  1. Wrong and wronger on Teach Your Router New Tricks With DD-WRT · · Score: 0

    The summary says dd-wrt will "breath new life" into my router. Breath is a noun, breathe is a verb. God. Damn.

  2. Re:Why didn't I think of this!? on Spectrophotometer Analysis of Crayons · · Score: 1

    I work in color chemistry too. I'd like to get excited about this article but it just reminds me of work and I start wondering about what the variation is in the individual colors between different boxes, or what the difference is between these same colors in the markers from the same manufacturer.

  3. Not much of an article on Anti-Rootkit Security Beyond the OS · · Score: 1

    What a waste of bits. The article didn't talk about much more than what was in the summary.

  4. Re:Planned obsolescence treadmill accelerating on Gut-Check Time For Windows 8, Microsoft · · Score: 0

    I think plenty of us have suffered enough from the ribbon in MS Office. Why don't you chill out?

  5. Re:Full Kernel without C* on 'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System · · Score: 1

    Exactly. At least projects like Haiku are self-hosting.

  6. Can't even get the name right on 'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System · · Score: 4, Informative

    The project is called Cosmos.

    Great idea! Little Johnny is failing math, but he can tweet like a motherfucker now!

    Do you think Apple makes their money off of iDevices?-- or Amazon makes their money off of Kindles?

  11. Re:Maybe on Making Fuel With Newspapers and Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Thank you so much for making that connection. I hadn't thought of it that way.

  12. Maybe on Making Fuel With Newspapers and Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it save more energy to not print so much useless paper in the first place?

  13. Re:Musicians on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    Gozer's the only candidate who could actually get elected.

  14. Re:Musicians on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    You forgot that George W Bush is at the same time the stupidest person in the world AND smart enough to be the mastermind behind Katrina, 9/11, the oil crisis, global warming, the Columbia space shuttle's explosion, earthquakes, etc.

  15. More products for consumers on Amazon's Android Tablet Expected This Fall · · Score: 1

    Does anyone make a tablet that allows you to create things like music/art/literature? It seems like the tablet's I've seen on the market are all designed to push their app store or media store or whatever the fuck else kind of store. Maybe everyone doesn't want to spend their free time buying things.

  16. Re:This is why! on Samsung Cites 2001: A Space Odyssey In Apple Patent Case · · Score: 1

    You're right--everyone else's brand of piss is so much better. Flavor is a distant second to price in beer choice.

  17. Most people? on Most People Have Never Heard of CTRL+F · · Score: 1

    Isn't it safe to say that most people in the world don't own computers? Maybe this article should be titled "Most Users Have Never Heard of CTRL+F".

  19. Re:Converting them into Bitcoin miners on Obama Administration Closing Recently Opened Datacenters · · Score: 1

    You never know, bitcoins might end up worth more than dollars in the next few years.

    Thanks for adding so much to the conversation.

  22. Re:If Anonymous is in any way sucessful on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's a false flag...that would make sense.

  23. Re:While Anonymous are a bunch of dicks... on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    What are they right about? That facebook sells your data? Most people that use facebook know that already, and if Anon thinks that people shouldn't be able to choose to let someone sell their data, then they are assholes for trying to tell other people what to do.

    Thank God the internet was invented so we could subsequently invent philosophy, engineering, science and literature.

    The people who complain that things were better in the past are the ones who don't remember the past very well.
