  1. Re:Wtf? on Google PageRank Suit Dismissed · · Score: 1

    It actually is a victory when you think about it. They went from being completely unknown to being famous for sucking.

  2. Re:RoR -- Made for Java Devs on Ruby For Rails · · Score: 1

    I switched from php to RoR 6 months ago and My IQ actually went up by 7 points. You can't argue with that kind of success.

  3. Re:Sergey Brin is a hypocrite, plain and simple on Google Committed to Chinese Business · · Score: 1

    Get a grip. There are many worse personality traits than hypocracy.
    Like being a bad speller.
    Or a spelling nazi.

  4. Re:Geez... what a precedent on Lawyers Ordered to Play RPS to Settle Dispute · · Score: 1

    Maybe a quick round of rochambeaux.

  5. Re:Integrated graphics are for entry level machine on Ars Technica Reviews the MacBook · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    why don't you share how much tail you get jogging around town with your creative sound-juicer or whatever the hell you've got.

  6. Re:Nope on Examining the New Bubble · · Score: 1

    Well that's interesting since interest rates are the highest in 5 years and most people agree that the housing market is on a downward trend.

  7. Re:Nope on Examining the New Bubble · · Score: 1

    Real estate isn't going up because the dollar is cheap and foreigners are buying; it's going up because interest/mortage rates are low and people can therefore afford to borrow more money

    What country do you live in???

  8. Re:Agree with article on Examining the New Bubble · · Score: 1

    The roth is better than 401k in every way but the most important one -> your employer doesn't match the funds you put into a roth. Also if your employer offers a 401k there is a good chance you will not me eligible to contribute to a roth (depending on income).

  9. Re:Ugh on Web 2.0 Goes To Work · · Score: 1

    We're having terminology problems. Collaborative doesn't mean 2.0 either. Web 2.0 means making xmlhttp requests (aka Ajax), and most blogs don't.

  10. Re:Oh no! on eBay Looking for Allies Against Google · · Score: 1

    just for the record, and the people who weren't around back then, the e stands for eco.

  11. Re:No way on Golf's Digital Divide · · Score: 1

    Maybe the golden rule should be: don't be a selfish prick and spend money you can't afford on toys thus sacrificing the financial security of you and your loved ones.

    try being middle class and explaining away a $4500 golf gizmo to the old lady sometime, douchebag.

  13. Re:Substituion Cipher? on Mafia Boss Using Crook Crypto Captured · · Score: 1

    I guess you're assuming that all php files are world-readable. Why is that?

  14. Re:Wherefore home automation? on Is Insteon Better than X10 for Home Automation? · · Score: 1

    It sounds like you would be better off with
    1) the clapper
    2) a security system
    3) a heavier dog water dish

  15. Re:Well and... on Missing Link Found Between Human Ancestors · · Score: 2, Funny

    Those people who "don't get it" are the ones who wrote the New Testament.

    And you're basing this conclusion on your interpretation of 'Jesus Christ Superstar'? Wow. Just wow.

  16. Re:Oracle has run on Linux for ages on Linux Helping Oracle · · Score: 1

    Anyone who has ever tried to install 10g on linux knows it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.

    yeah but that 351K will get him hella laid.

  19. Re:No point to this study on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    Hogwash like what? Why can't prayer be effective? Even if it's just a placebo effect. I don't get people who are anti-prayer, it's not like it can hurt anything.

  20. Re:0o on VR Treatment for Lazy Eye · · Score: 2, Interesting

    they way my eye doctor explained it to me, the pathways between your eye and brain are softwired until you're 7 or 8, and after that there's no way to correct it.

  21. Re:Lets say it together: on Web Site Attacks Against Unpatched IE Flaw Spike · · Score: 1

    Better yet, use Firefox and some Anti-virus software. Especially if you surf porn on the pc you vpn in to work from.

  22. Re:Lets say it together: on Web Site Attacks Against Unpatched IE Flaw Spike · · Score: 1

    They still use passwords the same as always. The picture they show is just an anti-phishing measure that probably doesn't work very well (you have to remember that you're supposed to see some picture). Anyway it obviously won't protect you from this kind of attack.

    Is anyone else finding this article hard to masturbate to?

  24. Re:fp on Suing Google Over Pagerank · · Score: 1

    The court simply finds there is no conceivable way to prove that the relative significance assigned to a given Web site is false.

    KinderStart will lose. Case closed.


    Except in this case there is proof - type 'kinderstart' in google and you won't see them. Not that there's anything necessarily wrong with blackballing kinderstart, but they can easily prove that they have been listed below their significance.

  25. Re:Try the 'in-your-shoes' test on Suing Google Over Pagerank · · Score: 1

    Depends. If the reason Oracle doesn't appear is because of a deliberate attempt by MS to block it, then no.

    How about if Microsoft deliberately blocked Oracle because Oracle tried to trick Microsoft into displaying them higher. This is what happened in this case.
