  1. Re:The truth slowly comes out on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Except that we realize what Israel plans to do with their weapons if they do lose a war and have to negotiate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson_option A nation with this thought process does not deserve nuclear armament.

  2. Re:Proof on Louis CK's Internet Experiment Pays Off · · Score: 1

    Amazon was doing it way before Apple. Seriously.

  3. Re:Apparently... on Judge Dismisses 'Other OS' Class-Action Suit Against Sony · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that you don't get to read it until after you've bought the product.

  4. Re:Apparently... on Judge Dismisses 'Other OS' Class-Action Suit Against Sony · · Score: 1

    An EULA is not a legally binding contract. I remember signing nothing.

  5. They already knew on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Everyone knows that Iran will not return the drone, and they're in that right. The US politicians will just use this as an excuse to escalate things and drive us closer to another unwanted war.

  6. Re:Why build a tunnel to smuggle drugs? on The Mexican Cartel's Hi-Tech Drug Tunnels · · Score: 1

    I actually hear that Texas is buying water from Mexico so, yeah, that is legit.

  7. Yay! on On December 10, the Last Lunar Eclipse Until 2014 · · Score: 1

    So glad it falls on a Saturday. Will stay up for this.

  8. Re:WTF on Does Open Source Software Cost Jobs? · · Score: 1

    People need jobs because they provide an income. Now some people might be out of jobs, and there might not be enough to go around, but when they bitch about this, we tell them to get a job. Ridiculous.

  9. Re:The way I see it on Does Open Source Software Cost Jobs? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except that as things are, you might find yourself exploring the bottom of a garbage bin for some food. Eh, you get the point.

  10. Re:It's Just Wrong on Valve's Gabe Newell On Piracy: It's Not a Pricing Problem · · Score: 5, Funny

    But Jesus was the first pirate. He "copied" bread and fish for tons of people who wanted it. Doesn't that mean that good Christians should advocate sharing and copying, or as you refer to it, "piracy?"

  11. Re:Well on Police Encrypt Radios To Tune Out Public · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Oh, yeah, the recording function stopped working as we were arresting this man that claims we beat him for no reason."

  12. That other study on New Batch of Leaked Climate Emails · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are we forgetting that the Koch brothers funded a separate study that pretty much confirmed the results? Crazies will be crazies, but I don't expect reasonable persons to be swayed by this.

  13. Re:Anti-Trust on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    So I'm assuming that Linux servers are an uninteresting target, then. Is that correct?

  14. Re:That's it. It's over. on AFL-CIO and Big Content Advocate For SOPA · · Score: 2

    Blanks

  15. That's it. It's over. on AFL-CIO and Big Content Advocate For SOPA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm tired of trying to follow the law within reason. They don't want to play nice, neither will I. I'm off to the store to buy a couple of boxes of DVDs and blurays and I'm going to start giving them away to people I know and ask them to pass more forward. I'm going to pirate like there's no tomorrow because even when I try to play nice they want to screw up the internet. We gave them all the tools to do away with what they deemed inappropriate use of their works and now they want more. No more Mr nice guy. You asked for it. I hope you guys do the same. Pirate for people you know. Money is the only language these idiots understand(the *AAs, not your family).

  16. Re:Enough on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, because he has control over the DOJ. Nice going in that civics class, by the way.

  17. Re:If they're going to do this shit anyways on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 5, Informative
  18. Re:DRM rocks! on Valve Announces Massive Steam Server Intrusion · · Score: 2

    You still have to make a Steam account if you buy some retail games. It's just DRM, and while less intrusive than most, it's still horrible. I can't even give my old games away, which is crap, since I have friends that would usually take my old games, now they don't get squat.

  19. Re:Don't quit your day job on Mixed-Reality 3D Volumetric Projector · · Score: 1

    How else would you enjoy the show?

  20. Mint on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is one of the many reasons why Mint is now more popular than Ubuntu.

  21. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 1

    How will Palestine becoming a state affect Israel, or its existence for that matter? At least with statehood, both states will have defined borders, which will put an end to a lot of the conflict. The extremists in Palestine only have support because they have no other way to gain leverage in negotiations. This will put an end to that.

  22. Re:Tax evasion on Federal Contractors Are $600 Screwdrivers · · Score: 1

    When the other side cowers and concedes everything without a fight, it's safe to say that they are in charge. But let's face it, we all know that the ones in charge are corporations and the wealthy.

  23. Re:Plan B already in motion on Fish Evolve Immunity To Toxic Sludge · · Score: 2

    An all-powerful, all-knowing being would create perfect beings with free will at the very beginning unless he was some kind of psychopath. Else, he is not all-powerful or not all-knowing. And also there is no difference between micro and macroevolution, or what barrier is there for macroevolution?

  24. Re:Notable part of American history here. on US's Most Powerful Nuclear Bomb Being Dismantled · · Score: 1

    Considering significant destruction of portions of human infrastructure, nuclear winter, and all sorts of other fun side-effects of detonating a group of these bombs, I can see how we could potentially end all life, or at least all known life, on earth.

  25. Cool concept on Microtouch: 8-bit Open Source Media Device · · Score: 1

    Now I wonder if people will use it. Maybe if someone produced them to order instead of having to build it yourself, they would be good. Especially since it might end up being a lot cheaper than an iPod touch.
