  1. Re:Goons? on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: 1

    Re your sig: if you think that belief in a monotheistic, infinite, possibly personal, possibly triune, deity is a popular choice these days...then I find your lack of faith stupefying! Just sayin...

  2. Everyone Vs Everyone Online! on DoS Attack Forces EVE Online Offline · · Score: 4, Funny

    Couldn't have happened to a more wretched hive of scum and villainy in all the virtual worlds!

    (obviously, that comment excludes carebears & all non-sociopath gamers :)

  3. Re:No shit on HBO Says Game of Thrones Piracy Is "a Compliment" · · Score: 1

    If HBO were really cunning & smart, they would have floated each ep as a kickstarter project & said they're not releasing it until it hits $xxx. Then they could just seed a few torrents & let us chumps pay for distribution & word-of-mouth reviews/free advertising.

    Someone with an already popular show & loyal fan base is bound to try this soon, just surprised they haven't yet.

  4. Re:How is this news? on The Internet's Bad Neighborhoods · · Score: 1

    Defiantly...?

    I had the solution for virus/malware/spammers years ago: 6-12 of them each day hanging by their ankles naked in Times Square (or some other central location), on international tv for the duration; crowd can go to town on them from a short distance with verbal & organic 'substance' abuse of choice (just no serious/major physical damage allowed). I think within 6 months the problem would be down to 5-10% of the volumes it is now. :)

  5. Re:Alternatives? on Google Reader Being Retired · · Score: 1

    Can you give us a URL/port for public access pls? ;)

    I bemoan the days I stopped using Usenet...I think everything went downhill after that (& when they allowed non-plaintext email formats)...*sigh*.

  6. Re:Alternatives? on Google Reader Being Retired · · Score: 1

    It went out the door soon after "don't be apathetic".

    Why couldn't they just shutdown Google+ & we can all go back to the good ol days...? :-/

  7. Seriously? on Google Reader Being Retired · · Score: 1

    TF? So does this mean my droid gReader 3rd party app will stop working July 1 as well? i.e. this is a Google complete back-end shutdown...?
    'Currents' looks like a piss-poor replacement if I can't even get local top newspaper feeds...seriously Google??? :-/

  8. Re:Hard to believe on Scientists Have Re-Cloned Mice To the 25th Generation · · Score: 1

    Best 'pitfalls of cloning yourself' movie EVA! :)

  9. Reality check on Millionaire Plans Mission To Mars In 2018 · · Score: 1

    FFS, do we even have anywhere near the reliable tech to send humans on a 6mth+ journey through space, with any hope in hell of getting there alive, much less landing in 1 piece, much less get back to earth (if that's even on the cards)...?

  10. I thought he was going for pyrrhivacy, as in pyrrhic privacy :)

  11. Re:Ahh, the razors edge... on Russian EBookseller LitRes Gets Competing EBook Apps Booted From Google Play · · Score: 1

    > I'm not surprised you post anonymously however.

    But we all are that you don't. No really.

  12. Re:Cue the on FCC Proposal Would Cover the US With Public Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Whooshed by an AC! :)

  13. Re:Since when? on How EVE Online Dealt With a 3,000-Player Battle · · Score: 1

    Doesn't this pretty much sum up the state of the US economy right now...? ;)

    Elitist...assholes...a 2-word review of EVE Online in a nutshell. Nothing else needs be said. No, really.

    GW2 all the way FTW!!! (& a bit of POE this past week :).

  14. Re:Heh on UK Apple Users Sue Google Over Safari Tracking · · Score: 2

    Last I checked, Google hasn't apologised for jack shit, not should they. OTOH, Samsung is still waiting for a proper one from crApple...

  15. Re:Really? on UK Apple Users Sue Google Over Safari Tracking · · Score: 1

    So basically, you/they/crApple is sore that Safari security is weak as piss & worse than IE's? Gotcha.

  16. Re:Thanks, Antigua! on Responding to US Gambling Law, Antigua Set To Launch "Pirate" Site · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    But the Antiguans also belong to North America (via the Carribean/West Indies), so aren't they Americans too...?

  17. Re:Why JJ Abrams when you could get Peter Jackson? on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    No, that would be Star Wars 7.1, 7.2 & 7.3, with options on 7.4-7.9.
    8 & 9 would be remakes/reboots of 7.1 & 7.2 respectively, with Lucas doing the scriptwriting from his geriatric bed.
    Oh, the horror, the HORROOOOORRRRRRRRR!!!

  18. Re:Wait a second... on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 0

    What mix r u smokin man? Seriously, send me your recipe. ;)

  20. Re:The Lens Flare!!! on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 0

    Sorry, crApple has already signed up exclusive rights, so we'll be seeing iSabers, iBlasters & the new improved iFalcon freighter.

  21. Re:MTV Star Wars! on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 1

    American Pie: Death Star, or will they resurrect one of the short-listed ST concepts from before Enterprise: "ST Academy 90210" :)

  22. Re:No more time travel! on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He obviously hasn't seen Primer.

  23. Re:A bit more competition for EVE online on Linux and Android MMO Launches Kickstarter To Support Gameplay Expansion · · Score: 1

    Let me know when EVE aka "Sociopath Ganker Online" goes f2p. So I can still not play it. :)

  24. The love of money... on The Atlantic's Scientology Advertorial · · Score: 1

    Advertising will go down in history as one of the greatest evils of the 20th century that man perpetrated on himself.

  25. Re:Only this on Star Wars Live-Action Show Could Still Happen · · Score: 1

    Shame because of all the great shows that became lost opportunities, Jericho definitely didn't deserve the 2nd chance card.
