  1. Re:PDF is hacker-friendly way of making leaks on Detailing the Security Risks In PDF Standard · · Score: 1

    A real hacker doesn't call himself a hacker, you tool.

  2. Free lit case? on How a Leather Cover Crashes the Kindle · · Score: 3, Funny

    So all you have to do is scrape the paint, and wire in a little LED and resistor, and you have a free lit case? Thanks Amazon !

  3. CLU on Tron: Legacy · · Score: 1

    You realize CLU was supposed to be a CG version of Bridges, right? He's SUPPOSED to not look 100% perfectly real.

  4. Re:SCOTUS is losing it. on First-Sale Doctrine Lost Overseas · · Score: 1

    That is not exactly a decision that is in the best interest of the American people.

    Do you actually think that's what they're trying to do?

  5. Eye of the Needle? on Facebook's Zuckerberg To Give Away Half His Cash · · Score: 3, Funny

    Funny how most of these rich, aging guys suddenly want to buy their way into Heaven.

  6. Archos 10.1 on Hands-On With Acer's New 10-Inch Android Tablet · · Score: 1

    Why not the Archos 10 inch, which runs Android 2.2, weighs less than an iPad, and is buyable now?

  7. They'll still filter ports on Verizon Speeds Up FiOS To 150Mbps · · Score: 1

    I want unfiltered ports. I run a small family website and home mail server, and have to jump through all these stupid hacks to get stuff to work. Verizon, I'll take even 1 Mbps if you give me raw access. Be a utility provider, not a content provider please.

  8. Re:Seriously? Do your own job. on SSL Certificates For Intranet Sites? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Its a new trend I think, fed by the chorus from management that "IT is easy" - so they find cheap talent who live by Googling answers. Nobody designs anything anymore.

  9. Re:De facto, or de jure? on The Monopolies That Dominate the Internet · · Score: 1

    Actually, 'de jure' is the proper term. Google has become a verb - I think they've won on awesomeness. Do you hear people saying "I'll just Bing that" ?

  10. De facto, or de jure? on The Monopolies That Dominate the Internet · · Score: 1

    Google is a de facto monopoly because they're pretty awesome. Your local Telco is a de jure monopoly because they have lobbyists. Monopolies are great so long as the market remains open.

  11. Not such a bad thing on Sophos Free A-V For Mac May Kill Time Machine Backups · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The guys sounds like a complete douche and fanboi - drooling on about it being Unix, and having root, and having the 'cat' command. You bent over for Steve Jobs buddy, and not you're finding Macs are just computers too. Sorry for the loss of your innocence.

  12. Wretched hive of scum and villany on Construction On Spaceship Factory Set To Begin In the Mojave · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why not call it Mos Eisley?

  13. Re:on the fence on T-Mobile G2 'Permaroot' Achieved · · Score: 1

    So you trade freedom for security?

  14. Free birth control on Is Your Laptop Cooking Your Testicles? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is good news - we don't need any more people on the planet anyways.

  15. Cargo? on TSA Bans Toner and Ink Cartridges On Planes · · Score: 1

    Good thing nobody would put a bomb on a cargo flight...

  16. Phoronix, really? on 5 Years of Linux Kernel Releases Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    What's next, we all believe Eugenia from OSNews when she spews about BeOS? These guys are just page-view leeches, ignore them and they'll wither and die.

  17. Who pays 11+ USD to go to a cinema? on Prepare To Be Watched While You Watch a Movie · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Who goes to a cinema anymore, other than tweens and sheeple who've already given up their privacy on Facebook ?

  18. Terrible review on Fedora 14 Released and Reviewed — Advanced, and Not For Wimps · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Half the article describes his test laptop and the theme he used. Then he didn't get USB3 to work, and suggested you overwrite your modules file (hint: use 2 > characters, not one). Then he complained about the CD burning program. Who burns CDs anymore?

    Nothing about SELinux, nothing about filesystems, nothing about updated packages like SSH, Postfix, Bind, or anything.

    a better article summary: "Beta Fedora makes a weak desktop, and I didn't bother to try any of the cool features of Linux"

  19. Re:Vote or Die on 'Cellphone Effect' Could Skew Polling Predictions · · Score: 1

    And if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood?

    Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

  20. energy density on Looking To Better Engines Instead of Electric Vehicles · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When you can store energy as densely as liquid hydrocarbon, you'll have a successful electric car.

  21. Magic 51% on Texas Supreme Court Cites Mr. Spock · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And as we see in the US, the needs of the 51% outweigh the needs of the other 49%. Ain't absolute democracy grand?

  22. Wrigley Gum on Microsoft Is a Dying Consumer Brand · · Score: 1

    The story goes that reporters were flying with Mr. Wrigley on a business trip, and he gave an interview. One of them asked 'Since you are by far the most popular gum around, why do you keep advertising so much, those "Doublemint" commercials are everywhere." He replied - "This plane is flying along pretty nicely, don't you think? Why does the pilot keep the engines on?"

    What NEW stuff has MS done lately?

  23. Re:Not just useless, but actually toxic. on LSE Breaks World Record In Trade Speed With Linux · · Score: 1

    Why not one trade per two seconds? Since we're already in your arbitrary fantasy land, why not one trade per day? Would that make you feel better?

  24. Does it matter? on Ubuntu Moves Away From GNOME · · Score: 1

    It has as start-button analog, a clock, you can move windows around with it, and the file manager type windows show you previews of your media files. Who cares what its called? Who cares which desktop you have as long as it does these things?

  25. Your boss goes to lunch with the Dell guy on Generic PCs For Corporate Use? · · Score: 1

    Someone in your company, somewhere, probably someone with 'Strategic Sourcing' somewhere in their title either has a free MP3 player, tablet, Mini, or sports tickets, courtesy of Dell. If you aren't that guy, you've already lost.
