  1. Re:WTF on GOP Senators Move To Block FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fuck off and have a circle jerk over a Sarah Palin picture with your dim-witted tea party fag buddies.

    Between this and the possibility of Glenn Beck going blind I am a happy person.

  3. Re:Goatse Posters on The Hell Known As Internet Screening Services · · Score: 1

    It was my phone background for awhile. It stopped people from picking up my phone and playing with it and it was cool to pretend the sound was coming from his ass.

  4. Re:Here's the thing on The Hell Known As Internet Screening Services · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd disagree. Violence is much more acceptable in the US than nudity and there is something wrong with a child that needs to see a head being sawed off to realise people die and violence is bad.

  5. Re:Here's the thing on The Hell Known As Internet Screening Services · · Score: 1

    Part of me agrees with that because there is some truly awful stuff on there. But then I think if you start there then where do you stop? Some religious nuts decide that even something along the lines of Playboy is unnecessary and too accessible to their kids. Maybe they're right and softcore porn should be wiped from the net or parents do their job and we can decide for ourselves if we want to look at something awful.

    I've only been to rotten.com or something like it in my 20ish years on the net. In fact I forgot about it until you mentioned it. I feel just ignoring things you don't want to see works quite well. Now for these people it may not be that easy but I have less sympathy for them since they choose to do that.Anyone who thinks it's just going to be looking at porn to remove clearly hasn't been on the internet for more than week.

  6. Re:Right on on WSJ's Mossberg Calls For a Tougher Broadband Plan · · Score: 1

    Where is Japan and its 1gbps broadband on that list? I call a load of BS and according to this graph the US isn't second.

    http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/Images/commentarynews/broadbandspeedchart.jpg

    According to speed test the US isn't second either and their numbers are probably more accurate.

    Even though north america comes out on top as a continent most asian countries are above it. There are just a lot of poor countries that drag down the average.

  7. Re:Everybody *loves* broadband! on UK Delays National Broadband For Three Years · · Score: 1

    Except for wine will never be necessary and broadband is increasingly necessary and will be a requirement eventually. But hey why sort it out now when we can do it at the last second for the higher cost of rushing it through.

    Because helping silverlight grow is a good way to help kill the web which makes you about as bad as someone who worked on the holocaust.

    Your free speech doesn't count on private property. Remember people also have the right not to hear people sprew crap so you can't jsut go into someone's house and tell them they're going to be raped by a pack of niggers and then claim to burn down their house after they blow you.

    Unless of course you were the star of the awesome Mad Max movies.

  11. What about google apps accounts? on Google Tests Multiple Account Login · · Score: 1

    What I want to do the most is tie my free google account closer to my google app account. Why would I want multiple normal google accounts? But I, like many started off with a normal one and then opened a google apps account and realised there is not good easy way to check both in one place.

    Even now, I made the "mistake" of opening an app engine account with my normal google account. I'm starting to polish off my site and want to use a domain name. So I went to the control panel, click the appropriate button and it tells me to open a google apps account. Yes I can remove app engine fro my normal account and open one for my google apps account but why should I have to?

  12. this pedo sim story is old on Microsoft Shows Off 'Milo' Virtual Human · · Score: 1

    Microsoft doesn't even know what it is doing as they said they weren't going to release the game and then it was Peter who said that Milo was a full game and would be showing it off at TED.

    http://www.next-gen.biz/news/molyneux-milo-is-a-full-game%E2%80%9D

    It seems odd that the director of xbox product management would know whether or not the game would be released. I think MS is afraid of losing Peter and don't want to tell him they think his game sucks and that's where the confusion came from.

    On the plus side they are nice shiny ads unlike anything you have seen before.

    It doesn't help that younger people don't really care about the radio and old people fear new things.

  15. Re:Not a new trick on Hollywood Accounting — How Harry Potter Loses Money · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes but there is demanding a source for something that sounds odd and then there is just being a dork and asking for sources for any claim in hopes they won't do it and thus their comment is deemed invalid and giving yourself some sort of self satisfaction.

  16. Re:Not a new trick on Hollywood Accounting — How Harry Potter Loses Money · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Where have you been? It's been posted on Slashdot and elsewhere numerous time. Requiring a source for every claim is just being anal especially for something so easily verifiable by yourself with a google search.

    Guy: It was a producer, wasn't it?

    Forrest Gump: A producer?

    Guy: That signed you up and fucked you.

    Forrest Gump: Oh, yes sir. Fucked me right in the buttocks. They said it was a million dollar contract, but the studio must keep that money 'cause I still haven't seen a nickel of that million dollars.

    It's not even a new way to do it. It's the second time the unoriginal ass has done this.

  19. It never went away - Epic just sucks on Is PC Gaming Set For a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    The console life cycle is too short for the company that only has its graphics going for it. So now Mark wants to crawl back to PC gaming and expect people to buy their boring games just because it requires the latest video card.

    Sorry but fuck you Mark, I'll stick with Valve and Id.

    No that it is ugly boring and shows pretentiousness and a lack of creativity. Just make sure you go over the site with a fine tooth comb before launching it so you don't upset the saddos.

    Yeah because it was so cryptic. I personally thought it had something to do with Sade then I realise her band comes from London and yet again I was so lost because it wasn't American and she's brown which is highly confusing.

    Yes I do think they can. The fact is they can get the same books that uni students use. They lack thw professor but between the books and internet I don't think it is a big deal.

    The other thing to keep in mind is that it wasn't a serious comment so no need to get sand in your pussy.

    In there Google and their army of PhDs was mentioned as proof that a degree really matters.

    It appears even with a PhD you're still susceptible to making school boy errors. Zoho can make these sorts of errors for much less by hiring kids straight out of high school. :P

  24. Re:How do you decide what's offshored labor? on Intel Co-Founder Calls For Tax On Offshored Labor · · Score: 1

    We also had fewer markets to sell too in the 50's. We now have more but rather using that opportunity to increase our production and profits by selling to others we've opted to raise profits by moving the jobs out of the US. It is hurting the US and will continue to because a nation full of Wal-Mart employees won't ever be great.

  25. Re:How do you decide what's offshored labor? on Intel Co-Founder Calls For Tax On Offshored Labor · · Score: 1

    Considering the gap between the wealthy and poor is continuing to grow and taxes and loopholes are growing for corporations why would it be wrong to try to get things back to the way they were? If one extreme (iron curtain) is bad then surely the other extreme is bad.

    Every company can't flee to another country because it would kill a huge market by leaving everyone with awful Wal-Mart jobs. Who will buy their crap then?

    It's complete bullshit to imply that corporations are some how being screwed. They're not and they're better off than ever before. It's time they start giving back. You can't keep taking out of the pot without putting back in.
