  1. Re:Reasons on Apple Quietly Drops iOS Jailbreak Detection API · · Score: 3, Funny


    Slashdot has summaries?

  2. Well... on Team Use Stem Cells to Restore Mobility in Paralyzed Monkey · · Score: 2


    All you naysayers can fuck off. I've just told my paralyzed monkey about this new and he's most excited.

    Go rain on some other parade!

  3. "CR48"? on Google Unveils Beta Chrome OS Notebook · · Score: 1


    "CR48"? They should have named it "CR49".

    Happy World AIDS Day to you, too!

    lol.

  5. I'm surprised. on Wikileaks DDoS Attacker Arrested, Equipment Seized · · Score: 3, Interesting


    I honestly thought it was government(s) behind the DDoS.

  6. Re:Huh on Windows 7 Phone Gets Jailbreak Tool · · Score: 1

    Ah shit, you're right. I forgot that I installed Xcode off my DVDs before I paid my $99. Mea culpa!

  7. Re:Huh on Windows 7 Phone Gets Jailbreak Tool · · Score: 1


    Why should I have to pay one cent more to use my own property? I've been corrected on the developer having to load the software, but it's still a painfully manual process for users of ad-hoc packages.

    Development packages such as Xcode aren't cheap to develop. Apple charges individuals a flat rate for access to the developer program.

    $99 is a steal for all the tools they include.

    that guarantees the leaks from Wikileaks are legitimate and not some delusional writing from Sarah Palin?

    These were done on computer, not with paper and crayon.
    That's all the proof you need.

    Time to re-watch Forbidden Planet.

    If you haven't seen it, do so! It's a true classic of sci-fi.

  11. Re:No, corn is not cool on The Genome of Your Thanksgiving Supper · · Score: 2, Informative


    There's some lobbying underway in the US to change the name of "high fructose corn syrup" to "corn sugar".

    That's how bad a rap HFCS has, calling it "sugar" is an improvement.

  12. Re:It's the apps, stupid on Hands-On With Acer's New 10-Inch Android Tablet · · Score: 2, Informative


    There's a great app called AirVideo which streams everything I've thrown at it. It's a measly $2.99 IIRC.

    Server runs on your Windows/Mac/Linux box and you connect to it with the iDevice.

    Screw the people that frown on those who drive Hummers.

    I want to be rich enough to say "I'm taking the family on a cruise across the ocean on our personal cargo ship." The captain would floor it from the dock and leave a 30 km long black trail of smoke.

    He's a character in a potty-training book I used to read to my daughter.

    Unlike the book, this Mr. Poo is going to the Grown Up potty where Mr. Bubba will enjoy Mr. Poo's company...

    This guy rocks. All the anger should be directed at the cheaters who thought themselves too smart to be caught.

    Watch the stats change when the cheaters get lousy marks.

    FTA: "In five years' time or so, I doubt websites will exist and I expect the vast majority of sites from the first twenty years of the web to be gone forever," says Jim Boulton, curator of Digital Archaeology.

    Websites won't exist in 5 years? What will be be using, direct neural interfaces?
