  1. Re:So long and thanks on Company to Send DBA into Space · · Score: 1

    EPIC WIN. that is all.

  2. Re:Hey, worked for Napster on The Pirate Bay Founders Go Legit With BayFiles · · Score: 1

    Thank you for that laugh :)

  3. Re:Switching from Google on Why Google Needs Firefox · · Score: 1

    True. I guess if we were talking about IE users they might not know how to change those settings, but that type probably wouldn't care anyway.

  4. Switching from Google on Why Google Needs Firefox · · Score: 1

    If Mozilla moves away from using Google as its primary search engine, I see a lot of pissed off users who don't want to deal with another search engine switching to a different browser.

  5. Re:In other news... on Fake Names On Social Networks, a Fake Problem · · Score: 0

    +1 Awesome

  6. Re:Don't sign it on RIAA Math: Sell 1 Million Albums, Still Owe $500k · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but many times these bands are just so ready to sign to a major label, they'll sign whatever heaps of fine print the label puts in front of them. Do you always read through everything you sign?

  7. Re:five years for 10 viewings? on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    Truth spoken. It's a shame our country has come to this.

  8. Re:five years for 10 viewings? on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but capitalism is not the issue. The corporations could not wield this kind of threatening power on their own. It's the government pussying out and bending over for big corp lobbyists that's the real issue. No government capitulation, no problem.

  9. Re:Almost Thursday on Happy Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    This is probably because you don't have your towel. If you had it, people would automatically assume you were a very prepared and put-together guy, and would be willing to help you out with anything you needed.

  10. Re:Intergalactic Towel Day Ambassador for Earth. on Happy Towel Day! · · Score: 1

    Wowbagger the Indefinitely Prolonged seems like the worst possible character to attract attention away from anything..

  11. Re:Macs will be a closed platform in the end on Apple To Distribute OS X Lion via the Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    We may have the choice now, but as much as I hate to say it, I have to agree that this looks like more of a transition than an expansion of options.

  12. Re:Well... on NASA Worker Falls To His Death On Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    +1 Funny

  13. Re:Well... on NASA Worker Falls To His Death On Launch Pad · · Score: 1

    Somehow I doubt he reached terminal velocity in the what.. 100 feet from the launch pad?

  14. Too little power. on DIY Laser Pistol Shoot 1MW Blasts · · Score: 1

    Until this thing can put out 1.21 jiggawatts of electricity, it's of no use to me and my purposes.

  15. Re:Who wants to update?? on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Will Block Atom Processors · · Score: 1

    They do under the DMCA.

  16. Re:Who wants to update?? on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Will Block Atom Processors · · Score: 1

    On the contrary, according to the DMCA, Apple has full legal control over what hardware OS X can be installed on, and any attempt to bypass those access controls is a crime. I'm not saying I think the law is a good thing, but, for now, it is the law.

  17. thats a lot of spare cash.. on Facebook Vs. Spammers, Round Two · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At some point, these lawsuits have to just not even matter to these guys. "Well, we're already in the hole for $1.2 billion, what's another $200 million? It's not like we actually have all this money anyway..." Kind of like someone who is put in prison with 150 life sentences. Really? What's the point?

  18. DUH on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 1

    Saying that a distribution of Windows is going to come in an array of different versions is like saying the sky is blue; it's about as obvious as things get.

  19. Re:Minty Fresh! on The Secret Lives of Ubuntu and Debian Users · · Score: 1

    Well, I did go through trying a number of distros to find the one I liked best (ubuntu, debian, slackware, etc.)

  20. Minty Fresh! on The Secret Lives of Ubuntu and Debian Users · · Score: 1

    I, personally, use Linux Mint, an offshoot of Ubuntu, but far better equipped than its parent. I, a proclaimed newbie, think Mint is the winner in the battle for user-friendly systems.

  21. Re:FIRST vs. First on FIRST Robotics Competition Announced · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It gets better: another high school robotics competition is the BEST Competition (Boosting Engineering Science and Technology)

  22. Re:Apple Blacklisted on Will People Really Boycott Apple Over DRM? · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's as much an Apple problem as it is a Linux problem. Don't get me wrong- I support and have computers that run Linux- but it is known to have hardware compatibility issues with many devices, many of them not from Apple.

  23. Re:Not a deal breaker... on Apple's New MacBooks Have Built-In Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Thats probably one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Just because its the best doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. What if the makers of the Ford Model T said, "Well, this is the best car out there! Our work is done here!"
