  1. Wait... on The American App Economy Is Now "Bigger Than Hollywood" · · Score: 1

    Did they include all the aspiring actors/actresses working as waiters in that estimate?

  2. Project Koschei on 6,000 Year Old Temple Unearthed In Ukraine · · Score: 1

    See also: "A Colder War"

    http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/...

  3. Re:"forced labor" on Use of Forced Labor "Systemic" In Malaysian IT Manufacturing · · Score: 1
  4. Re:When will we... on CIA Director Brennan Admits He Was Lying: CIA Really Did Spy On Congress · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

  5. Corporate Arcologies on 'Google Buses' Are Bad For Cities, Says New York MTA Official · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If anyone is going to bring us Shadowrun-style corporate arcologies, it'll be Google.

  6. Automation on 45% of U.S. Jobs Vulnerable To Automation · · Score: 1

    The jobs of the future may be done by robots, but they'll need people to build and maintain those robots.

  7. Re:Needs a catchier name on New Drug Mimics the Beneficial Effects of Exercise · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Honeywords? No... on Honeywords — Honeypot Passwords · · Score: 1

    "I prepared Explosive Runes today."

  9. Re:FFS on 'This Is Your Second and Final Notice' Robocallers Revealed · · Score: 1

    Not to Godwin the thread or anything, but "I was just following orders" didn't work well as a defense at the Nuremberg trials. Just sayin'.

  10. Re:Interesting on Rockstar Creates 'Cheaters Pool' For Game Hackers · · Score: 1

    "There'd better be some sort of concrete proof"

    Game companies don't provide ban evidence to end-users, because cheaters always request it so they can improve their cheat progs so that their next account can avoid the banhammer.

  11. card collections value on Sony To Delete Virtual Goods · · Score: 2

    for the most part, this statement is true of non-virtual cards as well.

  12. In other news on Scientists Create World's First Atomic X-Ray Laser · · Score: 1

    Vault-Tec stock is up!

  13. bullies on White House Responds To SOPA, PIPA, and OPEN · · Score: 1

    Simply coming back with "ok, we get the message - you don't like SOPA. But i don't hear you jackoffs coming up with any better ideas, do I?" is bully psychology. it is a sorry attempt to rephrase the conversation as "well, do you prefer A or B?"

    but that's not the issue. the issue is, "does this problem need to be solved at all?"

    because if we simply accept the choice between horrible implementation that infringes on our rights A and horrible implementation that infringes on our rights B, we're not actually thinking about all of the possibilities. maybe piracy, ultimately, is better for the public than either choice A or choice B.

    just a thought.

  14. Re:At least Austin should be free of floods . . . on Apple Outsources A5 Chip Manufacture ... To Texas · · Score: 1

    Not in Austin. That's more down on the coastline, 3.5-4 hr away.

  15. Re:seems like a really bad idea on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 4, Informative
  16. seems like a really bad idea on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 1

    Isn't the use of lasers for blinding enemy personnel against the Geneva Convention? What makes it sound like a good idea for use on your own Citizens if you can't use it against enemy infantry? Not to mention the lawsuits resulting from failures that wind up permanently blinding people.

    What a bad idea.

  17. Re:And by the way on How Tech Vendors Help Governments Spy On Their Citizens · · Score: 1

    it's easier to get your own citizens to remain complacent about being spied on than the enemy agents.

  18. Re:Excellent karma yet no mod points on Google Throws /. Under Bus To Snag Patent · · Score: 1

    I believe that one of the account options is that you can opt-out from moderation. Check that and see if that's what's going on...

  19. Re:divorce on Judge Makes Divorcing Couple Swap Facebook Passwords · · Score: 3, Informative

    1) You should probably delete your profile ahead of time, then.
    2) I'm pretty sure that if you took the action to "delete your profile" with such a short turnaround time, then the spouse's login to your FB account would undo the "delete" action, anyway. Logging in to a FB account during the "deletion waiting period" cancels the deletion.

  20. Re:That's not a "cap". on AT&T To Introduce Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    mod parent up.
    first you give them generous caps.
    then, once they're used to it, you crank it down and siphon out the money from their pocketbooks.

  21. Re:So, the system works? on Retailers Dread Phone-Wielding Shoppers · · Score: 1

    You know, I had a salesperson at Best Buy try to charge me a higher price than what was marked on an item as well, until I spoke up and made them correct it. I wonder if this is a standard practice at Best Buy now...

  22. hunter2 did not make the list? on The Top 50 Gawker Media Passwords · · Score: 0
  23. Re:Wait... on Sites Guilty of Hijacking History · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you already know this, but...

    Yojimbo (1961)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055630/

    A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058461/

    Last Man Standing (I) (1996)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116830/

    And while we're on the topic, Sanjuro is also a great flick. "It is a sequel to Kurosawa's previous film Yojimbo, with Mifune reprising his role as a wandering ronin."

  24. Re:Suspicious on Underwear Invention Protects Privacy At Airport · · Score: 1
  25. Re:torrent sneaking? on Witcher 2 Torrents Could Net You a Fine · · Score: 1

    something that brings up vastly different search results than expected.
