  1. Re:It feels old and already seen on World of Warcraft Finally Loses Subscribers · · Score: 1

    I remember when Rag was considered mathematically impossible to beat.

    "PvE players who "enjoyed" world PvP"

    The quotes are rather important on that statement.

    Deliverators even.

  4. Re:trying to avoid taxes on Paypal Founder Helping Build Artificial Island Nations · · Score: 1

    The developed countries should have been smart enough to charge them upfront before giving them access to the infrastructure.

    Burbclaves, they're the future. As long as we get Delivators it won't be a total loss.

    Ask the US to send the Navy out to rescue you.

  7. Re:I don't get the connection on BART Keeps Cell Service Despite Protests · · Score: 1

    It also makes it easy to move that mass of people to keep them ahead of law enforcement.

  8. Re:Shut it all off! on BART Keeps Cell Service Despite Protests · · Score: 2

    I wonder how the trains communicated with each other and the stations before the cell phone repeaters. There must have been a lot of accidental collisions due to getting off their scheduled times.

  9. Re:Statistics fail on 1 in 8 Take Fake Phone Calls to Avoid Talking to Others · · Score: 1

    Are their lips moving (or fingers in the case of typing)?

  10. Re:YACS*, YMMV, HAND, GTFO on Does Android Violate the GPL? Not So Fast · · Score: 1

    Apple is bad now. Actually, Apple has always been at war with, err, bad. MS (M$ for you cool kids) is still bad.

  11. Re:Final Carbon Footprint on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Freeze yourself in dry ice in a water proof container and have that sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Your carbon will be sequestered.

  12. Re:Stupid slope on BART Disables Cell Service To Disrupt Protests · · Score: 1

    As a soldier he'd know it's his ammo that does the wounding not his aim generally.

    And there's those pesky major arteries in the legs.

    I hear they are coating their slopes with teflon now.

  15. Re:General Purpose Device... on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    Really, who wants to carry a separate device to play mp3s? That won't help your smartphone drain its pathetic battery even faster. If you're not charging your phone all the time then it's not powerful enough, right?

  16. Re:Logic and reason on Technology Blamed For Helping UK Rioters · · Score: 1

    Generally, automatic weapons are military-grade hardware. Despite what the news may tell you, you can't just walk into a gun show and waltz out with a SAW no questions asked.

    The civilian (non-military non-law enforcement) market for automatic weapons is vanishingly small and requires some pretty hefty (FFL) permits and requirements.

    Give a marksman a deer rifle and a high vantage point and then tell me they'll only get a passerby or two.

  17. Re:Link on World's First Cybernetic Athlete To Compete · · Score: 1

    The movie was Blade Runner, the book was Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, I don't recall "Blade Runners" being in the book.

  18. Re:How do they tell? on Verizon Cracks Down On Jailbreak Tethering · · Score: 1

    I never have mod points when I want them and always have them when I'd rather comment. Go /. mod system.

    Anyways, "just because you *can* do something doesn't mean you *should* do that" doesn't pop up here on /. much so I'm always happy to see it when it does.

    For full disclosure, I've only got a flip feature phone which stays at home or in the car as wanted (why bother with crappy cell phone quality when you've got a solid landline); I carry an iPod touch for my ultra mobile media needs and for the times I don't have access to WiFi, I, get this, use the internal storage on the iPod touch. There are times it'd be nice to have a data plan and a smart phone, like getting google maps on the go if I want/need to drastically alter my route, but youtube et al seems like a rather silly use of a somewhat limited resource.

  19. Re:Star Simpson on Science Fair Entry Shuts Down Airport Terminal · · Score: 1

    And then they wonder why they just got a lifetime dose of lead after pointing their super realistic replica pistol with lifelike muzzle flash and sounds at a police officer at night.

    Just because something is "your right" doesn't make it the smart or correct thing to do.

    So in other words, just because someone goes to MIT doesn't mean they are necessarily bright.

    So someone makes a real bomb "look" like a "bomb" and waltzes right through your "security".

    Chaotic Neutral. Chaotic Good or Chaotic Evil would imply an agenda beyond luls.

    People would probably be rather suspicious of the sudden increase of its quality.

    "Once you need a bag to carry something around in, it really does not make much difference if it's a few mm thinner or a few grams lighter."

    Tell that to a backpacker. Let me know if they pass out from laughing or not.
