  1. Re:Corporate Haven on Facebook Finds Grass Greener In Ireland · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wait...what!?! St. Patrick means more than a one day celebration to get stinking pissed with all your friends? Damn the misleading parade.

  2. Re:Avoiding US taxes by setting up overseas on Facebook Finds Grass Greener In Ireland · · Score: 4, Informative

    In fairness, the $700 billion may be a cure for the billions that were pissed away before, but it is hard to tell these days.

  3. Re:Captchas that humans can read, perhaps? on Spammers Targeting Microsoft's Revised CAPTCHA · · Score: 1

    However, the thought occurs to me that the site might simply require you to get three successive captchas right to make it harder on bots.

    I would swear that MySpace did this when they first started using captchas for their video comment posts. It would never let me enter a correct captcha on the first try for about a week. I wasn't sure if it was a bug in the system or they were trying a new approach. It doesn't do that anymore, unless of course I do get it wrong.

    Reminds me of the Chris Rock bit about a black person for President securing his life by having a Mexican Vice President...

    Unfortunately it is not Sony's fault. The governing body (CEA) over the video spec has turned down the proposal to 'allow' 1080p over component.

    Well put.

  9. Re:PC Users willing? on Activision To "Monetize" Call of Duty Online Play · · Score: 1

    I am not willing to spend money on map packs. I have a 360 and CoD4 and have not purchased the new maps and don't plan to.

    I am willing to pay for more content like expansion packs, but to pay for weapons and armor like in Battlefield: Bad Company is ridiculous.

  10. Re:Good luck with that on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    Just wait for his yellow fart of contempt. It's a doozy!!

    Is that because it is +12 poison attack?

    Jumped the gun there before checking the history. Sorry.

    I don't think this is a direct shot back at the MAC/PC ads. I do thin that they want to lose the stigma that Vista is a bad product. Simply.

    What the hell was this modded down for!?! Parent was telling the facts. Bill Gates' 'Platinum Member' card used his '70s mug shot as the photo ID in the commercial. It was the one laugh it got from me.

    I agree. Whatever they may say, there most important people are the sponsors, not the viewers.

    One episode in particular was where they were not allowed to say 'sperm'. They had to replace a prefectly fine medical term with 'genetic material'.

    It is a science show for pete's sake!

  15. Re:not really surprising on Locked iPhones Can Be Unlocked Without Password · · Score: 1

    Can I assume whoever modded this a 'troll' owns an Apple product of some sort and took personal insult rather than modding unbiased?

  16. Re:TWC-San Antonio on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    Same here in northern New Hampshire. I had a 5Mbps connection a couple of months ago, purchased the Turbo and went to 10Mbps. Within the last couple of weeks it jumped to 15Mbps an then very recently to around 30Mpbs. Still 1Mbps up but not really an issue now.

  17. Re:What's the legality here? on Telecom Rollouts Raise Ire Over Utility Boxes · · Score: 1

    I think the article hinted toward the telecom/provider using the municipalities easement laws to distinguish themselves as a utility and therefore allowed to do what they will for the sake of the 'utility'.

  18. Re:dont shit where you eat on Bees Help Detectives Catch Serial Killers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What does he do? He covets. And what do we Covet? We covet what we see...

    I do believe it is most likely first-time killers DO kill close to home because it is their buffer zone. Then they start to spread their wings.

    Your link is to the announcement about the end of life for PHP4, the article states that the end of life date is finally here.

  23. Re:The Problem on Obscura Digital Demos "Minority Report"-Like Display · · Score: 1

    I thought that before I bought the Wii. I purchased Resident Evil 4 and was surprised how it didn't. I would stand up in front of my wall mounted tv and use both controllers for hours on end and not get tired. It is possible that it just requires conditioning.
