  1. IODINE TABLETS on A Handy Radiation Dose Chart From XKCD · · Score: 1

    DELICIOUS.

  2. Re:Confirmed?? By whom? on 2011 MacBook Pros Confirmed To Crash Under Load · · Score: 1

    Netcraft, obviously.

  3. Re:well regarded ? on Chinese Phone Maker ZTE Turns Down WP7 · · Score: 2, Funny

    You know a device is bad when even China doesn't want to touch it (and clone it).

  4. Re:The US shouldn't be there on UN Intervention Begins In Libya · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Innovate! on Open-Source Bach; Copyright-Free Goldbergs · · Score: 2

    They are innovating. Just not in games. See: latest commits to Linux kernel, Apache, LZMA(2), Android, Firefox and Chromium outpacing IE, the website you're posting on...

  6. Re:Hollywood Hackulture on UK PC Users Hit By Huge Fake Antivirus Attack · · Score: 1

    It was very interesting, if a bit hard to read. You should read it.

  7. Re:Hm on 'Pruned' Microchips Twice As Fast and Efficient · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the news is they developed a heuristic of least used parts of a chip, slapped on a tiny emulator so functions don't fail, and call it a day.

    For example, Chip $foo has functions A B C D E & F. E is used on average once every gigaflop, so using the CPU/other functions, they implement E and cut out all parts for E.

  8. Re:Public pr0n on Google Extends SSL To Developer-Facing APIs · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I don't know what's worse: the fact that people image search porn on Google and want it private using https, or the fact that I had to confirm that lesbian midget fisting is a valid and easily found Google Image search.

  9. Re:Good non hype link, now do that for more storie on RSA's Servers Hacked · · Score: 1

    Fear is good for business. I'm not advocating this is a good thing, however.

    In the recent nuclear accident caused by Japan's tsunami, iodine tablet sales soared as you said. War brings up the sales of weapons obviously, both government and consumer (home defense and all that). Fear of robbery/previous example also aids business for security systems. Swine flu tanked pork prices; OK, that wasn't good for businesses but even swine flu infected pork was safe if cooked to FDA standards, and boy did I enjoy all that cheap pork.

    The list goes on...

  10. Re:Crap, crap, crap on RSA's Servers Hacked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Explain that to his manager.

    I'll bet $1337 that GP's scenario will occur anyway.

  11. Re:Convenience on Is the Business Card Dead? · · Score: 1

    Duh. It's free for the client. Did you think I was talking about the cost to me if I was making and handing out business cards? Really?

  12. Convenience on Is the Business Card Dead? · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's more of a easy and free note to yourself.

  13. Re:*BSD on Does Android Have a Linux Copyright Problem? · · Score: 2

    Problem, Google?

  14. Re:Am I going to get sued on PS3 Hacker Claims He's Jailbroken 3.60 Firmware · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please assume the party escort position.

  15. Re:Know your reader on Japan Earthquake May Have Shifted Earth's Axis · · Score: 1

    http://www.google.com/images?q=ubuntu+calendar

    (Likely NSFW) It didn't work too well with Ubuntu, apparently.

  16. Re:Does anyone actually "stream" illegal content? on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5IDqAvzv44&playnext=1&list=PLB94072AB718726CB

    Like this. This is obviously illegal and you should buy the DVD, not watch this for free.

  17. Re:Paying back those Hollywood donors on White House Wants New Copyright Law Crackdown · · Score: 2

    Except you idiots (yes, we know MPAA and RIAA post here all the time on every copyright story) want to make copyright infringement a felony.

    So, if you go to some website and watch an illegal infringing ad hosted by Google, the viewer, Google, and the ad poster are now felons, subject to wiretapping!

    This can get even worst as a DDoS. Face it, your lobbied and money laundered law is useless because you want to crush fair use and make everyone a felon, intentionally. There won't be anyone to buy your crap in jail if such bullshit passes into law.

  18. Re:Come on now on Facebook Kills Mark Zuckerberg Action Figure · · Score: 0

    Help, there's soda all over my keyboard!

  19. Re:Developing countries, not US on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    If you think Valve would ever do that for a new game, you'd be kidding yourself.

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/630/

    Free from day 1.

    Also Dead Space 2: price dropped 33% in a month.

  20. Re:Mac, Linux, Android and Solaris. on New Adobe Flash 0-Day · · Score: 2

    Good luck leaving userland from a flash plug-in, unless you are dumb and run everything from root.

  21. Uh. on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    Doesn't iOS have backends that needs tending, like I don't know, being able to receive calls and mail?

  22. DEMOPAN on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    Stout Shako for 2 refined.

  23. Re:Open Sourced? on GNU Free Call Announced, SIP-based VoIP · · Score: 1

    This is satire. There are people that actually believe this kind of reasoning. See: managers.

    (Off-topic: but you would have to admit the "derivative works" parts of the GPLv2 is vague terminology, and can give odd ideas like using gcc means you must open your code.)

  24. Re:Drop the GNU. on GNU Free Call Announced, SIP-based VoIP · · Score: 1

    GNUCostCall (pronounced nu cost call) would kind of work...

  25. Re:Um, turn it off? on Richard Stallman: Cell Phones Are 'Stalin's Dream' · · Score: 1

    How do you know it's truly off?

    Unless you remove the battery, cell phones always have the capability to transmit information.

    Citation: US law dictates that phones must be able to call 911 in an emergency, for free, if physically possible.
