  1. So that's his jobs plan... on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    The incarcerated aren't counted as part of the workforce. Immediate improvement on the unemployment numbers! Also, explains how NYC becomes a penal colony that Snake has to escape from.

  2. Well that's good news on CloudStack Goes Open Source · · Score: 2

    Hooefully this will result in many more cloud providers. More competition in the market is a good thing IMHO.

  3. Re:Wow... that's on Facebook's New Privacy Controls: Still Broken · · Score: 1

    Maybe HR shouldn't take everything they find on google image search or Facebook as the word of the one true god. But that would be too simple.

  4. Re:The Sad Denial on The Latest Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 1

    IE > 8 is making great progress. I just wish that it worked on non windows boxes.

  5. Re:Poor Sad Sap on The Latest Web Browser Grand Prix · · Score: 1

    And , and . If all you want is text use an alternative text-based browser. If you don't want rich unique professional content, block ads and trcking. The web as we know and love it, with all the great applications and sites and media would not exist without ads. We tried the free and the subscription business models, and for the most part it didn't work. View the ads and enable the tracking and the web will continue to advance. If those annoying flash and pop-up ads hurt traffic so much, sites would not use tem because noone would buy them. Complain all you want, but as long as people want to be paid for the content they produce, ads are here to stay in all their flashy, animated glory. Stop being such a pretentious Luddite.

  6. Re:Sure, just remember the gorilla arm on Will Touch Screens Kill the Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    Ah...so A for attack and B for block is slower for the human brain to interpret? Don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I go into a game is map all the important functions to asdf jkl; secondary functions to wer uio and shooting or inventory switching to SHIFT-L, SHIFT-R, and spacebar. I don't want some game maker moving all my keys to the center of the keyboard. Ditto in applications. They already are specially mapped to control sequences. If you cannot memorize the keyboard shortcuts for the most used features of any application you use for a long period of time you have some serious long-term memory issues. Keyboard is better...what are you looking at Schwan?

  7. Satire has lost its purpose... on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    The inclusion of those words was to satire the derogatory use of them in society at the time...to remove them is to change an important anti-slavery text into a simple story about a boy and his friend traveling down the river. What's next, they take the lynch-mob scene at the end out? The text was SUPPOSED to offend people so that they would think about Jim as a person and not a piece of property?
