  1. Re:You people have no patience! on Wikipedia Is Not Amused By Entry For xkcd-Coined Word · · Score: 1

    Ok.

  2. Luna copy on World's First Production Hybrid Motorcycle To Hit Market In India · · Score: 1

    It's actually a copy of another popular light-weight bike in India. The Kinetic Luna. The Luna also has pedals, so that you can ride it like a bicycle when you're out of fuel.

  3. Let them be. on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 1

    They've worked for it, so they have every right to do what they want. If a teacher writes a book and sells it via a big name publisher, it's legit, but if they do it online, it's not? Some of the teachers who taught me had written material that were way better than the books that were recommended for us. If they make a living out of it, why not? Teaching is a low paying job. Might as well make money on the side. But, as the article says, if people are buying preschool lessons, then it's just lazy parents. Do you really need external lessons to teach your kid to be good at preschool?

  4. Brilliant Idea! on Security Flaw Hits VAserv; Head of LxLabs Found Hanged · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why don't you round them up, put identifying badges on them, and then try killing them yourse-
    Oh wait.

    Godwin's law, dammit.

  5. Re:I would rather have DOS on New Denial-of-Service Attacks Threaten Wireless Data Networks · · Score: 1

    That's true. DOS attacks are usually only harmful for the company involved.. ie, if a mobile phone carrier is DOS attacked, the customers will think that the service is just bad, and switch over to another network. But if they get a virus, they'll blame themselves.

  6. Re:It's open source, google. Fork it. on Harsh Words From Google On Linux Development · · Score: 1
  7. International sales on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    This doesn't take into account the international sales.. With international earnings included, Wolverine already seems to have made a profit.
    Star Trek hasn't even been released to International audiences. I think for a movie that's made 72.5m, it'll do quite well..

  8. In other news.. on Unclean Military Hard Drives Sold On eBay · · Score: 5, Funny

    ..the market is being flooded with Chinese made ground to air missile defence systems, available for a quarter of the price, and half the accuracy.
    Fine Print: THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE SYSTEM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW

  9. Re:So? on Microsoft Bans VoIP, Rival Stores At Mobile Market · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    They get fined for bundling their software with their own software, but it's ok for them to simply not allow other company's software on their stuff? Isn't this the same as Microsoft not allowing Firefox on Windows?

  10. Google to the rescue! on Microsoft Bans VoIP, Rival Stores At Mobile Market · · Score: 2, Funny

    *chants* Android! Android! Android! Their motto is "Do No Evil", and I'm very gullible!

  11. Not happening any time soon on Backlash Builds Against US Copyright Blacklist · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One of the reasons these countries are developing a good IT infrastructure is due to software piracy. Any student with the slightest interest can pick up any software whatsoever, be it Tally, Photoshop or MS Excel, and learn by themselves. And businesses obviously have cost benefits in using something for free. Why would a developing economy hamper it's businesses by forcing them to use original software? It might help the bigger companies, the ones who make the software, but will affect the small and medium sized businesses negatively. And in the end, the software companies that do get the benefit are American, and not local businesses.

  12. Rickrolling on Would You Pay For YouTube Videos? · · Score: 2, Funny

    If I get rickrolled, will I get my money back?

  13. Does it ever work? on Merck Created Phony Peer-Review Medical Journal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Has any company ever gotten away with stuff like this in recent times? Doesn't the availability of everything on the Internet ensure that someone somewhere, doing just a little research, will call 'bullshit' when a certain journal/reviewer goes overboard in praising just one company?
