  1. Useless on Review of Ergonomic Evoluent VerticalMouse 3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have never experienced any pain or stress, even if I sit at my computer for extended ("unhealthy") periods. Why would you pay an extra buck to get a sketchy guarantee for a healthier wrist? The health effect on your wrist from a regular mouse is probably very minute.

    Your habit must be addicting.

    Just because you're computer illiterate doesn't mean you should hate innocent cookies. The word sounds cute, and cookies are cute.

    It's more than just images..

  9. How are the speeds? on Pirate Bay Launches Uncensored Image Hosting · · Score: 1

    This might very well replace RapidShare for me. I get about full speed (10mbit/s) on RapidShare because TeliaSonera (my ISP) provides two download servers for RapidShare, but the nasty download limit usually spoils the fun. Sounds promising.

  10. Re:This sort of behavior used to be a punchline... on Microsoft Shells Out $50 Million For GTA IV Content · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but us hardcore fans can't wait for a PC version that's gonna come a year later, you insensitive clod! ):

  11. Microsoft Wireless MultiMedia Keyboard on Are Keyboards Dishwasher Safe? · · Score: 1

    This keyboard I have doesn't suck: its batteries last well over a year, and I use it a lot. Not only that, but you can remove the frame with the keys where all the dirt gets stuck and wash it any way you want, then dry it and screw back onto the separate plate with all the electronics.

  12. Re:I've been wondering on AT&T Quietly Introduces $10/Month DSL · · Score: 1

    There's urban sprawl in Finland, the greater Helsinki area has a density of 415/sqkm. The Finnish Wikipedia article mentions that Atlanta is considered a very sparse city in the category of over 1 million inhabitants, at about 1000/sqkm, yet the Helsinki area beats it. And speaking of rural populations, Finland is higher than Europe's average in that area, too. But if you want to say that you have a larger area in general (requiring more wiring), which you inarguably do, then I can understand it. I don't think population density is relevant. If that was the case, then Finland would still be more sparse.

  13. I've been wondering on AT&T Quietly Introduces $10/Month DSL · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You can get 100/10mbit/s here (in Finland) for about $40/m.

    100+10 = 110 - Total bandwidth.
    0.128 + 0.768 = 0.896 - Total bandwidth.
    110mbit/$40 = 2.75mbit/$ - How much penis a buck buys you.
    0.896/$10 = 0.0896mbit/$ - How much penis a buck buys you.
    2.75-0.0896 = 2.6604 - Calculating the difference.
    2.6604/2.75 = 96.7418182% - The difference (per cent).

    The ultimate conclusion: Newsworthy DSL deals in the US tend to suck nearly twice as much as the better deals in some random country (Sweden has even BETTER deals).

    I didn't even consider all the silly bandwidth limitations or the actual price ($35) as some users pointed out, which would make it suck thrice as much. I'd expect more of a country that created this wonderful thing called Internet. What's the reason behind this? Sorry if this post offended anyone ): 3.

  14. Re:Freedom to choose on Blockbuster Chooses Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I think downloading warez HD movies might actually cost more than buying them legally, not to mention the fact that my ISP might cancel my account due to downloading 50GB/week. Only in America!
  15. "Manual" labor on The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer · · Score: 1

    Why do you need people sitting around at in a ball-sweating cubicle, busting balls or getting their balls busted, when you can just use BOTS to harvest gold? Is there some kind of a barrier that stops you from using trainers or bots to farm gold? Plus, you don't have to hire people for work. This whole thing is really surreal, I mean, that guy probably barely gets his bread at a whopping $600 monthly salary by playing some GAMES!?!! If that's how you feed yourself, then fuck WoW. I mean, that game was meant for some you to relax on weekends and playing with friends, not to earn all of your living with it!

  24. I read a similar article quite recently on Boys with Longer Ring Fingers are Better at Math · · Score: 1

    On my left hand, my ring finger is clearly longer, whereas on the right hand it's of approximately equal length. According to a very similar (if not the same) article I read a while ago, the ratio's correlation with verbal skill applies to both genders. Does this mean that I'm awesome at both? I study math that I'm not even supposed to study, and my skills in languages are at a level where teachers usually tell me how much of a "language specialist" I am in our class.

    There's apparently a lot more to digit ratio than one might imagine. It's kinda creepy.
