    The dumb hicks are offended by your comment.

  2. Re:Correlation on The Mathematics of 'Legitimate Rape' and Pregnancy · · Score: 1

    Sounds like at least a few Republicans have something in common with the Taliban...

  3. Re:Apple is clearly doomed on HP Hires Ex-Nokia Exec, Spins Off WebOS, Reportedly Returning To Tablets · · Score: 0

    for normal folk who like their iphones there is no reason to go WP 7.5. what does it to that the iphone doesn't?

    nothing?

    ok, unless its free no reason to get it

    Crash frequently?

  4. Re:Reasonable on California Wants Genetically Modified Foods To Be Labelled · · Score: 0

    So this will be like the "this product contains materials known to cause cancer ..." warnings that are on so may things that the warning is useless.

  5. Re:Apple is clearly doomed on HP Hires Ex-Nokia Exec, Spins Off WebOS, Reportedly Returning To Tablets · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This is HP were talking about with an ex-Nokia guy

    Add Windows 8 and Epic Fail is no longer adaquate to describe this train wreck.

  6. Re:Dismiss every drug case on DEA Lack of Data Storage Results In Dismissed Drug Case · · Score: 1

    Think EMC not Seagate. While the 4gb Seagate drive could probably be bought out of petty cash that much EMC storage would have blown their IT budget for the year.

  7. Re:My God on Bill Gates To Develop a Revolutionary Nuclear Reactor With Korea · · Score: 0

    Countries with "Democratic" in their name generally aren't.

  8. Re:Eh... on Birth Control For Men Edges Closer · · Score: 1

    The FDA is motivated to approve drugs to support the drug companies, then found the drugs cause adverse side effects or death, supporting the ambulance chaser lawyers with their annoying TV commercials.

  9. Re:Is the testicle-shrinking reversible? on Birth Control For Men Edges Closer · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the loss in volume vanishes when the drug is discontinued.

    No, you grow a third testicle and people will nickname you ET (extra testicle).

    In related news, Lance Armstrong has volunteered for the clinical trials.

  10. Re:Reasons for trouble on Electronic Arts Up For Sale? · · Score: 2

    Let's start making golden parachutes out of actual gold. And then let executives use them after being thrown from the corporate jet.

  11. Re:Ethics on Genetically Engineering Babies a Moral Obligation, Says Ethicist · · Score: 1

    No, It's only immoral when poor people do it. Rich people will fly out to China or India and do it while the 'immoral' practice is banned in North America/Europe.And in a generation or two the division between rich and poor will be as much genetic as it is economic.

  12. Re:Don't be so naive on Genetically Engineering Babies a Moral Obligation, Says Ethicist · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The rich are the people in power.

    Really? Is Jim Carrey "in power"? Is Stephen King "in power"? Is Michael Jordan "in power"? Is Mariah Carey 'in power"? Is Justin Bieber "in power"? These are really the people that scare you?

    Those are the 1%ers, most of which aren't much of a problem. The 0.1%ers are much more troublesome. There you will find the megabank and megacorp CxOs that are mucking up everything for everyone else.

  13. Re:Paid for on Windows 8 RTM Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Any votes for AMC Pacer of the computing world?

    Not only was the Aztec one of the most hideous looking vehicles ever made it is considered by some to be the cause of Pontiac's downfall. (although in it's defense I've known a few Aztec owners and apparently it's actually a decent vehicle, at least by GM standards of the time.) As bad as the Pacer was it didn't single-highhandedly bring down AMC, who had several monstrosities working against it. (the Gremlin for example)

  14. Re:Of Course, This is Insanity. on US Court Sides With Gene Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On the other hand if you have medical issues related to patented genes perhaps you could sue the patent holder.

  15. Re:Paid for on Windows 8 RTM Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    It's putting lipstick on a pig anyway. It would have to be orders of magnitude better "under the hood" to put up with driving something that fugly.

    In related news, Joan Rivers took a swim in the Pacific yesterday and emerged without her makeup.

    And an animal rescue team promptly helped the hideous creature back into the ocean, although some wanted to keep it for study, being unable to determine it's species.

  22. Re:microsoft fanbois will still buy it on You Can't Bypass the UI Formerly Known As Metro On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    That only works for a limited period of time. Eventually, they stop selling Windows 7, and eventually they drop support for it.

    But by then Windows 9 will be out fixing the Metro problem and/or Mac and/or Linux migrations will be viable options.

    I didn't know something so small could be *that* on fire.

    Sounds like someone exiting the restroom at the local Mexican place after eating the habenjero special ...
