  1. Re:and in vancover they riot over losing a NHL gam on BART Disables Cell Service To Disrupt Protests · · Score: 1

    BAH! In Chicago they riot when the team wins!

    Hi! I'm Captain Jack!

    Hi, Jack!

  3. Re:You Are The Product on Fake Names On Social Networks, a Fake Problem · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a few corner cases, but they can use something else.

    Or they can use FB and G+ as they see fit, regardless of their terms. And you certainly are in no position to dictate whether a person needs a 'reason' to remain anonymous.

  4. Re:It has been seen before on Google Pulls Plug On Programming For the Masses · · Score: 1

    Anyone who still does anything serious with Google's products kind of deserves it.

    Ya.. exactly. Google is completely untrustworthy. What they may accomplish through all of this is to get some more patents under its belt to lock up the market just a little bit more.

  5. "Linux on the desktop" on Old Arguments May Cost Linux the Desktop · · Score: 1

    It's like expecting hobbyist ham radio operators to take over the broadcasting industry

  6. Re:13,000mph? on DARPA Set To Blast Falcon Mach 20 Test Flight · · Score: 0

    Speed of sound generally increases with altitude.

    Back to school for you... Mach is related to air density. Sound moves faster through air that is more dense. I'll let you figure out the rest.

  7. Re:Drinking wanter? on Drought-Stricken Texas Town Taps Urine For Water · · Score: 0

    ...a desalination plant on the coast and pumping the water long distances. Although drinking purified water from the ocean doesn't have the ick factor of drinking pee, it requires a lot of energy and causes much more environmental damage compared to water recycling...

    Yes.. Lord help us if there's a spill and any of that fresh water leaks onto the ground. It would be a catastrophe.

  8. Re:What? on Start-Up Claims Immortality For Data With 'Stone-Like' Disc · · Score: 2

    How'd that happen?

  9. Re:What? on Start-Up Claims Immortality For Data With 'Stone-Like' Disc · · Score: 1

    See, it's called sarcasm.

    Well, speaking of which.. I mean, I'm sure you're responding to something perfectly serious

    Office 364

  13. Re:Just like the "war on drugs" on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People will find new ways to transport and hide/encrypt their files.

    Nobody cares about that. The whole idea here is to give new pretense to to spy on people and knock their doors down. Make everybody subject to arrest and their equipment subject to seizure. Yeah, just like the war on drugs, which is still proving to be very profitable, so don't expect much change there.

  14. The world is still at war over ancient bullshit on World Wide Web Turns 20 Today · · Score: 1

    Please, do tell, what exactly has changed?

  15. Re:WTF that wasn't supposed to happen!? on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 0

    Nice rationalizations you got there.. I heard them all before.. a little over 45 years ago..

  16. Re:WTF that wasn't supposed to happen!? on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 0

    Yeah, Obama started 1 useless war, so I guess that makes him only half as bad. Of course he has the power to end all the wars, but we don't want to discuss that..

  17. Re:WTF that wasn't supposed to happen!? on United States Loses S&P AAA Credit Rating · · Score: 1

    Well, the obvious solution is to chop a hole in the floor and let the water drain out so you don't need anymore buckets. But then the government will come along and tell you that you're interfering with interstate commerce and will force you to buy buckets anyway.. that or bucket insurance...

  18. Learn the basics on What Today's Coders Don't Know and Why It Matters · · Score: 1

    It's just like pilots should learn how to fly before being put at the helm of an airliner.

  19. Re:Cost? on DOE Announces Philips As L Prize Winner · · Score: 1

    In the EU, where incandescents are illegal to sell...

    That's insane. How do they keep the oil warm enough to start their cars in the morning?

  20. Re:Not really a free speech ruling on Court: Domain Seizures Don't Violate Free Speech · · Score: 1

    Probably in the same part that allows the law to abridge 'commercial' and 'obscene' speech.. It's written with invisible ink that only a judge can see..

  21. Re:Easy solution on Are 'Real Names' Policies an Abuse of Power? · · Score: 2

    Even easier solution

    Use a real sounding fake name..

    If you want to communicate a message far and wide, you do what you can to get it out.

  22. Re:Will PageRank be opensourced on Google Accuses Competitors of Abusing Patents Against Android · · Score: 1

    Opensourcing spyware is probably not a wise strategy.

    Google is the new Claria/Gator

  23. Re:Seriously on Google Accuses Competitors of Abusing Patents Against Android · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to just knock 'em unconscious and put a dead hooker in their room?

    Very... in fact extremely... Actually it's impossible.. but don't take my word for it
