  1. Re:Uh oh on New Apple MacBook Pro Reviewed · · Score: -1

    I say things like this and get modded "troll" around here. Funny... haha, fucking Apple fanboys. Sorry that your Gods at Apple, Inc. aren't everything you like to delude yourselves into thinking they are.

  2. Awesome! on Quad Core, Thunderbolt In New MacBook Pros · · Score: -1, Troll

    It will be nice to see them sell older (new for them, I guess) tech for insanely high prices as usual! I mean... the i7 has been around for, what? Four years or so now? Apple will undoubtedly sell them at the RELEASE prices, even though they are buying them for pennies on the dollar about now. GO GO TEAM APPLE!

    Yes, I am aware that Apple fanboys will jump all over this and mod it down to hell, but I don't care if the truth hurts you. I mean, hahaha... $2,500 for four year old processors and nothing else new. Even still only running dual-channel for memory. Lame.

  3. Was it named "Duke Nukem Forever"... on Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...because they planned on taking forever to NOT release it?

  4. This is complete BS... on Consumer Reports Gives AT&T Lowest US Carrier Rank · · Score: 2

    I am posting this reply from my iPhone 4 on AT&T and I have never had a dr

  5. Chrome is okay, but... on Google Rolls Out Chrome 7 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Chrome is okay, but I hate the minimal control you have over things like cookies. It's either all or none with Chrome. Then you have the lack of a sidebar for bookmarks and the bookmark interface itself is very unintuitive at best. There are other gripes as well, but those can mostly be solved with using various extensions.

    Other than that, I like Chrome for its speed.

  6. Southpaws getting left behind. on Left-Handed Gamers Getting Left Behind? · · Score: 1

    And rightfully so!

  7. What I would do. on Fun To Be Had With a 10-Foot Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    Find an 80 foot dog and play Frisbee fetch!

  8. Imagine the looks... on Canadian Cannabis Car · · Score: 1

    Imagine the looks on the faces of all those people who lock themselves into a car with a hose coming from the tail pipe when they suddenly feel like everything is fine!

  9. Re:squid pro quo on Ikatako Virus Replaces Victims' Files With Pictures of Squid · · Score: 1

    That was a bit of a stretch.

  10. Re:Spoiler alert on Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011 · · Score: 1

    You and a lot of other people. Not me though...

  11. Why? on Lucas Promises Star Wars on Blu-Ray in 2011 · · Score: 1

    Why? So he can change scenes and add shit that wasn't there in order to justify the later movies?

    Just happen I have the original trilogy on VHS, untouched by Lucas' stupid "well, I really wanted it to play out this way" hands.

  12. Re:Yeah, but where does this get ME? on Abandon Earth Or Die, Warns Hawking · · Score: 1

    You are obviously not a Comcast customer. I have basic service with internet (no phone, no pay channels) access. In the last 3 years I have lost about a dozen channels I used to have access to and my bill has gone UP. I am now paying for the cheapest "digital" plan and cheapest internet and that is a $168/month bill for me. I am sure if you toss in pay channels and higher internet speeds you could get even higher.

  13. Wow... on Copyright Troll USCG Violates Copyright · · Score: 1

    At first I was wondering why the hell the USCG would be copyright trolling. Then I saw it wasn't the US Coast Guard.

  14. Re:US abuse on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    Is it fun living all alone in Ignorance Land? I want to know as I am considering a few places to retire to and I would love to look into it if you can recommend it for me.

  15. Re:Not NASA on Earth As an Extrasolar Planet · · Score: 1

    Astrophysicist Alfred Vidal-Madjar and colleagues at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris decided to test the idea...

    Granted, NASA does have the firepower and crack soldiering skills necessary to invade and occupy Paris, but they haven't done it. (yet)

    I am happy to know that NASA has soldiering skills. That means we will be able to fend off any alien invasion for sure!

  16. Re:The fact is, US is just as bad as China on US Gov't Orders 73,000 Private Websites Offline · · Score: 1

    I guess that whole "Due to the fact that the authorities aren't sharing information and BurstNet are sworn to secrecy..." part is considered talking about it now, eh?

    There is AdBlock for Chrome as well. Seems to work fine on this end.

  21. I install the only one worth installing on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Avira AntiVir - http://www.free-av.com/ --- free version. It scores high on all independent tests and isn't crazy about hogging your resources or slowing your machine to a crawl.

  22. Well now. on Ars Technica Inveighs Against Ad Blocking · · Score: 1

    When sites go through the extra trouble to make sure that ads are not intrusive and that they do not contain rootkits, trojans or other nasty stuff, I will stop blocking ads. Until then, I don't feel bad AT ALL.

    So the cats can unlock the power of the quantums and stuff?

    Yell at NASA for not doing anything worthwhile and badger them to get things into motion, while simultaneously cutting their budget. Ridiculous government much?
