  1. I do hope they find the guy on German Court: ISPs Must Hand Over File Sharer Info · · Score: 0

    Whoever listens to Xavier Naidoo needs immediate medical attention to prevent an outbreak of dain bramage...

  2. Ooold on How Google+ Punk'd The Oatmeal · · Score: 1

    So it has been like that since the 24th of May (about a month after the original post, see the comment by Google employee Allan Cross at the bottom), and that's now being touted as news?

    Ouch.

    np: Future Sound Of London - Museum (From The Archives Vol. 2)

  3. Re:Too late... on FCC Rules That Verizon Cannot Charge For 4G Tethering · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be "the iRony"?

  4. Re:No. on Will Real Name Policies Improve Comments? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, forgot to log in there for a moment...

    So - fuck no, it fucking won't.

  5. Re:One word on Can a Regular Person Repair a Damaged Hard Drive? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Betteridge's Law of Headlines applies again... :)

  6. Re:AMA? on Rob CmdrTaco Malda AMA On Reddit · · Score: 1

    It's a seal of approval for quality meat.

    I'm just wondering how much palms must have been greased for CmdrTaco to still get it after all these years...

    np: Giardini Di Mirò - Time On Time (Good Luck)

  7. It's been done... on Earth, Night Glow, Aurora and Atmosphere (Video) · · Score: 1

    This video is nice and all, but it's been done before; and to be honest I like Jan Jelinek's soundtrack better... :D

  8. Re:You get what you pay/wait for on New Analyst Report Calls Agile a Scam, Says It's An Easy Out For Lazy Devs · · Score: 1

    I'll take "Yep" and "Good".

    What do I win?

    np: School Of Seven Bells - Scavenger (Ghostory)

  9. Re:Still can't skip back 10 seconds on VLC 's Beta For Android Is Ready — Unless You're North American · · Score: 1

    Preferences > Main > Enable wheel bar

    This turns the play/pause button into a dragable button that skips back/forward up to 60 seconds according to how far you drag it until you let go. IMHO much more flexible than fixed size jump buttons.

    np: Plug - The Life Of The Mind (Drum 'n' Bass For Papa)

  10. Re:People have brains on VLC 's Beta For Android Is Ready — Unless You're North American · · Score: 1

    Methinks someone has been reading too much Hellsing...

  11. Re:Have There Ever Been Good Updates From Sony? on Android 4.0 Upgrade For Sony Xperia Smartphones Opens a Pandora Box · · Score: 1

    Aren't updates from Sony almost always related to shutting off features or disabling jailbreaks or crippling functionality that they perceive as a threat? Has Sony ever released an update (and left it in place) that opened up their products or added some great free feature that was met with applause by customers? What was it?

    What, you mean like this site?

    I don't think too many other Android manufacturers support that...

    np: Future Sound Of London - Papua New Guinea (Accelerator)

  12. Re:my suggestion: on Liu Yang Becomes China's First Female Astronaut · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure there's no kangaroos in space either...

    np: Future Sound Of London - Calcium (Accelerator)

  13. Re:HTTP 451 on An HTTP Status Code For Censorship? · · Score: 1

    That was fast - "A New HTTP Status Code for Legally-restricted Resources" by Tim Bray of Google...

  14. Re:Fan death on South Korea Surrenders To Creationist Demands On Evolution Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Or just your run-of-the-mill world domination seeking fan... yes, that kind of fan.

  15. Oh, you... on Google Applies For Dot-LOL Domain · · Score: 1

    So they're doing it just for the lulz, errr, lols?

    np: Sóley - Smashed Birds (We Sink)

  16. Re:Bad for his career on Wil Wheaton: BitTorrent Isn't Only For Piracy · · Score: 1

    I thought the only thing keeping his career alive was guest appearances as an evil master hacker on Leverage. :)

    FTFY.

    np: Leftfield - Song Of Life (Tourism (Disc 1))

  17. Re:Actually, ALL big-name home pc's are 30 years o on 30 Years of the TRS-80 Model 100 · · Score: 1

    Ha. My Atari 800XL was released in late 1983, so I'm safe for another year...

    Nah, just kidding - I'm feeling old just the same.

    np: Public Image Ltd. - U.S.L.S. 1 (9)

  18. Re:Vaporware on Pixel Qi Says Next-Gen Displays Meet or Beat iPad 3 Screen Quality · · Score: 2

    Great, so how do I swap the screen in my existing laptop with theirs? An external USB-attachable display isn't going to cut it, and a handful of no-name tablets and one obscure notebook isn't going to cut it, especially not internationally.

    Unless Apple, Lenovo, Dell, HP, Sony etc. sell devices with their screens they might as well not exist...

  19. Re:Vaporware on Pixel Qi Says Next-Gen Displays Meet or Beat iPad 3 Screen Quality · · Score: 1, Troll

    If only they had been in real, useable products instead of overhyped shite like the OLPCs...

  20. Re:Book this! on Facebook Asserts Trademark On "Book" In New User Agreement · · Score: 1

    *cough*

    np: Wiley - Money Man (Evolve Or Be Extinct (Disc 1))

  21. I'd prefer the world stayed sans Sarif...

  22. Re:Han Fried First on Warp Drives May Come With a Killer Downside · · Score: 1

    The falcon, being the first spaceship in the SW universe to be seen going into (and out of) FTL, makes Han Solo the first fryer.

    ITYM "Frequent Fryer"...

    np: Deichkind - 99 Bierkanister (Befehl Von Ganz Unten)

  23. Re:Obviously on Police Find Apple Branded Stoves In China · · Score: 1

    Apple's new slogan: "Kiss the cook"... >_

  24. What a waste... on Philatelists Push Petition For Pluto Probe Postage · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why would anyone replace the perfectly good "pertaining" with "for" in that subject?

  25. Re:c't on Ask Slashdot: Does Europe Have Better Magazines Than the US? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that contrary to the angry fruit salad cover layout of many other German IT publications you can actually look at the c't covers without getting eye cancer...
