  1. Re:And in other news on UK Government To Monitor All Internet Use · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    "New American Tea Party"

    AKA "Republicantards".

  2. Re:I must not use it? on RMS Says "Software As a Service" Is Non-free · · Score: 1

    Revenue from advertising drying up - as it will some day.

  3. Re:Not to be an apologist... on iPhone App Refund Policies Could Cost Devs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why should Apple eat that cost?

    Because they are an evil corporation with billions of dollars in revenue derived from over-priced products.

    How many stones is that?

    I'm still waiting for the "Gracious Goatse" release of Unbuntu.

  6. Re:Misdirection on Ballmer Scorns Apple As a $500 Logo · · Score: 1

    Except I don't want a Mac Mini (very hard to expand toy) or a Mac Pro (high-end $$$$ workstation). I want something in the middle. And no, I don't want an all-in one (iMac) that is very difficult to expand or a laptop. Back in the earlier days, the Apple ][ was a perfect example of expansion. Apple has tossed all that out the door and given us overpriced bling.

    Declare all elections held using Diebold equipment null and void. See what happens then.

    They should have called it "Tonto" - as only a true 'tonto' would pay $2K US for an over-priced pile of under-spec'd door wedgery.

  10. Re:In Soviet Russia... on Card-Sniffing Malware On Diebold ATMs · · Score: 1

    The joke reversal is that "Soviet Russia" ceased to exist late last century.

    The bad joke is that /.tards keep beating this meme to death over and over and over and over and over again.

  11. Re:Tweet? on Juror Tweets Could Create Mistrial · · Score: 1

    Awhile back an art gallery paid $4 million for an 'abstract' painting. One half of the canvas was red, the other half was white. At some point someone is really suckering someone else...

    Let me know what retarded word you come up with to describe your service's micro-blog posts so that we can make fun of it here and get modded appropriately too.

    The name of the service is "Twatter". The rest is left as an exercise for the student.

    that's what you get for abusing a free service. Happy now?

    No. That's what you get for offering a service without a proper business model behind it.

    You mean like Twitter, or Twatter, or whatever it's called.

    A really clever solider would have gone to the local Canadian Tire, bought some spark plugs and masking tape. He would have taped the spark plug packing and written "Diesel Spark Plugs" on it and handed them back.

  16. Re:Fashion reviews? Seriously? on Traveling With Tom Bihn's Checkpoint Flyer · · Score: 1

    What's even worse, is the functionality of this fashion is dictated by the TSA.

    Which is all great and wonderful, however, there is still the minor issue of collecting the energy from the process and feeding it back to sustain it - and tap some off to use it elsewhere.

    When did virtual machines start getting referred to as "Appliances"?

    When the "Marketing Department" got involved.

  22. Re:google running our government IT? on America's New CIO Loves Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Google as an entity isn't going anywhere

    As a Google fanboi you would know that Google's primary source of revenue is advertising. If that ever dries up or declines for whatever reason, there is no way in hell they could afford to keep going without actually charging large sums of money for all the free services they provide that are currently funded by ad revenue. This is Google's single point of failure and Achilles' heel. In other word, only an idiot would outsource a companies IT infrastructure to an advertising company.
