  1. Forget it on Opera Unite is a Hail Mary · · Score: 1

    Dumb bloatware - I DON'T want a browser with webserver in it, I DONT want a browser with an email client in it, I DONT want a browser with torrents in it etc etc etc.

  2. More bloat on Opera 10.0 Released, With Integrated Web Server Functionality · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is there actually something useful?

    Like being able to make the fonts smaller or larger on pages? (They haven't had this, they "zoom" into the page, which is rubbish)

  3. Re:I'm so sick of the American Congress on Climate Change Bill Includes IP Protections · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As banana republic there are certain things which must be done. This is one of them.

  4. Where is the ABC80 version? on A Twitter Client For the Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    Eh?

  5. Of course on BT Wants Cash For iPlayer, Video Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    They could just start selling only what they can provide, instead of selling what they haven't got.

  6. Re:Competition on BT Wants Cash For iPlayer, Video Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    "Remind me, which other UK ISPs don't use BT's backbone? "

    Remind us where it matters?

    Its a numbers game, if people go to someone else they pay someone else - that that money may end up with BT is not really relevant.

  7. Re:The Mysterious Reoccurrence of Mr. Freckles on Most Blogs Now Abandoned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well you would only have yourself to blame since you asked him to do it.

  8. Sure on Most Blogs Now Abandoned · · Score: 1

    Twitter is selective multicasting to you - from people you wish to hear about. Wanna know what Kevin Spacey is doing? Or Nathan Fillion? Follow them http://twitter.com/KevinSpacey http://twitter.com/NathanFillion
    Wanna get breaking news? Follow it http://twitter.com/cnnbrk
    Wanna get TV news follow it http://twitter.com/TVbytheNumbers

    Wanna get spam? No - then don't follow spammers.

    Very simple. Nobody can see you stuff you don't want to know about.

  9. No on Most Blogs Now Abandoned · · Score: 1

    Most men lead lines of quiet desperation. They don't blog.

  10. Re:Capitalist flight on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    "Ok, smartass, WHY DO THEY AVOID TAXES?"

    Because they are amoral creeps who only think about themselves.

    "Should we allow tax policy to encourage moving profits offshore to avoid taxes and increase profits?"

    Any company who does this should then be banned from selling their products for a period of first 5 years - if they repeat it 10 years. Then they will learn.

  11. Re:Capitalist flight on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    "Obama has to realize, though, that if these loopholes are closed, the tax rates will have to come down a bit to compensate for that,"

    Hah, you have some of the lowest in the world. Its time you greedy fucks stop abusing the planet and pay your way!

  12. Re:Capitalist flight on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    In that case the laws need to change, to they have an obligation to not screw society over.

  13. Re:Capitalist flight on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    "why don't we cut corportate taxes severely"

    No. The leeches have to support society or be banned.

    "Besides, IMHO...corporate tax is useless, it is just a hidden tax on the consumer, since a corporation just passes this off onto the consumer as part of their cost of a product."

    And people will chose the cheapest one.

  14. They greed never want to support society on Ballmer Threatens To Pull Out of the US · · Score: 1

    What else is new?

  15. Indeed on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Its getting worse and less readable over the years. Alas.

  16. New design, eh? on First Beta of Opera 10 Released · · Score: 1

    Wonder if that means if it will finally be able to change THE FONTSIZE on the fly on pages (as opposed to now where it just ZOOMs into the page)

  17. Apple helping retards on Apple Bans RSS Reader Due To Bad Word In Feed Link · · Score: 2, Funny

    Come now, lets all be fair, it is commendable that Apple are hiring mentally diseased retarded people! They need jobs too!

  18. Should be re electable on Sotomayor's Position On Copyright Damages · · Score: 1

    Of course in real democracies supreme court judges get replaced at regular intervals instead of getting appointed for life.

    But if she votes for the establishment, then that's hardly surprising she is a product of it after all isn't she.

    Copyright is theft.

  19. As long as.... on Google Set To Tackle eBook Market · · Score: 1

    As long as its a proper program, which can be download on its own, without having to be forced to install services and other bloated crap on your system.

  20. Re:bad translation, unsurprising judgment on French ISP Orange Fined For Offensive Temporary Password · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't care what his psychological problems are, if that was randomly generated he should just shut up.
    Stupid courts.

    If on the other hand someone specifically wrote that because they know some uptight people would get offended, well that person should probably be fired then.

  21. Re:And yet on How American Homeless Stay Wired · · Score: 1

    Because most people basically don't care about other people - and then they invent rationalizations to support their disinterest.

  22. Didn't Cuba become unbanned? on Microsoft Not the Only Firm Blocking IM Service To US Enemies · · Score: 1

    With the new hope president?

  23. Its just browser shit on Google Adds Scripting Capabilities To Google Docs · · Score: 1

    If it was a real program, it *might* be interesting, even though it doesn't really add anything new.

    But crap to run in a browser?

    Hell no.

  24. Re:So what? on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    What a pity...

  25. Sure it is: Was: *Spam* is not a Point of View. on Wikipedia Bans Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    It's the point of view that greed is good, and fuck everybody else.
