  1. Re:Does the Amiga OS on Timberwolf (Firefox) Beta For AmigaOS · · Score: 1

    the 2.5GHz processor would be expected to boot faster than the 25MHz system, but in actual fact the 25MHz 68040 Classic Amiga A4000 will boot in 1 minute *or*less*...

    And my laptop and desktop come out of sleep in like 3 seconds. Whoop-de-doo for your Amiga.

  2. Re:Why no movies in Australia? on Google Unifies Media, Apps Into Google Play · · Score: 2

    Because the dingo ate your baby.

  3. Re:much more than 20 years on 20th Anniversary of Michelangelo Virus Scare · · Score: 1

    Yes was dialup internet in 1992. Now get back to your nap, gramps.

  4. Re:I approve on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 2

    Because someone gets assaulted, someone has a seizure, etc and police/ems are needed? And why did you construct this "private 911 call" nonsense? Who said anything about it being private?

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

    What you do is put in some earplugs and ignore them. Not act like a passive aggressive douche and block communication for everyone. This just in: you have no right to not be annoyed.

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

    Yeah and the side effect of it blocking the person trying to make a wireless 911 call. Who cares about the innocents caught in this, right?

  7. Re:They're illegal? on Cell Phone Jamming Devices Enjoy an Increase In Popularity · · Score: 2

    It's illegal for private use without a permit from the FCC and law enforcement can only use them in certain circumstances.

  8. Re:Computing is mostly mature sector on Cloud To Create 14 Million Jobs? Not So Much · · Score: 1

    but till then all we'll get are bubbles like Apple or Facebook.

    How exactly is Apple a bubble? Showing off your bias a bit much?

  9. Re:CmdrTaco is a hip arbiter of tech trends? on Rob Malda (CmdrTaco) Joins the Washington Post · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah it took all of two years to go from nothing to holding 90% of the market share. What total failure on Apple's part.

  10. Re:why evoting machines on Voting System Test Hack Elects Futurama's Bender To School Board · · Score: 1

    Because an unemployed hipster with 10 years of Ruby experience needed work?

  11. Re:"managed to guess the login details" on Voting System Test Hack Elects Futurama's Bender To School Board · · Score: 4, Funny

    This was a system created by Rubyists. They don't understand security because that's a "low-level detail" they can't be arsed to learn.

  12. Re:Why is there throttling in the first place? on After Complaints, AT&T Solidifies, Increases Data Limit · · Score: 1

    You do have unlimited data as your connection is not shut off. They just don't guarantee an unlimited connection at the highest speed and they are quite upfront about it. Yes, the limit is low and it's shit but this argument of "but it says unlimited!" as if somehow AT&T is lying to you about the terms is just nonsense.

  13. Re:*sniff* *sniff* on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 2

    You would have a point if not for the fact that he has stories about them saying the same thing that predate the existence of Wikileaks. The only people sniffling are the nerds who are butthurt that Assange and Anonymous were wrong.

  14. Re:Yeah sure. on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Translation: I didn't read the article. He links to stories that were written years ago about Stratfor. So those were all written years in advance for this moment? Are you really that stupid?

  15. Re:What does one do when intel data is compromised on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 0

    So that's how he was able to link to stories that are years old to dispute the claims? You're attempts to spin this are pathetic. Wikileaks and Anonymous are wrong about these people so just learn to face the facts.

  16. Re:Counter-counter-counter spin on Is Stratfor a "Joke"? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How is it spin? The guy quotes articles and facts that are easily verified to show that Stratfor is not what it has been claimed to be by a well-known media whore. The only spin is coming from people who can't stand that Wikileaks could be blowing this out of proportion.

  17. Re:Why not PC + 360? on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 0

    No serious game company uses the OpenGL implementation to make games.

  18. Re:Doesn't matter on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 1

    This just in: companies do not manufacture products forever.

  19. Re:Doesn't matter on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 1

    This just in: they didn't promise you anything. That you think they did proves how naive you are. Show me your binding legal document in which they made the "promise" and you would actually have something.

  20. Re:Doesn't matter on Sony Ditching Cell Architecture For Next PlayStation? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Of which none of it had to do with the Linux crowd, or the DRM whining if you had actually read the article. Weak economic times, supply disruptions and a strong yen is behind this not people protesting over Linux on the PS3.

  21. Re:North Korea is a Utopia on North Korea Agrees To Suspend Nuclear Activities · · Score: 1

    So that explains why you moved to North Korea years ago?

  22. Re:Everything is different [Re:Still in violation] on North Korea Agrees To Suspend Nuclear Activities · · Score: 1

    Most notably, Kim Jong-un was born nearly thirty years after the Korean war. His viewpoint on politics is going to be vastly different than the previous generation.

    Because you think his family didn't indoctrinate him into their views?

  23. Re:Remote ejecting on Torvalds Calls OpenSUSE Security 'Too Intrusive' · · Score: 1

    And how often does a typical user have someone SSHed into their laptop? I'm betting next to never so the defaults should reflect that.

  24. Re:Still in violation on North Korea Agrees To Suspend Nuclear Activities · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's so cute that you think they'll will actually use this food for anything but feeding the military and the government people or to sell it for money. You do realize that dictators routinely lie about these things, right?
