  1. Re:Oh, the timing... on Linus Torvalds: 'I Still Want the Desktop' · · Score: 1

    And a techie's definition of 'working', i.e. drinking coffee and reading slashdot is still the same too.

    You mean I am not paid to do *this*?

  2. What credentials? on Peter Hoddie Talks About His Internet of Things Construction Kit (Video) · · Score: 1

    He was one of the original QuickTime developers

    I stopped reading or caring about anything he had to say or had done after that line. I can't be the only person with a deep loathing of quicktime?

  3. Re:Assemble on Time Warner Turns Down Takeover Bid From Rupert Murdoch · · Score: 1

    Nope, not thinking straight. Now I'll never get Spiderman vs Batman.

  4. Assemble on Time Warner Turns Down Takeover Bid From Rupert Murdoch · · Score: 1

    Now I'll never see spider man in the avengers

  5. Re:Alama being sensationalist again... on Theater Chain Bans Google Glass · · Score: 1

    If they have banned noisy eaters as well, I would consider relocating and offer my patronage for each movie they show that I wish to see.

  6. Re:Or, we could just be playing a game on Games That Make Players Act Like Psychopaths · · Score: 2

    If this was true, there would be plenty of data with a positive correlation between game playing and immoral behavior. Can you point to any evidence that shows that games cause kids to "get out of control"?

    I agree and think that the fact is that *most* kids are playing video games now days as a part of their usual leisure time and have been for the past 15 - 20 years. If there were such a correlation, there would be a lot more "out of control" kids running around.

  7. Re:It's all about ME, ME, ME. on The Sci-Fi Myth of Robotic Competence · · Score: 2

    Come work for a government department

  8. Re:Screwed the Pooch on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 2

    I have found the inclusion of the digital copy to be much more burdensome than simply watching a dvd or bluray.

    Limited to particular devices and operating systems
    Annoying registration processes
    Time limited download (i.e. a limited period to claim)
    extra software installations

  9. Re:Blame Hollywood on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 2

    This!

    The "No one will own anything ever again" subscription model for all media. I don't understand it either.

  10. Re:Does it make me a bad person... on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 1

    There is not a good left-leaning news channel out there.

    This is a sad state of affairs, not that there are too many right leaning news outlets - nor that the left leaning ones are not up to muster, but rater, that the news leans at all.

  11. a modest proposal of sorts on Bill Gates & Twitter Founders Put "Meatless" Meat To the Test · · Score: 1

    If we truly are what we eat, then it stands to reason that the best food we could possibly eat is a healthy human?

  12. Re:Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra on Indie Game Jam Show Collapses Due To Interference From "Pepsi Consultant" · · Score: 1

    ... in most of the world, "downing" means to ingest.

    Is your most of the world "North America" perchance?

    South African, living in New Zealand here. Well understood.

  13. Re:There are actually groups of bad episodes on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    Yes, I always smile when I hear Picard's refrain "Shut Up Wesley"

  14. Re:There are actually groups of bad episodes on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    - Every time Wesley saves the day. I mean, let's be honest here, that's worse than Lassie.

    I hate these episodes also, although I believe Wesley's part is just like Lassie and Ewoks, he was there for the kids.

  15. Re:Troi on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    I am sensing that I was only hired for my cleavage

  16. Re:And yet only one idiot has this problem. on Is the Tesla Model S Pedal Placement A Safety Hazard? · · Score: 5, Funny

    O agree, and on an unrelated note, O would loke the standard QWERTY keybaord redesogned so that the letters O "eye" and O "Oh" are not placed so close together. Thor current placement causes me far too many typong errors

  17. Re:Jenny McCarthy on Survey Finds Nearly 50% In US Believe In Medical Conspiracy Theories · · Score: 1

    I don't believe the adjustments stop the flu so much as they help your body to cure itself should you fall ill.

  18. Re:Jenny McCarthy on Survey Finds Nearly 50% In US Believe In Medical Conspiracy Theories · · Score: 1

    When all you have is a chiropractic hammer, everyone's spine looks like a nail.

    Off topic I know, but I love this tag line!

  19. Re:Jenny McCarthy on Survey Finds Nearly 50% In US Believe In Medical Conspiracy Theories · · Score: 1

    I took my annual flu shot a few years ago.

    Later that night, I visited my friend and his then chiropractic girlfriend. On hearing what I had done, I got a lecture on how I was poisoning myself and that regular adjustments were all that were required for general health. . .

    Glad I don't have to deal with her anymore.

  20. Re:Man on Why Did New Zealand's Moas Go Extinct? · · Score: 0

    It's a Madhouse!

  21. Re:A new Study? on Why Did New Zealand's Moas Go Extinct? · · Score: 1

    700 year old Maori?

    I think we need genetic studies done to find out about their longevity.

  22. Re:Exactly. Why take it. on Krugman: Say No To Comcast Acquisition of Time Warner · · Score: 1

    Hell, you could paint me any colour and exploit me for that.

  23. If I lend you something, and while it is in your care it disappears, you owe me for it.

    If you fail to tell me you have lost it, and leave, "ignoring" my phone calls and letters - to me, you have absconded with my property that I have left in your care.

    So, even though jail time is a bit much in this case. Arresting someone with a warrant for theft and spending 10 - 20 minutes sorting it all out is not.

  24. Sorry no mod points.

  25. Re:And in other news... on Majority of Young American Adults Think Astrology Is a Science · · Score: 1

    Don't you just type that into google earths search bar?
