  1. Doesn't believe in patents on MIT Lecturer Defends His Standing As Email Inventor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If only the rest of the world saw it his way. If he did invent email, that is.

  2. Re:some feminists on Biologists Debunk the "Rotting Y Chromosome" Theory · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but this is a planet full of feminist women, so it's a little harrier and no protagonist.

  3. Re:Stay Classy Microsoft on Microsoft's Anti-Google Video Campaign · · Score: 2

    That's true. The MS alternatives suck, but let's not be blind to the problems that google has. Plus we already have good alternatives. It's called FOSS.

  4. Re:Stay Classy Microsoft on Microsoft's Anti-Google Video Campaign · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They're kind of right on this one. I wouldn't trust google docs to run a business. I mean, I might venture to do libreoffice, or other free software, not only because it is a better software model, but it's good for the company, but MS is right in this case. Not so sure about the gmail thing, though I don't appreciate being scanned, which is why I don't use it.

  5. Re:US Gov. needs to treat women like adults on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    The government is wrong. It's that simple. The government also used to disagree that women could vote, but they were wrong. Legality has nothing to do with right and wrong.

  6. Re:US Gov. needs to treat women like adults on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Having sex isn't agreeing to have a child. Women may get pregnant, fine, but they have a choice, if they choose to have a child, then let them raise it. No one else's responsibility.

  7. Re:So... on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    It's the simple fact that if you chose to have a child, and women do have a choice, then it's your child. Why drag someone else into it?

  8. Re:The lesson here isn't about free speech on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 2

    That's funny, since most divorces are filed by women. Who is it that can't commit?

  9. Re:The lesson here isn't about free speech on Man Ordered To Apologize To Wife On Facebook · · Score: 1

    You're lucky, my professor was murdered for wanting to leave his wife. Afterward, she badmouthed him on the nightly news.

  10. He graduated Summa Cum Laude. He doesn't have to show you shit.

  11. Re:Youtube video. on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you can watch it from the highway, it is generally understood that it's fair game. The hunters here were wrong to damage other's property. The simple fact is that they had no expectation of privacy, nor should they have. If these were pot farmers, and they were spotted by the police in a helicopter, or by using a drone, no warrant would be required. It's "in plain sight." Hippies they may be, but a crime has been committed against them.

  12. Re:Up next on Copyright cat & mouse... on The Pirate Bay On Track To Be Banned In the UK? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure I heard a bird singing a copyrighted song. They should ban those too.

  13. Re:This Could Be Made Fair on Kentucky Telephone Companies Pushing For Option To End Basic Service · · Score: 2

    [sarcasm]No, that would be socialism and that's bad.[/sarcasm]

  14. I don't care on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They are running a business and trying to make money. It's the same reason that I don't "support" their products. I don't care about Sony because they don't care about me. Also, If I wanted those albums, I'd torrent. She's dead anyway.

  15. Re:as well they on Doctors "Fire" Vaccine Refusers · · Score: 1

    And you obviously don't need doctors ever, since you clearly know when they are wrong and right.

  16. Untested tech on Ontario Teachers' Union Calls For Health-Related Classroom Wi-Fi Ban · · Score: 1

    Yeah, radios are so experimental.

  17. Re:Job Creators on The Zuckerberg Tax · · Score: 4, Funny

    Though, he may have thought himself to be a God, else he would have gone to a doctor sooner and he'd still be alive.

  18. Re:Why is this news? on Pasadena Police Encrypt, Deny Access To Police Radio · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who goes on five? Three is the magic number, my friend.

  19. Re:What was it? on Text Message Brands Quebec Man a Terror Suspect · · Score: 2

    The article doesn't say, but it was more likely that they were spying on him.

  20. Re:What was it? on Text Message Brands Quebec Man a Terror Suspect · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article says that he told his colleagues to "blow away" the competition, so most likely it read as, "Blow them away." And it was misinterpreted.

  21. Much worse on Text Message Brands Quebec Man a Terror Suspect · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They arrested him because of a simple text message, not because any actions that he took. Just speech. That's a lot worse, if you ask me.

  22. Re:News? on The Destruction of Iraq's Once-Great Universities · · Score: 1

    Fukushima was not closed off from the rest of Japan. It's not the same scenario.

  23. Re:News? on The Destruction of Iraq's Once-Great Universities · · Score: 1

    I would like to think, against all reason, that some of the looters were students and now some of those books are hidden away in some of their houses, saved from the mob, but I don't think this is true. If my local university was in a war zone, I might actually take some books from it to keep. It sure beats having them burned for warmth or some other thing that could befall them. It's the same reason why I keep a backup of wikipedia at home.

  24. Re:News? on The Destruction of Iraq's Once-Great Universities · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've noticed that in America, only the poor people seem to get morbidly obese. It might have something to do with cheap food being no good for you.

  25. Re:I like their position on Seattle Library Lets Man Watch Porn On Computers Despite Complaints · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong. As long as the man doesn't whip it out right there and then, everything is fine.
