  1. Re:Wow .. Grade 7 has changed on 7th Graders Find Large Cave On Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    I've been to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and none of the caves there are 5-600 feet wide, tall, or anything.

    The Parks Service begs to differ. Would length fall into your definition of anything?

  2. Re:Operative words on Fifth of Android Apps Expose Private Data · · Score: 1

    If only the phone came with an app that would send and receive text messages. Maybe call it Messages.

  3. Re:would be a felony in my state on The White House Listed On Real Estate Website · · Score: 1
    Did you even read TFS? Aside from that county clerks have nothing to do with a listing, it wasn't a hack or anything intentionally shady.

    It looks like Redfin software pulled an example listing from the website Owners.com by mistake.

  4. Re:well, of course. on Adobe Goes To Flash 10.1, Forgoes Security Fix For 10 · · Score: 1

    If you do any sort of login scripts, just roll your own with batch files that query the registry for version and install the new one off your network if the registry doesn't return what you have defined as the latest version for your environment. That's what I do.

    Yet being 19 is no problem at many Indian Casinos?

  6. 35 saddened users on Microsoft Cancels Bing Cashback Program · · Score: 3, Funny

    From the look of the comments, Microsoft has at least 35 saddened users.

    Snarky remark in TFS slamming MS, check.

  7. Re:Home Labs? on McDonald's, Cadmium, and Thermo Electron Niton Guns · · Score: 1

    I believe you only really needed the duct tape.

  8. Re:AHA! on McDonald's, Cadmium, and Thermo Electron Niton Guns · · Score: 1

    Belgians? The headquarters are in London. Is this a meme that I'm missing?

    I was also on a ruby team. Only cause the diamond team cut me.

    well, they are "fair and balanced"

  11. Re:Why the Tech industry sucks. on iPad Bait and Switch — No More Unlimited Data Plan · · Score: 1

    AT&T Wireless, the old blue fellas, once offered free outgoing SMS as well. The current incarnation should give that back too I guess?

  12. Re:Flamebait on Google Reportedly Ditching Windows · · Score: 1

    Heck, I've some recent ones that use Firefox rather than Chrome. Especially with GAM/DFP, Chrome doesn't even work for that online property.

  13. Re:That's nice on Skype App Updated, Allows 3G Calling On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Or why don't you buy one of the above mentioned phones. You're missing the point of slashvertisements.

  14. Re:Awesome! And good timing for iPhone OS 4 on Skype App Updated, Allows 3G Calling On the iPhone · · Score: 1

    We also have normal portability, so a phone number that was an AT&T landline could now be a Verizon cell, and have moved from NYC to Los Angeles.

  15. Re:act of treason on When the US Government Built Ultra-Safe Cars · · Score: 1

    For all intensive purposes, it does beg the question why the median person could care less. It literally pains me.

  16. Re:Latency on How CDNs and Alternative DNS Services Combine For Higher Latency · · Score: 1

    Thus the point being that the two combined are not as beneficial as one would hope. You misread the headline.

  17. Re:Yet another reason... on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 1

    In New York you can drive from the beach to the snow in 3 hours? I said many metrics.

  18. Re:Razor Blades on HP Explains Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive · · Score: 1

    Off topic maybe, but at least I wasn't modded +5 for using incorrect cases. If case mattered to Mods, I'd been as on topic as GP.

    Hawaii has Vulcans?

  20. Re:Yet another reason... on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 1

    I agree with you defending my home state, but I've experienced earthquakes (6.0+) and out of control forest fires. Not one of either as a minor disturbance, but both multiple times with damage to my property. I'd still take either (and South Sac too) over the possible natural disasters in other states.

  21. Re:Yet another reason... on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Then can you please leave? Some of us like living in the most diverse (on many metrics, from people to environment) state in the union.

  22. Re:bulk ink on HP Explains Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive · · Score: 1

    If you had purchased an HP, the print head would be replaced with the cartridge. Thus, no problem.

  23. Re:Just go with a laser printer on HP Explains Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive · · Score: 1

    you know that a drum cost as much as a new brother, right? why do you think he got rid of it?

  24. Re:bulk ink on HP Explains Why Printer Ink Is So Expensive · · Score: 1

    With a fixed head and then filling it with bulk ink? That'll destroy the printer pretty quick. Seeing how this is an HP story, I don't see why it's relevant to mention buying cartridges without heads in them, but have fun when the weak pigment in your bulk ink fades in 2 years and gradma's photo fades to nothing.

    Thank you. So many people fail to realize the difference that makes.
