  1. Re:Parrots on The Mathematics of the Lifespan of Species · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows that the good are the first to go and parrots are minions of pure unadulterated evil.

  2. Re:I never liked him but... on Steve Jobs Threatened Palm To Stop Poaching Employees · · Score: 2

    Poaching is something that happens when one is discussing territory

    Or eggs. Personally I prefer my employees fried with a slice of whole wheat bread on the side.

  3. Re:Dangerous Projectiles on Ask Jörg Sprave About Building Dangerous Projectiles · · Score: 1

    ...unless you're on dueling pontoon boats pretending you're re-enacting naval battles...

    I like the way you think.

  4. Re:Cool story on Pakistan Boycotting Call of Duty, Medal of Honor Games · · Score: 2

    I can tell that it's pointless to have a discussion with you until you stop being afraid of your own shadow.
    Good luck with that.

  5. Re:Cool story on Pakistan Boycotting Call of Duty, Medal of Honor Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not a ban, it's a boycott. Turns out that people don't like games where the best the can be is set dressing for the glorification of a violent foreign power when that same power back in the real world indiscriminately sends out robots to bomb the next village on a weekly basis.

  6. Re:Better idea on 'Bankrupt' Australian Surgeon Sues Google For Auto-Complete · · Score: 1

    According to the summary Guy Hingston also bought a private jet plane. And then he went bankrupt. His money would be better spent on classes on financial responsibility.

    My uptime!

  8. Re:Tinfoil Hats? on India Bars ZTE, Huawei, Others From Sensitive Government Projects · · Score: 1

    India does have a lot of "skirmishes" with its neighbors doesn't it?

  9. Re:Tinfoil Hats? on India Bars ZTE, Huawei, Others From Sensitive Government Projects · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Would India want a country it has been at war with rally doing their base to base to capitol optical links?

    You do realize that most countries that do business today have at one time or another been at war with each other?

    That's a pope two emperors and one khan. Not a single king among them.

    I know that Thai is a human or a language but not a land.

  13. Re:Been Done on Meet "Ophelia," Dell's Plan To Reinvent Itself · · Score: 1

    Scroll up. You can get these much cheaper from China and with Bluetooth. Which isn't surprising as Conrad is too expensive with everything.

  14. Re:Ad Hominem on No, Life Has Not Been Found In a Meteorite · · Score: 1

    When you are judging a man's character, ad hominem seems the only way to go, and when a person has proven time and again to be an incompetent scientist and a kook, the chances of him producing valid results by accident are negligible.

  15. Re:EU and US price differences... on Belgian Consumer Organization Sues Apple For Not Respecting Warranty Law · · Score: 1

    10-15% Sales tax? For electronics it's more like 20% sales tax in most EU countries.

  16. Re:In Financial Crisis, No Prosecutions of Top Fig on Nortel Executives Found Not Guilty On Fraud Charges · · Score: 1

    The Occupy movement was like a safety valve, a way for the little guy to blow off steam before the whole thing blows up so the status quo can be maintained, not a movement that proposed realistic plans for reform.

  17. Re:why are people driven to eat too much? on Dean Kamen Invents Stomach Pump For Dieters · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm reading a lot of excuses in your post. It's gut bacteria it's pollution, it's Big Corn, it's stress. I'm not reading anything about taking personal responsibility. Losing weight means running a calorie deficit. This will make you feel bad. The only way to get though that is to get off the notion that you should feel good all the time and volutarily put yourself in a situation where you're hungry and feeling bad. that feeling will pass in a couple of weeks and it will strengthen your willpower.

    It's where overweight geeks flock together dressed as NES controllers.

    Ah the Firefly riots of '03... I must have forgotten about them.

  21. Re:Still no eye tracking? on Hands On With Virtual Reality's Greatest Hope · · Score: 1

    Then again, human stereoscopic vision works best for objects within arm's reach so that will be the situation where 3D displays have the most impact.

  22. Re:Don't be evil on Google Backs Down On Maps Redirect · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They were pretty cool before the IPO, after that their morals have been in a slow downward spiral. Although I wouldn't consider this move evil, just petty and immature.

  24. Re:Printed Books, Brick And Mortor Book Stores on Death of Printed Books May Have Been Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    Oh noes! The Gubmint knows that I'm reading Twilight!

    I really don't see how walking into a public space and buying a book under the gaze of CCTV is more private than getting it off of Amazon or from #bookz on IRC. Besides, if you are afraid that you'll get in trouble for buying a book that is freely available in stores for money then you need to grow a spine.

    Frankly, the only thing I miss about book stores is meeting cute bookish girls.

  25. Re:An e-book is not a book. on Death of Printed Books May Have Been Exaggerated · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Breaking ebook DRM is laughably trivial and getting easier for the non technical user by the day. Use Calibre and third-party DRM plugins to liberate your books as soon as you buy them and you'll never have to worry about it again.
    I use a Kobo epub reader and two thirds of the ebooks I buy are .mobi books made for Kindles.
