  1. Re:Are movies worth it? on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    WTF. He didn't say that the movies being released were crap, just that they didn't keep him engaged. Pretentious of you to think that because you think highly of the movies listed then so must everyone else.

  2. I was surprised on Facebook Is Most Hated Social Media Company · · Score: 1

    I was surprised to see Wikipedia listed as a "social media" site.

  3. Re:Price? on Lenovo Unveils Android ThinkPad and IdeaPad Slates · · Score: 1

    Yes, from TFA the keyboard is $99.

  4. There's only a handful on Carmack Addresses FPS Creativity Concerns · · Score: 1

    IMO there's only a handful of great FPS.
    For me: Duke Nukem (the original), Unreal (first one), and Half Life (first one). All of those games really made me just say "wow" and I enjoyed them thoroughly. There's others that I enjoy, Quake 2 comes to mind.. I used to love to play online when my ISP provided a dedicated server for customers. It was fun, but not in the same class as the others I mentioned.

    Hey, on another topic. WTF is up with this whole "AAA Title" bullshit? How is a "AAA Title" defined? Something that John Carmack squats down and delivers to the fans beneath him?

  5. Re:"if the movie stinks, just don't go." on Carmack Addresses FPS Creativity Concerns · · Score: 1

    Yes, HL2(and ep 2) had those annoying boat and car scenes, but I trust Carmack and co to get this one right.

    I thought those were fun.. /shrug

    I know what you mean.

    Thanks! No more of that experts exchange garbage! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqWRaAF6_WY

  8. Re:Kill Bill on Napkins and the History of Ethernet, Compaq, Facebook · · Score: 1

    Original concept for Kill Bill was also written out on napkins.

    That explains a lot.

  9. Re:survived? on iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket · · Score: 1

    Yep.. it's a lame idea for an article. In other news, the titanic has survived sinking in the ocean because with only a few billion dollars it could be repaired.

  10. Re:And this applies exclusively to IT. on Outgoing Federal CIO Warns of 'IT Cartel' In DC · · Score: 1

    You may not have been paying attention over say the past.. 20 or so years, but that corruption exists in every state's government. The specifics may involve infrastructure, rigging presidential elections (like we had with G. Bush when his brother was running FL) or as "simple" as the Sarah Palin scandal that resulted in her leaving office early.

    Like unicorns, I've never heard of an honest politician... Rumors, yes; but they are quickly debunked.

  11. Re:It's a growing list on Facial Recognition Gone Wrong · · Score: 1

    This is a good thing. Especially if some criminal stole your identity and picture. They should work on communicating with people better though.

    I think you'd have a hard time convincing John H. Gass

  12. Re:Prior Art? on Company Claims Ownership of Digital Messaging · · Score: 1

    Surely the SMTP protocol is a one way messaging protocol - and is older than I am!

    Yeah that or Morse code. Or maybe Indian smoke signals. Or Prehistoric Cave paintings. I think all of those are "one way messaging protocols" more or less.

  13. Re:Grammar nazi alert on NASA Probe Orbiting Asteroid Vesta · · Score: 1

    I guess that's for people who are into S&M.

  14. Re:Conspiracy! on The Science Behind Fanboyism · · Score: 1

    I don't think I'd purchase any product that had "OMG" printed on the packaging.

  16. The solution on IT Night Shift Workers: Fat and Undersexed · · Score: 1

    Legalize and regulate prostitution in the US. Then books like "How to Lose Weight Through Sex" can be put into practice. I bet French IT workers aren't undersexed.

  17. (At least until it gets shut down as a security th on Undersea Cable Map Shows Where The Data Pipes Are · · Score: 1

    From TFA: (At least until it gets shut down as a security threat.)

    Looks like it's already been slashdotted, so they won't need to.

  18. Re:Well on the bright side on New SMS Trojan Found In Android Markets · · Score: 1

    I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Code signing in it's current form is merely a revenue vehicle for the signing authority and does not mean the slightest thing in relation to quality. In the end it may have the opposite effect since it lulls users into a false sense of security.

  19. You're not alone on Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie · · Score: 1

    I'm psyched!

  20. Re:Silly Gates.... on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    Why not just use seawater for toilets. It's not a potable system anyway. This way you're not wasting fresh water. I guess you still have to do something with the waste, but that seems like 1/2 the battle right there.

  21. Re:Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation != Microsoft on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    Besides that, the BSOD died in 2000. Few people under 25 will even get the reference.

    It's still alive and well. I think I heard they were changing the color in win8 (black or something?). AFAIK all operating systems have some kind of variant from the guru meditation error on Amiga to the text based kernel panic on linux or the black "you need to restart your computer" os crash on MacOS. Microsoft just got famous for it because their OS was very pervasive, and the fact that it's relatively easy to crash the os due to the os allowing direct hardware access to user mode software.

    I can recognize a good thing when I see it and making BSoD jokes when it comes to the foundation just belittles the work they do.

    They do seem to be interested in doing some good. I think he's trying to atone for his sins before he dies. Whatever the reason, I struggle to trust anything Mr. Bill does even when it really is a good thing. Human nature, I suppose.

    Who is better, the Christian that goes to church every Sunday and makes sure everyone knows he goes to church, or the Christian that doesn't always go to church, but volunteers at the soup kitchen downtown and tells nobody?

    The Christian that goes to church every Sunday.

  23. Re:Time to change Bill's 'Borg' icon on W3C Chastises Apple On HTML5 Patenting · · Score: 1

    I think they should re introduce the stockades. If a company does this, then the executives must spend 48 hours in stockades on a public street and the company should be made to fund buckets of rotten fruit and veggies for passers buy to throw.

  24. Re:Interesting fact on Zuckerberg Quits Google+ Over Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    When you sign up to Google+, see these very information: - Google can use your information to prodive targeted marketing across Google sites and every affiliated site (ie. millions of sites where AdWords is installed) - Show photo geo location information in newly uploaded albums and photos. - Show this profile publicly (enabled by default)

    I just signed up about 20 minutes ago. You got it partially right. What you see are those exact words with checkboxes next to them so you can allow or disallow those things.

  25. Re:Well on the bright side on New SMS Trojan Found In Android Markets · · Score: 1

    I think that would be people who:
    1) Want to use an unverified app or app store
    and
    2) Know how to do it.

    That's one of the problems with Apple. They treat all their customers like idiots when it's possible that some of their customers may not be.
