  1. Also TVless on The Cable Industry's a La Carte Bait and Switch · · Score: 1

    I have not needed a TV since I got out of uni a few years back.
    Gamer here. LoL is way better than Survivor or whatever.
    Hulu has tons of that content, foh free.
    Slashdot, reddit, and a plethora of web comics/reviews (shout-out to Yahtzee) provide hours of entertainment daily as well.

    Why would I pay money for something already paid for with ads? When the good stuff is online anyway for free? Nice try, Cable Co USA.

  2. Re:Tax planning and rich people on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    Google Inc. cut its taxes by $3.1 billion in the last three years using a technique that moves most of its foreign profits through Ireland and the Netherlands to Bermuda.

    The FIRST line of that article. This was an issue the first time that was posted on slashdot
    The $60bn is the total amount the govt loses out on due to this kind of mucking about with numbers and such. Not any one company.

  3. Pretty sure on FPS Benchmarks No More? New Methods Reveal Deeper GPU Issues · · Score: 1

    They already show Min Frame Rate next to average on Tom's Hardware....

  4. Typo on UK Joins Laser Nuclear Fusion Project · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem has been that the technical ability to reach 'breakeven' — the point at which the same amount of energy is produced as is consumed

    There. I fixed that for you.

  5. Mercury on Theoretical Shoe Inserts Could Power Your Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Wiki mentions mercury in the history section.... Goes on to say any hydrophobic liquid conductor. Not a lot of those I don't think.
    Does anyone know what liquids work best for this application?
    The world produces a lot of excess mercury and it would be cool to see a new application for it -- despite any health issue associated with the substance.
    Just saying.

  6. Hmmm on When Algorithms Control the World · · Score: 3, Informative

    It would seem to me that physical principles govern the world in which we live. All of which can me shown mathematically.
    Some goofy apes using maths to run their roomba or make money isn't exactly mind blowing of frightening.
    But then again i'm not the target audience of this story.

  7. News? on Google Street View Gets Israeli Government's Nod · · Score: 2

    Was it some big deal that google was not allowed to map streets via this method in Israel?

  8. Quick Question on 1 in 8 Take Fake Phone Calls to Avoid Talking to Others · · Score: 0

    Are we talking business majors here, or like... regular people?

  9. Yeah so on Anti-Matter Belt Discovered Around Earth · · Score: 0

    We found this thin layer of stuff enveloping our planet, haven't confirmed it envelops the other desolate planets in the neighborhood, don't have good predictions as to what it actually does there... and we want to talk about harvesting it for fuel?
    Go team go.

  10. Irrelevant on Why Some People Don't Have Fingerprints · · Score: 0

    Doesn't the DHS just use the naked shots from the mm wave scanners to identify people now?
    "I see you're coming in from the arctic, Mr. Anderson." *Bahdumchi*

  11. Almost effective. or super effective on The History of Invisible Ink · · Score: 0

    Doubly invisible if you keep it in a dirty magazine. That is, it would be, if the pages wouldn't keep getting stuck together.
    Or would that just make it triply invisible.

  12. Wrong way around on The Oslo Massacre and Violent Video Games: the Facts · · Score: 0

    Is it obvious to anyone else that people with warped senses of reality might be drawn to video games?

    It's not that video games create individuals with warped a sense of reality.

  13. How is it on Mass Psychosis In the USA? · · Score: 0

    that doctors are still being wooed by the drug companies when this is and has been for some 20+ years an obvious case of conflict of interest? It's an entirely new class of absurd....

  14. Overclocking on AMD Llano APU Review - Slow CPU, Fast GPU · · Score: 0

    Whats the story on overclocking these things?

    I'd imagine there's a whole new set of problems to overcome before they can be reliably tweaked by the end user

  15. No Way on Massive Botnet "Indestructible," Say Researchers · · Score: 0

    That Command and Conquer is moving to a Pay 2 Play system. I don't care if electronic arts is ToDaLly - 4 it or not. The people wont go "4" it. Also there is no way 4 million already signed up, someone cooked that number on a spoon.

    I've got to be reading this wrong, it doesn't make a lick of sense.

  16. Open Attendee list? on OKCon11 Opens In Berlin · · Score: 0

    Is that all the names of the attendees on the registration page? Or is that past keynote speakers or something?

    Should I be surprised if the former?

  17. How on Graphing Internet Interaction To Spot Spammers · · Score: 0

    does one get the data to label them "spammer" or not?


    Side note: I thought title said Graphene - Internet Interaction and my head started spinning.

  18. Funny and Fake on Give The Onion a Pulitzer Campaign Gaining Steam · · Score: 0

    Very few stories (none come to mind) in The Onion are real at all. This is distinctly different from Colbert or Stewart.

  19. 1:33-1:34 on Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage · · Score: 0

    That fridge definitely says "Shit Burger" on the front.

  20. Re:Pac-Man is too hard on AI Takes On Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    There's an AI that can rule Chess too, also Jeopardy. What does that say about your friends and coworkers? Nothing

  21. Cyber attack huh... on International Monetary Fund Hit By Cyber Attack · · Score: 0

    Lets see them blame this one on Anonymous.

  22. Repair man? on Police Say Mac Tech Installed Spyware To Photo Women · · Score: -1, Troll

    For the price of apple products, they should fix themselves.

  23. Does this study count on Average Gamer Is 37 Years Old · · Score: 1

    50 year old women on farmville? Cause I sure don't.

  24. Can I buy you a beer? on Ask Jonathan Coulton About the Transformation From Code Monkey to Internet Star · · Score: 1

    If so, what kind and at what public venue should I drop it off?

  25. That picture on From Austria, the World's Smallest 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    is fantastic.
