  1. Re:You mean they aren't??? on Apple Negotiates For Unlimited iTunes Downloads · · Score: 1

    I must admit that I've bought (and downloaded free) apps from the App Store and had to re-download them later for free (due to reseting the hardware). On three iPod Touches connected to the same iTunes account. I just assumed that music tracks were like that, too (never bought one from ITMS). If this gets implemented, then it's a positive step forward.

    Who has too much time now!

    Yes, yes he does. But then, he is a Time Lord.

  3. Re:It's lacking the most basic cognitive functions on Meet NELL, the Computer That Learns From the Net · · Score: 1

    "This makes NELL more of a rumour mill than a trusted source and once NELL changes a fact to a belief, it stays a belief. _It cannot unlearn stuff_."

    IOW...what NELL has seen cannot be unseen.

    Worst. Haiku. Evar.

  5. Zuse on Gang Arrested For Stealing Millions Using ZeuS · · Score: 1

    I thought this was going to be about some hardcore steampunk cyber-criminals, until I discovered it was spelt the wrong way.

    The contraction "whsh" sounds a lot like "Whoooooosh".

  8. Re:ahh, the "singularity"... on Ray Kurzweil Does Not Understand the Brain · · Score: 1

    Oh, yeah...explain the platypus, then.

    It's a semi-aquatic, egg-laying mammal of action!

  9. Re:Oh no he didn't! on Boy Builds Wall-Climbing Machine Using Recycled Vacuums · · Score: 1

    After recycling some vacuums, he's going to start recycling the holes in the road. Then he'll know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

  11. Re:Lemmings on 36-Hour Lemmings Port Gets Sony Cease and Desist · · Score: 1

    And doesn't the appstore on Apple force payment? Or have they allowed for free apps to be uploaded?

    There are a bazillion free apps in the Apple AppStore.

  12. You know I hate to ask..... on Need a Friend? Rent One Online · · Score: 1

    ....but are 'friends' electric?

  13. Re:What is the point? on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They will go register youporn.xxx so they have their name protected, and one will redirect to the other.

    But if the .com address always redirects to the .xxx address, then firewalls could be easily configured to disallow all .xxx domains.

    I guess that's one possible plus point.

  14. Re:So... on YouTube Gets a Vuvuzela Button (Seriously) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Manchester Untied owe the banks around £2.2 Billion (a million million, not a US thousand million).

    That's just plain silly. It's the US-style billions (10^9) that Man U owe. Nobody in Britain uses the word "billion" to mean 10^12 these days.

  16. Games Industry gets their pound of flesh. on At Google, You're Old and Gray At 40 · · Score: 1

    Very good observation - sorry I don't have any mod points. The games industry exploits these factors to the max, hence the phenomenon of "EA Wives" and "Rockstar Wives".
