  1. Re:is this really a "scam"? on Scammers Use Harvard Education Platform to Promote Pirated Movies (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook was rife with these on all the big pages up until recently. It's better lately, probably filters finally cleaning them up.

  2. Re:Scammers always looking for a target on Make a Date With Fraud · · Score: 1

    1/70? Ouch.

    Call it hindsight but maybe you should've been more selective in who to contact. You may have been writing to all the wrong people who have nothing in common with you.

    Good luck for the future.

  3. Re:Original iPads Work Well ... on iPad Fever Is Officially Cooling · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they'd love it if all their products only worked for X length of time - then upgrade time!

    That must be the goal of every company pushing new goods.

  4. Re:No high speed Internet? on Are DVDs Inconvenient On Purpose? · · Score: 1

    Fast internet isn't available everywhere [and certainly not here affordably in NZ].

    The slow and expensive internet is probably one of the big reasons why streaming content is still slow on the uptake here.

  5. You only need to look at the comments on Facebook Estimates Around 10% of Accounts Are Fake · · Score: 1

    Half of all comments on any given status by a celebrity or famous page will be "I work from home and make millions!"

  6. That's sad on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I always find it difficult to understand the mentality of those cheering and saying good riddance that a long time business [even former giants of the industry] has failed.

    Hey, it could be your workplace next.

  7. About the worst thing to be shared online on Facebook Lets Beheading Clips Return To Its Site · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just imagine this posted on your timeline:

    "Hey dude, I just saw this guy get his head lopped off and I totally thought of you!"

  8. Re:Poignant on Everything You Needed To Know About the Internet In May, 1994 · · Score: 1

    19 years later and people still haven't learnt that!

  9. Re:Like with everything else, moderation on Toronto Family Bans All Technology In Their Home Made After 1986 · · Score: 1

    That's very true - But this really is the extreme end of things, at least in a modern first world country.

    Many developing parts of the world have varying degrees of technology limited [and almost always not by choice but by circumstance].

  10. Re:Good news everyone! on Futurama Cancelled (Again) · · Score: 1

    I'm going to have to disagree. I thought they were quite good, not excellent but still fine examples of animated comedy.

    Especially Bender's Big Score.

  11. Re:On TV now on Explosions at the Boston Marathon · · Score: 1

    I was thinking Aqua Teen too! That was only a few years ago, quite the misunderstanding. This is much much more serious.

  12. Re:First No! on Disney Closes LucasArts · · Score: 2

    Nice impression of Darth.

    I also would've accepted "do not want!".

  13. No giant rats? on Fukushima Cooling Knocked Offline By... a Rat · · Score: 2

    And here I am thinking all radiation makes stuff grow really big, really fast.

  14. Re:Seperation of classes on Plans Unveiled For Full Scale Replica of the Titanic · · Score: 1

    Only Cunard has any remaining trace of the class system [and even then it isn't segregation].

  15. Re:PC games on China Reviewing Game Consoles Ban · · Score: 1

    Everyone likes to complain about Japanese games not getting exported [no export for you!].

    But there are probably countless of Chinese games - of varying quality - not being localised elsewhere.

  16. Re:Settle? Bad analogy on The Problem With Internet Dating's Frictionless Market · · Score: 1

    Most art you just observe at a distance, not interact with.

    If you just observed women, you'd be quite the stalker!

  17. Re:Good on Tolkien Estate Sues Over Lord of the Rings Slot Machines · · Score: 1

    I'm not against gambling per se, but slots are the most house friendly form of gambling that can possibly exist. Which is why casino space is more slot space now more than ever.

  18. Re:How long before... on World's First 3D Printing Photo Booth · · Score: 2

    It's Japan! They already have a majority holding on creepy figurines.

  19. Re:This is actually cool... on Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand · · Score: 2

    Uh, no. I'd rather have him for Prime Minister than whatever clown we've got in office now.

  20. Re:RIP Psygnosis on Sony Closes WipEout Developer Studio Liverpool · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Colony Wars, and its 2 sequals!

  21. Re:uncanny valley? on How Much Detail Is Too Much For Games? · · Score: 2

    If I see a toilet, I should be able to use it!

    Now that's interaction!

  22. FB market oversaturated on Facebook Loses Users, Satisfaction Higher at Google+ · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There are only so many people in the world who are interested in social networks; it's impossible to attain infinite growth.

    Besides, a lot of folks at some point wake up to how much time they spend on FB and the like [a lot!].

  23. Re:first knee on Seth MacFarlane Helps LOC Acquire Carl Sagan Papers · · Score: 1

    Actually, I already knew about the age of the universe then.

    But I did learn that rednecks love Mountain Dew!

  24. Re:welcome to civilization on Australian Gamers Finally Get an R-18+ Category · · Score: 1

    Little too late for all the games which got refused classification in Aus, and consequently weren't released here in NZ!

  25. Re:What a surprise! on The Digital Differences In Americans · · Score: 1

    Just another good reason why, internet or not, you should continue to frequent your local library!
