  1. Re:Tax rates on Senators To Unveil the 'Ex-Patriot Act' To Respond To Facebook's Saverin · · Score: 1

    But their fair share is a completely subjective concept

  2. Re:WTF on Online Music Storage Firm MP3tunes Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Then why don't you write an email to Reuters then?

    Because it's the first sentence of the story

  3. Re:Good riddance indeed on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO · · Score: 1

    Would you renounce your American citizenship if there were a large enough sum of money to be gained?

  4. Re:Good riddance indeed on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO · · Score: 1

    It's almost as if all civilizations have had government, and so any action can be arbitrarily traced back to a government based influence

  5. Sure hasn't been true in my life on 'Social Jetlag' May Be Making You Fat · · Score: 1

    I have an awful sleep schedule. I often keep completely different hours each day.

    Yet I'm 5'10 and only weigh 140lbs. I call bunk on this

  6. This is poorly planned on Google Patents Using iPhones To Kill 'Free Bird' · · Score: 1

    I see two possibilities here,

    A) I go to a bar, want to listen to music, but get my music gets rejected. I sure as hell don't want to be at that bar anymore.
    B) Or in averaging people's dislikes and likes, the only music that will actually play are songs that no one hates enough to down vote, but no one likes.

    It seems like this will piss off new customers, or just ensure no one gets to listen to what they actually really like.

  7. Re:It's about time, we can learn from other specie on Study Aims To Read Dogs' Thoughts · · Score: 3, Funny

    How complex do you exactly think the mind of a being who eats cat turds out of a littler box actually is?

  8. Re:People are VPN'ing into the office on Global Broadband Speeds Dropped At the End of 2011 · · Score: 1

    Maybe for the 3rd and 4th tier companies, but the big companies rent rack space for their super-computers inside the actual exchange.

  9. Re:METAL on Researchers Model Pluto's Atmosphere, Find 225 Mph Winds · · Score: 1

    If you wanted a music video with suffocated and frozen people

  10. Re:Only good for testing the model on Researchers Model Pluto's Atmosphere, Find 225 Mph Winds · · Score: 2

    Clearly Galileo should have just shut the hell up until he built a spaceship, flew into space, directly observed the sun being in the middle of the solar system, and returned to Earth with all his data.

    Or maybe predictions without precise data can produce valuable data. Nah, it's gotta be the first one

  11. Re:Windmills will reduce global warming and CO2 on New Study Suggests Wind Farms Can Cause Climate Change · · Score: 1

    The effet of Co2 is permenant and irreversible.

    Maybe it's just my state, but we've got this thing called the ocean, and these other things called trees around here. They absorb carbon dioxide out the the atmosphere. Then again; maybe this is just a local thing.

  12. I See a Stupid Point, and a Thoughtful Point on How Apple Sidesteps Billions In Global Taxes · · Score: 1

    Stupid point: Apple is choosing to incorporate where the taxes and laws are most favorable

    Thoughtful point: Apple is using multilayer international tax law in order to reduce the lion's share of their taxes.

  13. Re:Not really bothered, tbh on Expect Mandatory 'Big Brother' Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015 · · Score: 1

    I don't know how it is in your state, but in mine if someone rearends you into hitting the person in front of them(even if you were stopped) you are considered at fault for hitting the car in front of you. You would also be liable for any cars the person in front of you hit as well as a result of you hitting them. The idea being you should have left more space between you and the next car.

  14. Re:If 20 years is gaurunteed? on $60 Light Bulb Debuts On Earth Day · · Score: 1

    Are you really going to call them up on the 15th year, with a receipt, and ask for your money back if the bulb breaks?

  15. It might have something to do with the fact that on Medicaid Hack Update: 500,000 Records and 280,000 SSNs Stolen · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how many social security checks go out to dead people

  16. And who will be held responsible? on Medicaid Hacked: Over 181,000 Records and 25,000 SSNs Stolen · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Survey says..............

    No one!

  17. Re:Support Them? on Anonymous Hacks UK Government Sites Over 'Draconian Surveillance' · · Score: 1

    In so much as the taking down of websites I agree largely, but I do appreciate the information dumps that have come from this sort of thing

  18. Re:Order fulfilment business? on Amazon Pays No UK Income Tax, Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    I'm confused as to how a business could not be an "order fulfillment business"?

    If you aren't fufilling orders, then you really aren't doing any business

  19. I hope they don't find the site I pirate music on on Despite Drop In Piracy, French Music Industry Still In Decline · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's called Youtube

  20. New Pirated Version of Simcity to NOT require this on New SimCity To Require Constant Internet Connection · · Score: 1

  21. Here's the Help Send Bubbles to Spacevideo on Mike Smith (Bubbles) Leading the Race For Space · · Score: 2

    http://youtu.be/n4M6bMuQkqc

    It's pretty funny

  22. Re:Any suggestions further securing an Iphone? on ACLU Obtains Cell Phone Tracking Training Materials · · Score: 1

    I was thinking less of the tracking, and more of the flashing of a copy of the phone, but thank you for the thoughtful reply

  23. Re:Any suggestions further securing an Iphone? on ACLU Obtains Cell Phone Tracking Training Materials · · Score: 2

    .....Cake....Yeah...cake

  24. Any suggestions further securing an Iphone? on ACLU Obtains Cell Phone Tracking Training Materials · · Score: 2

    Can any of the programs available to jailbroken phones prevent scans?

  25. I pirate most of my music from Youtube on After Megaupload, MPAA Targets Other File Sharing Services · · Score: 2

    MegaUpload can't provide me that, but that's fine when Google does it
