  1. Re:In other words ... on Hackers Breached US Army Servers · · Score: 1

    What exactly did we gain?

    competition in North Korea.

  2. Re:History lesson on Google Tricycles To Map Footpaths For Street View · · Score: 1

    Not much, except for their falsified version of history

  3. Re:As opposed to ... on How Microsoft Degrades Their Users (In a Good Cause) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    the normally degraded experience

    that would be using IE?

  5. Re:A better idea on Twitter Considered Harmful To Swine-Flu Panic · · Score: 1

    Fact that there are o airports does not stop airplanes to "land" there.
    Didn't you know that?

  6. Re:It doesn't matter... on Climate Engineering As US Policy? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I mean it's not like the rest of the world depends upon us to actually get things done.

    It doesn't. That's why several countries did something about climate change (adapting Kyoto convention nine years ago)
    whereas US and China did not. China beacause "we are just developing country, give us a break". US because "papa G.W.Bush does not believe in this greeenhouse effect-shmeffect. BTW do you want to buy some oil form our fields in Texas and Gulf?"

  7. Re:Huh. on South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein · · Score: 1

    I guess terrorists are eager to not-torture American citizens (in American terms).

  8. (Discovery's complaint, PDF) on Amazon Sued Over E-Book DRM Patent · · Score: 1

    (Discovery's complaint, PDF)

    I wonder if it is DRMed....

    you've probably developed Achromatopsia

    Two, really?

  11. Re:This is just stupid. on 3-Man Team Begins Ice-Survey Trek To the North Pole · · Score: 1

    The Top Gear team was able to make it to the north pole in a large Jeep. And they needed way less than 3 months. They had one guy with a dog sled, and two with the Jeep. The dog sled had obviously huge deficits.

    It was Toyota Hilux, not Jeep, you insensitive clod!

  12. Re:I'll save you some time... on 3-Man Team Begins Ice-Survey Trek To the North Pole · · Score: 1

    why they just don't drop the crew to the pole; it would cut time to 1.5 month?

  13. right people on How To Encourage Workers To Suggest Innovation? · · Score: 1

    During my studies I've learned that various cultures encourage or discourage innovation. So the morale is - lay off everyone, employ Japanese. ;)

  14. Re:turn it off? on The Real Risks of Obama's BlackBerry · · Score: 1

    His Blackberry has a portable version of Duke Nukem Forever installed, so you understand he did not want to let the device go.

  15. TFA is crap, 2M not 2K on UK Cinemas Get 3D Projection Rollout · · Score: 1

    2048x1024 is 2M not 2K.
    2K display would be say 64x32 pixels, which is much worse than nokia phones 10 years ago. I bet few people would like to watch movies like that, it would be lovwer res than terminal Star Wars.

    TFA has also other error - that 2048x1024 is "half" (should be quarter) of 4096x2048.

    Yet another article by ignorant.

  16. Re:Second on the drive thing on How To Diagnose a Suddenly Slow Windows Computer? · · Score: 1

    I've had too many HDDs not to know that every manufacturer has had his better and worse series and years. I'd say in early 1990s WD was the best choice; around 2000 - IBM, later Seagate.

    There are some common problems
    In 2001 IBM ahd superb reputation with 15Gb and 20GB drives, until they released 30GB drives that all developed problems after few weeks.
    And now some of you might have Seagate's 500gb bricks ...

    However, if you're out of luck, your drive may fail very quickly even if it comes from the "good series".

  17. no dialogues in pr0n on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    basically this means we will be deprived of all those juicy lines in pr0n movies shot in South Carolina.

  18. Re:Steve Clone on $30B IT Stimulus Will Create Almost 1 Million Jobs · · Score: 1

    I could understand why someone ordered 1 Million of Jango Fett's, but why the hell anyone would need 1 million of Steves?

    Mr Topper (from Dilbert), is that you?

  20. Re:not a surprise on Not All Cores Are Created Equal · · Score: 1

    Back in 2000 or so I helped my friend to install prepared system images to new labs at my university. It was 18 or 20 machines with same specs (same model, same order, same patch, similar serial numbers).

    We've just copied images to hdds. Later, the first boot of each machine after coping image was with network disconnected (as we needed to change SIDs). (Not so much) to my suprise the boot times varied from ~ 1m30s to ~ 2m45s.

  21. Re:Any othetr industry?? neve happened? on Logitech Makes 1 Billionth Mouse · · Score: 1

    I never RTFAs but I'm sure a mouse is quite a bit more complicated than a 1/4 pounder with cheese and a super sized coca-cola.

    how about Le Big Mac? ;)

    Perhaps a month or two living in a communist country would re-align you with the definition of your "rights".
    It's a fucking router. Don't like it, go buy a fucking 54GL and load your own goddamn OS.

    your own goddamn OS would be wrt, which is linux, which is communism.
