  1. They're regulating the corporations, not the 'net on House Votes To Overturn FCC On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Just thought I'd share this in case you run into any anti-neutrality people. Net neutrality is the regulation of corporations, not content. Net neutrality rules seek to bar corporations from tampering with content.

  2. Let's just put Manson in charge of women's issues on Key Music Industry Lawyer Named EU Copyright Chief · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously, why do they keep putting people in charge who only see one side of the issues? Why even have the position at all?

    Wouldn't it just be easier to just come out and say "We are the puppets of the copyright industry and we will go with whatever they say". It's honest, to the point, and everyone knows where they stand.

  3. How bout a tax on active people? on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    Their joint problems and accidents are going to cost medicaid just as much.

  4. Replace their respective pages with a message on Yahoo! Liable In Italy For Searchable Content · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Dear Customer of Yahoo/Google/Bing,
    Recently, it has come to our attention that a group of copyright holders with a lot of sway in your legal system have managed to convince your government to force us to hand-pick every link we index. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution. As such, we are no longer providing search services to your country. Good luck!

    Hope to hear from you again soon if your government changes its mind!

  5. Can we hold the federal govt to the same standard? on Google Faces Privacy Audits For Next 20 Years · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling they're retaining a lot more unnecessary information than google.

  6. Re:You want to know who rigs benchmarks? on AMD Challenges NVIDIA To Graphics Throw-Down · · Score: 1

    Money speaks louder than words. And that Nvidia logo stamped all over their website, game box, and every time you start the game didn't come cheaply. I think the "AMD has bad drivers" theory seems a lot less likely.

  7. CIA vs. FTC: What do they want? on Microsoft To FTC: Don't Tell Us How Long To Retain User Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    CIA wants them to store it for eternity. FTC wants them to get rid of it ASAP. Make up your mind, The Government!

  8. You want to know who rigs benchmarks? on AMD Challenges NVIDIA To Graphics Throw-Down · · Score: 1

    Take a look at HAWX 2, the only game in the universe where a GTX 460 beats a 6990

  9. If only there was a way for both sides to lose on Cable Channels Panic Over iPad Streaming App · · Score: 1

    Best ending.

  10. Off to the USPTO I go! on Apple Sues Amazon.com Over App Store Trademark · · Score: 3

    Since we can trademark our stores based on what we sell, I'm off to trademark hardware store, clothing store, electronics store, video game store, grocery store, and music store.

  11. AT&T reminds me of Terminator 2 on Why the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Is Bad For Consumers · · Score: 3, Funny

    You freeze it, break it to pieces, and over a small amount of time it melts and re-forms itself to continue the assault.
    Where's a vat of molten steel when you need it?

  12. Re:Yep.... on UN Intervention Begins In Libya · · Score: 1

    I think they mean "NO FOREIGN INTERVENTION. Libyan military units can slaughter dissidents alone".

  13. Summary is too long on How Is Obama Doing On Open Government? · · Score: 2

    implementation of improved Freedom of Information Act policies has lagged

    That's all we needed to know.

  14. Just make a felony to have tethering w/o paying on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    I mean, it's already illegal to listen to a song or watch a movie without paying. Why not make free tethering illegal as well? In fact, make everything that big corporations don't like a felony.

  15. Re:That's Idiotic. on Airbus Faces Charges Over 2009 Rio-Paris Crash · · Score: 1

    Just like it's unfair to kids to lose their dad to prison amirite

  16. What if they were treated like real people? on Airbus Faces Charges Over 2009 Rio-Paris Crash · · Score: 0

    Do like you would with real people. Give the company "jail" time. Don't let them buy or sell for three years.

  17. AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? on US Reneges On SWIFT Agreement · · Score: 2

    Seems our government uses the above response quite often when questioned by the international community.

  18. Doesn't that go contrariwise to this story? on Obama Calls For New Privacy Bill of Rights · · Score: 0
  19. Prey! on Trailers for Arkham City, Prey 2, Prototype 2 · · Score: 2

    I can't wait to run up walls and pass through vaginal doors!

  20. I want to be governed by Google on Google Draws Fire From Congress · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'll trade our entire government for one run Google-style. They're better at foreign relations. They're better at having a balanced budget. They know how to treat people fairly. They know how not to waste everyone's time on ridiculous litigation that nobody (except their competitors) is calling for, especially when there's a shitton of far more pressing issues at hand. There are also corporations that behave much, much worse than google.

    Are you reading this, Google? Get on it.

  21. Hackers can turn your home computer into a bomb! on Hacking a Car With Music · · Score: 4, Funny
  22. Nobody takes advantage of you without permission on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 1

    I used to get frustrated with semi-distant relatives or not-so-close friends. Now I just charge them. You'd be surprised at how willing people are to pay the rates you ask. If they don't like my rates, they always have some fourteen year old nephew they can bug.

  23. His Wikipedia entry is a bit sparse, too on Trumpet Winsock Creator Made Little Money · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Tattam

    This is most unfortunate.

  24. Re:In a free country on Student Sues FBI For Planting GPS Tracker · · Score: 1

    inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their Form of Government in such manner as they may deem expedient."

    What's sad is that if you reveal any plans to reform, alter, or abolish the government, you'll get put on CIA/FBI watch list and won't be able to board a plane in the U.S.

  25. Well, let's weigh their motivations on Should Cyber Vigilantes Be Cheered Or Feared · · Score: 2

    I fear people who want to take away life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness of those who expose truth.

    I cheer people who support truth-bearers any way they can.

    So I cheer the vigilantes.
