  1. 2010 news flash: on Chrysler To Offer Wireless Internet In 2009 Models · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Recent studies show that tailgating has increased over 170% near certain Chrysler vehicles."

  2. Cough cough on The Life and Times of Buckminster Fuller · · Score: 5, Funny

    He documented his life so thoroughly (in the "Dymaxion Chronofile," which had grown to over 200K pages by his death) that biographers have had trouble putting their fingers on what, exactly, Fuller's contribution to civilization had been.
    Future historians will note that this trend spiralled upwards, as more and more ceaseless bloggers continued to kick the bucket.
  3. Hard to say. on Atari Tries To Supress Bad Reviews, Claims Piracy · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'd normally be skeptical of any game publisher for doing something like this, but none of the sites mentioned recieved official review copies of Alone In The Dark, which means they're all pirated. I'd say Atari's justified in that regard alone, not to mention AITD has recieved incredible press thus far (the tech demos alone are worth watching). I'd hate for a good game to sell poorly due to bad or no coverage... but I guess the opposite is also true.

  4. One word: on Staying Current In a Small Office Environment? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    RSS. Seriously, get feeds from everything you deem relevant, apply some filters, and go to town. There's really no better way to get convenient access to information you want without having specialists at your side.

  5. What!? on Wikipedia's Content Ripped Off More Egregiously Than Usual · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean... someone is taking information freely available on the internet and claiming it as their own for profit reasons? My word, what a shocking turn of events!

  6. Re:Closing loopholes != erosion of rights on Digital TV Foreshadows Erosion of Net Rights · · Score: 5, Insightful

    New tech is able to prevent you doing this. And as the cycle goes, newer tech is able to circumvent the prevention method. Analogy alert: After locks were invented, someone invented lockpicks.
  7. I wonder. on Digital TV Foreshadows Erosion of Net Rights · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How exactly can one foreshadow something that's already happening?

  8. Well... on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I assume they're worried that they'll be the tragic victims of mysterious heart attacks.

  9. Re:Privacy isn't that difficult. on Understanding Privacy · · Score: 5, Funny

    Privacy is defined by the set of social boundaries dealing with ACCESS in any one society that we are expected not to cross.
    So basically, my kitten society has no business venturing into your private blender?
