  1. Re:Good news, Eurpeans! on Sony PlayStation 3 Imports Temporarily Banned In Europe · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Not weird really. The injunction is against Sony, not the merchant that is selling them.

  2. Re:Good News, Bad News on Consumers Buy Less Tech Stuff, Keep It Longer · · Score: 1

    After all, you can't sell expansions, DLC's and new games if the gamers are playing your perfect game.

    Not always true. Dragon Age, Oblivion, Fallout 3 & NWN 2 did pretty good in both respects.

  3. Re:Appeal on Julian Assange To Be Extradited To Sweden · · Score: 1

    Such a law already has legal precedence against it (USA vs. New York Times).

  4. Re:Appeal on Julian Assange To Be Extradited To Sweden · · Score: 1

    Which would be a retroactive application of the law & unconstitutional.

  5. Re:$20 for the fighting spirit on GeoHot Asks For Donations To Fight Sony · · Score: 1

    But you're a cowardly AC, so who gives a fuck?

  6. Re:Home movies and homebrew games on Goodbye, HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, but at the same time you were comparing a general purpose computer with a single purpose video game console.

  7. Re:Home movies and homebrew games on Goodbye, HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    Which has fuck all to do with grandparents home movies.

  8. Re:Home movies and homebrew games on Goodbye, HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    Kids don't purchase expensive electronics.

  9. Re:Not what they say it is.... on Goodbye, HD Component Video · · Score: 1

    Yeah right. That will last right up until grandma & grandpa can't watch home movies on their new HDTV.

  10. Re:Not sure why people are knocking it on Watch IBM's Watson On Jeopardy Tonight · · Score: 1

    Which it failed at doing at least once during the first Jeopardy round.

  11. Re:Encryption on Insider-Trading Suspects Smash Hard Drive Evidence · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So? I'd gladly take a misdemeanor if it meant they had no evidence that a crime was committed.

    Another poorly thought-out law written by stupid assholes that don't understand the first fucking thing about computers.

  12. Re:MPAA Comedy on MPAA Threatens To Disconnect Google From Internet · · Score: 1

    Why would Bing want to mess up their search engine back end?

    : D

  13. Re:1st Amendment on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking. I doubt she will have any luck shutting down anything from before she trademarked her name though.

  14. Re:1st Amendment on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 1, Informative

    Just count how many people scramble around looking for ways to shut her down, compared to the number of people she's said should be prevented from speaking (none, that I'm aware of).

    No, the stupid cunt just wants to kill them instead.

  15. 1st Amendment on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 4, Insightful

    $10 says she uses this as a club to try to quell speech that she doesn't like.

  16. Re:OR on Prison Cell Phone Smuggling Out of Control · · Score: 4, Informative

    They kinda do that here in Florida. Some prisons have their own microcell that grabs the signal from any cell phone in use on the prison grounds. If you aren't using an authorized phone, the signal doesn't go out & the guards are alerted.

  17. Re:Don't give your paying customers a reason to qu on PS3 Piracy Threats Cause Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 1

    Yes, the CEO since 2005 is American, but I seriously doubt Sony's corporate culture is. You don't really think he makes every single decision for each division, do you?

  18. Re:Don't give your paying customers a reason to qu on PS3 Piracy Threats Cause Phone-Home DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For some reason, control is more important than profit to some companies.

  19. Re:It happens on 'Death By GPS' Increasing In America's Wilderness · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Pretty hard to protect people from their own stupidity.

  20. I don't get it. on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Can someone explain to me how it's even possible to "cheat" in Microsoft's little walled playground? I thought that was the whole point of a closed console network.

  21. Re:Usual Excuses on Two-Thirds of US Internet Users Lack Fast Broadband · · Score: 1

    I quite literally live in the middle of a swamp in northern Florida & my DSL does 6mb down / 1mb up according to the tests & DLSreports. I'm probably the exception since I live in a county that *isn't* "owned" by a large telecom.

  22. Re:sigh on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 1

    I didn't even get that far with it.

  23. Re:Streaming is great if you like bad movies on Mail Service Costs Netflix 20x More Than Streaming · · Score: 1

    I don't use NetFlix, but my many friends that do have nothing but good things to say about the streaming part of it.

  24. Re:he is the one in trouble? on Criminal Charges Filed Against AT&T iPad Attacker · · Score: 2

    Auernheimer made headlines last June when he discovered that AT&T's website was disclosing the e-mail addresses and the unique ICC-ID numbers of multiple iPad owners. Claiming that he wanted to help AT&T improve its security, he wrote a computer script to extract the data from AT&T and then went public with the information. AT&T said that nobody from Auernheimer's hacking group contacted it about the flaw.

    That pretty much sums it up. I wonder if the EFF will get involved?

  25. Re:Final Fantasy VII-2 please on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 1

    Does Crisis Core or Dirge of Cerberus count? I doubt you will see anything else out of the FF7 franchise anytime soon.
