  1. Common sense says... on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... don't leave them in public view to begin with?

  2. Re:Our tax dollars reducing their cost of business on DHS Seized Domains Based On Bad Evidence · · Score: 1

    A private police force with public funding...quite a racket they've got going there.

    Staffed by students, so they're keeping operating costs at a minimum, too.

  3. Fast forward a few years... on Microsoft Puts the Kibosh On Kinect Sex Game Plans · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty certain that Edison, had he been aware of plans to produce pornographic moving picture shows, would have stated that there would never be such movies produced on HIS technology. So it's only a matter of weeks before Kinect porn makes it to market somehow.

  4. obligatory Simpsons on Swiss Bank Has 43-Page Dress Code · · Score: 1

    "A professional in a gorilla mask is still a professional."

  5. Re:A culture of fear on Make Your Own DHS Threat Level Display At Home · · Score: 1

    But if you DON'T keep your population in a constant state of fear of an imaginary threat, they'll start paying attention to the economy, poverty and public epidemics of AIDS. Or worse yet, start having original thoughts that aren't government approved!!!

  6. UN cannot control anything on Vint Cerf, US Congresswoman Oppose Net Regulation · · Score: 1

    What are they going to do? Send blue helmet troops to Google and hand over relief goods to Yahoo for a few years? Come on, they're little more than ineffectual Nerf saber rattlers.

  7. Re:Oh wow. on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    It was only a matter of time until the old "Michaelangelo's David is porn!" chestnut got taken out of storage and dusted off again...

  8. A landmark for music lawsuits? on Judge Ends Massive Porn Lawsuit · · Score: 2

    Perhaps this may end the RIAA's offense of suing hundreds of people at once?

  9. Anonymous stands ready on UN Considering Control of the Internet · · Score: 1

    These people seem to forget that the more you fight against freedom of information, the harder information (and those seeking to protect it) will push back in return. The internet is powered by the Barbra Streisand Effect.

  10. Re:Braindead Hollywood on Why Video Game Movie Adaptations Need New Respect · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I'm less worried about the third movie not being green lit after two successful ones. It's a far more likely scenario of the first one being a massive stinkbomb that dooms the whole project from day one.

  11. Braindead Hollywood on Why Video Game Movie Adaptations Need New Respect · · Score: 1

    from TFA:

    However, judging from the synopsis currently on IMDB, the story looks set to take place during the First Contact War – events that transpire prior to those of the game itself. Fans of the series will know that this is an integral part of Mass Effect mythology, but once again, this has me pounding my head into my desk. Mythologically significant or not, The First Contact War has no direct connection to the events of the game. Once again, Hollywood seems to think it knows better. With a trilogy outline so clearly established in the first game, and with Hollywood apparently envisaging Mass Effect as a movie trilogy, this change to telling a story that pre-dates the first game’s storyline is completely nonsensical.

    Once more proving that Hollywood executives, in thinking that they know better than celebrated videogame creators and millions of die-hard fans, apply their reverse-Midas touch to yet another solid gold idea to turn it into worthless, poisonous lead.

  12. Re:Autotuned reply to follow shortly on RIAA Now Blames Journalists For Its Piracy Trouble · · Score: 1

    Consumurderism indeed.

  13. Caiman islands anyone? on US Government Seizes Torrent Search Engine Domain · · Score: 1

    Expect all domain name providers to move there REAL soon.

  14. The force is strong in this one on Thought-Controlled Apps On Android May Not Be Far · · Score: 1

    If you believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

  15. Re:Autotuned reply to follow shortly on RIAA Now Blames Journalists For Its Piracy Trouble · · Score: 1

    Milk a singer, milk a stranger, it's all good as long as they bleed money.

  16. New development on Hong Kong Team Stores 90GB of Data In 1g of Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Due to recent discoveries in data storage, encryption and data security issues will henceforth be handled by the CDC.

  17. Re:Autotuned reply to follow shortly on RIAA Now Blames Journalists For Its Piracy Trouble · · Score: 1

    You may be confused about which type of singer really needs the RIAA and which doesn't.

    The RIAA doesn't seem to know the difference either.

  18. Inevitability on Homeland Security Drops Color-Coded Terror Alerts · · Score: 1

    It's hard to feel a sense of emergency when the threat level has been stuck on the same level for years.

  19. Re:What a coincidence! on Facebook To Own the Word "Face" · · Score: 1

    Do you also own uranium mining rights in the atlantic ocean? Because you'd have a better chance of making any money there.

  20. This. on Facebook To Own the Word "Face" · · Score: 1

    Face Face Face Face FACE!!! Sue me now, Zuckerberg.

  21. Autotuned reply to follow shortly on RIAA Now Blames Journalists For Its Piracy Trouble · · Score: 1

    Magazines that talk about P2P softwares don't encourage me to steal music. Talentless hacks who can't sing without heavy autotuning encourage me to give the RIAA the finger and steal music.

  22. Re:Is it really so bad? on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    Just look at the gradual movement of people leaving church benches empty... it's already begun.

  23. Re:It's worse than 3 minutes at 30,000 (A lot wors on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    I don't want to know how how big the fire column would be for a 3.3 million match lighting experiment

    Mythbusters lit a drumcan with a million match heads in it, resulting in a column going over fifty feet tall. It's safe to assume three times as much would go well above that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poV6lc2b070

  24. Re:Interfering on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 1

    In the South Park movie, Kyle's mom is so concerned about not exposing the children to bad language at any cost that their actions escalate into a war with Canada. Why has no one noticed that this has already happened, multiple times, with non-Canada countries?

  25. Why stop there? on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 0, Troll

    The united states will clearly never be secured as long as there are people living there. Let's just deport EVERYONE back to the other countries, and the land of the free will be safe once it becomes the land of free space!
