  1. Re:I dissent on NY Times Confident of 'First Click Free' Paywalls · · Score: -1

    Did you bother reading the other replies or were you busy being pig headed? That article is a rip off and the same stuff can be found elsewhere.

    I always wondered where your type were hiding. Some people will not consider something good unless they paid big bucks for it. You're one of those idiots.

  3. In case of a certain accident on Google Secretly Tests Autonomous Cars In Traffic · · Score: -1

    How would the car decide whether to hit a person or a tree in case of a certain imminent accident. If they program it to hit the tree, people can use dummies and cause cars to crash.

    Jeez man, you need to chill out. You sound desperate for acceptance.

  5. Re:"engineering" in Asia is a male general degree on Why Are Terrorists Often Engineers? · · Score: -1

    A similar misconception arises when with the saying "China [or India] graduates many more engineers than the USA". When you normalize for the fact that engineering Asia covers things not considered engineering in the USA, then the difference is not that great.

    Actually, that's not correct, it's the other way around. In US, the university I went to (it's in the top 10) has a degree called MS in Engineering Management (EM). This degree is an absolute joke, it has no technical content- more like a something from the Humanities/ MBA department. But is still classified under "Engineering".

  8. Re:...And one generation behind on HTML5 on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: -1

    Speed is not the only factor in choosing a browser. The problem with Chrome is that it's extremely annoying to use in MANY ways, especially for a user who is not in the novice category. The bookmarks, extensions and menus are a disaster of functionality- And they are INTENDED so, because Google wants you to search rather than use client to get the job done.

    Thanks a lot for this stupid advertisement. You might as well post viagra spam next time.

  10. Re:I used to play on that one. on Blizzard Sues Private Server Company, Awarded $88M · · Score: 1

    When I recently installed the game on trial to see how things have progressed I found I was not missing anything. The whole sense of community is gone. The cities are freakin deserted and the starter areas are deserted too. The dungeons are just assembled at random and people are teleported in and out of groups. It was a ghastly experience and for the first time I wondered- why should I waste my time on this shit. I now have a few characters including a lev 60 one that died and fell off a cliff into the next zone. I couldn't be bothered to find the spirit, just quit instead.

  11. Re:Already an issue.. on Apple Outs Anti-Jailbreak Update · · Score: 1

    If you restore the firmware completely through itunes (i.e. click Shift-Restore) and replace the OS, would it be the same thing as what you described as "clean wipe"? Cause I have an ipod touch 2g and after installing ios 4 (unmodified), it became very slow in all interactions, sometimes it takes like double the time it used to take to open screens.

  12. Why the heck is this news? on Audi A8 Gets Factory Integrated Mobile Hotspot · · Score: 2, Informative

    Is a mobile hotspot some great unheard of technology? Even a cheap mobile phone or laptop can set up a hotspot. They just took the hardware and put it in a car instead of somewhere else.

    They wouldn't mind it, especially if there is a separate account or machine for them. If wives want full access to all your stuff, you have other issues.. Just cause you're married doesn't mean you have to give up privacy you're entitled to.

  14. Re:FRAUD on Quake Live Beta Ends, Optional Subscription Plans Added · · Score: 2, Informative

    How would you like all the services you deal with billed annually, but then misrepresented as a monthly cost? It's NOT a monthly cost unless you have the option to pay monthly. The fact that you guys don't understand that this is a marketing gimmick is amazing. Just cause it's in the fine print, doesn't mean it's not a questionable practice. They know that no one will pay $24 for this 10 (?) year old piece of shit, so they advertise a monthly rate but then surprise them with an annual rate. They're sleazeballs

  15. FRAUD on Quake Live Beta Ends, Optional Subscription Plans Added · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That would be $24. It costs 1.99 monthly only if you already subscribe, which means you paid $24.
    How do these dickheads get away with this " $1.99 per month, billed annually," BS??

  19. there are worse things than porn on Browser Private Modes Not So Private After All · · Score: 1

    I feel the best option is to lock your account and not give the password out for any reason to anyone including the wife. You could also install multiple browsers and prevent an autocomplete disaster. Why people share user accounts with family is impossible for me to understand. You shouldn't even share the same physical computer with anyone else. Sometimes, there are worse things than porn to discover on someones computer.

    And you're being a fool. Are you saying that one is supposed to manage without a car? next time your family member is dying or in an emergency, walk, ride the bus, carpool and let us know how it turns out. Carpool will not be an option though since you'll be a social outcast and considered a leech by everyone else.

    I somehow get the feeling we are missing something here." agreement that could allow Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the content's creators are willing to pay for the privilege.
