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those who don't understand the TURBO BUTTON are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.

  18. Re:And all the admins ask... on First Look at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've never used Microsoft Exchange Server in my life. Mostly because I'm more from a hippy FOSS type company.

    Having read the Microsoft marketing crap, then the wikipedia article for a more neutral POV, I don't get it.
    What is special about "electronic mail, calendaring, contacts and tasks; support for mobile and web-based access to information; and support for data storage."

    I often hear exchange server quoted as THE reason why some companies can't diversify their software from Microsoft, but that lot doesn't sound too compelling to me.

  19. Re:Wow on Subverting PIN Encryption For Bank Cards · · Score: 4, Insightful

    SSL was released in 1996

    Banks prefer a conservative approach, using tried and tested 18th century steam punk hardware.

    You have used the verb "tweeted".
    Ninjas have been dispatched to your location, to make sure you don't do it again.

  23. No such thing as unlimited on Time Warner To Offer Unlimited Bandwidth For $150 · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have to draw a line somewhere, and put a price under it.

    Yeah sorry, half asleep and I parsed net revenue as net profit.
