  1. Re:They'll get their way on UK Email Retention Plan Technically Flawed · · Score: 1

    While not every old person is the same (duh) to pretend the typical Daily Mail reader isn't a ageing, drooling mongoloid is just silly.

    All old people complain about the government and, in fact, a lot of old people will complain about anything actually.

    But since old people, by far, vote more than the youth and evil immigrants can't vote then they can't blame their favourite scap goats. They're the only ones to blame.

    In fact most things that are wrong with the world can be traced back to older generations. The youth does no run corporations, most people in government are from older generations and even that horrible new pop music they hate and reality TV are run by older people behind the scenes wanting to make a load of cash.

    So quite frankly I wish old people would just shut the hell up about how bad the world is and how it's everyone's fault but theirs.

    It just goes to show how good we have life in the west because these people don't have real complaints like not being able to feed themselves or not having housing.

  2. They'll get their way on UK Email Retention Plan Technically Flawed · · Score: 1, Troll

    The elderly population is growing in Britain. This large group is full of fear-filled ignorant and backwards people.

    Despite being alive either in or around WWII or during the 60's when they were all for love and peace, these people are happy to turn the UK into a Nazi state so long as it keeps the coloured people out and criminalises young people just for being born.

    Yeah like any women actually post here.

  4. Well duh on Google Researchers Warn of Automated Social Info Sharing · · Score: 1

    I never use my real name or location, etc for "fun" things. I know a lot of people are backwards and don't think about (or care about) personal freedom outside of work so you gotta do things like that.

  5. No surprise here on Abused IT Workers Ready To Quit · · Score: 1

    Small to medium sized businesses probably don't want to spend the money required for a decent IT department.

    Most other departments won't respect the IT department because they're all dorks and geeks.

    It is like the janitorial staff in the eyes of many. They don't produce anything they support the "real" innovators and money makers.

    This is why I'd like to eventually move into a completely tech related company (in gaming ideally) so there are less of those types and more tech people.

  6. Forget Greasemonkey... on Google Releases Chrome 2.0 Pre-Beta · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Gimme Firebug....or perhaps that should be ChromeBug.

    This is a great moment. For a second their I thought their monopoly was in trouble.

    Kumo was his spastic drooling brother.

  10. Any other way to acquire these podcasts? on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    I've tried searching for some torrents and nothing is coming up. I'd like to get this podcast set so if anyone can hook me up I give blow jobs like a hooker with no teeth. :P

  11. Re:Peace and love and the most overrated band ever on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    The Beach Boys got their talent out of a cereal box.

  12. Re:Peace and love and the most overrated band ever on Attempt To "Digitalize" Beatles Goes Sour · · Score: 1

    You're right that the remain people are complete tools but the Beatles music was beyond exceptional.

    There's no reason to hate on Lennon's talent just because he married a greedy woman or because Paul is being the tit he always was.

  13. The keys look awful on Asus Reveals the Eee Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I love my EEE but the worst thing about it is the keyboard for the shape, size and layout of the key board. It looks like they're trying to bring that to the desktop. They can take it back too.

  14. Re:I'm going to request mine on A Peek At DHS's Files On You · · Score: 1

    Well seeing how I didn't leave the US due to repression that's probably not my biggest worry.

  15. I'm going to request mine on A Peek At DHS's Files On You · · Score: 1

    I'd be interesting to see what it says since I've moved to the UK. I'll do it after my citizenship to see if that makes it on there.

  16. Re:Battery?! on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    The video, had you watched it, shows screws on the bottom so I suspect there will be no prying involved.

  17. They're making laptops so you can't upgrade it on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    This is an outrage. There is no way I'll take their "innovation". I'll stick with my old trusty PC laptop which is totally open so I can upgrade the memory, processor, video card, sound card, network card...you make it, PC laptops are totally open.

    In fact I'm adding in 3 hard-drives, of my choice, and a new RAID card, of my choice.

    Leave it to Apple to lock down laptops and tie people into using hardware chosen by The Man!

    I remove mine every other minute just in case. The downside being it needs to be plugged in at all times.

    Those pictures are fake just like all the fake dinosaur bones that scientists stuck in the ground.

  20. Re:Battery?! on Apple Intros 17" Unibody MBP, DRM-Free iTunes · · Score: 1

    What's on the other side of the battery hole and could that space be saved?

    What's the life of that battery vs the Apple battery?

    Sure Apple talks some real good marketing shit but it is a bit silly to think that a removable battery would take up the same amount of space as one within the system.

    I personally think heat will be a problem but Mac users don't own old Macs so this only has to last until next year. Clearly you don't know how to be a trend whore. ;)

  21. I can be paranoid too... on Are My Ideas Being Stolen? If So, What Then? · · Score: 1

    Some code I'll write at home in my own time without requesting time off or over time pay and that way I consider it mine.

    Perhaps my plan isn't 100% full proof but then again I haven't reinvented the wheel yet either so I don't see myself getting into a huge legal battle over my ways.

    The article says it's mainly MSN people. Seeing how MSN is one of the worst parts of the internet this is no surprise. I mean surely the people aren't doing any work anyway. It doesn't take much effort to make one of the worst sites on the internet.
