  1. Re:err, 'reported feeling' on Bejeweled Yields Cognitive Benefit In Older Adults · · Score: 4, Funny

    95% of those surveyed, felt that playing Bejeweled left their hair smoother, shinier, and easier to manage.

  2. WAT! on UK Government Wants Google To Police Copyright · · Score: 1

    Google already does this. There are country specific warning messages, which appear at the bottom of the page when search results were ommited.

    So nice sentiment, but you're too late.

  4. Re:Youtube comments on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I can't remember geocities being that bad.

  5. Youtube comments on YouTube Disables Comments and User Uploads For Korean Users · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm all for disabling these globally. No good has come of allowing people to comment, or vote on videos.

  6. BAU on World Population Expected To Hit 7 Billion In Late October · · Score: 1

    Business as usual then.

  7. Extended validation certificates on Rogue SSL Certs Issued For CIA, MI6, Mossad · · Score: 2

    Extended validation certificates were definitely a step in the right direction, with a pretty green favicon background.
    But that wasn't enough. So we went to Ultra-yotta-analprobed-extented-validated-certificates with a plaid favicon background, thus fixing the problem forever.

  8. Face palm on .UK Registrar Offers To Let Police Close Domain · · Score: 2

    Every time someone writes on of these condescending "Hello people of ...", I can't help but roll my eyes.

    The internet is truly global, and you need to keep in mind all the time. Authorities all over the world are diligently chipping away at digital rights, and it's everyone’s problem.

  9. Pokemon on Is the Quick Death of Failed Tech Products a Good Thing? · · Score: 2

    As someone from the pokemon generation, I actually do expect to catch 'em all.

  10. Re:Love excercise on The Least Amount of Exercise Needed To Extend Life · · Score: 1

    Nor do you unduly wear out your body if you exercise correctly.

    Being mechanical, the car analogy is useless.
    Consider instead a shark, which must keep moving continuously all it's life, simply to breath.

  11. Re:Love excercise on The Least Amount of Exercise Needed To Extend Life · · Score: 1

    Hehe, though seriously, going from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one involves a certain pain barrier.
    Perhaps as long as 2-3 weeks where you get all pain and no benefit. It's plain sailing, and all benefits after that.

    OT: Troll mod? Not sure if the allocation algorithm changed, but the general quality of /. moderation is in the toilet these days. Make me want to not post.

  12. Love excercise on The Least Amount of Exercise Needed To Extend Life · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good job I love exercise, so I don't have to go around calculating the bare minimum.

  13. Wonders of the stoner system on Sequencing the Weed Genome · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Happy Birthday! on A Decade of Haiku OS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Copyright violation detected. Scrambling all lawyers.

  15. Re:"push OS code to systems at boot time" on Windows 8 To Fight Piracy With the Cloud · · Score: 1

    ... the mouse deprecated the keyboard?

  16. Re:"push OS code to systems at boot time" on Windows 8 To Fight Piracy With the Cloud · · Score: 2

    Tethering the OS to external dependencies like this, make it worth less (or maybe even worthless) as an OS to me, regardless of the reason for doing it.
    And yes, linux distros are generally dependent on repositories, but you get to pick which mirror, including your own internal one.

    The cloud and app store marking is hilarious. Inherently inferior mobile/touch inspired interfaces are not going to topple the desktop, because many people have real work to do.

  17. Re:Sorry but you're too late on Firefox 7.0 Beta Released · · Score: 3

    Ah sorry, that joke reached EOL when firefox 5 was released.

  18. Re:Really? What's the point of this version number on Firefox 7.0 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Or even better, a rolling release.

  19. Inb4 autism on Firefox 7.0 Beta Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    In before autistic people throw a hissy fit as if their toy blocks got messed out of the correct order.

    (But yes, the numbering system does seem to have lost its meaning)

  20. Re:Antivirus "protection" racket on Google Highlights Trouble In Detecting Malware · · Score: 1

    I support the Antivirus industry, and anything else which causes insane demand for RAM/CPUs in normal users.
    Then I can keep my machines at the price sweet spot, and still have awesome specs.

  21. Re:Morality Watchdogs? on Wikipedia May Censor Images · · Score: 1

    It's your responsibility to avoid what you don't want to see.
    The other way round makes no sense because they world is full of pussies, each with unique sets of "crap they don't want to see".
    The sum of all those sets is EVERYTHING that exists.

    Of course, what gets censored is decided on your behalf by some corrupt authority or other, which is why censorship is always evil.

    This is bullshit. I'll configure everything back to how it was in GNOME 2.

    Brilliant! Best Hitler reaction video yet.

  24. Re:KDE on Interview With GNOME 3 Designer Jon McCann · · Score: 4, Informative

    Had to check TFA to see if he was on about apps as in applications, or apps as that mobile marketing bullshit dejour.

    It was the latter.
