  1. Back to ISIS HQ on Woman Attacked In San Francisco Bar For Wearing Google Glass · · Score: 1

    "Yeah. That's it. (barfs)" And then Archer left the bar. Picking up this lady now seemed a lost cause.

  2. The Boston Marathon demonstrates without question that he is not correct.

    Didn't you read the intro? After attempting to wipe away some spittle from his masticating apparatus, his cog webbed negatron brain caused him to clearly utter: "I would argue that what effectiveness we have seen to date is totally irrelevant to how effective it might be in the future."

    But I think he was referring to his own capacity of clear thought.

  3. Re:Really, it's kind of lame at this point... on Microsoft Fined €561 Million For Non-compliance With EU Browser Settlement · · Score: 1

    Where is there fine.

    There fine is probably over their.

  4. Re:Count me out on Will Real Name Policies Improve Comments? · · Score: 1

    Teenage girls? For some reason I'm always tempted to attribute those astonishingly backward comments containing "retard/faggot/nigger/etc" words to the mindset of pimply pubescent BOYS utterly lacking any grace, respect or self worth. Sort of like tagging walls to prove that your existence is not futile, and that you do matter (despite your alcoholic deadbeat parents stating otherwise). Perhaps you're right, and it's been girls spilling their bile all along.

  5. Re:You get what you pay for on Online Courses and the $100 Graduate Degree · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see who self starters w/ their $100 degrees are likely to hire when they start becoming successful. Would they hire the folks with the same $100 degree or the folks who are part of the much more expensive "insider" system?

  6. Re:Looks like... on Oz Govt Pushes Ahead With ISP Customer Data Retention · · Score: 1

    I love the way you start your post with utmost respect... Such a charming enlighten'd brain you must have -- you definitely make me want to vote for whomever you are supporting.

  7. Re:Venerated as a demi-god on World Cup Memo Written By Steve Jobs Going Up For Auction · · Score: 1, Insightful

    right now I'm too busy fucking your mom.......

    I guess that answers the question whether or not you were dropped on your head as a child.

  8. Re:Freemium at its best on Facebook Tests the Waters With Paid Perks · · Score: 1

    a mechanism that people can reasonably expect should work on the largest social networking provider in existence at the moment.

    You are not Facebook's customer, you are Facebook's product. Facebook will care for their product (=you) only just enough to prevent you from leaving.

    Facebook is more a "giant private data collection vortex" than a "social networking provider". It monetises your data and gives you enough "tools" to voluntary share as much personal stuff as they can get away with, leaving you with the illusion that you've gained the upper hand in this exchange.

  9. Re:So many bad ideas in this... on Dealing With the Eventual Collapse of Social Networks · · Score: 1

    This faggot gives me a case of Tourette

    You seem intelligent, but your use of the word "faggot" spoils the effect.

  10. Re:Probably lost the sale, too! on Russian Superjet 100 Crashes During Demo Flight, Killing All Aboard · · Score: 1

    The first there and/or with tech to quickly get there and utilize any game changing discovery will greatly benefit.

    Provided they don't bankrupt themselves in the process.

    If you don't bother starting your sentences with capitals, I shan't bother reading your post. Respect your readers and they shall read...

  13. Re:In the end on Microsoft Buys 800 AOL Patents For $1 Billion · · Score: 1

    A patent pool company (until now unbeknown to me) that has registered the bootstrap "the standard for standards". The horror...the horror.

    If their website is anything to go by, they make themselves look like foolish small fish. But I guess, to be trading water in the patent pool, one has to have larger shark fins. I could be mistaken though.

  14. In the end on Microsoft Buys 800 AOL Patents For $1 Billion · · Score: 5, Funny

    We, as small time tech entrepreneurs, will be able to rest assured that we shall only be sued by either Apple, Microsoft or Google (or a combination of these). That should simplify matters.

  15. Re:Get ready for it, Slashtards. on Company Designs "Big Brother Chip" · · Score: 1

    Sweet! I am so getting into the tinfoil overall business. Just think of all the people who would care about this very issue! Oh wait...

    If I could mod you up past 5/funny, I would. Thanks for making us laugh.

  16. Re:Not exactly a new threat, but... on Company Designs "Big Brother Chip" · · Score: 2

    Think about this technology in the hands of entities far more dangerous than merchants; law enforcement, for example.

    More dangerous than merchants? Is that even possible?

    Looks like another example of technology catching up with our greed.

  17. Re:I have an idea on Survey Says Bosses Fear Being Filmed By Employees · · Score: 1

    That's about the only thing a sociopath fears. That's why the "threat" of video documentation is so effective.

    Agreed. But I think we're getting some things backwards: ethical people have little to fear re becoming front page copy since their ethical actions are generally not deemed "news worthy". If however, a sociopath decides not to do something out of fear of being caught it has little to do with his/her burdened conscious.

    Backwards, as if Descartes would have said: I am, therefore I think. And we all know that not always to be the case.

  18. Re:I have an idea on Survey Says Bosses Fear Being Filmed By Employees · · Score: 1

    That's Business Ethics 101 - if you're doing something at work that you wouldn't want posted on the front page of the local newspapers, don't do it.

    Your statement has very little to do with ethics per se. Our society allows for plenty of ethically dubious stuff to go down while still perfectly okay to land the front page.

    I guess, your statement has more to do with simply not wanting to get caught than being ethical.

  19. Re:Well, does it? on Australian National Broadband Network Releases 3-Year Plan · · Score: 1

    You sound like it's a certainty that the coalition will get back in. I'm not so sure. After all, Abbott is leading the party...

    Whereas you're clearly doing great things with your life.....

    Thanks AC. You've restored my "miserably failing" faith in the institution of AC posting by putting a smile right where it belongs: on my face!

    You make some very good points, but this just seems downright silly:

    Rumblefish, these slimy pieces of shit who are probably well-known child molestors (the reason for their secrecy)

    Child molestors? WTF??? Do you know something that I don't? Care to elaborate?

  23. Re:evil and EVIL on Users Spend More Time On Myspace Than Google+ · · Score: 1

    I've been blocking Google Analytics for years now (simple addition to my "host" file).

    Even as a web developer I have long since wondered about both the ethics involved in letting Google track your visitors and the usefulness of this--some folks seem to go completely bat shit crazy over stats rather than focussing on presenting a decent value proposition to their (potential) clients.
