    Wait, what clouds?!

    Cumulo-mumbo-jumbo-nimbus clouds maybe?

  2. Smear-campaign on RIAA's Oppenheim Tries To Protect MediaSentry · · Score: 2, Funny

    The RIAA's 'Prince of Darkness,' Washington DC lawyer Matthew Jan Oppenheim of The Oppenheim Group, who controls and supervises all of the RIAA litigations against ordinary folks...

  3. Depends... on IT Job Without a Degree? · · Score: 1

    Sure you can get an IT-related job without a BA or candidate degree. It just wont be the highpaying stuff or private-sector unless you know someone who know someone etc.

    I, for instance, am working temporarily for the danish government in switching from old hardware to new hardware in the different branches (about 4000 machines or so) with a salary of 130 danish kroner an hour (that's about $22 an hour). Not really a brainy job, but relative to the users you get the pleasure of being the local Einstein on call.

    Today we were switching out computers in a mental institution. What saved my day was someone asking me to install Ubuntu on their box off the books. I was paid in coffee and pastry. I do have a BA though, in philosophy.

  6. Re:I'm a huge pirate... on RICO Class Action Against RIAA In Missouri · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now the RIAA can feel how it's like to be hunted by an ambiguous four-letter abbreviation which can't be reasoned with.

  8. Jail-translation on Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading · · Score: 0, Troll

    alleging that he divested himself of stock in mamma.com before the stock was diluted via a public offering.

    Will now turn into:

    shrieking as his digestive-tract was filled with cock and "Daddy's" cum before the cock dilared his ass as it was publicly offered to other inmates

    Ah ok, a bit far-stretch...FETCHED!

    ...a Logitech Trackball instead?

    Sure, it'd be quite useless, but it'd still rock somehow. No?

  10. DNA-philia on Science's Alternative To an Intelligent Creator · · Score: 1

    The latest iteration of string theory provides a natural explanation for the anthropic principle. If there are vast numbers of other universes, all with different properties, at least one of them ought to have the right combination of conditions to bring forth stars, planets, and living things.

    Who says life has to be carbon-based? If other universes allows for different natural-constants, then it's not inconceivable that "life" can be plutonium-based or Higgs-boson-based in these universes, neither does it mean intelligent life needs to be about 6-feet tall walking upright on 2 fleshy appendages, it could be quantum-sized or galaxy-sized (although those monikers would probably hold little meaning in those universes).

    You humans think you're sooo special.

    I'm sure they attempted to force it on every user with iTunes... hardly quiet.

    That's like the evil twin of the anthropic principle. Good one.

  14. The obvious choice on Obama's Impending NASA Decisions · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why spend billions on something that stirs the pot in the majority of your constituency's belief-system when you can spend the same money killing people in far away countries and look like a hero?

    Just layin' it out there...I guess flamebait-mods are incoming...

  15. Re:Paid laziness on US State Sues Web/SEO Firm For Deceiving Mom-and-Pops · · Score: 1

    Difference here being that messing around withh SEO yourself is free and does not involve accidentally damaging yourself if things go wrong. You can edit the content of your site if it doesn't fit with your SEO-expectations, you can't edit your spinalchord once it has snapped by home-surgery.

    Plumbers, mechanics et al do work which is usually required to be done by a licensed professional.

    SEO is childs play, it's legal to do by yourself, it's harmless, and it's reversible. If someone is ready to blow 10 grand on something that can be accomplished and learned in less than a day, free of charge with no risk involved, I feel obliged to say RTFM unless their precious time is worth more.

  16. Paid laziness on US State Sues Web/SEO Firm For Deceiving Mom-and-Pops · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For goodness sake, how hard can it be to optimize a website for a search-engine?

    There are a plethora of howtos out there on SEO, and most, if not all, can be implemented by the people making the webpage.

    Just spend a single day reading up on the stuff and save yourself a bunch. But of course that means learning something new, the HORROR!

    Yeah yeah, I know, my site uses frames, which suck SEO-wise. I know... I'll correct it some day, but I wont pay 10.000 bucks to do so.
