  1. Re:No shit. All cable content is crap these days. on Broadband Subscribers Eclipsing Cable TV Subscribers · · Score: 1

    That depends entirely on which websites you visit.

    Sure, but at least you get a chance to see what happened instead of having someone else unilaterally say "Open wide, here comes the news airplane!". Some is worse, but there's the possibility that some will be better.

  2. Re:Adblock Plus/FlashBlock on London Police Placing Anti-Piracy Warning Ads On Illegal Sites · · Score: 1

    That's the generally accepted estimate: 10% will never steal, 10% will always steal, 80% might do it given the opportunity.

  3. Re:There's no such thing as "Illegal" sites on London Police Placing Anti-Piracy Warning Ads On Illegal Sites · · Score: 1

    I *want* to agree with you, but...

  4. Re:Adblock Plus/FlashBlock on London Police Placing Anti-Piracy Warning Ads On Illegal Sites · · Score: 2

    They're not trying to convince the 10% that do it knowingly, they're trying to convince the 80% that don't know better.

  5. Remember... on New Russian Law To Forbid Storing Russians' Data Outside the Country · · Score: 1

    Russian expatriates are Russian citizens too. And employment data is a thing that gets stored. I hope they're not looking for work with an Internet company...

  6. Two Percent? on Why NASA's Budget "Victory" Is Anything But · · Score: 2, Insightful

    2% isn't a victory, it's an "oh my f*cking god, we survived being killed off by the skin of our teeth".

  7. Re:more money - less quality on Cable TV Prices Rising At Four Times the Inflation Rate · · Score: 2

    Nope. A bit of research will show that it is in fact logarithmic. There are obvious diminishing returns once you realize that there are five or six channels showing the same episode of the same show at the same time.

  8. Blatant Racism on Supreme Court Upholds Michigan's Ban On Affirmative Action In College Admissions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Justice Sotomayor sounds like a huge racist since she doesn't seem to believe that blacks or hispanics are capable of getting admitted on their own merit.

  9. Re:So what is an alternative to OpenSSL? on Theo De Raadt's Small Rant On OpenSSL · · Score: 1

    GnuTLS, NSS, Botan.

  10. Oh for the... on The 3D Economy — What Happens When Everyone Prints Their Own Shoes? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What happened to supermarkets when people started being able to grow their own food?

  11. Re:Temper tantrum on Minecraft Creator Halts Plans For Oculus Version Following Facebook Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Facebook might not be a games company right now, but the acquisition of Oculus certainly gives them a huge opportunity to venture in to that market.

    And the umpteen millions of subscribers it already has doesn't? Pull the other one, it's full of candy.

  12. Really... on Facebook Introduces Hack: Statically Typed PHP · · Score: 0

    With all the problems in PHP, ***this*** is the change they decide to make? Did they have nothing better to do?

  13. "Humans on Facebook are like bacteria." on First Study of the Evolution of Memes On Facebook · · Score: 4, Funny

    Am I doing it right?

  14. Meet the New PHP on The New PHP · · Score: 0

    Same as the Old PHP.

  15. "Interactive" on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    Insert pod, push button. How much interactivity does making coffee *need*?

  16. And in other news... on Windows 8.1 Passes Windows Vista In Market Share · · Score: 4, Funny

    Kicks in the ass are more popular than punches in the face.

  17. HA HA HA, Oh Wow... on Oracle Broadens Legal Fight Against Third-party Solaris Support Providers · · Score: 2

    They *really* need to stop getting trigger-happy every time they see their own feet...

  18. Re:A start on Powering Phones, PCs Using Sugar · · Score: 2

    Why do you hate America?

    Because I'm not American?

  19. A start on Powering Phones, PCs Using Sugar · · Score: 2

    Maltodextrin/glucose is a start, but wake me up when it can use sucrose.

  20. Re: not exactly a troll. IA made similar, met Nint on Nintendo Defeats and Assumes Control of 'Patent Troll's' Portfolio After Victory · · Score: 5, Informative

    Except that Nintendo didn't do that. It was the writer of the "article" (which is really just an oversized text blurb) who used that word.

  21. Re:Great on Japan To Create a Nuclear Meltdown · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it more constructive to learn how to nullify radio activity?

    We already know how. Keep nuking the atoms until they split into stable elements. The primary problems are that 1) each step isn't 100% reliable, and 2) some nasty, nasty things are created in the meantime.

  22. Not sure which is news... on Australia's National Broadband Network Downgraded · · Score: 1

    ... that politicians lied or that government can't handle tech.

  23. Even if it isn't terribly efficient, it could still mean that your car could charge almost anywhere you park it. Traditional wired charging could be used at service stations where speed is more important than convenience.

  24. Duh on The Best Way To Blow the Whistle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Poorly. Rock the boat, and you can expect to be thrown off. It's the Human Way.

  25. Re:It's not just pathetic on Lead Contractor On Health-Care Web Site Led By Execs From Troubled IT Company · · Score: 1

    But that's how it always is. Blame the past administrations for failures, praise the current administration for successes.
