  1. US-Soviet Hotline on Soviets Built a Doomsday Machine; It's Still Alive · · Score: 1

    "But if you promise not to respond, I will order an absolute lockdown immediately."

    Kinda reminds me of a little story

  2. So many car analogies on US Wants UK Hacker To Pay To Fix Holes He Exposed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't have a car, you insensitive clod...

    A better analogy would be for me to have to replace the emperor's wardrobe

  3. Re:Macs on Large-Scale Mac Deployment? · · Score: 4, Funny

    400 dollars an hour?! What are you using? Lawyers? How does that work?

    1) Monitor breaks
    2) Sue Apple
    3) Free monitor?

  4. In other words on Video Surveillance System That Reasons Like a Human · · Score: 1

    It will lie.

  5. "lawful Internet content" on FCC Backs Net Neutrality, Chairman's Full Speech Posted · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In other words, they can still filter content. The ISPs' role should be nothing more than a dumb pipe. That is what we must demand. Let the police, with a PROPER warrant, handle the legalities.

  6. Re:Follow the leader on Google, Apple Joust Over Rejected Voice App · · Score: 1

    Can you run their software on just anything? How many third party printers could you hook up? Monitors? Mouse? Keyboard? When Windows came out, I can only think of one commonly available brand it(windows) would not run. You can believe what you want, I still prefer to use a Mac, but let's try to be a little honest about what they do. The lower quality product won peoples' "hearts and minds" for reason. First was price, but being slightly more open didn't hurt either.

    Wag the dog. Apple lock in precedes Microsoft by a long shot. It was born that way. It's precisely why Microsoft enjoys its 95% market share. It's Microsoft that's playing catch up.

  8. Murdoch stands on the shoulders of giants on News Content As a Resource, Not a Final Product · · Score: 1
  9. Re:The way I see it on News Content As a Resource, Not a Final Product · · Score: 1

    The problem is that journalism used to be a respected profession, but then some publisher along the way figured "Hey we don't need to report the truth, we only need to report what's 'amazing'", and people bought it.

    You wouldn't happen to be talking about this guy, would ya? Or the Big Cheese himself? Heh, Kinda like Nobel and his dynamite...

    Then hopefully you will have learned never to buy a product where this is possible ever again.

  12. Re:What we obviously need: on Mozilla Firefox Not In Violation of US Export Rules · · Score: 1

    I felt a great disturbance in the Net, as if millions of anchors were suddenly dropped and it went silent.

  13. Re:OMG The Price Of Freedom! on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 1

    ...that was the doing of NEOCONSERVATIVES

    No no no. It was the NEOLIBERALS that put us where we are today.

    I'm far more worried about Washington and Albany than I am about a handful of...

    Maybe you should take a gander at Wall Street. They are the puppeteers that work the marionettes in Washington and Albany.

  16. Re:Brain... locking... up... on Microsoft Files Suits Against "Malvertisers" · · Score: 1

    Which one?

  17. Re:MacOS 9 on Old Operating Systems Never Die · · Score: 1

    Oh, yes, it will. But to me "Classic" is just OS 9 in a virtual machine. Same difference, no? I'm kinda bummed that it won't work in it's own window with its own screen resolution though. The game requires 8 bit color, and the entire screen is set to that when I change it in Classic.

  18. Re:OMG Holy shit, INFANTICIDE!?!?!??! on Heart Monitors In Middle School Gym Class? · · Score: 1

    If it was up to me, it would be 18 years, or until they are off your car insurance, whichever comes last.

  19. Re:MacOS 9 on Old Operating Systems Never Die · · Score: 2, Funny

    I need OS 9 to play Mille Bornes. A Mac without Mille Bornes is like Windows without Solitaire.

  20. Re:Important emails on Boston City Government Discovers Email Retention · · Score: 1

    I'd choose a president who respects civil liberties & human rights and acts in the interest of the public...

    Let me know if you ever spot one, mkay?

  21. Re:Just delayed the inevitable on Father of Green Revolution, Norman Borlaug, Dies at 95 · · Score: 0, Troll

    The only thing limited about our resources is our willingness to learn how to manage them properly. We spend most of them for stratification, to exclude each other from their use with our fences, than anything else. Does anybody think that Africa would be "starving" were it not for all the wars and poaching of those resources by outsiders? "Green" revolution...Pfft! Try a PEACE revolution. And let some big, giant Roomba do your harvesting for you. That'll leave you some time to chase the wife around the hut for awhile...

  22. Re:Patents Don't Protect the Community on Microsoft Letting Patents Move To Linux Firms · · Score: 1

    These "defensive" patent orgs will bite us in the ass.

    Jeeze! You're not kidding. The group, which includes... International Business Machines Corp., Red Hat Inc. and Sony Corp. IBM? Sony?? What a scam...

  23. Re:Why Don't They Leave the Shuttles Up There, Too on Additional Lab To Be Added To the ISS · · Score: 1

    Yeah really... It'd be kinda like keeping the old pickup truck out back. Some day some old geezer will go out and charge up the battery and see if it fires up.

  24. Re:damage on Amazon Offers To Return Pulled Orwell Ebooks · · Score: 1

    ...damage to their reputation...

    Is there any evidence of that in the numbers? Sony and Microsoft have pretty crappy reputations too, It just doesn't matter when there's not a lot of competition around.
