  1. That was light on any details. on How LinkedIn's Project Inversion Saved the Company · · Score: 1

    I know how to cook a ribeye to clog my arteries but I don't know exactly what they did in any detail other that "concentrate on infrastructure."

    Not sure what I was expecting from BusinessWeek though.

  2. Re:Not an EA fan but on SimCity 5: How Not To Design a Single Player Game · · Score: 1

    Do you honestly think they programmed it to calculate efficiently? They had deadlines to meet and game play issues to work out.

  3. Traditional business methods. on Reason On How and Why 38 Studios Went Bust · · Score: 1

    Make the Risk Public, Make the Reward Private.

    Also, never make a movie with your own money.

  4. Re:UK HDs seem to be down to 2011 prices on SSD Prices Continue 3-Year Plunge · · Score: 3, Funny

    I read that as "tranny" and it was much funnier.

  5. Re:Yikes... on High-Voltage Fences For Zapping Would-Be Copper Thieves · · Score: -1, Troll

    Just so you know, Mythbusters busted that myth.

    But keep telling the story.

  6. The Cloud makes everything awesome! on Amazon EBS Failure Brings Down Reddit, Imgur, Others · · Score: 1

    These sites load so much faster.

    Is storage that expensive or is it the bandwidth costs associated with them?

  7. The internet dies by a 1000 cuts on Saudi Arabia Calls For Global Internet Censorship Body · · Score: 1

    A little here, a little there. Soon enough you have to show you have paid your media and news tax and registered your RealID before being allowed online.

  8. Re:No worries on Court Finds In Favor of Libraries In Google Books Affair · · Score: 5, Funny

    For all intensive porpoises the metaphor was the pick of the kitten kaboodle, a grade A choice cut of chicken.

  9. Prosecutor looking to make a career or and example on Feds Add 9 Felony Charges Against Swartz For JSTOR Hack · · Score: 2

    This feels like over reaching on the prosecutor's part. Maybe to force a plea.

    I thought it would be hard to screw up a case like the Casey Anthony trial but Prosecutors looking to make a reputation can surprise you by going to trial and not making a deal.

    I understand his position on open data but it was the absolute wrong way to go about it.

  10. L. Ron Hubbard and writers in the same sentence? on Sci-Fi Writers of the Past Predict Life In 2012 · · Score: 2

    With a straight face?

    Money trying to buy a reputation does not turn a crappy SF writer into a good one.

  11. Because Wipeout is better on What's Wrong With American Ninja Warrior? · · Score: 1

    Honestly. Its funnier and has a better T&A factor.

    Who wants to see something that takes itself too seriously? I'll watch the Olympics for that.

  12. Wasn't Numb3rs cancelled? on Travelling Salesman, Thriller Set In a World Where P=NP · · Score: 0

    How long is this movie and will it have keen illuminating animated diagrams?

  13. Re:Gnome 3 on Tom's Hardware Tests and Reviews Fedora 16 and Gnome 3 · · Score: 1

    What part of "linux text" did you mistype?

  14. Re:I approve on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 1

    Its not the size of the dick, but the power behind it.

  15. Re:last chance to be an anonymous coward on Canadian Govt To Introduce Massive Internet Surveillance Law · · Score: 1

    I find signing an internet petition as useful as praying for a cure.

  16. Time to bring in the dogs to get rid of the cats.. on Pentagon: 30,000 Pound Bomb Too Small · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    That got rid of the mice. Soon we will be at Elephants getting rid of lions.

  17. Re:Webcams too on Big Brother In the Home Office · · Score: 2

    I would. Because I would not be working via that freelancing website. You want a job done, I will do it. You want to watch me do it? rate goes up x10.

    I think housing contractors have a similar fee structure.

  18. This makes my skin crawl on TSA's VIPR Bites Rail, Bus, and Ferry Passengers · · Score: 2

    This is contrary to everything I believe in.

  19. I joined LinkedIn the same way on Facebook Is Building Shadow Profiles of Non-Users · · Score: 1

    I already a searchable stub of my name and places I had worked. I guess they mined corporate websites and mailing lists over the years.

  20. Moral outrage fight! on Dutch ISP Files Police Complaint Against Spamhaus · · Score: 2

    GO!

    Seriously, anti-spam organizations tend to be as self righteous as born-again and on the wagon alcoholic evangelists.

    Isn't it time to kill email?

  21. So this is why RedHat jumped on OpenStack Spun Out From Rackspace Control · · Score: 1

    Buying Gluster moves them in with OpenStack.

    Committing to an open structure makes it so RedHat buys Gluster.

    Beneficial all around.

  22. orly? on SAIC Loses Data of 4.9 Million Patients · · Score: 0

    srsly?

    /now I hate myself as much as you hate me for this post.

  23. Wait, why isn't this a Packt Press review? on Book Review: Digital Evidence and Computer Crime · · Score: 0

    Did Academic press pony up or is this a real book report someone wrote?

  24. Re:I've seen people die... on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 1

    I like listening to the machine that goes ping as is slows down further and further.

  25. Re:I've seen people die... on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 1

    That makes for some really expensive urine.
