  1. How has metamoderation been working, Taco? on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm genuinely curious. I haven't metamoderated in well over 7, maybe 8 years. But I'm wondering, is it working? Has it worked before?

    Speaking of which does anyone know where I can get just the stickers?

    I don't know if this is a function of anti-woman behavior on the stock market?

    I'd be willing to guess no, and it's more like anti-incompetent. Sure, Hurd was misappropriating funds to his mistress, he hadn't ran the company further into the ground than Carly did.

    I thought he just got told by the board and the investigator.

    Now that 3D Realms owns the joint they don't have to worry about releasing anything preventing this possible catastrophe

    At 127 releases; they were on the verge of an 8 bit signed integer overflow. I suspect one of the managers panicked and convinced the CEO to sell before they had a chance to launch another and have to start over from scratch anyway.

  9. WaPo/MSM probably love WikiLeaks. on WikiLeaks 'a Clear and Present Danger,' Says WaPo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    WikiLeaks is in a great place for the press in that it allows WikiLeaks to be the source of scandalous documents; rather than actually being responsible for the leak itself.

    What this means is that they have a huge overarching story they can flog for quite awhile and not have to worry about retribution for running any given story. WikiLeaks is a total win-win for an ever more lazy media.

  10. Re:About time. on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 1

    When has the Japanese Diet voted in favor of removing US troops? I know that some Japanese people are fed up with it, but, the reason why we're still in Europe and Japan is that their long term military plans have always relied on being allied with the US.

    The big difference is that European states haven't asked us to leave.

  12. Re:I'd have to say no. on Does Net Neutrality Violate the Fifth Amendment? · · Score: 1

    It's a little different than that.

    Instead of building panels for your house, let's say that the Government paid you a crapload of money to build a solar array for the community. I'd argue that no, you don't get to chose who connects and gets priority on your fancy solar array.

    I vote flat device.

  16. Re:D'oh. on To Ballmer, Grabbing iPad's Market Is 'Job One Urgency' · · Score: 1

    Funny, netbooks have been flogged for years before the iPad launched.

    What angers me is your inability to understand why the market's buying iPads and it has zero to do with the power of marketing.

    It's the form factor, stupid.

    Using a net book on a bus, or on the couch or in bed, or anywhere but a table is kind of a pain in the ass. When you're on a train, plane, bus, or riding as a passenger in a car, the iPad is way more ergonomically sound than a netbook or a bigger notebook.

    By how much?

    Rationality and common sense are largely two different things.

    Rationally figuring out that people are buying cars to get from point a to point b and maybe going faster than they should is different than figuring that that people are largely buying R4s and other flash cards to warez games.

    Boohoo. Blame the pirates, not nintendo.

    I love my iTouch DS, but, let's be honest, it's used largely to pirate games. So, who's honestly surprised Nintendo didn't try to get it banned?

    If you have a TV that does 1080p but doesn't do HDCP then you really must be an early adopter. My lousy projection CRT set from early 2004 supports HDCP, and the protocol's been around since 2001.
