  1. Giving up the essential for the trivial on Project Free TV, YIFY, PrimeWire Blocked In the UK · · Score: 5, Insightful

    These companies exist because the public allows it. The public is getting nothing but censorship out of the bargain, giving these companies carte blanche to do whatever they please to the internet. The world is caving to the slightest whims of an industry that we would survive just fine without.

  2. Those who live by the sword... on iPhone 4, iPad 2 Get US Import Ban · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wish karma were a real thing.

  3. His running mate will be Koch Industries on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 5, Funny

    Corporations are people too!

  4. But Romney talks to aliens from Kolob on Majority of Americans Think Obama Is Better Suited To Handle an Alien Invasion · · Score: 1

    Surely Romney would be better suited for alien contact, since he already prays to God and Jesus, who are in fact aliens from Kolob as this informative video demonstrates.

  5. Too little, too late on Diablo 3 Banhammer Dropped Just Before RMAH Goes Live · · Score: 2

    Between the hacks, single player lag, gold and material replication, and lack of content, I've just had it, which is why I got a refund.

  6. Freelance chemistry on Ask Slashdot: Teaching Chemistry To Home-Schooled Kids? · · Score: 1

    I hear there's a lot of money to be made at home as a freelance chemist. Looks like he should be able to pull a good bit of coin.

  7. Re:Bigoted language on South Korea Surrenders To Creationist Demands On Evolution Textbooks · · Score: 1

    until you can propose a better alternative then it seems we're stuck with "belief" language.

    What about "accept"? Facts do not require belief.

  8. Bigoted language on South Korea Surrenders To Creationist Demands On Evolution Textbooks · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Silence is not the answer, says Dayk Jang. He is now organizing a group of experts, including evolutionary scientists and theologians who believe in evolution

    We're never going to get anywhere if even an article that supports science uses this kind of bigoted language. Do scientists "believe in" gravity? Do scientists "believe in" relativity?

  9. Concept of "pornography" on What Should We Do About Wikipedia's Porn Problem? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the very concept of pornography go against the core reasons for Wikipedia's existence?

  10. Re:Or what? on NASA To Future Lunar Explorers: Don't Mess With Our Moon Stuff · · Score: 1

    Landing stuff takes so much more effort! Gravity is a bitch.

  11. Federalist Papers on Legislation In New York To Ban Anonymous Speech Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    Good thing we didn't have laws like this when the Federalist Papers were written.

  12. Need to come up with a final solution for piracy! on BSA Claims Half of PC Users Are Pirates · · Score: 2

    Clearly, the solution is to incarcerate 60% of the population, or at least monitor all their activities, North Korea style.

  13. Re:Ok, scratch that business plan... on LightSquared Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 0

    It could also be

    1) Come up with profitable idea that threatens business models of crooked, incumbent telecoms
    2) Incumbent telecoms pay off people that do the studies and claim that your product will kill people and end life as we know it and kick puppies
    3) Be forced into bankruptcy because you don't have that kind of political clout

  14. No purpose? You sure about that? on Some USAF Pilots Refuse To Fly F-22 Raptor · · Score: 2

    There is no purpose, no mission in Afghanistan or Iraq, unless you believe that al Qaeda is going to have a fleet of aircraft

    But there are companies with lucrative military contracts in Iraq, so it has a purpose for someone.

  15. Re:What kind of world... on Facebook 'Likes' Aren't Protected Speech · · Score: 5, Funny
    Planet AMURICA.

    Corporations are people too, so suck it, you godless socialist atheist communist fascist Islamist!

  16. If movies had originally filmed at 48 FPS on Hobbit Film Underwhelms At 48 Frames Per Second · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Everyone would say 24 FPS looked like old cell phone videos. The only reason people don't like high framerates is because that's what they were trained "cinema" should look like.

  17. "We own all photons reflected from these events!" on Posting Photos of Olympics Could Land You In Court · · Score: 2

    This is the craziest shit I ever heard

  18. Piracy is fast becoming a civic duty on Judge Rules Takedown of Pirate Party General Proxy Illegal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Clearly the anti-piracy outfits have no respect for the law; perhaps people should start doing what they can to quit funding them.

  19. Self defense? on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know how you can both pursue someone against the advice of a 911 operator and claim self-defense.

  20. Re:Few to admit it, but a lot of parents teach thi on Internet Responds To Racist Article, Gets Author Fired · · Score: 5, Funny

    If a black scholar wrote an article on how to keep the white man's hands out of your pockets, would they also get fired?

    I don't know if they'd get fired, but I'd be interested in reading the article. Between the bailouts and the wars, white men have quite a few hands in my pockets.

  21. Too obvious, EA; trying to hard on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 1

    They're really trying to spin their "Worst Company in America" award as homophobia. It's obvious to anyone with half a brain that homophobia isn't the reason. Nice try with the ad hominems, EA.

  22. Re:Higher profits on Dysfunctional Console Industry Struggles For New Profit Centers · · Score: 1

    at one point someone decided to challenge the Madden franchise by offering a $20 alternative

    And they paid for it dearly. I was looking forward to NFL 2K on the PC, too.

    Fuck EA

  23. He looks like he's up to no good? on NBC Apologizes For Editing Zimmerman 911 Call · · Score: 1

    Better fire a couple warning shots into his chest just in case.

  24. Would make for some interesting kids' books on Google Using ReCAPTCHA To Decode Street Addresses · · Score: 2

    I do not like green eggs and FUCK
    I do not like FUCK Sam I am

  25. If I just type out the necessary word... on Google Using ReCAPTCHA To Decode Street Addresses · · Score: 2

    What happens to the other part? Does google keep recycling it until it has multiples of the same answer? Can we all agree on a word for the addresses just to have some fun with google?
