  1. Re: Still on No, a Stolen iPod Didn't Brick Ben Eberle's Prosthetic Hand · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's all Obama's fault!!! I can't think of a single reason why at the moment, but that is Obama's fault as well.

    Personally I use two or three large salt mines. A single grain just doesn't cut it anymore.

  3. Re: Judicial Order on Google Wins $1.3 Million From Patent Troll · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't think Google would even notice $1.3M. I'm sure their nazgul legal team will spare no expense to see that these trolls pay every penny so that other trolls think twice before trying to rip off Google out its customers.

  4. Re: shoot the admins on Time Warner Cable Experiences Nationwide Internet Outage · · Score: 2

    Back in my day we didn't have history class as most of it hasn't happened yet. We had to worry about getting eaten by a velociraptor on the way to school instead.

  6. Didn't they have enough money to try to purchase Time Warner just a few months ago?

  7. Re: No, there is no evidence of BSM yet on The First Particle Physics Evidence of Physics Beyond the Standard Model? · · Score: 1

    I read as "No evidence of BDSM yet".
    I had no idea that subatomic particles were in to that...

    Did U.S. Navy special ops engage in biological warfare?

  9. Re: Infrastructure? on Linus Torvalds: 'I Still Want the Desktop' · · Score: 1

    There lies the problem. Many Linux distros have gone from being over configurable a few years ago to bring even more tightly locked down than Windows or MacOS. Often there is a way to change the behavior of the of the window manager but often the option is deeply hidden within the bowels of the configuration manager that you will never find it unless you know where to look, assuming it is there at all.

  10. Re: I give up... on Your Phone Can Be Snooped On Using Its Gyroscope · · Score: 1

    So That must be the reason that Apple made the iPhone battery non removable. It's a security feature!

    Point your finger in any direction. There are enough crooks in the healthcare industry that you will probably be ponting at one of them.

  12. Re: Surprise? on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Something is wrong with you.

    I'm guessing you spend more time dicking around with your desktop than actually working, and I'd say that would be why Unity is such a big deal for you.

    Actually, It reminded me too much of... Windows 8

  13. Sign me up! on Rightscorp's New Plan: Hijack Browsers Until Infingers Pay Up · · Score: 1

    It's implied that I've paid their extortion fees I'm free to download as much as I want. Right? Sure it costs a bit more than Netflix but TPB has a better selection anyway...

  14. Re: Surprise? on Munich Reverses Course, May Ditch Linux For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I tried ubuntu. Unity is so bad it had me runnin back to... Windows 8! (I'm trying kubuntu now. It's a significant improvement.)

    TARDIS racks are great! I can get 932U of equipment in the space of a normal 42U rack, and I get the results before I enter my data!

    That's not fair, Microsoft doesn't kill whores.

    No, just like most companies they hire them and put them in Sales or Marketing.

    I nominate the name (acronym): UFIA or UFIA explorer

    They should go after the 8 year old girl market and call it Dorathe Explorer.

  20. Re:Too much surplus on Two Years of Data On What Military Equipment the Pentagon Gave To Local Police · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If we have this much surplus, clearly we're buying too much. I know that if I find myself giving away cans of green beans, I make sure I don't buy a whole pallet the next time I'm at Costco.

    Perhaps, but unlike the military you don't have some Senator from a state with a lot of green bean farms and canning plants telling you that you must purchase pallets of green beans regardless of whether you want or need them.

  21. 3DTV a fad? on Is Dolby Atmos a Flop For Home Theater Like 3DTV Was? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That would imply that it was popular at some point.

    But then you had 50 crap channels you never watched along with the 5 that you did. Now there are 240 crap channels to go along with the 5 that you watch. Oh wait TLC is all reality shows and Discovery is pseudoscience crap so there are only 3 channels you watch now. But hey you have over 240 channels with nothing on now.

    You are giving them way to much credit. Don't attribute to malice which can be easily explained by incompetence.
