  1. GIMP on US Watchdog Bans Photoshop Use In Cosmetics Ads · · Score: 2

    So the photographers and designers will be forced to use GIMP from now on? Poor bastards!

  2. Re:Lame on The Most Dangerous Toys of 2011 · · Score: 1

    Thudguard! I was really hoping that was a joke but the site looks genuine enough. Frankly if these stupid hats actually exist, they would probably be worse for the baby than the odd bump on the head. What about little Timmy's developing brain getting overheated under all of that synthetic material?

    I think your string is too long mate!

  4. Lame on The Most Dangerous Toys of 2011 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I RTFA just to make sure it would be as lame as I expected. It is. The Gawker sites are just a horrible waste of space. Less of this crap please!

  6. Re:I call bullshit on Judge Orders Man To Delete Revenge Blog · · Score: 1

    Hey, much of what you say sounds familiar!

  7. Re:Well... on Judge Orders Man To Delete Revenge Blog · · Score: 1

    How can one leave the 'ex the fuck alone' when seeing her is unavoidable? Picking up and dropping off the kids for example. You obviously haven't had any real experience of this so you might as well just keep your comments to yourself.

  8. What if on Wikipedia Debates Strike Over SOPA · · Score: 1

    /. went on strike for 24 hours? It would bring the internet to its...oh forget it.

  9. Re:WP7 sales suck everywhere. on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    But...but...but it has square corners!

  10. Re:Trolling? on Facebook Launches Suicide-Prevention Effort · · Score: 1

    No. They are not pronounced the same way. Troll has and 'o' sound. Trawl has an 'aw' sound.

  11. Could be worse. He could be turning into a bed sitting room!

  12. Re:Not fair. on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Any woman should be offended by that BBC article! It reads like something from the Onion!

  13. Re:Salt in the wound? on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1

    Sounds about right to me. The omission of the definite article and the odd syntax make it read like a direct translation from Chinese. Just a guess though.

  14. Re:Its already been done back in '85 on Tycho Deep Space: a DIY, Open Source, Manned Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Hah! That's the first thing I thought of. Glad it wasn't just me. I used to love that. I doubt it would stand up to watching again as an adult...

  15. Re:Please, please, please on Amazon Is Recruiting Authors For Its eBook Library · · Score: 1

    The problems you are describing could and should easily be fixed by a good proof reader. That is not the job of an editor. I don't think you know what an editor does.

  16. Re:WHY on Amazon Is Recruiting Authors For Its eBook Library · · Score: 1

    Can anyone come up with a car analogy? There have been too few of those on /. recently.

  17. Re:Not to be too pedantic on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 1

    or the Spanish Inquisition...

  18. Re:Municipal broadband is on its way, then on Web Usage-Based Billing On Its Way · · Score: 1

    I don't know. Refurbished phones. Does that mean they have actually been used? I'm not neurotic by any means but I dislike the idea of talking into a used phone. Seriously, how is the refurb experience? I was considering trying it out as I'm dirt poor these days but then thought 'eeeewwwwww'. Genuinely curious.

  19. Re:Municipal broadband is on its way, then on Web Usage-Based Billing On Its Way · · Score: 1

    Why not just get rid of cable altogether? There is nothing worth watching!

  20. Re:Without Napster we'd still be buying all CD's on Napster Being Shut Down · · Score: 2

    You don't understand the compression issue. There is nothing wrong with normalizing tracks so that the maximum loudness is close to 0dB. The reason for the 'solid brick' you see and hear is the overuse/abuse of compression so that all sounds/instruments and parts of the track become close to 0dB.

  21. Re:I am planning to move to NC on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    I thought the Godless part was just for rhetorical effect. I doubt he intended it to be read literally.

  22. Re:Oh noes: the anti-victoria's secret law! on How Photoshopped Is That Picture? · · Score: 1

    I don't even notice those ads. I suspect that the people whose perception is changed by such visual trickery are deficient in some way.

  23. Re:For non US-filtered search results on Judge Orders Hundreds of Websites Delisted From Search Engines, Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Yes. So?

  24. Re:For non US-filtered search results on Judge Orders Hundreds of Websites Delisted From Search Engines, Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Well, if you have an interest in such watches and can afford to buy them you would probably steer clear of any site spelling it 'Rollex'. The correct spelling is 'Rolex'.

    Ah, that Noone again. What a black hearted bastard he is!
