  1. Of course... on iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass · · Score: 1

    Of course, at 4GB you'd be watching the same 30 minute clip 14 times back to back...

  2. Sabotage on Shutting Down Annoying Recruiters? · · Score: 1

    Ask for their fax number to send over some information. That night, send an infinite fax. Just take like 5 sheets of black construction paper and tape the ends together. Start faxing after business hours. Once the first page comes through, tape it to the last page. When they come in the next morning, their fax machine will be out of paper/toner.

  3. Re:Battery life! Battery life! Battery life??? on Palm Unveils Foleo, Linux-Based "Mobile Companion" · · Score: 3, Informative

    According to the articles I have read on it, it is supposed to get around 5 hours.

  4. Hire one of the millions that aren't criminals... on How Far Should a Job Screening Go? · · Score: 1

    The fact that a larger percentage of people are criminals only makes those of us that choose to obey the law more valuable. Thank you for that...

  5. Re:WTF on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    I'm not arguing against Global Climate Fiery Death (tm), I'm arguing against your argument that just because a majority believes it, then it must be true. I was simply stating that just because the majority believes it doesn't make it so.

  6. Re:WTF on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    No, what I'm really saying is that the majority is not always right.

  7. Re:WTF on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    And we all know that the majority of scientists always know more than the minority. For instance, Galileo was clearly wrong when he speculated that the earth was round. Galileo's "converts" were nothing compared to the number of scientists who DO buy the flat earth argument... Well, at least they used to be...

  8. What a bunch of crap... on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Reading just one of them...

    Climate myths: They predicted global cooling in the 1970s
    "Indeed they did. At least, a handful of scientific papers discussed the possibility of a new ice age at some point in the future..."
    "This scenario was seen as plausible by many other scientists"
    "However, Schneider soon realised he had overestimated the cooling effect of aerosol pollution and underestimated the effect of CO2, meaning warming was more likely than cooling in the long run. In his review of a 1977 book "

    Ok... so remind me how this is a "myth" again? Scientists did predict global cooling in the early seventies, and the idea caught on. The fact that someone disagreed near the end of the seventies doesn't eliminate the fact that they did believe it would happen in the early seventies.

  9. Re:Better Yet... on Videogames Really Are Linked to Violence · · Score: 1

    I'm not a scientist, but I've *killed* one in a video game...

  10. Dyslexia rears its ugly head on Lone Programmer Writes 352 Webcam Drivers For Linux · · Score: 1

    The article says 352...

  11. Re:Sports Wave... on Publishers Scrambling for Wii Titles · · Score: 1

    Tiger Woods golf is already out... as is Wii Sports (which comes with the system...)

  12. Re:Not your father's game console on Video Games Conquer The Elderly · · Score: 1

    I probably wouldn't have gotten that, had my Grandfather not owned an Oldsmobile dealership... I guess I'm a whippersnapper...

  13. eBay on The Wii - Is the Magic Gone? · · Score: 1

    If you want one so badly, suck it up and buy one on eBay. I did that in January, and I've never regretted paying $350 for it. They're going for around $305 now, and that price will only go down as more units flood the market (basic supply/demand)...

  14. Make up your mind... on Blackberry Owners Chained to Work · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Make up your mind... is it "Blackberries" or "Blackberrys". Using both in the same blurb is just irresponsible.

  15. Re:Other needed buttons on Halo 3 To Have 'Mute the Jerk' Button · · Score: 1

    Zelda: Twighlight Princess does this. Hit the minus button on the Wii remote once, and the option to skip appears at the top of the screen. Hit it again, and it skips everything. This only works when they aren't using the cutscene to load the next scene from the disc...

  16. Re:"Windows" versus "A Mac"? on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    Yes, both of us are very angry...

  17. Raises Hand... on IBM to Open Source Novel Identity Protection Software · · Score: 1

    Me. I already tagged it as: notnovell

  18. Yes, that would be GREAT on US Pennies To Be Worth Five Cents? · · Score: 1

    Oh yes... that would be GREAT. Let's say a penny weighs 1 ounce. A dollar would have to weigh 100 ounces, or 6.25 pounds. A hundred would weight 625 pounds. That's all we need...

  19. Re:Err, no. on Elebits and Warioware - Bad Wii and Good Wii · · Score: 1

    Try 1.25 million (just in the US in 2006). I'm sure it's more by now...

    We "cubicle retards" prefer the more PC term "cubetards", you insensitive clod...

  22. Actually... on Month of Apple Fixes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sorry... that acronym is already taken:
    AMOB Anna Maria Oyster Bar (Bradenton, FL)
    AMOB Automatic Meteorological Oceanographic Buoy

    You should try an acronym that is totally original, like:
    Exploits & bugS from aPple moNth

  23. Install a fix not from Apple? Fat Chance on Month of Apple Fixes · · Score: 0

    I don't care who this guy is... I'm not downloading "fixes" for my iMac from anyone but Apple:
    Steps to Recreate
    1. Go to MOAB site, record exploit info
    2. Create malicious version of exploit
    3. Post to web as a "fix" and tell users to blindly install

    Thanks, but I'd prefer to maintain ownership of my machine...
