  1. Best news I've heard all day really. on An Inbox Is Not a Glove Compartment · · Score: 1

    So when media companies store their movies, music, book, on third party servers or data center the content no longer belongs to them and they give up their ownership of the content. I love this judge.

  2. Meh Lame-oh on Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage · · Score: 1, Insightful

    simply some lazy marketer trying to hype the game. About 40,000 people die from terrorists each year in the U.S., only here we use the euphemism "automobile drivers".

  3. Was it on Lost Northwest Pilots Were Trying Out New Software · · Score: 1

    A WoW Raid scheduling system?

  4. Putting the cart in front of the horse IMO on Swiss Experimenter Breeds Swarm Intelligence · · Score: 1

    We have not even realized swarm stupidity yet, how can they claim swarm intelligence?

  5. Re:Very impatiantly waiting... on Apple Seeks Patent On Operating System Advertising · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Apple.... the new Microsoft

  6. Clarification please on Apple Seeks Patent On Operating System Advertising · · Score: 1

    Is an operating system not software?

    Seems to be a patent based on semantics really

    What distinguishes software named "operating system" from software named "web server" for example?

  7. Re:Yikes. I work for Lockheed... on Lockheed Snags $31 Million To Reinvent the Internet, Microsoft To Help · · Score: 1

    well.. you don't work for Lockheed anymore... ; P

  8. Re:What is the big deal? on FBI Bringing Biometric Photo Scanning To North Carolina, Via DMV · · Score: 1

    There is no big deal at all really, America stopped being the world leader. The only way America can influence other people is by pointing guns at them.

    America is ghost, dead, kaput. The principles America used to stand for will always live on though. You might have to move someplace else to realize them, but sometimes a change of scenery is nice.

    Had this conversation the other day actually... when my family first arrived in this country the pilots invited my little brother and I into the cockpit for a view, today we're lucky to get on a plane.

    America has gone in the direction of the country we ran away from, now it seems time to run away from America.

  9. Re:Symbian and Windows Mobile on Analyst Predicts Android Overtaking iPhone In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Very true. Apples policies on apps is far from Genius. Even patches to existing apps that are already approved have to undergo their review process, meanwhile our customers sit and wait for bug fixes.

    Go Android Go.

  10. Re:Missed opportunity on Barack Obama Wins the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Very true, a noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands.

    Dear Mr. President, if you don't give it back at least find some balls and earn it. We have two war criminals that sacrificed the lives of over 4,000 troops on the Altar Of Lies. If America is to lead the world we must do so on a foundation of honor and justice. Restore America's honor.

  11. A rise in judicial intellect on Japanese Ruling Against Winny Dev Overturned On Appeal · · Score: 1

    Kudos to the high court.

    Chop sticks can feed people, or be poked in people's eyes. Chop sticks don't violate laws, people violate laws. Technology is neutral.

  12. I'll wait 'till they install the sniper rifles on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: 1

    It would be a lot more entertaining if there were sniper rifles attached to those snooper-scopes. Virtual vigilantism. muahahahahaha.

  13. On a positive note... on NASA Downgrades Asteroid-Earth Collision Risk · · Score: 4, Funny

    We won't have to file taxes by April 15 in 2036, or possibly ever again. Death 1, Taxes 0.

  14. Australia is a big disappointment on AU Legal Group Says ISP Allowed 100K Illegal Downloads · · Score: 1

    Is a car manufacturer responsible if the driver of car chooses to drive under the influence?
    Is a pencil manufacturer responsible if a students stabs another with a No. 2?
    Is a lock maker responsible if a thief picks the lock?
    The Australian government and legal system is beset by stupidity of gargantuan proportions. If the movie industry wants ISPs to invest resources and time monitoring activities of subscribers perhaps the ISPs deserve to be compensated for such services.

  15. Re:What's the big deal? on Universe Has 100x More Entropy Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    Can you rephrase the example with pot? The 200 proof .5% BAC stuff confuses the hell out of me.

  16. An ounce of prevention? on FBI Investigates Liberator of Court Records · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the FBI should send all their subjects annual reports the way the Social Security Administration sends out annual status reports.

    Perhaps if perps knew just how much "they" knew it may dissuade further action that would land them in the "big house"?

  17. More government turd polishing on Relaunched Recovery.gov Fails Accessibility Standards · · Score: 1

    Eliminate personal income tax, rely on the corporations that buy the politicians to keep government afloat, stop giving our money to failed corporations, and you won't need a $17 million website to see how bad government does it's job.
    Go ahead dress me in troll. But I'm an American, not a Democrap, not a Republican't - a pure and simple American. Real Americans know that the thing that Democraps and Republican'ts do best is nothing. The government should do more of THAT and let Americans take care of themselves.

  18. I volunteer on Google Wants to Map Indoors, Too · · Score: 3, Informative

    To map all the strip joints and beer pubs.

  19. Re:And the point goes to the criminals on Massachusetts Police Can't Place GPS On Autos Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    The founding fathers were criminals in the eyes of the British. The courts in this case are correct. It's not about ideology it's about principle. The assumption you make is that all "criminals" are bad and all "officers" are good, a bit too elementary.

  20. Re:News? on In Trial, Kindles Disappointing University Users · · Score: 1

    Amen to that - FUCK AMAZON

  21. Isn't the battery somewhat outdated? on Growing Power Gap Could Force Smartphone Tradeoffs · · Score: 1

    Was the battery not a solution for a time when devices were used temporarily then set aside? Wouldn't personal-perpetual power make more sense for an age when devices spend more time being on rather than off?

  22. Well on Honda's Answer To the Segway · · Score: 1

    That's one way to keep people from driving under the influence, put them on a unicycle. LOL

  23. Wii on Cops Play Wii During Undercover Drug Raid · · Score: 2, Funny

    the new Crack

  24. I have trademarked all digested food on Malaysia Seeking to Copyright Food? · · Score: 1

    So eat all you want, but in the end you'll be paying me.... muahhahahahaha!!! 1 million dollars.

  25. Stupid government is on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 1

    more dangerous than cunning terrorists.
