  1. Re:The real loser is Microsoft on Portal 2 Bringing Steam To the PS3, Possible Early Release · · Score: 1

    Live is a terrible service. Anyone advocating it should be dipped in sheep it.

  2. Re:Yup on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    Indeed they are. Especially after they just ruled that netflix is not a broadcaster. Let me just say, good luck with that.

  3. Re:Yup on Who Killed Spotify? · · Score: 1

    Wrong. So very wrong. Most of it can be laid at the feet of the CRTC and Cancon. The CRTC for blocking innovation and a increase in the number of competitors in the market. And Cancon for forcing a specific percentage of all broadcasts must contain 'canadian content'.

  4. Re:Lack of Leftwing Outrage on White House To Drop Details of Cyber ID On Tax Day · · Score: 1

    Sorry. In the minds of koolaid drinking liberals you're a member of the tea party. Enjoy!

  5. Re:Forward thinking at its best on Asia Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Nah. ipv4 is enough for anybody. I mean how can we possibly ever run out? There's plenty of addresses....

    Ah fuck.

  6. Re:Lack of Leftwing Outrage on White House To Drop Details of Cyber ID On Tax Day · · Score: 2

    That's because only republicans and "right-wingers" and people belonging to the "tea party" can be targeted for this. Remember, Obama ... better than Bush. Hahaha right...you guys are fucked. You bought into the whole Trudeau style charm and are taking it like a champ now.

  7. Re:Once again... on DRM Broke Dragon Age: Origins For Days · · Score: 1

    Gotta remember we're a minority of a minority of people who know how to do this stuff. Me? I picked up the ultimate edition for $21 and went happily on my way not getting screwed over by being nickeled with buying DLC.

  8. Re:Once again... on DRM Broke Dragon Age: Origins For Days · · Score: 1

    Nah I screwed up and reencrypted it. Damn ROT13.

  9. Re:Once again... on DRM Broke Dragon Age: Origins For Days · · Score: 2

    No they did not. Neither did those of us who were smart enough to snag the keys to decrypt the dlc, decrypt it, and set the DLC so it wouldn't be reauthorized.

  10. Re:Hah! on China Calls Out US On Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    At the rate of chinese ghost towns being built to keep their GDP high, they're going to have to do something to bolster their gdp when it implodes. That means a war of some kind, whether it's commodities or the old fashioned one. It won't matter.

  11. Re:Hummm... What? on EU About To Vote On Copyright Extension · · Score: 2

    My brain must be broken. How does something generate economic value for 1.5x the life of the average person in Europe? (Not even touching the stuff in the US) Then again, considering most of the good music these days is in the public domain, I can see how they'd have a huge problem with this.

  12. Re:Ban the Printing Press on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 5, Funny

    You son of a bitch. And here I was going to move to a monastery, make beer and wine, and write out books by hand for the rest of my life.

    Seriously screw you and this new fangled shit!

  13. Re:allow me to be the first to say on Old Media Says Google Will Destroy Film & Music · · Score: 1

    Let me add, can't happen fast enough. And hopefully before they die they'll realize that substance is better than flash. And they'll still drive themselves into the grave with both feet, and their head up their ass over it.

  14. Re:Are Computer Crooks Renting Out Your PC? on Are Computer Crooks Renting Out Your PC? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't forget about java. I mean who was the genius who thought that code that's remote should be executable outside of a sandbox? Oh and .net too. Personally it seems like the entire software industry needs a swift kick in the face.

  15. Re:Ballistic missile program on What If America Had Beaten the Soviets Into Space? · · Score: 1

    Obviously the cuban missile crisis never happened, or that the soviets was willing to use horizontal nukes to break through the blockade. And it was the decision of the soviet military that nuking US ships was the preferred doctrine.

  16. Re:The efficiency seems too high for a heat engine on New Gasoline Engine Prototype Claims 3X Current Engine Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Wankel engines in general have a higher rate of efficiency than normal stroke n' bore engines. The real problem however is that they wear really fast. Back oh 20ish years ago when I was in highschool GM and Ford had several designs based on the wankel that were basically double the efficiency of current stroke n' bore's. The problem was the ceramic bits wore so fast that it was considered too expensive for the consumer. But it also followed the 'no lubricant/cooling materials minus the fuel' design.

  17. Re:meanwhile.... on Threatening YouTube Video Lands Man In Prison · · Score: 2

    Considering death threats against democrats are headline news and against republicans they're embargo'd? What you said is far from true. Lexisnexis is over there, feel free to use it.

  18. Re:winning the war on tourism on Appeals Court Affirms Warrantless Computer Searches · · Score: 1

    You took what I said and believed I made gross assumptions. So that really only leaves you making an ass out of yourself. And you could, so could the majority of canucks. But if you're so bent on the belief that 'I can't do anything.' That's your own problem.

  19. Re:Suspicious on Magical Chinese Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Flash media is stupidly easy to set to looped overwriting, it can be done in the firmware without even breaking a sweat. Actually there was a case not too long ago where new firmwares were released for a variety of SSD's for that exact issue.

  20. Re:Does this bother any other travellers? on Appeals Court Affirms Warrantless Computer Searches · · Score: 1

    Considering I live ~1.5hrs from 3 major US border points, 2hrs from 5 border points. I consider the entire thing useless, including one point that is unmanned. Traveling to the US is a pain in the ass, I haven't done it in nearly 3 years. Hell traveling to asia and europe is easier. If they don't want my business, or my tourist money that's fine. Because Japan does even if they require biometric data upon entering.

  21. Re:Megalitres? wtf? on 30 Years To Clean Up Fukushima Dai-Ichi · · Score: 2

    Megalitres is an obscure term? I suppose if you're american. Pretty much every other country that uses SI or a form of SI along side imperial(Canada), uses it for large fluid volumes.

  22. Re:winning the war on tourism on Appeals Court Affirms Warrantless Computer Searches · · Score: 0

    So hard, so bitter. Maybe you could have been actively involved in politics, and we wouldn't be facing an election. Ah the good old 'election on nothing' pushed by Iggy because he thinks it's a good time. It won't turn out well for the libs, especially considering his pro-bloc leaning.

  23. Re:we're not obsessed with facebook on The Facebook Obsession · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you but I have everything stripped out that I can strip out to make the site functional on my end. Plain text, mobile version, no active css or ajax. So I guess this makes it about a half step above a good old fashioned phb style board for me. Of course I do find the moderating these days to be well insane, and I enjoy poking people to see how crazy people get when kicked in the face with reality.

  24. Re:we're not obsessed with facebook on The Facebook Obsession · · Score: 0

    I don't know about you but I hate socializing. I'm not a fan of people, and well really I find this whole 'web 2.0' thing inane bordering on the point of narcissism, and the rest of the time, people just dive right in.

  25. Re:Meh ... on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    Already done, it's called palemoon.
