  1. Re:not detained at all... on Senator Rand Paul Detained By the TSA · · Score: 1

    Learn the definition of detain. From Merriam-Webster 3: to restrain especially from proceeding.

  2. Any tablet? on Orangutans To Skype Between Zoos With iPads · · Score: 1

    It is interesting that people attribute these things to the iPad, which is a nice tablet, when Skype has been around a long time, and I run it on my cheapo HP Touchpad all the time.

  3. Don't be evil, not do no evil! on Google Not Reciprocating On IFrame Usage? · · Score: 1

    Stop misquoting. These are hugely different slogans. A non-evil person can do evil, and it does not make him evil.

  4. Re:MIght as well be on Apple's Siri As Revolutionary As the Mac? · · Score: 1

    Actually it is. You have that kind of money and all you can hope is to come up with a good idea and get offered enough money to have it called an Apple product. Those that do not innovate have to make Android, Windows Phone 7, or even WebOS products!

  5. Because the people at the top in the various organizations will not give up anything. It would be a weakness to say that someone else could do it better.

  6. Turn off the lights on CERN Physicist Says Dark Matter May Be an Illusion · · Score: 1

    I think people really created a crazy mysticism over these "dark" matters and energy. I agree with the article, but I do not agree that there is no dark matter. I just think the attributes associated with dark matter were something else, like gravitational polarization. Turn off the lights, is everything glowing? F$#@ing dark matter yo! Space is full of things that do not emit notable amounts of energy. Gas giants are supposedly floating everywhere, not just around stars. Giant asteroids are everywhere. Get a clue!

  7. Breathing makes CO2! on What's the Carbon Footprint of Bicycling? · · Score: 1

    We just need to get everyone to stop breathing, leave that untainted Oxygen in the air, stop putting our evil human carbon on all of it!

  8. Re:It's obvious really. on The Dangers Of Amateur Astronomy In Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    CHA

  9. Re:Holy misinformation, Batman. on Women Arrested For Refusing TSA Search of Children · · Score: 1

    You're wrong. This airport uses milimeter wave scanning, not ionizing radiation. It is the safe and more expensive option. It is referred to EHF, just a bit beyond SHF, which is beyond UHF, which should sound familiar.

  10. Re:Adobe License on RightHaven Lawyer Says Browser Ate His Homework · · Score: 1

    Perhaps not. It is an open standard, you can use it as a user all you want. I haven't used Adobe's software to view PDF files in years. That company's offering is horribly bloated and virus susceptible.

  11. iPhone again? on Apple Sued Over Use of iCloud Name · · Score: 1

    Does no one remember that Cisco owned the trademark for iPhone and Apple stole it without paying for it first?

  12. Re:Trolls. Everywhere. on Cleaner Air Could Speed Global Warming · · Score: 1

    I can answer that about the volcano. It IS the environment, thus it just is what it is. It is not good or bad, it happens without the result of outside interference. Humans seem to not understand that while science is important, observe and test, we try to jump in a throw in the step of "fuck with it" before we have all relevant data.

  13. Re:The terrorists win! on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 1

    Yeah, down with censorship! As I click external links to find them blocked on my US government system.

  14. Re:Better weapons than nukes... on USAF's Robotic X-37B Orbiter Launched For Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah, this is the start of the Caldari Empire.

  15. Re:Come to Verizon! on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1

    I like how you say your activities wouldn't change. I bet as computers got faster you continued to play the old 2D games, and as media got larger you stayed with files no larger than 720kb, and as monitors got bigger you stayed with CGA graphics. I'm sure you wouldn't do more when given greater capacity.

  16. Re:Apple has made Microsoft look "open". on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    The PC has a history of more viruses, but the Mac OSX has far more security vulnerabilities. Security is obtained through obscurity. I am a proud MacBook Pro and iPod Touch owner, but I'm not delusional.

  17. Re:Aliens and Islam on Jordanian Mayor Angry Over "Alien Invasion" Prank · · Score: 1

    It is kind of like the guy who brings up mutiny on a ship. You don't want to be the guy who gets shot asking the wrong guy, loyal to the captain, to turn on him. Sure, the entire ship may feel that way, but who is going to be the first to chance it? Anyway, a lot of dead people have already tried I imagine.

  18. Re:Video on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The people in the apaches had nothing to do with this. They pulled the trigger, but they just point and shoot as ordered. The intel came from someone not in the apaches, and it was likely them who was "on edge and in defensive posture, exposed out in the open".

  19. Redirects a way around this? on Landmark Canadian Hyperlink Case Goes To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    What if you use tinyurl or the like? You're not linking to the site then, you're linking to a link.

  20. Re:Conversely on US District Judge Rules Gene Patents Invalid · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is what they do with genetically modified crops. If your crop gets infected you have to pay.

  21. Re:Yes, it's dying on Is the Line-in Jack On the Verge of Extinction? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you want Miley Cyrus to starve, and Lady Gaga to go naked?

    Yes and yes.

  22. Re:Sequel on Filming For The Hobbit Begins In July · · Score: 1

    Actually being written later, The Hobbit is a prequel to LotR.

  23. Re:USAA has been doing this for years on Deposit Checks To Your Bank By Taking a Photo · · Score: 1

    They don't require a credit card. They require two services, so if you do banking and car insurance for example, that would work.

  24. Re:OS-impaired on Visually Impaired Gamer Sues Sony · · Score: 1

    Quite your wine-ing.

  25. Re:No one should have expected on Legal War For WA State Sunshine Law · · Score: 1

    He specifically said "Two wrongs may not make a right" and "I wouldn't endorse the behavior of the more extreme activists", so your entire post is filled with failure.
