    Executives aren't free dude.

  2. Re:So let me get this straight... on Less Than Free · · Score: 1

    But they said they weren't going to be evil! I believed them. Google, you broke my heart.

  3. No Mainstream Media Coverage on Secret ACTA Treaty May Sport "Internet Enforcement" Procedures After All · · Score: 4, Funny

    The lack of mainstream media coverage of this issue is telling. They're not afraid to pass up a story if it's in their best interest to do so. I propose we force them to report on ACTA by kidnapping Kanye West, stripping him naked, tattooing "SETEC Astronomy" on his forehead, and launching him in a homemade balloon purchased by John Gosslin with the money he stole from Kate.

  4. Re:Is day trading a good thing? on Device Protects Day Traders From Emotional Trading · · Score: 1

    They provides liquidity in the markets. Every time you want to buy or sell a share, the faster you can find a counter-party, the better your chance is to get your order filled.

    Oh, so they enable day trading.

  5. Re:Yes men on Explaining Corporate Culture Through "The Office" · · Score: 1

    Imagine having Kate from "Jon and Kate Plus 8" as your boss.

    I now have a deeper understanding of why, every once in a while, you hear about some guy that just iced everyone in his office including himself with a automatic weapon.

  6. Some Creative Editing Makes Them Much Better on Mainstream Press "Cringes" At Win7 Launch Parties · · Score: 1
  7. Not Just Evil on Microsoft Pushes For Single Global Patent System · · Score: 1

    But, now crossing the line into cartoonish super-villainy.

    So little information.

    Money.

  10. Re:Probably just the first step on "Hidden" PayPal Fees Inciting Community Unrest · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Actually, the article is about PayPal charging more for their service without out notifying customers.

  11. Re:Petty and vaguely sordid. on 'Awful' Internet Rules Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    This isn't from a trade group. It's from a group of ordinary consumers just like you. These informed consumers know that no personally identifiable data is being stored and in the event that it is stored it is only shared with trusted 3rd parties and affiliates. These consumers also appreciate the opportunity to accept valuable offers from reputable online companies. These consumers understand that the personalized marketing communications they receive can make their online experience richer and more engaging.

  12. Re:Sorry, Harry on The Mice That Didn't Make It · · Score: 1

    So, the ROI and Ad spend decreased despite content integration and sponsored recommendations. Perhaps if we incentivize the inclusion of web-facing strategy indicators? Hold on, the webinar about how to get people to punch the monkey is starting...

  13. Re:Best mouse... on The Mice That Didn't Make It · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting design. I'd love to try one. But that price would have to come way down for a purchase to happen.

  14. Re:That's it... on AP Will Sell You a "License" To Words It Doesn't Own · · Score: 1

    That's a surprisingly sound business plan. /weeps

  15. Re:There's a market for meaningless licenses. on AP Will Sell You a "License" To Words It Doesn't Own · · Score: 1

    I'm going to start a business selling licenses to things that I don't own. It will be a covenant from me that if I do ever become the owner of said property, I won't sue you for not paying me. It's important to be BabyDuckHat compliant.

    Seriously, could you read a bill with a schedule like this?

  17. Re:I got lucky! on Music Industry Wants a Cut of Pirate Bay Sale · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, sorry about that. Actually, all money goes to the music industry. It's in the constitution.

  18. Re:Doesn't hurt them? on China Bans Shock Treatment For Internet Addiction · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Which is evidence that, when it come to the mind, we're still just cavemen bashing things with rocks.

  19. Re:Made a quick template for you on Expanding the Electricity Grid May Be a Mistake · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's needed instead is security and streaming, the development of nano-technology and the demonstration of technology such as cloud computing, which could provide a cheaper way to reduce health care costs.

    Yep, seems to work.

    Well, that certainly is a lot of words.

  23. Re:Easy on Proposed Canadian Law Would Allow Warrantless Searches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually, you may not be far off. It's a common tactic to propose a bill that actually asks for far more than you want. That gives the opposition the chance to gut it or to come together for a sunshine-time compromise, while still allowing what you really wanted to get passed.

    EvilPerson1: How can I make it legal to beat people with boards?
    EvilPerson1: "I propose we give law-enforcement the authority to pull off peoples ears with with pilers and beat them with boards with nails in them."
    EvilPerson2: "Objection! That's just barbaric!"
    EvilPerson1: "Fine, let's compromise: They can't do the pliers thing, but they can still hit them with boards."
    EvilPerson2: "Getting there, but I'm still not comfortable with the nails."
    EvilPerson1: "You wimp. Fine, no nails." Sucker.
    EvilPerson2: "That's better."
