  1. Re:For Better or *for Worse* ... on TIME Names Mark Zuckerberg Person of Year · · Score: 1

    Your examples reminded me why the MOTY distinction can be ignored.
     
    Combine this with Barbara Walters naming Jersey shore one of the top 10 most fascinating people and I want to try to jump off of this planet and swim to a new one.

  2. Brazil on America's Cubicles Are Shrinking · · Score: 3, Informative

    Next they'll expect us to share a desk too:

    http://movieclips.com/Mkivg-brazil-movie-the-moving-desk/

    I'm sitting in about 64 ft^2. It sucks but I like making money too.

  3. Re:What are the options for non-Americans? on Underwear Invention Protects Privacy At Airport · · Score: 1

    Well, you can choose to vacation elsewhere. I remember reading a few years ago that the American tourist industry was starting to feel the hurt from the TSA's practices. I don't think this new round of stupidity is going to help. Perhaps the travel/tourist lobby will buy some legislation for the poor citizenry.
     
      If you have to travel there for business? Make sure to ship all your electronics in advance and remember that your employer is paying you to get groped.
     
      Hope it helps!

  4. Re:So do I... on Facebook Knows When You'll Get Dumped · · Score: 1

    Nah, She really is Fist In, First Out

  5. Re:Students will complain on Colleges May Start Forcing Switch To eTextbooks · · Score: 1

    The posts are html formatted. you can put a BR or P in.

  6. Re:ok, i'll be dumb enough to ask on Australian Visitors Must Declare Illegal Porn To Customs Officers · · Score: 1

    If you let Jesus in you it can't be gay, right?

  7. Re:I'll miss them on Blockbuster Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    I said the same thing about MP3s when they first came out.

    Instead of embracing them, the record companies just stamped their feet and complained about how easy they were to copy.

  8. Re:Like is the only option on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    Yes there is... All the people that didn't 'Like' it must dislike it.

  9. Re:not protects on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 1

    Depends. I read it as a satirical joke where the corporations don't believe we have rights. I didn't see jpapon defending his position anywhere below.

  10. Re:not protects on HDCP Master Key Is Legitimate; Blu-ray Is Cracked · · Score: 1

    That sound, above your head... Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's not Superman!


    WHOOSH!

  11. Re:Reason #0 on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 1

    ARTHUR: But if he was turning into a zombie, he wouldn't bother to write "BRAAAAIIIINSSS aaaaauuughghghsplortnomnom". He'd just say it.
    BROTHER MAYNARD: It's up there written in HTML.
    GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.

  12. Re:Commie Bikes !!! on Bicycles As a Gateway To Government Control · · Score: 2, Funny

    The only reason there are so many stupid people is that it's illegal to kill them.

  13. Re:Killing for the profit of oil & weapons inv on Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon · · Score: 1

    1. The soldier is a unlawful combatant
    2. You are an 'unlawful combatant'

    Funny how you follow the Geneva/Hague/International Humanitarian Law unless it's convenient.

  14. Re:No Criminal Intent on Feds Won't File Charges In School Laptop-Spy Case · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't doubt it.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    You'd have to be stupid or incompetent to think this was a good idea

  15. Neat Technology on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As someone who has played an instrument, I find it pretty cool that they are able to get a machine to read music... It was only a matter of time though. What is music? Fractions and frequencies. Something a computer should be able to handle.

    What I haven't heard is a really good synthesizer. My God, Have you heard CATS? That shit sounds like it was done on the Casio the kids have in their bedroom.

    In the long run though, this should make the "ARTS" more accessible to the public. I find that to be a good thing.

  16. Re:Piracy squeezes the middle hardest on Sometimes It's OK To Steal My Games · · Score: 1

    This really just shows that people will pay what it's worth to them. 26600 people think it's worth nothing. I think that those 26600 people would have never purchased the game in the first place but the copyright holder looks at those numbers and says "We could have made $52000!! We need DRM!!!" In reality, we will never know if any of those people would have purchased the game with out a controlled experiment (good luck setting that one up) How many of those people that picked up the game for free (pirated or not) told their friends that they should check that game out?
