  1. Re:No thanks. on Google Drive Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Why does it have to be extremes one way or another? Surely there is some grey area?

  2. Re:No thanks. on Google Drive Goes Live · · Score: 4, Informative

    I will still be able to sleep at night knowing that evil Google has my collection of Warhammer 40k army lists and Dungeons and Dragons character backstories.

    If we all do this, maybe then Games Workshop will realize that there's more to 40k than Space Marines and Hasbro will finally get the hint that we all hated 4th edition and think Drizzt can suck the business end of a crossbow.

    Just to clarify: I like my privacy, but I understand when my privacy stops being just that; Anything I do not wish to become public I do not make as such.

    +1 chilling.

  4. I should have submitted this too... on Power-Saving Web Pages: Real Or Myth? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Except I would have said

    "Are not dark webdesigns an energy unsaving alternative to a snow white Google? The theory is that websites with black backgrounds don't save energy, based not on the assumption that a monitor requires more power to display a white screen than black. Is not this not a earnest endeavor by Blackle.com, or a not earnest not green not washing not not not not not ploy by not Blackle.com? To find out, PCSTATS didnt't not hook up an Extech Power Analyzer to a 19" CRT and a 19" LCD and measured power draw — turns out there is a significant difference ..."

    Mine would have been shot down for being too readable though.

    Comic sans is an excellent font. I send all my emails lime green on white in 14 pt comic sans all the time.

  6. Re:Sure troll, here you go on CIOs Dismissed As Techies Without Business Savvy By CEOs · · Score: 1

    It was very petty of me, and for that I apologize, but thank you for indulging me. :)

  7. Re:Let's "reverse the field" on them then on CIOs Dismissed As Techies Without Business Savvy By CEOs · · Score: 2

    I think I understand what you're trying to say, but can you express it in a hosts file analogy so I can be sure?

    I think I love you BMO.

  9. Re:If Afghanistan hadn't been so neglected... on Anti-Education Attack Poisons 150 Afghan Schoolgirls · · Score: 2

    The problem lies in the assumption that those with the capability to make the world a better place genuinely have interest in doing so.

  10. Re:A glorified name for better bus arbitrators on Multicore Chips As 'Mini-Internets' · · Score: 2

    You'd think someone with a 7-digit UID wouldn't be so arrogant.

  11. Re:Be afraid, I am an employer on Company Designs "Big Brother Chip" · · Score: 1

    I guess that makes sense, though I would think video cameras (which are already ubitquitous) would perform the same function, and already be in place.

    Also, for some reason, I initially pictured you working at EA or Sony.

  12. Was anyone else failing reading on SMS-Controlled Malware Hijacking Android Phones · · Score: 1

    And quietly wondering what "SMS-Controlled Mahjong Android Phones" were?

  13. Re:Be afraid, I am an employer on Company Designs "Big Brother Chip" · · Score: 1

    Serious question: Why?

    Is it some sort of Machiavellian thing? Is there an actual reason for it?

    Can you please cite some sites which do not participate in illegal activity who have suffered? AFAIK, the list is exactly zero. And in either case, can you please show where due process was denied?

  22. Re:Very odd details on Disconnection of Millions of DNSChanger-Infected PCs Delayed · · Score: 1

    Well, it mentioned OS X instructions so I didn't know what to think. Upon looking at it a second time around, I see the instructions offhandedly mentions affecting SOHO Routers, so maybe that's why the Apple instructions are there, but if that's the case, I think my previous observation still stands.

    Thanks for linking this Eric. Frankly, I had assumed that there were no such areas around me. The kind of people you meet in midwest sort of breeds the automatic assumption that there are no places like this I was surprised to find 3 around St. Louis.
