  1. Hah on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 1, Funny

    Verizon: Do you hear me now, motherfuckers?

  2. Re:HTPC gaming chicken-and-egg on Kojima Predicts the End of the Console · · Score: 1

    Unreal Tournament III for the PC not only does splitscreen, it will also do quad splitscreen. Unfortunately it appears that the only controllers that will work for this are the X-box controllers which kinda defeats the purpose of a PC FPS (at least for me, never could use console controllers for FPS games).

  3. Re:HTPC gaming at a party on Kojima Predicts the End of the Console · · Score: 1

    A - Have a party.

    That's one of the scenarios I was asking about. If you're having a party, and you're boycotting the consoles, what PC game do you load on the HTPC to play with your friends? Or by "party" did you mean "LAN party", which defeats the purpose of an HTPC?

    Any of these I guess.

    Christ, I don't think I've ever even heard of these guys. They should have took the money & ran.

    Won't load for me on Firefox 3.6.3. Did we just Slashdot MS?

  7. Re:Great news for solicitors! on Digital Economy Bill Passed In the UK · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They will just add the Pirate Party to that list of blocked websites, along with Wikileaks. Can't have the Pirate party interfering with business interests of those in power, can we?

    Yup, the UK is fucked.

  12. Re:They also left out a good deal of context on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    And this is war.

    No it's not. If we'd actually, you know, declare war on a country that would be a different story. This was a UN police action that spiraled horribly out of control & has frankly, gone on way longer than it should have.

  13. Re:Did you even watch the footage? on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    You need to get your eyes checked. It wasn't an RPG, it was a camera. I'm pretty sure that has been acknowledged by the military as well.

    Oh right, I forgot about them. Carry on.

    Then why haven't those stories been reported on Fox News? Or are they also now a bastion of the Democratic party as well?

  18. Re:16 years old, no legal rights against parents. on Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 2, Informative

    All depends on the state you're living in. In Florida it's completely legal to physically discipline your child.

    Fla. Stat. Ann. 39.01(2), (30)(f), (45) (West, WESTLAW through End of 2003 Reg. Sess.)

    Corporal discipline of a child by a parent, legal custodian, or caregiver for disciplinary purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child.

    You just can't beat them till you leave bruises or welts. If you use a wide enough paddle, this won't happen because of the surface area. My parents used to use a cut down boat oar. Hurt like a mofo, but never left marks.

    I wonder if there is any correlation between states that have outlawed physically disciplining minors & instances of youth offenders?

  19. Re:Anonymous Coward on Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail · · Score: 1

    And you know, Google is a publicly traded company with shareholders who can tell the company to do anything they like.

    You had an intelligent post till right there. Everyone knows that Larry & Sergei have complete voting control over Google until they sell their stock (which granted, will be sooner than later).

    Try wearing your seatbelt next time. If you had your seatbelt on & it didn't catch you, I'd get them checked.

    Use it daily, does everything I need. In fact, I doubt I could get along without it anymore due to the awesome extensions. As for bloat, nothing as trivial as a browser is bloated when you have more than 2 GB of RAM.

  24. Re:Correct on Microsoft Claims Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Personally I rather choose a paid solution where I know my privacy wont be lost and I can save documents, emails, etc on my own hard drive instead of relying on cloud computing and all the marketing and privacy intrusion to make it possible.

    You do that. I'll stick with Firefox, thanks.

    Let's work this through.... Corporate sponsorship of academic programs. IBM math teams. Barnes and Nobel language programs. Microsoft, ummm, ethics courses. That's the ticket.

    One of these things is not like the others.
