  1. Re:The sadest part of this is.. on Lawmakers Caught Again By File-Sharing Software · · Score: 1

    You don't want your local crimelord/mob boss being able to tell which of his lines are tapped by going down to the ministry and filling out a freedom of information form, do you?

    Sounds fair enough to me.

  2. Re:Go to your room and no video games! on Internet Probably Couldn't Handle a Flu Pandemic · · Score: 1

    I heard that too but I figured it was a feature of overpopulation trying to fix itself.

  3. Re:How it probably works... on Hulu Blocks International Access Via Witopia · · Score: 1

    Its a wonder nobody has been able to make targeted video ads relating to whatever is known about a viewer. Google is probably working on something like that to use in Youtube eventually though.

  4. Don't Pull a Sega. on Can Nintendo Really Be Planning Another DS Variant? · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Dear Nintendo,

    I would really like if you didn't do this, but as long as its still compatible you should be ok. You were there when Sega pulled the constant hardware change and killed their own hardware sector. I kinda like you Nintendo so keep it compatible and the bitching will be a minimum.

    Your Fan,

    You see right now, how the lack of natural selection affects a species. With human ability to reproduce falling more and more. And people needing more and more "healthcare" to even be able to live a normal life. Soon we won't be able to reproduce and live at all, without tons of machines and pills keeping us alive at every second.

    If you heard the time passing by narration in Idiocracy the ability to reproduce will remain.

    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    I would much rather just consider Common Sense a superpower now.

    Streisand Effect in full effect.

  9. Re:Please tell me... on Facebook To Preserve Accounts of the Dead · · Score: 1

    I dunno my dad actually put it in his will to delete his Facebook account and close a few email accounts he had.

  10. Re:A Good Thing on Facebook To Preserve Accounts of the Dead · · Score: 1
    When I read this:

    To be fair though, facebook deadpool trolling is going to become a sport.

    My first thought was, "Don't troll Deadpool. He might change his profile pic to not have his mask or he might hunt down the trolls with Cable's help."

  11. Re:XKCD on Geocities Shutting Down Today · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have seen people not even read TFT. (The Full Title)

  12. AT&T Trouble Self Inflicted? on A Possible Cause of AT&T's Wireless Clog — Configuration Errors · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is not really news at all. They spend little to nothing to keep their network up to the devices they have on it. This misconfiguration of buffers (if that is really a cause at all) is probably because they might not hire people with any knowledge of what they are doing to keep costs low.

  13. Re:That's Why We Must Be Proactive now on Cyberterror Not Yet a Credible Threat, Says Policy Thinktank · · Score: 1

    Obviously even you must understand that they're not causing "terror" just for the fun of it, but have some agenda do so (usually so they can get people to hear their agenda, what the goverment doesn't allow)

    But online you get groups or cyber-terrorist script kiddies that do it for the lulz because the repercussions don't really exist.

  14. Re:!secure on Anonymous Browsing On Android Phones Using Tor · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Tor is good for keeping you secure from niggers.

    No its not. They will just beat the shit outta you and steal your phone.

  15. Re:Why are there still game retailers? on Game Retailers Facing Digital Distribution Transition · · Score: 1

    That's probably some people, but most also don't care about it. For me it seems just a lot of work to get something like $10 back from it (and then you really lose the value you spend for buying the game because you dont have it anymore).

    You can buy them used too and its cheaper than new.

  16. I would sence a disturbance... on What If They Turned Off the Internet? · · Score: 1

    in the force. It would be as if millions of voices cried out and instantly could find no more porn.

  17. Re:marketshare on Now Linux Can Get Viruses, Via Wine · · Score: 1

    To use the car analogy, requiring home users to have a sysadmin to use a computer is like requiring car owners to have a chauffeur.

    Its more like having a personal mechanic.

  18. Re:Yes, make it more like Facebook on MySpace Trying To Regain Lost Ground With Games and Music · · Score: 1

    There's a like option, its kinda like being modded up. You can't be modded down in Facebook though because you can only dislike things you already liked.

  19. Re:Yes, make it more like Facebook on MySpace Trying To Regain Lost Ground With Games and Music · · Score: 1
    You bring up a good point on not wanting the apps to have your data, but if you wanted it private then don't put it up at all. As of right now there really is no middle ground on accessibility or your info once its up there. I personally prefer to have a relevant ad if I am going to have any ads at all and if they aren't using my data for nefarious means then its fine. If I don't want some third party knowing something but I want my friends to know it I tell then to their face or in a more private mode of communication like a call or a text.

    tl;dr version: I disagree but YMMV.

  20. Re:Arrr Matey! Here there be Market Share?! on Chinese Gov't Pushing Linux In Rural China With Subsidies · · Score: 1

    I can't find it but didn't Ballmer make a statement about piracy of Windows in China saying it was a good thing because it brought mindshare or locked-down-ness or something like that.

    We don't like too much of a noob influx on Linux all at once anyways. It puts to much stress to the ones in the know.
