  1. Re:overpopulated on Bill Gates: Internet Will Not Save the World · · Score: 1, Informative

    All right, you go first then.

  2. Re:What's the use of a pipe that big? on Google Fiber Partially Reverses Server Ban · · Score: 1

    I believe the point is that you don't have to worry about bandwidth (or latency).

  3. Re:Well, we're on to stage 3... on Oracle Attacks Open Source; Says Community-Developed Code Is Inferior · · Score: 1

    I think we've already won.

  4. Re:Why would you want a single button??? on Bill Gates Acknowledges Ctrl+Alt+Del Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    I have had a few keyboards (recently) with such a button.

  5. Re:Wrong Aproach on 3D-Printed Gun Bought and Displayed By London Art Museum · · Score: 1

    That's probably illegal in the UK.

  6. Re:Snowden = superhuman? on New Snowden Revelation: Terrorists Attempting To Infiltrate CIA · · Score: 1

    He probably didn't join with the intention of blowing whistles.

  7. Re:"Bank of Thailand" != "Thailand government". on Thailand Government Declares Bitcoin Illegal · · Score: 4, Informative

    Bank of Thailand is the central bank of Thailand. Bank of America is not part of the US government.

  8. Re:No Crystal Ball? on Heml.is, New Encrypted Messaging Service From Brokep of the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I explicitly mentioned tor2web.

  9. Re:No Crystal Ball? on Heml.is, New Encrypted Messaging Service From Brokep of the Pirate Bay · · Score: 2

    I don't understand why they don't make TPB a Tor hidden service. Why go to all the trouble of changing domain names all the time when they could just get an .onion/.tor2web.org address?

  10. Re:Just me or lots of OSS/*nix people dying? on Lead Developer of Yum Killed In Hit-and-run · · Score: 1

    People always think a lot of people are dying "right now", but that's because they forget about all those people who died in the past. Lots of people die all the time.

  11. Re: Not-so-accurate source on BBC Clock Inaccurate - 100 Days To Fix? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you own a window, you hereby agree to receiving my brick through it. Of course, this wonderful service is voluntary, so if you do not want to receive my brick through your window, simply remove any windows from your property.

  12. Re:Wow, another programming language? on Dao, a New Programming Language Supporting Advanced Features With Small Runtime · · Score: 1

    No one is forcing you to use it.

  13. Navigation on Drupal's Creator Aims For World Domination · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does it have a sane menu system yet?

  14. Standards on Steam For Linux: A Respectable Showing · · Score: 2

    If only they would bother creating a standards conformant window instead of trying to replicate their non-standard GUI on Linux, which results in it being unusable under tiling window managers (at least i3, which I am using).

  15. Re:There will always be a physological need on Future Fighters Won't Need Ejection Seats · · Score: 2

    A fictional movie is a movie that exists in fiction.

  16. Re:In the words of South Park on Finnish Anti-Piracy Site Pirates Thepiratebay Content · · Score: 1

    No, you're thinking of Steven Seagal.

  17. Re:Well done AMD on AMD Publishes Open-Source Radeon HD 8000 Series Driver · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So they should have released the driver a decade before they release the hardware?

  18. Re: emacs IS an ide on The History of Visual Development Environments · · Score: 1

    It really annoys me when people say vi instead of vim. It probably has something to do with “vi” often being an alias to vim on many systems.

  19. Re:Unlikely to be discontinued altogether on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    Should I walk in to an Apple store and start disassembling their computers to check if they have fan guards?

    Why wouldn't you just ask them?

    Might be easier to just require them on everything so I know that any product I buy in a shop is safe.

    So what you're saying is that because you're too lazy to research products you intend to buy properly, Apple should be forced to make their computers in the way that you prefer?

  20. Re:SRSLY? on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    Ah, collectivism. How do you know what I like? There are hundreds of millions of people living in Europe and the US, and you claim to know that Europeans always like X and americans alsways like Y? That is incredibly arrogant. Please note that this comment is not only directed at you, but also at the american you were responding to.

  21. Re:Unlikely to be discontinued altogether on Apple To Discontinue Mac Pro In EU Over Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    If you require these guards, you could install them yourself or buy a different computer. If you don't like the way Apple makes their products, don't buy them (as with any other product).

  22. Re:So.. on World's First Linux Powered Rifle Announced · · Score: 1

    Why would they sue FSF for a bug in Linux?

  23. Re:GTA V - No PC version on PC Games To Watch For In 2013 · · Score: 1

    I wish I hadn't spent my last modpoint on something else. I hope this pseudo-modpoint is adequate.

  24. Firmware on Cisco Rumored To Be Selling Linksys · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm glad they're suffering. They deserve to suffer for their decision to force their evil cloud firmware on people.

  25. Re:Mixed feelings. on Ban On Loud TV Commercials Takes Effect Today · · Score: 1

    If we don't regulate pants, then the alternative is that big business sets de facto policies for us, because they're the ones making the pants. Your only choice as a consumer is to not wear pants.
