  1. Except it didn't. on The Pirate Bay Returns, Anonymous Hater Takes Credit For DDoS · · Score: 4, Informative

    kept the site offline for days

    As several people pointed out in the last article, getting to the site was trivial.
    It was hardly down.

  2. All of the above. on The Pirate Bay Suffering Global Outage From Massive DDoS Attack · · Score: 3, Informative

    Cyberwarfare by pimple-faced teenagers screwing up the routing tables.

  3. Yeah, no. on Judge to Oracle: A High Schooler Could Write rangeCheck · · Score: 1

    'I'm not an expert on Java — this is my second case on Java, but I'm a complete retard, and I probably couldn't program that in six months.'

    Because this is the only way that statement is true, even I could figure this out in quicker than 6 months.
    Glad to see the judge called this guy on his BS.

  4. ...what? on General Motors: "Facebook Ads Aren't Worth It" · · Score: 2

    General Motors spends around $40 million per year on maintaining a Facebook profile and around a quarter of that goes into paid advertising.

    So, that's 10 million into ads, where does the other 30 go?
    If you're seriously paying some shmuck 30 million dollars a year to upkeep a facebook profile, fire him.
    I'll do the job for only 5 million.

  5. This says it all. on Iranian Physics Student From UT Gets 10 Years In Jail For Spying · · Score: 2

    He has consistently denied the charges, and refused to speak at his trial, where no evidence against him was presented.

    You're guilty because we say so.

  6. This just in! on Wozniak Calls For Open Apple · · Score: 2

    Steve Wozniak is now open for employment.

  7. Not for long... on Foxconn CEO Fuels iTV Rumors · · Score: 1

    CEO of Apple's main hardware supplier Foxconn

    will be manufactured by a 50-50 joint venture between Foxconn and the Japanese manufacturer Sharp

    I'm willing to bet one of these facts is about to change.
    Either this CEO is going to get canned, or Apple will be giving that 50% to someone else.

  8. haha, what? on Wear a Mask During a Protest In Canada: 10 Years In Jail · · Score: 2

    The 10-year penalty is more than double the penalty awarded to a person who murdered someone in a fit of 'road-rage' recently

    Because wearing a mask is twice as bad as murdering someone.
    Lets hope no one is caught wearing a mask while they commit a murder.

  9. That's fine. on Microsoft Blocks 3d-Party Browsers In Windows RT, Says Mozilla Counsel · · Score: 3, Funny

    3D gives me headaches anyway.

  10. Downloading? on NY Ruling Distinguishes Downloading, Viewing Child Pornography · · Score: -1, Troll

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but technically don't you download a page in order to view it?

  11. Re:The Solution on Overheated Voting Machine Cast Its Own Votes · · Score: 1

    Why can we not do this? Is it because people in power want a way to cheat?

    Yep.
    It seems painfully easy to make a machine that would work, so I can only assume that's the reason.

  12. Re:Yep, more of the same on US Air Force Can 'Accidentally' Spy On American Citizens For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    You going to put up the money for me to break my lease, transport my furniture, new living situation, new job, etc?
    Moving is not free, if I got those offers outside the US, I'd accept them in a heartbeat.
    There's a reason our country does everything in their power to keep us all broke, the second I can afford to get out, I'm gone.

  13. BART you say? on Government Asks When It Can Shut Down Wireless Communications · · Score: 1

    Have them right "I will not turn off Wireless Communications" on a blackboard over and over again until they get the point.

  14. Right... on Nokia Faces Class-Action Suit Over Windows Phone Deal · · Score: 1

    defendants told investors that Nokia's conversion to a Windows platform would halt its deteriorating position in the smartphone market...It did not.'"

    And you think hitting them with a lawsuit will?

  15. Re:AT&T 150GB cap on Sony Put Video Service on Hold Due to Comcast Data Caps · · Score: 1

    I've never liked this kind of logic.
    It's like saying "Oh, think of yourself lucky, you only lost a leg. I lost both my arms!"
    Both situations are bad, and neither should exist.

  16. Re:Not really. on German Court Grants Motorola Xbox and Windows 7 Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    I did not understand that it was a counter-suit (so thank you for that), but I never once stated that Microsoft was in the right either.
    Seems most comments here misinterpreted my comment as saying such.

  17. Re:Whaaaaaaa on German Court Grants Motorola Xbox and Windows 7 Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see Microsoft get a taste of their own medicine.
    I just fail to see why anything in this news is "surprising"

  18. Re:Not really. on German Court Grants Motorola Xbox and Windows 7 Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    I'd kick him out of my store, that doesn't mean I'd go to his store and do the same.

  19. Not really. on German Court Grants Motorola Xbox and Windows 7 Sales Ban · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In a surprising move

    I don't see what's so surprising about it.
    Google has proven quite a few times as of late it's just as bad as every other company.
    So why wouldn't they pull a move often used by every other bad company?

  20. Herp Derp on Venus To Transit the Sun In June, Not Again Until 2117 · · Score: 1

    Transits occur in pairs separated by eight years

    Somehow my mind skipped over this. IGNORE ME.

  21. ...huh? on Venus To Transit the Sun In June, Not Again Until 2117 · · Score: 1

    Transits occur in pairs separated by eight years, with the gap between pairs of transits alternating between 105.5 and 121.5 years — the last transit was in 2004.

    So, what you're saying is that 8 is equal to 105.5 or 121.5?
    I don't know what planet you're from, but that math is very, very wrong.
    It's wrong to the point that even I noticed that.

  22. Re:Here we go on Introducing SlashBI · · Score: 1

    I pretty much see him as Atlas, he was trying so hard to keep the sky from falling.
    But he's only one man, and eventually he just gave up and let it fall.

  23. Hilarious. on Hulu To Require Viewers To Have Cable Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Hey Hulu, you hear that?
    That's the sound of the majority of your users dropping your service.
    Are cable companies the new newspaper industry?

  24. Seriously? on WW2 Vet Sent 300,000 Pirated DVDs To Troops In Iraq, Afghanistan · · Score: 5, Funny

    The studios send reel-to-reel films to the troops.

    Did you send them vinyl records too?
    Maybe a few laserdiscs?

  25. I swear... on Privacy Advocates Slam Google Drive's Privacy Policies · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem that hard to start up something like this, I'm half tempted to buy a few servers and start my own small scale hosting site.
    The only thing in the privacy policy will just be "This shit is yours. I'm not going to use it in any way"
