  1. Re:Bill Gates 3.0? on Facebook's Zuckerberg To Give Away Half His Cash · · Score: 2

    I'm waiting for the upgrade to Bill Gates 3.11. I've heard he will be better at working in groups.

  2. Re:Kalligra on Does the End of KOffice Mean the End of KDE? · · Score: 1

    By their descriptions. As a guy who hasn't used KDE, I can't even tell you what Plasma and Dolphin are for. Package managers are wonderful things.

  3. Re:slow news day? on Facebook Rolls Out Redesigned Profile Pages · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That was first reported at least two years ago.

  4. Left out, again on Advent Calendar For Geeks · · Score: 1

    What about those who aren't looking forward to christmas? I guess this is another grievance to air in front of the festivus pole.

  5. Pretty cool tech on BendDesk Merges Computer, Monitor and Desk · · Score: 1

    I've had the opportunity to play around with Microsoft's Surface and found it to be quite interesting. This looks like it would be better for daily use. The main problem I had with the surface is how uncomfortable it is to use in its standard configuration. Having a desk like this could allow for many cool interfaces, allowing us to get to a point where computers more easily provide help with daily tasks. This would be great for people doing design or research, where things both physical and digital are important to the process.

    Neither is the worth of their property.

  7. Re:This is how I see it on Supreme Court Refuses P2P 'Innocent Sharing' Case · · Score: 1

    Then can we start using 'identity violation' instead of 'identity theft'?

    mod parent up. that is all.

  9. Re:Not that hard to kill facebook's tracking on Facebook's 'Like This' Button Is Tracking You · · Score: 1

    That doesn't protect you from tracking if you go to any other sites without ad-block, noscript, etc. from the same IP address.

  10. BOO! on Causing Terror On the Cheap · · Score: 1

    That one was for free.

  11. Re:Huh???? on Righthaven To Explain Why Reposting Isn't Fair Use · · Score: 1

    Then maybe the judge will allow for the publishing of credit card / social security info. Free to use as long as you don't make money. Spend other people's money all you want, though. It is just data, after all.

  12. Re:rage HD on RAGE On iOS Shows Promise · · Score: 1

    It is just as HD as many "HD" console games.

  13. Re:Cats are intelligent on Oxford Scientists Say Dogs Are Smarter Than Cats · · Score: 1

    I think that 'cat' should be a valid plural form. Maybe I should stop thinking of everything as food...

  14. I feel bad for the 911 operators on FCC To Allow Texting To 911 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I accidentally a whole coke bottle.

  15. Re:Living under surface on Life Found In Deepest Layer of Earth's Crust · · Score: 2, Funny

    Our creepers are even worse.

  16. Re:In Other News on Comparing Windows and Ubuntu On Netbooks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Orange is making computers again!?! I haven't used an Orange in years. Are they POSIX compliant yet?

  17. Re:And what has he done lately? on World of Goo Dev Wants Big Publishers To Build Indie Teams · · Score: 1

    It isn't always as easy as simply porting it over. In many respects, it is easy to port a game to Linux than to port it to OS X. Porting assumes that you can easily access the same type of graphical APIs. If you used DirectX, which Microsoft pushes heavily, you have to do at least some work to port it to OpenGL. Even using OpenGL can be difficult since OS X doesn't support 3.0. Many of the techniques and functions that should be available on modern hardware simply aren't exposed in OS X. It ends up becoming a very special case. You can't just recompile the code.

  18. Re:Man... on Nintendo Seeks To Trademarks "It's On Like Donkey Kong" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who the hell goes around measuring that type of stuff?!

  19. Mythbusters on Mystery Missile Launched Near LA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Missile firing off the coast of California? Gotta be the Mythbusters. This week's myth was that you could easily build and fire a missile near the US without being caught. Myth confirmed!

  20. Re:anti-overclocking technology on NVIDIA's New Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Tested · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between motherboards and GPUs/CPUs. The motherboards use overclocking as a feature that you pay extra for. GPUs and CPUs sell based on their clock, so the idea of an end user overclocking their chip is frightening to the manufacturer. They want you to pay extra, just like you did for the motherboard, for the overclocked chip. An easy to overclock chip isn't an enticing business move. It is far better to sell small gains for a large price.

  21. Javascript? on A JavaScript Gameboy Emulator, Detailed In 8 Parts · · Score: 3, Funny

    Real men write their GB emulators in Minecraft.

  22. Re:Brilliant on Massive DDoS Cuts Myanmar Off From Net · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In a place like Burma, the normal citizens are not accessing any form of the Internet. The people of Burma would really appreciate having control of their own country, or maybe food. The Internet is pretty far down on the list.
