  1. Re:Mugabe on Wikileaks and Democracy In Zimbabwe · · Score: 1

    Do they have oil in that country?

  2. Re:Esperanto on Chinese Written Language To Dominate Internet · · Score: 1

    That argument is a good reason for everyone to never try anything new.

    At one point in time everyone used IE6, so there's no reason to try something else.

  3. Re:Esperanto on Chinese Written Language To Dominate Internet · · Score: 1

    I prefer this language myself -

    https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Lojban

    Greatly appeals to my nerdy side.

  4. Uh... on Chinese Written Language To Dominate Internet · · Score: 1, Informative

    ""In the beginning, the language of the World Wide Web was English.

    Times change though, and the United States' military's gift to civilization"

    The WWW was not US's military gift to civilisation. The internet =/= WWW. The author appears to use them interchangeably..

  5. Re:Secret video of center's interior on Apple's $1 Billion Data Center Mystery · · Score: 0

    Brainwashing facilities for anti-apple people?

  6. Re:it's the software, stupid on Ubuntu Powered Tablet Spotted! · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu has an app store as well. There are educational games and educational stuff.

    There's a 'flavour' of Ubuntu called "Edubuntu" which is designed for classrooms.

  7. Re:Somewhat pointless, without a tablet UI on Ubuntu Powered Tablet Spotted! · · Score: 1

    Netbook edition wasn't designed for a big screen... it was designed for Netbooks.

    I dunno, when I saw it originally I thought they designed it specifically for touchscreens - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ubuntu_netbook_remix_beta.jpg

    Looks to be allright for a tablet.

  8. Re:Why? on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    What a great idea.

    And please, tell me what happens if the only carrier in that area is my current ISP?
    Or if all the large ISPs agree that P2P is bad because the RIAA/MPAA slips them a few dollars?

    Then what do we do :) ?

  9. Re:Of course on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Gov't regulating lead-free drinking water is not an attack on liberty."

    But government fluoridation of drinking water is a communist plan to weaken our essence.

  10. I know who's to blame on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    I know who's to blame. Its those anonymous types again!

  11. This is good news! on Auditors Question TSA's Tech Spending, Security Solutions · · Score: 1

    I'm very happy that Auditors are Questioning TSA's tech spending...

    I mean, they're only a few months after slashdotters, the general public, and pretty much anyone except the idiots who made the devices.

  12. Its not so simple on Is Reading Spouse's E-Mail a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Its not that simple.

    For a start you need to do it at night in a dimly lit room
    There needs to be a lamp in front of your face
    You need to bend your back slightly

    And always remember that security systems have 'speed-typing tests' built into them. You have to type really really fast.

    Gloves and sunglasses are optional,

  13. Look on the bright side. on EFF Offers an Introduction To Traitorware · · Score: 1

    At least the missiles they'll fire at you won't be made using itunes. Since its against the license agreement.

  14. Do we need more words? on EFF Offers an Introduction To Traitorware · · Score: 2

    "EFF will be there to fight it [Traitorware]. We believe that your software and devices should not be a tool for gathering your personal data without your explicit consent.'"

    This sounds a lot like spyware. Why do we need a new word?

  15. Next up! on If the FCC Had Regulated the Internet From the Start · · Score: 1

    "If the Government had regulated the roads from the start!"

    Meh, what a poorly written and scaremongering article.

  16. Real World HTML 5 Benchmark? on A Real World HTML 5 Benchmark · · Score: 2

    Strangely enough I don't think bots which smack into each other and have collision sensors are very much real world. I don't plan on using my browser to animate bots colliding into each other in the forseeable future...

  17. Congrats /. on Crookes, RIAA, MPAA, ICE — 'Linking Is Publishing' · · Score: 1

    You have published 5 articles with this one :)

  18. Curses! on White House Warns of Supercomputer Arms Race · · Score: 3, Funny

    We cannot allow a Supercomputer gap!

  19. Re:Ebenezer Scrooge and the Rules of Acquisition? on A Klingon Christmas Carol · · Score: 1

    I would totally watch that.

  20. Oh look... on RIAA, MPAA Recruit MasterCard As Internet Police · · Score: 1

    Guess we didn't need net neutrality after all. Guess the free market will always find a way to take down internet sites if it wants to.

    I knew this would happen.

  21. Re:Tiny Tim? on A Klingon Christmas Carol · · Score: 4, Funny

    They should have made Scrooge a Ferengi - and instead the three Klingon ghosts beat the crap out of him. Would be much more realistic.

  22. Sigh on A Klingon Christmas Carol · · Score: 1

    A warrior does not celebrate Christmas!

  23. Re:Of course not. on Will 2011 Be the Year of Mobile Malware? · · Score: 1

    That sounds like 2010 to me. And 2009. And maybe a bit earlier...

  24. Of course not. on Will 2011 Be the Year of Mobile Malware? · · Score: 1

    2011 is the year of Linux on netbooks. Or was that desktops. Anyway, I'm sure its a year of something linux related...

  25. Re:The Bigger Question on Microsoft Puts the Kibosh On Kinect Sex Game Plans · · Score: 1

    So I can't put a durability trophy. That sucks.
