  1. And now, over to the speculators. on Leaked Cables Reveal US Thinks Saudi Oil Reserves May Be Overstated · · Score: 1

    Day Trader Speculators: PANIC!

    Average person on the street: Well great, guess we'll be seeing $5/gal gas shortly. Thank you Wikileaks, you could have at least waited until winter was over so I could actually afford to heat my house.

  2. Re:Oblig. pedantry on Un-Bricking Linux Plug Computers · · Score: 2

    They were only literally bricked so they could be easily repaired. Now, if they had been figuratively bricked they'd be literal bricks.

  3. Re:Destruction of evidence on Insider-Trading Suspects Smash Hard Drive Evidence · · Score: 2

    We had Concentration camps during WWII, but I'd be interested in seeing the sources for Extermination camps during that period.

  4. Re:Weird on Activision Axes Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    It's probably mostly the source music but after taking a long break from GH|RB and then picking up RB:Beatles and then later going back to GH (2 starting to show signs, Jordan, I'm looking at you, though thankfully an 'optional' track and there just for the challenge so it is ok, and in full effect in 3 even in the main tracks) the lack of fret wankery in RB:Beatles is very evident.

  5. Re:What do you mean? on Vatican Bans IOS Confession App · · Score: 1

    And fork the Futhark?

  6. Re:That is all fine and dandy... on Activision Axes Guitar Hero · · Score: 1

    Will that be a psychobilly freakout?

  7. Re:Rumors on iPad 2 Rumored to be in Production · · Score: 1

    My money is on Dell. Apple pays their section of Foxconn workers extra to not commit suicide.

  8. If FOSS is about freedom on The Relationship Between FOSS and Democracy · · Score: -1, Troll

    If FOSS is about freedom why do they use the GPL?

  9. Re:Cutting into Sales on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack · · Score: 1

    "Sony should be embracing the Other OS crowd and giving us more options to use the platform for high end computing."

    I'm sure you'd pay the unsubsidized-by-games cost of the hardware for that, right?

  10. Re:Is it me on Wikileaks' Assange Begins Extradition Battle · · Score: 1

    Be sure to catch "How I Avoided Extradition" on newly rebranded "The WL".

    Now with more hype, more editing, and more spin! We've taken the best of the Sci-Fi to Syfy transition and applied it to your favorite leaks!

  11. Re:with enough chances, all coincidences are shall on EA Simulation Correctly Picked Super Bowl Champs in September · · Score: 1

    This is like all the "momtuition" crap on CNN. CNN only reports the successful cases of mom using her mom-sense to "know" that the doctors are wrong and by luck is. They don't report the bulk of the cases where mom is wrong (with possibly fatal results) and the doctors were right.

  12. Re:Why do we need to care about a gender gap? on Wikipedia Works To Close Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    From my experience I would change that sometimes to usually. Sure the men's room might have some piss on the floor but men would at least sit on the toilet when taking a dump. The bowl might be disgusting but it wasn't on the walls or the floor.

  13. Re:iPad makes zero sense on NFL Teams Considering IPads To Replace Playbooks · · Score: 1

    Who needs color anyways?

  14. Re:Obligatory Skynet reference on DoD Leads In Federal Open Source Usage · · Score: 2

    The terminators would have been busy too debating GPL v2 vs. GPL v3 (when they all weren't yelling at the one BSD proponent to shut up) to get around to wiping out humanity, although I suppose you could count humanity's mass suicide to escape the inanity of it all as the machines' doing.

  15. Re:"Assets" == "Intellectual Property" on Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    Why is it not wrong to redistribute the copyrighted assets? Because the assets aren't protected by the holy word of RMS [blessed be his beard], the GPL. In /. land, GPL is the truth and the whole of the truth and RMS [bbhb] its prophet.

  16. Re:Misplaced on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 0

    Ahh creative accounting, how I loathe thee. It's still a 30% tax, not a 43% percent tax. You can make it sound worse by using the 43%, while being the best kind of correct, is disingenuous.

  17. Re:Cheers for Egyptians Everywhere! on Egypt Coming Back On the 'net · · Score: 1

    Just how many sock puppet accounts do you have commodore64_love? Are you (the new) Westlake?

  18. Re:A nonstory on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    That seems to be Wikileaks' plan. Between covering diplomatic gossip and going for the best editing awards they don't have time for illegal atrocities.

  19. Re:A nonstory on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Person 1: Why did you shoot your dog?
    Person 2: Someone was bitten by a rabid dog.
    1: The rabid dog was in another city, that was your pet.
    2: Well, at least I did something about the rabid dog problem.

    Sometimes doing something isn't better than doing nothing.

  20. Re:Century on WikiLeaks Nominated For 2011 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Who's getting nominated now?

  21. Re:Misplaced on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    Oh so clever, changing from the 30% to the 43% to make it seem worse. Were you an Enron accountant by chance?

  22. Re:anyone stupid enough.... on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    Stanza/Calibre for ebooks, any of the million webDAV apps for anything.

  23. Re:anyone stupid enough.... on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    iOS can do that as well, so what point where you trying to make?

  24. Re:Cheers for Egyptians Everywhere! on Egypt Coming Back On the 'net · · Score: 1

    Fondled != frisked.

    (Also, you forgot a "think of the children". Every rant like yours needs a "think of the children" to be truly effective.)

  25. Re:Hang On. on FBI Set To Turn Up Advanced Security Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't a search engine that only turned up rape cases be a bit too limited in scope for the FBI?
