  1. Re:and apples nazi app store censorship is just as on Microsoft Training May Have Helped Tunisian Regime To Spy On Citizens · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah? My god can beat up your god.

  2. Re:God forbid on 'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System · · Score: 1

    That's pretty cool as well, but I doubt 1k people felt the need to crap on it.

  3. God forbid on 'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    God forbid anyone just think it's neat for the sake of doing it. No, everyone has to go on an anti-Microsoft rant. Personally, I think it's kinda cool. I'd never use it for anything, but it's still cool that it was done. Instead of shitting on the developers just be happy they did something outside of the norm.

  4. Re:Up Next... on NYC Mayor Wants Traffic Camera On Every Corner · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because they've never been shown to be wrong.

    Oh, fuck. That's probably why work has been calling me.

    Anonymous runs an ftp server? Aren't they worried about the FBI?

    Don't worry he'll write one.

  9. Re:I don't get the connection on BART Keeps Cell Service Despite Protests · · Score: 1

    Cell phones make it easier to assembly a large mass of people at any given location, because of instance communication (calls, texting, and internet).

    That's a guess, but I think that was probably what they were thinking.

  10. Re:Elevator to nowhere on Space Elevator Conference Prompts Lofty Questions · · Score: 3, Funny

    Fine then! When it's built you can't ride it!

  11. Re:"Rentals" make no sense on GameFly To Jump Into Digital Game Rentals · · Score: 1

    What they will probably end up doing is getting a bulk licensing agreement and only allow X number of rentals at any given time where X is the number licenses they have. They'll also have excessive DRM.

    You're right I misspelled that. Your comment actually made me laugh once I realized my mistake.

  14. Re:Who do you trust? on How Increasing Cloud Reliance Affects IT Jobs · · Score: 0

    I was about to say that. I telecommute for my job and it's not a requirement (duel connections), but I do have 2 connections pulled into my house. If for some reason both fail I can tether my cell phone. The back up connection is actually pretty cheap, because it's the basic plan, but would work if I was in a bind.

  15. Re:About time on Congressmen Pushing To Reopen Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1

    It's not really about people living at Yucca. It's about the citizens saying we don't want it. Even if the fears are unfounded the citizens of the state should be able to say take it else where.

    It's actually about Nevada residences say store your own fucking waste we don't want it.

  17. Re:Like any drug... on World of Warcraft Goes Free With Starter Edition · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm lucky. I play on a small pop server on the ally side which is even smaller. So I guess there's more of a community feel to the game for me. Minus the trolls in /2 it seems like I know alot of the really active people on the server and I got in to a small, but active raiding guild. It's pretty casual, but we still down content. It might not be as fast as some of the high end guilds, but we've managed to go 9/12 so far and starting bwd heroics. If you're ever on Vashj and Ally I'll give you an invite. We try not to be too bossy and tell people how to play their toons, but we do offer pointers. I'm one of the "core" healers and I've even given up my spot for newbies so they have a chance to see content, get better, and get gear. I'll hop in on some of the later bosses that we're not farming.

    The raiding is fine and the mechanics (for most fights) aren't really that hard if you have a competent guild. You're problem was constant pugging.
