  1. Re:um.... on Multiplatform Java Botnet Spotted In the Wild · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So typical. Program is written in Java but packaged so it is Windows only defeating the main purpose of using Java in the first place.

  2. Re:Whoops on Aaron Computer Rental Firm Spies On Users · · Score: 1

    Enter the rent-to-own industry, giving you long term high weekly payments,
    Fixed it for you.

  3. Re:A common mistake ... on Ubisoft Launches Movie Studio To Make Movies of Its Games · · Score: 1

    Then why didn't the Prince of Persia screenwriters build a plot? (I was so disapointed that I thought about sending Disney a bill for the time I spent watching it...)

  4. Re:Easy win for Google on Google Sued For Tracking Users' Locations · · Score: 1

    Not intended as a troll. I generally like my Android phone but most of the time it can't aquire a GPS signal. (Unless I know where I am, where I am going, and how to get there. It seems to work fine as long as I don't need it). It seems to be a common complaint among other Android owners I know.

  5. Easy win for Google on Google Sued For Tracking Users' Locations · · Score: 1

    Assuming the GPS on those phones works as bad as any of the Android phones I've ever used.

  6. Re:heat pump? on New Heat Pump Will Last 10,000 Years · · Score: 1

    If you own a Jaguar you need to be prepared to make emergency repairs.

  7. Re:I've got a crazy idea. on DirecTV Plans Netflix Competitor · · Score: 1

    Actually they are going the other way and charging $30 for movies that are near the end of their theatrical run but not quite ready for home video release. It might be worth it if they were available at the same time as the theatrical release (for those of us with families anyway.) but I can't see spending that much when waiting a few weeks brings it down to a $3-$4 video rental and a few more a $1 redbox rental.

  8. I'm not too suprised... on ERP Vendors Get Into Medical Marijuana Business · · Score: 1

    I got the impression that most ERP vendors are smoking something...

  9. Discovered by STAR? on Antihelium Discovered By STAR · · Score: 1

    That is the first time I've heard of a virus making a scientific discovery. I just hope the Iranians don't find a way to weaponize it.

  10. Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy on What Kinect Could Be, But Probably Won't · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that whenever I hear of Kinect-controlled TVs thinks of the Sub-Eartha Radio on the Heart of Gold, where you had to remain perfectly motionless in order to remain listening to the same station?

  11. Re:Wired article on Rumors of Higgs Boson Discovery At LHC · · Score: 1

    What a coincidence! That's just down the street from a 7-11 where there was a rumored Elvis sighting on the same day!

  12. Re:Duh. on How People Broadcast Their Locations Without Meaning To · · Score: 1

    The metadata was faked. The picture was taken by the replica in Las Vegas. On the other hand if the USPS had bothered to check metadata it might have saved them some embarrasment.

  13. Re:What do they expect? on Apple Sues Samsung Over Galaxy Phones and Tablets · · Score: 1

    3 - They shall not be black, or white, in fact, we claim all primary colors. They can use fecal brown, puke green, or plaid because we don't like plaid.

    Ah, so that explains the Zune. Microsoft didn't want to be sued over the color!

  14. Re:Even more strange on Jesse Jackson, Jr. Pins US Job Losses On iPad · · Score: 1

    It's like everyone clammoring to bail out GM and save a bunch of low skill jobs that are going nowhere but overseas in the future anyway.

    Please explain why Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, etc. all make many of their more popular models in USA? The jobs aren't all going overseas, just out of Detroit.

  15. Re:This is why profiling is so stupid on TSA Investigates... People Who Complain About TSA · · Score: 2

    2) define weapon? I bet I could kill a man with a pen if I wanted.

    Well, it IS mightier than the sword...

  16. Re:Complaining IS blending in on TSA Investigates... People Who Complain About TSA · · Score: 1

    Now we're back to the same absurdity as "everybody does something embarassing on FaceBook, so don't hire anybody".

    Actually, it's "Everybody does something embarrassing on Facebook, so let's use that as an excuse so we can disqualify US applicants and offshore these positions"

  17. Re:1000 whole sites on Scientists Unveil Worlds First Computerized Human Brain Map · · Score: 1

    Simulating 1000 synapses should work fine. If you remove all of the synapses of the male brain that are dedicated to thinking about boobies that's about all you have left.

  18. Re:Money is no object on NYPD Anti-Terrorism Cameras Used For Much More · · Score: 1

    Correction: Sounds expensive. Good thing the taxpayers are paying for it.

  19. Re:There are reasons for that... on Are Computer Crooks Renting Out Your PC? · · Score: 1

    And any patches applied to computers attached to medical equipment must have FDA approval.

  20. Re:Pastafarianism's false prophecy on Tennessee Bill Helps Teachers Challenge Evolution · · Score: 1

    DIE Heritic! How DARE you muddy the waters of this debate with facts!

  21. Re:My school prayer on Tennessee Bill Helps Teachers Challenge Evolution · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I for one would hope that there is at least one teacher in the state with guts enough to take advantage of the situation and discuss FlyingSpaghettiMonsterisim.

  22. Re:And INTERPOL wants to be in charge of it. on Interpol Wants a Global Identity Card System · · Score: 1

    Easy, so they can ask for (and recieve) additional funding to cover this.

  23. Re:No, sounds like only in America on Which Grad Students Are the Most Miserable? · · Score: 1

    So true, unfortunately you can substitute Democrat for Republican and the above post would only be slightly less accurate.

  24. Re:Epic on Plumber Injection Attack In Bowser's Castle · · Score: 1

    No, but two could...

  25. US to send robots to Japan? on US To Send Radiation-Hardened Robots To Japan · · Score: 2

    Sounds like the plot of an Anime movie...
