  1. That would be nice but... on Amazon Patents Bad Gift Protection · · Score: 1

    All of the bad gift givers for me rarely shop on Amazon or on the internet at all. This might work if every single person who bought me stuff did it through Amazon. If they did not, it would be an odd thing to ask people to do, "Uh, yeah, your presents suck. Can you order it through Amazon so that I can auto-return it before I even get it?"

  2. Internet Meme's on Digital Archaeology Show Reveals 'Lost' Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Does this also mean they are going to scour around the early days of /b/? That is a little scary

    Actually this is doing me a great deal of good since I know my contact information will not be floating on facebook from g-mail users

  4. Description makes the guy sound like a magician on T-Mobile G2 'Permaroot' Achieved · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is not off topic as it is awesome that he was able to do that, but come on, no need for the magician introduction on him, "Now introducing, the wonderful, spectaculor, super genius the Amazing Houdini". What ever happened to just giving us the facts and letting us determine how awesome it is?

  5. Re:Hunger Strike? on Chinese Ad Resellers On Anti-Google Hunger Strike · · Score: 1

    What kind of greivers? I have been to funerals where the Mom was crying, wigging out, looking up shouting at God asking him why. That might be awesome if I could hire somebody for that.

  6. Re:Oh common.. on Real-Life Gadgets For Real-Life Superheroes · · Score: 1

    It is very common down here. I have been saved thrice from Super Jupiter Man and twice from Mystery Meat. There are super villains and stuff everywhere down here. You would be surprised, it is like a giant comic book down here

  7. Re:really? on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 1

    With the new technology out, you can pee on a thumb drive looking thing during your match and you can also know whether you have an STD or not. I guess if you are in a pissing match, it would probably be nice to know if you had a std beforehand

  8. Re:It's NORML to own a grow lamp on Net Pioneers Say Open Internet Should Be Separate · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Uh, I have no idea if this is still on topic and now my head hurts (analog: the copius amounts of throttling on the internet means that the free internet is signed by some of the big people of the internet and that rthe square root of 81 is 9 and ben and jerry's ice cream is awesome). How close was I?

    AOL is still around outside of AIM? And they have enough money to buy another company?

    Wait, what were we talking about again?

  14. Easily swappable parts on Bloom Laptop Designed For Easy Disassembly · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If the price is right, this may have double use. I know that one issue with me personally not owning laptops is that when they break, it sucks really bad to do some of the repairs/replace parts. If a laptop is brought to mass market with easy to disassemble parts, maybe we can get lucky and get more 3rd party support for swapping out pieces

    But if newspapers said stuff like that, I would read them everyday, and go to the continued stories. I do not think 'Free Boobies' is opinion though, it is a want and a necessity.

  17. Overclocking? on Scientists Overclock People's Brains · · Score: 1

  19. It is unfortunate, but it is a crime on Jammie Thomas Hit With $1.5 Million Verdict · · Score: 1

    More than likely I will get hit as flamebait or a troll for this, but I do need to play devil's advocate for some of this.

    Downloading and distributing music is illegal. We all know why the amount is so high. It is to make an example of this person. For somebody that only downloaded 24 songs and they need to pay 1.5 mil. That is insane.

    Is it also insane that if a person gets busted with less than one ounce of marijuana, that they lose all college funding (unless they do it through a bank immediately) for a full year (High Education Act - 1998)?

    We live in a time where it is very normal to just pirate what you want. Pirating has left the realm of just us using it (you know, the type of people who read /.) to random teenagers wanting the new Hannah Montana album. Even if the music industry is not losing money and even if the RIAA is crap, pirating is out of hand. Us nerds made it too easy for normal people to pirate (I guess the story of my life).

    If examples are made of them, they will eventually slow down. Of course, there is no way to stop the true pirates, but to get the people who want the new Hannah Montana album to not download, then pirating will get back to how it used to be. It was something that the nerds did.

    If you know you are committing a crime and get busted, I think it is rather dumb to wig out when you are made an example of. Of course the people that are getting busted right now will be made an example. I can tell you this, that person is not going to download anymore songs for comitting that crime.

  20. Are those the only times? on Facebook Knows When You'll Get Dumped · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the number of people are that break up right before V-Day so that they don't have to buy their gf anything

  21. Re:I read slashdot on Facebook Knows When You'll Get Dumped · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Programming is easier. It is very logical. If something does not work properly, while sometimes the issue might not be clear to me, but once I know exactly what the problem is (like a bug), I can directly fix it on the spot. For a girl, if you have an issue like you love playing Halo for 4 hours a day, even if you fix that, most girls will stay mad even after the issue is fixed. With a computer, I have 100% control of what I want to happen and how it will happen.

    Girls take too long

  22. Re:So they sell it, make a buck, then take it? on Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Wait, a refund on the phone or the app? If my phone explodes, I would be pissed if Microsoft offered me 0.99 to refund the app I paid for that made that happen
