    WTF are you guys talking about? Are we gonna fly drones around and toss nets on these guys or attack them like John Travolta in Battlefield Earth? Come on, be reasonable, it's fucking war, choose your side and die for it.

    You really think these bastards who fight for Iraq expect to be flown back to the states, they are prepared to die for it or they are dumber than I could imagine.

  2. I'd hope so. on Federal Agents Quietly Using Social Media · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you are making your information publicly available, wouldn't you expect your government to take advantage of it?

    Hint: Don't accept friend requests from someone named, Uncle Sam, Uncle Sammy, or that super model that wants to know where you live and were Saturday night between 10pm and 2 am.

    Oh and don't tweet if you're gonna lie about it later to police.

  3. Chuch of Highlander on Jobcentre Apologizes For Anti-Jedi Discrimination · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean I can carry a sword too!?

  4. Cost effective? on Here Come the Linux iPad Clones · · Score: 1

    The eReaders paved the way, but if they drop down in price to say 75 bucks, which is going to be more useful? I'd rather use the book for a Reader, leave my GPS in the car (or use my iPhone) than use this. Very neat product but I think the average person will get a reader if they want a reader, and a netbook & iPhone if they want apps without the monthly cost addition..

    I'm sure it will eventually balance out and be useful.

  5. Re:So you're saying that superman... on DR Congo Ring May Be Giant Impact Crater · · Score: 0, Troll

    or he ran out of aborted fetus's while MID flight.

    YES, South Park is real life.

  6. Indiana Jones on DR Congo Ring May Be Giant Impact Crater · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This isn't breaking news Indiana Jones came out two years ago, wtf.

  7. Wellllllll on NY To Replace IT Vendors With State Workers · · Score: 1

    I'd assume most of these are helpdesk jobs anyway.. so this might be just fine for positions like that. But for anything more technical or requiring expertise I image they will keep full time on site support. Or feel the results of Temp workers when a "critical" to them system crashes.

  8. DANG TPS Reports.. on Pennsylvania CISO Fired Over Talk At RSA Conference · · Score: 2, Funny

    Must have not got the memo..

  9. Re:Guess no music games then on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    Because you wanted to play a 10 minute Rock Band song? That's a lot of star power.

  10. Racist. on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 3, Funny

    Salt is white, clearly this is legislation in support of hate crimes.

  11. Re:It's a freakin' PHONE on Multitasking In For iPhone 4.0? · · Score: 1

    YEAH! Why have a cell phone.. I think there are pay phone things somewhere... I saw one on Superman.

  12. until tethering on Apple Blocking iPhone Security Software · · Score: 1

    It is almost zero until they enable tethering.

    Oh wait, that won't happen either.

  13. Re:that sort of makes sense on Google Charges ETF For Nexus One On Top of Carrier's · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well okay, so you're saying I should be blaming Google for not taking the hit, rather than Verizon, gotcha.

    I think if that is the case though, Google made a bad move with Verizon, they should've learned from AT&T's dealings with Apple. But I think that Verizon just might be hiding behind Google on this one.. It doesn't seem right at all.

  14. Re:that sort of makes sense on Google Charges ETF For Nexus One On Top of Carrier's · · Score: 1

    It might make sense, but is AT&T doing this?

    No, so, if AT&T can do it, then Verizon can eat it too.

  15. I already canceled on Star Trek Online Open Beta Starts Today · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I wanted to play space games with the pewpew ships I would reenable my EVE account in one of the 10,000 e-mails I get from CCP telling me that their new expansions is amazing but hasn't solved the lag problem.

  16. OH NOs! on Details On Natal's Motion Capture Technology · · Score: 1

    So now my xbox is taking pictures of kids!

    Everyone panic, child pr0n! Xbox works for TSA!!

  17. Won't matter. on Cellphone Radiation May Protect Brain From Alzheimers · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter, if you talk on a cell phone you will die in a car crash AND murder someone. I saw it on tv, clearly I won't have time to get Alzheimer's.

  18. Blocked != Blocked on Do IT Pros Abuse Their Power? · · Score: 1

    Does it really matter if these sites are blocked or not blocked by the IT guys? Most of the time, they can get around it anyway.

    I used to browse the net on a junk Windows FTP server all the time because it fell in a different DMZ without the restrictions. This was sometimes legit, because we block a lot of file downloads that I needed for work anyway... but I might've snuck in some Penny Arcade.. MAYBE.

  19. Hoopla! on Do Your Developers Have Local Admin Rights? · · Score: 1

    Most of you are right, dev's don't need admin rights to run their code.. but wtf, they should test this on test accounts anyway.. and it's a hell of a lot easier to install applets and whatnot to help you code when you have admin access..

  20. Meh on Google About Openness · · Score: 1

    Why do we hold Google to a higher standard? Would any other company 1/2 their size share 1/3 as much as they do? No.

    I heart you G00gl3. xoxo.

  21. NOOO on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Shaming Fat Gamers · · Score: 2

    NO SMOKING NEAR MY XBOX 720! You will void the warranty with their built in smoke detector!

  22. Re:Broad definition on iPhone Has 46% of Japanese Smartphone Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it includes every device, wouldn't it be much harder for the iPhone to obtain 46%, so this would be a much more impressive achievement? I'd have to think that they narrowed the definition down for this study, to give them a much higher share than one might think..

  23. Re:Where's the beef, er iPhones... on iPhone Has 46% of Japanese Smartphone Market · · Score: 1

    Regardless how accurate it is, 46% or anything remotely close to that; it is a huge share considering release for the iPhone was in 2008 for Asia Japan... Release info

    I don't understand, this should be a good thing...

    I kill those DirkaDirka bastards all the time when they are staring at laptops, so I can call another UAV. I mean seriously, how else am I gonna to the Tactical Nuke...
