  1. Re:What next? on Toronto School Bans Hard Balls · · Score: 1

    I propose that all balls be protected by In Pants laws, as surely these modern children must!

  2. Re:Why not use their own sites? on New Media Giants Take Out Print Ad Against SOPA · · Score: 1

    Hell yes, I'd support this. Even just Facebook, Twitter and YouTube would do it, but it'd have to be a whole 24 hours. Redirect to a page giving an explanation of what's going on like Tumblr did.

  3. Re:should be on New Study Finds People Remember More Than They Think · · Score: 1

    Flash? Hell, there was a static HTML version that got sent out years ago.

    and even how one nods one's head in agreement, shakes one's head indicating disagreement

    Better fire all the Indians then.

    I, too, base my health maintenance plan on comedy routines.

  6. Re:"K"? on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: 1

    That's "blurb." I have no idea what a "blurp" is in this context, sounds like a messy burp :)

  7. Re:Stallman in a sentence on Computing Pioneers Share Their First Tech Memories · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple's latest computers don't even allow users to freely choose what applications to install.

    Spreading the FUD a little thick there, huh, Stallman? But since you don't actually use them, I'm not surprised at all at your willful ignorance.

  8. Re:Michael Dell's story. on Computing Pioneers Share Their First Tech Memories · · Score: 2

    The was excellent, thanks for the laughs!

  9. Re:What about latency? on Net Neutrality and Carrier Incentives To Invest · · Score: 2

    Today most homes is either hooked directly up on fiber or hook up on cobber with translation to fiber not very far away... I'm guessing here, but I think ad hoc wireless networks, would be crazy unreliable, slow, insecure and have an extreme latency...

    Cobbler...so you're proposing the return of Sneakernet?

  10. Re:I propose we Occupy "Occupy" on Occupy Flash? · · Score: 0

    This is what happens when your movement has no, or very loosely defined, goals.

    Neither insightful nor interesting, this is just a meme to dismiss and discredit any protest. Repeating it ad nauseum doesn't make it true.

    That just means you're near an airport. :D

  12. Re:SHHH!! on $50,000 To Solve the Most Complicated Puzzle Ever · · Score: 1

    Freedom, maaaan.

  14. Re:How is that possible? on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ask the folks in Oakland. Starting a bonfire in the middle of a street is not exactly brilliant, and neither was the vandalism.

  15. Re:John Sculley, Anyone? on Apple Names New Chairman · · Score: 1

    Steve was ousted from the company the last time, rather than spending years plans and ideas and clueing in his successor(s) on where to go when he wasn't around anymore. Completely different scenarios. Besides, Tim's got long haul options on the line.

  16. Re:Will the reality distortion field last? on Apple Names New Chairman · · Score: 1

    So we're destined to have Apple-themed pickup trucks, bicycles and dildos?

    We're doomed.

    Nope. That would mean Apple offering a wide range of options on their hardware... :D

  17. Re:Better Place on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    Given current EV ranges, you probably won't make it before the battery dies anyway.

    Come on over to YOSPOS, we could use more posters like you! :)

  20. Re:Microsoft on Microsoft Shareholders Unhappy After Annual Meeting · · Score: 1

    There is also a lot of Apple comparisons in the comments, and it should be realised that while the Apple share price has grown, they came back from a fairly low base. Ten years ago it was concievable that they were going under.

    LOL, not even close. 2001 they had ridden the Dot-Com tide as much as anyone WRT their stock price, but they had no debt, solid products in the marketplace, a solid profit margin, and were about to introduce the iPod in October, 2001.

  21. Re:Many regular people own MSFT on Microsoft Shareholders Unhappy After Annual Meeting · · Score: 1

    I got MS Office 2011 for Mac for $11 through work, that's PPT, Word and Excel. I think that's about what it's worth.

  22. Makes sense on Skilled Readers Recognize Words By Shape · · Score: 1

    Especially for non-character based writing like Chinese.

  23. Re:Honor system on RIAA Doesn't Like the "Used Digital Music" Business · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ever look at the fine print on an old LP? Same thing applies. You have never "owned" the music, you just have a limited playback license tied to the physical object.

  24. Re:TOS, EULA on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    CBC's old "Nightlines" radio program had an introduction for its Hour of Power segment that went something like: "From coast to coast on CBC Stereo, around the world on shortwave, and soon to edges of the known universe..."
