  1. Re:timothy... on Unwise — Search History of Murder Methods · · Score: 1

    But from a URL shortener like tinyurl you get nothing useful. A couple of modern browsers like Firefox 4 or Midori show the link in the address bar, only on very large screens that bar is wide enough.

    + insightful!

  3. Re:Damn linux users! on The Challenge In Delivering Open Source GPU Drivers · · Score: 2

    As if you have a choice when buying laptops.

    There's nothing wrong with making the cells smaller, heck, the moaners about radiation would love the lower power requirements of the small cells.

    When they halve the size of their cells they double the potential bandwidth, it's as easy as that.

    The 'lack' of bandwidth is not a physical limit, it's an investment strategy.

    People would be irate

    Please refrain from using the term iRate unless used in the proper Apple context.

  7. Re:Begging on Wikipedia Meets $16M Budget Goal · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia is already getting all the money it needs. (TFA doesn't explain *why* they need more money -- more server farms?)

    Oh, please show us where that money is c.q. was before the campaign was started.

    Besides, I think we can trust them more when a large portion of their finances is from individual and even anonymous donors.

  8. Re:First Address Targeted Advertising, Then We'll on Wikipedia Meets $16M Budget Goal · · Score: 1
    Why self destructive?

    I have the option to disable the ads but I don't mind the one or two ads when it helps support this site and judging by other's comments here I'm not alone in this.

  9. Unsuspecting? on Storm Botnet Returns As Part of New Year's Attacks · · Score: 0

    I can, be it barely, see how some computer users unsuspectingly bought one with Windows pre-installed but how unsuspecting are the companies that did this installation on all of their products?

  10. Re:How about specifying girth and length ? on Microsoft Patents Looks-Are-Everything Dating · · Score: 1
    Hmm, I've heard more women complain about 'to big' then about 'to small'.

    Maybe just a personal thing though.

  11. The Borg on Microsoft Patents Looks-Are-Everything Dating · · Score: 1

    As long as I remember all Microsoft stories have this Borg avatar, why not this time, is it to prevent Bill to find his perfect match?

    At least I didn't vote for any these assholes.

    Oh? But you started with:

    I don't really care for politics, I didn't vote,

    When you're not against it you're for it!

    Yeah and the world is 6000 years old

    Come on sick puppy, go get some education.

  14. Re:And Europe is becoming too stupid on EU Wants Power To Block China's Tech Buying · · Score: 1
    You have already been told what an idiot you are regarding the way a government is formed so I leave that one.

    Yet there is a little fact called Antonio Tajani, he's an Italian politician and it's rather noticeable he suddenly speaks out for keeping things European.

    A few years ago a very large Dutch bank wanted to buy a small Italian bank and the Italian National Bank went to great length to prevent this.
    Later it was discovered the Italian government and the National Bank illegally colluded to try to prevent the sale of this Bank.

    Now an Italian politician is suddenly trying to stop the sale of the Dutch cable manufacturer Draka to the Chinese while there's a lower bid by..., you guessed it, an Italian cable company :)

  15. Re:US on Micro-USB Cellphone Charger Becomes EU Standard · · Score: 2

    No wonder, the 'Standard' version looks so socialist Fox News would bury it in five minutes!

    This shows where font size can be a form of cheating :)

  17. Re:Seriously? on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 2
    Now you sign on to the popular right-wing misconception there are leftist news channels in the USofA.

    But to call Fox News right wing is equally strange, I don't think any -honest- conservative would like to be associated with that group of trolls.

  18. Re:Doomed on Michael Moore Posts Julian Assange's Bail · · Score: 1

    What purpose is served in releasing the fact that Hilary Clinton worries about the mental health of other world leaders? How does that aid in our international relations?

    What government makes such documents available to millions of it's employees and then acts surprised, even offended, when one of them releases it in the wild?

  19. Re:They aren't profiling properly on A Nude Awakening — the TSA and Privacy · · Score: 1
    You are absolutely correct.

    Would the US authorities want to protect the airline industry they only have to ask advise from their Israeli counterparts who have elevated profiling to an exquisite art.

    As a passenger I have experience with both systems and I'll take the Israeli flight.

    But they are profiling, under present conditions religious hard liners can't fly.

    What's that got to do with cops?

    Only idiots drive under influence and risk killing the innocent.

  22. Re:Expensive, fragile bumpers on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 1

    Those camera's are not positioned in the bumper but (much) higher up and look down at your bumper and the area right behind it.

  23. Re:On This Note on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 1
    Because a very insightful US official has many years ago established American drivers would be confused by the resulting change in perspective.

    In the mean time the rest of the world enjoys the benefits of those banned mirrors.

    The camera's field of view covers the part missing from your mirrors and 'over the shoulder'.

    Yeah I know, weird :)
