  1. Re:buyer should lose on Criminals Steal House Thanks To Hacked Email · · Score: 1

    Actually, the intermediaries and agents are the ones that should identify a fraudulent sale and provide compensation... that's what they're THERE for.

  2. Re:This is a non-story. on Criminals Steal House Thanks To Hacked Email · · Score: 1

    I live in Western Australia... not that that is relevant to my comment... but I feel sorry for the poor bastard that just bought the house and lost money through this scam. Unles the banks cover the loss that is... .BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  3. Re:MilitantAgnosticDancers.org on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    The truth is out there?

  4. Re:Atheist on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    I say that the existence of some involved creator is vanishingly unlikely.

    I prefer the term "approaching infinity".

  5. Re:Atheist on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 1

    Indeed, logic requires a proof... not an absence of one.

  6. Re:Atheist on The Advent of Religious Search Engines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To be fair, most "average" atheists are actually agnostic. This is not a troll, I'm just saying that most people who proclaim atheism actually hold no firm convictions either way.

  7. Re:Umm... on Letting Customers Decide Pricing On Game DLC · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You do realise that Radiohead's experiment granted them more income than if they had released through a RIAA inspired distributor? Even if the bulk of people pay nothing, the average income per copy sold is still higher.

  8. Oh good... on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    It appears that moderators have misunderstood my comments as being a wholesale endorsement of using hydrocarbons to excess... my main point was that consumer usage will drop, thereby potentially STALLING a peak oil crisis. Not avoiding it completely.

  9. Hmmm on Rogue Employees Sell World Cup Fans' Passport Data · · Score: 1

    Sounds like someone ate all the pies.

  10. Peak Oil on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 0

    In the 70's peak oil was avoided (partially) by fuel injection systems replacing comparatively inefficient carburettors. We're now heading down the hybrid path... surely that will have a major impact on consumption and forestall any peak oil crisis.

  11. Re:FUD...? on Rogue Employees Sell World Cup Fans' Passport Data · · Score: 1

    Taking someone's joke a little too seriously there, aren't we?

  12. Kumar? on Film Industry Hires Cyber Hitmen To Take Down Pirates · · Score: 1

    Harold and Kumar go to Pirate Bay?

  13. Stupid or ugnorant on Cybercriminals Create 57,000 Fake Sites Each Week · · Score: 1

    As long as stupid or ignorant people exist, social hacks will work.

  14. Re:Battle.net on Cybercriminals Create 57,000 Fake Sites Each Week · · Score: 1

    The client reports to the server the positioning of the character... fairly easy to hack if you know what you're doing. Seen the "underground hackers" yet, or are you on a low pop server?

  15. Hmmmm on Anti-Product Placement For Negative Branding · · Score: 1

    Ok, so let me get this straight... if I get publicised as being an asshole, I can get free stuff? Reality TV, here I come!

  16. Re:Ha! on Journalist Tricked Captors Into Twitter Access · · Score: 1
    Yes, I find it humorous that some American soldiers don't actually know who Allah is.

    It makes me wonder about all the other parts of the Koran they are unaware of. Ramadan? Muhammad? The battle of Yamama? No wonder they are so willing to fight a war against enemies who have the vast resources of Allah at their disposal. If they knew how disadvantaged they were, maybe they would just stop.

  17. Re:Harold Scruby is a known nut-job on Australia To Fight iPod Use By Pedestrians · · Score: 1

    Just goes to show, the Google algorithm is more accurate than some people give it credit for.

  18. There were some damn fine games in that era... on Breathing New Life Into Old DirectDraw Games · · Score: 4, Insightful

    and we didn't need gimmicks like motion controllers, photo-realistic graphics and high framerates to enjoy them.

  19. Re:Waste on Ryanair's CEO Suggests Eliminating Co-Pilots · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Unfortunately, no. The way things are going... you'll be arrested for being a terrorist.

  20. Eliminating co-pilots? on Ryanair's CEO Suggests Eliminating Co-Pilots · · Score: 1

    I suggest sending them to sleep or maybe browsing Facebook...

  21. I wanted to make a joke out of this... on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 3, Insightful

    but crazy or not, a man died.

  22. Re:FAIL on Flight Data Recorders, Decades Out of Date · · Score: 1

    And how many times has the lack of one caused other planes to crash?.

    I think that's the point... we don't know. Surely even one crash saved makes ANY improvement worth the effort. After all, what price a human life?

  23. Re:khaaan on Bill Gates Enrolls His Kids In Khan Academy · · Score: 1

    Dammit... 8 comments in and somone has already beaten me to the ultimate Star Trek "Mendoza moment". It's a sad world for the /. comedian when all your material gets taken early.

  24. Re:Netflix Called on Possible Treatment For Ebola · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course, there's no military applications to curing cancer.

  25. No video? on Viruses Tapped To Create Spray-On Batteries · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's a pity that there's no video of the process... then it could go *viral*.
