  1. Ahhh, Verizon on Verizon Set To Launch Mobile Payment Service · · Score: 0

    Another sorry excuse for a cell provider. I've been going round and round with them ever since they bought out Alltel (I'm a former Alltel customer with an Alltel data plan). They can't seem to see the forest for the trees. Why should I put any faith in some new Idea they've come up with?

  2. Nothing Is Free on Google Hands Out Web Security Scanner · · Score: 0, Troll

    Including skipfish. While I haven't downloaded it, I have no doubt that something is being reported back to Google. Just as with any business practice, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Google advertising maybe? Possibly, whatever the reason, I doubt "Free" in this case really isn't "Free".

  3. Re:Just so you get the pronunciation right... on Time Bomb May Have Destroyed 800 Norfolk City PCs' Data · · Score: 1

    And Suf-Fuck (Suffolk) is not too far down the road.

    You really have to love living in Virginia.

  4. What? No Northrup Grumman? on NASA Picks 5 Firms To Work On LEO Tech · · Score: 1

    For cryin out loud, how did they not get in the game? They seems to be in every other corner of the government market! Don't take this as a whine as to why NG isn't in the game, I for one am glad that they aren't. I would much rather see more smaller companies in there working for "the greater good" as it were, than the big boys. But, the big boys have some good technology that they bring to the table, but they also bring a hefty price tag and probably some nasty rules too.

  5. Re:Well, now we'll restart the F-22 on Russian Stealth Fighter Makes Its First Flight · · Score: 2, Informative

    Like they've always done. Their economics is going down the tubes like everyone else. This is just another way for them to put money back in their coffers again. They can't sell their old nuclear subs, they're too worn out and a hazard, and selling nuclear power plant technology is just too obvious.

  6. The Cold War on Russian Stealth Fighter Makes Its First Flight · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Just got a kick in the butt!

    Not that it ever really rested, but this is just another clue that we can't be going around apologizing to every other nation in the world for being the "bad boys" like our clueless president says we are.

  7. Is CBS just holding out? on CBS Refuses To Preserve Jack Benny Footage · · Score: 1

    To see how much they can get?

    Sad to say that this sounds so money-grubbing based, but in this day and time, it really wouldn't surprise me.

  8. Re:Or China... on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    They'll probably just go across and invade them in retribution for WWII

  9. Re:Copyright or "cultural heritage"? on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    LOL!!!

  10. Re:Copyright or "cultural heritage"? on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    Ummm, make that "I'm an Idiot".

    Hadn't had my coffee yet. (Now who's the idiot?)

  11. Re:Copyright or "cultural heritage"? on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    Exactly.

    I have no doubt that at some point, a "happy" tattoo artist thought it would be very funny to put "I'm and idiot" in Kanji as a tattoo on someone that didn't even bother to do their research first.
     

  12. Re:Copyright or "cultural heritage"? on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait until Japan demands payment for all of those Kanji tattoos.

  13. And I want payment for... on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1, Troll

    The minivan. I had the idea when I was a mere teenager back in the 60's.

    What's the problem here, Mexico not making enough money off of the drug lords or is the Obama mentality migrating south? If Mexico really wants payment for those images, they have a lot more people to go after than just Starbucks. A quick google search for Aztec images will net you quite a few different websites that use those images not only for show, but to make a profit.

  14. I have my own "gravel road" on Broke Counties Turn Failing Roads To Gravel · · Score: 1

    Some might call it a boat, or a hole in the water that you just keep dumping money into. Gravel roads are great for the greatly less traveled roads, but for general everyday traffic, bad idea. As someone else already mentioned, they are much more prone to need repair than an asphalt road.

    I mean I can see the logic here, "Let's save money by spending more money! The logic I see is the one that a child would argue with.

    I just hope the ambulance they are taking someone's loved one in isn't driving on one of those gravel roads.

  15. Re:How can a third pary lawsuit change my rights? on Google To Remove "Inappropriate" Books From Digital Library · · Score: 1

    Welcome to the Democratic Party? (sorry, I couldn't resist)

  16. Who stands to gain what? on Judge Opens Hearing On RealDVD Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    I think the lawyers are the only ones making out on this whole mess. You might as well take away cameras, any kind of audio recording device (answering machines, voice mail included), don't allow artists to paint. The list goes on....

  17. Re:Black cars. on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Because we have the Republicans holding the budget of the state hostage every year. I would love if we could get a higher income tax on the wealthy (of which I am one) and redo Prop 13 to only include non-income primary residences.

    And you have the Democrats doing their damnedest to spend it all. Maybe you should find a way to get rid of the leeches of society out there, like Octomom?

  18. Re:A Republic... if you can keep it. FAIL! on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    "Black and all dark hues are currently on the banned list." Looks like a ban on black cars to me.

  19. Re:A Republic... if you can keep it. FAIL! on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    So you think this is the "smart way"? Where and when did you get your PhD? Personally, I'll run my own life. So far the government seems to be doing an excellent job of screwing up everything else, and I'm not a lemming.

  20. What a maroon.... on California May Reduce Carbon Emissions By Banning Black Cars · · Score: 1

    That's a bunch of bullpelosi. What kind of moron did it take to come up with that legislation? I guess white cars will be next on the list, no sense in having all of the sunlight reflected back into the atmosphere. I'm sure that Al Gore, the man who invented the internet, will find that somehow white cars destroy the ozone layer, thus causing more of something that doesn't exist. If I wish to won a black vehicle, that's my business. If someone wants to ride a bike for the rest of their life, that's their business. If someone in here would like to think of me as a "teenager", so be it, the mindless usually let other people run their lives anyway. This rates right up there with that pinwheel from West Virginia wanting to ban Barbies.

  21. If you actually read this far.... on How To Keep Rats From Eating My Cables? · · Score: 1

    I haven't read all of the replies either, but my recommendation is not to try and fight the rats, put your cable in metal conduit and be done with it. It's a proven method, and you only have to pay for it once. Just my $0.02 worth...

  22. Re:Faint hope at end of article on RIAA May Be Violating a Court Order In California · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like a pragmatic solution and better than criminalizing your potential customers via dubious legal processes, such as this one.

    ...Or legalized racketeering.

    If you can't beat them, join them?
