    Today's XKCD put that in my head. I couldn't resist.

  2. Re:Google changed iGoogle only a few days ago... on Yahoo Changes User Profiles, To Massive Outrage · · Score: 1

    The side-tabbed browsing of specific modules of iGoogle has actually enhanced my experience with it. The improvements to the Gmail module were long overdue. Am I the only one who thinks the change was a good thing?

  3. hmmm on Al-Qaeda Web Sites Go Offline · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Perhaps Anonymous did something good and remains anonymous instead of taking credit for things like they normally would.

    Have you ever seen what it takes to be an Accountant/Certified Public Beancounter? They practically are tax lawyers.

  5. Re:This makes me proud to be an American. on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    Yeah we did. It was called the 1700's and the Brits were the terrorists.

  6. ahhh in a perfect world... on Obama Beats McCain In Spam Landslide · · Score: 1

    Who cares who spammers want to be President? In a perfect world, their right to vote would be forfeited and they would be in a 10'x12' cell.

    How about saving power by using lynx instead of a nice fancy graphical browser? Hell! I just did!

  8. Re:Tax Dollars on Two Europeans Indicted In US For 2003 DDOS Attacks · · Score: 1

    True. Except when it is a civil matter The Man acts as a mediator between parties and/or settles the dispute with a trial. In my state the Docket would read "[Party 1] vs [Party 2]".

    In the case of a felony, The Man would be the second party. The docket in my state would read "The State of Ohio vs. [Party 2]"

    Only in very special matters is there ever "The United States vs. [Party 2]" in which case Party 2 is fucked for even having their name on the paper.

  9. Re:Tax Dollars on Two Europeans Indicted In US For 2003 DDOS Attacks · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Because it's a felony. With any felony - a crime against the state - technically, the government is always involved.

    My thoughts exactly. News? no. Waste of time to look at? Definitely. NEXT!

  11. Re:Hmmm on Small Asteroid On Collision Course With Earth · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, if something large were to hit the other side of the world, we would be the unfortunate ones to die slowly of the side-effects. As the Earth is a round object, the fireball from an Armageddon-scale impact would be projected out into space and not envelope the Earth itself.

    says the conjugal obligation isn't just two years but five years if you count the data services/plan.

    That's just how I parsed it. And quite frankly, it doesn't change my interpretation of the sentence one bit.

  13. hmm on Sound Bites of the 1908 Presidential Candidates · · Score: 1

    Considering the limited longevity of the Edison wax cylinders, I'm surprised that they've lasted 100 years! This was a good find in deed!

    What kind of attitude is this? You come-off as a condescending PHB. All the other stuff is good but damn. That just put a bad taste in my mouth.

  16. Oh jeeze on Managing Personal Electronics and Software In the Workplace · · Score: 1

    If I had a nickel for every time I absolutely had to install Real Player or get someone's personal camera to work with their work computer and it was a "life or death" situation, I would have enough money to buy lunch at London New York.

  17. hmmm on Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find it odd how the Perry nuclear power facility in Lake County, Ohio was sensitive enough to be blurred for the longest time but Davis-Besse and Fermi just up the coast of Lake Erie were not.

  18. Why? on AT&T, Verizon To Require Opt-In For User Tracking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe I'm paranoid, but how can user tracking ever be a good thing?

    The do this, so once elections are over, they will be the first to post an article about it.

    Yeah, they and the ever-so enigmatic AC have something in common. Every now and then I see a really long, trolling, and often well-written first post as if AC was crouched in wait for the article to drop.

    The first time I read the words "Fr0sty Pi$$" in the New York Times, I'll be sure to check the name of the columnist. Maybe then we can solve the mystery as to who AC is.

    Buzz Lightyear called. He wants his suit back.

  22. hmmm on Run Mac OS X On Non-Apple Hardware, With a Dongle · · Score: 1

    I'm actually surprised that Apple hasn't marketed something like this. I mean, sure there was the mac mini. But If I wanted to try OSX with as little risk as possible, a "demo dongle" would be a lot less involved and probably cheaper from Apple due to their economies of scale.
