  1. Re:Trace the signal from his internet key? on Mafia Boss Betrayed By Facebook · · Score: 1

    I assumed that internet key was a badly translated Italian phrase for IP address. But your explanation probably makes more sense.

    Welcome to the past 8 years for Democrats.

  3. Re:Microsoft on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not to nit pick, but there is no plural form of Virus.

  4. Re:Microsoft on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    I disagree. I use Win7 on a 2ghz P4 with 768mb of ram and it works rather smoothly.

  5. Re:facebook on Facebook Attracting More Visitors Than Google.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shouldn't this have been 'first poke!' ?

    Perfect! My kingdom for a mod point!

  7. Re:Forced to include in EU? on Opera For iPhone To Test Apple's Resolve · · Score: 1

    Monopolies by definition are anti competitive. Doesn't that make monopolistic behavior include being anti-competitive? It looks to me like you're pointing out the obvious.

    Also, why did my above post get marked troll?

  8. Re:Time to Move Winter Games OR Invent Warm-Wx Gam on "Green" Ice Resurfacing Machines Fail In Vancouver · · Score: 1

    Hell, we could have had the Winter Olympics 6 months ago in Australia... What does that have to do with global warming?

    Or..
    • Google notifies users to download an HTML5 compatible browser.
    • User moves to Chrome and never looks back to IE.

    It may actually benefit Google to give users a reason to switch to Chrome.

    Monopolistic behavior does not require a monopoly.

    NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will flyby Pluto in mid 2015 as well.

  13. Re:Google on Android and the Linux Kernel Community · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Down from over 63% in 2007. Symbian is losing ground quickly.

  14. Re:Too Small on Has Apple Created the Perfect Board Game Platform? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should look into plastic surgery?

  15. Re:We told you. on FCC's Net Neutrality Plan Blocks BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If there were true competition in the market, the government wouldn't need to do anything. People would flock to the ISPs that give them the best service rather than flocking to the monopoly that offers service in their area.

  16. Re:That thing doesn't look so scary on Dinosaur Feather Color Discovered · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Intel branding considered harmful on Core i5 and i3 CPUs With On-Chip GPUs Launched · · Score: 1

    And you also missed core duo (not the core 2 or the celeron dual core). Hooray for clarity in marketing.

  24. Re:nerve growth unsuppressed == tumors? on Method To Repair Damaged Adult Nerves Discovered · · Score: 1

    Of course, maybe there is a way to let the broken axons regrow like TFA says...

  25. Re:And yet there are still software patents. on Windows 7 Under Fire For Patent Infringement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is it because those companies see their profits from such patents as larger than the occasional cost of buying off a patent troll?
