  1. Re:1 state down, 49 left on Maine Rejects Federally Mandated ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Soon Maine will be come a state of elderly crotchety people, just like Florida, but without the beaches and spring break crowds.

    Old Orchard Beach?

  2. Re:Untrue! on Why the iPhone Keynote Was A Mistake · · Score: 1

    Right, that's the bummer. The reason is that RIM just basically doesn't support Macs, even as far as desktop software goes.

    Bummer, RIM, and Macs all in the same line? Don't you think the "Mac users are gay" troll is getting a bit old?

    "PC LOAD LETTER"? What the fuck does that mean?

    In America even our meters are bigger.

  5. Re:Touchscreen Keypads Suck! on iPhone, Apple TV Headline MacWorld Keynote · · Score: 1

    There is no tactile feel.

    There's nothing stopping the iPhone from using its speaker to do "click" sounds/vibrations like the iPod does when a key area is tapped.

  6. Re:What kind of videos SHOULD be censored? on Second Life Mogul Challenges Press Freedom · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would think that you were falling victim to a slippery slope fallacy. Rape is rape. Flying penis interruption is not rape, not even close.

    Frankly, I think this woman got off lightly. In a virtual world I'd be assassinating her annoying ass or burning down her holdings just for fun. If I really cared about the press fawning over a glorified real estate developer I could just watch TV in real life.

  7. Does anyone have a physical address for the RIAA? on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 1

    I've looked all over the site and can't find one. It's a shame, because I have a flaming bag of poop to leave on their doorstep.

  8. 11,000 football fields on Giant Ice Shelf Snaps · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How many Libraries of Congress is that?

  9. Re:Generation M is... on College Freshmen Struggle With Tech Literacy · · Score: 1
    Generation M is the Internet generation.


    Apparently not if they struggle with tech literacy.

    It's probably short for "motherfucking kids can't even use a computer."
  10. Re:Many can't afford their own wares on Making Time With the Watchmakers · · Score: 1
    It's also good advertising - a nice rolex, even the simpler ones, should start more than a couple conversations.


    Unfortunately, those conversations would probably be along the lines of "What kind of a mid-level programmer at this company has a Rolex? The CEO doesn't even wear one." and "Give me your wallet, rich guy. And that Rolex too."

    I suppose its editorial page is called the Peacemaker?

    Sorry, '80s joke there, kids.

    As a matter of fact, I was.

  13. I believe it on Sense of Smell Tied To Quantum Physics? · · Score: 1

    The guy on the subway tonight had some serious quantum funk coming off him. It's as though every particle was trying desperately to get away and warn the others.

  14. Re:Big whoop on The Demise of the Professional Photojournalist · · Score: 3, Funny

    Failed photographers who just so happen to own a vest with lots of pockets. Not so easy now, is it? How 'bout a little respect.

  15. Call me crazy... on DHS Passenger Scoring Almost Certainly Illegal · · Score: 3, Insightful
    When passengers deplane, Customs and Border Protection personnel then target the high scorers for extra screening.


    But wouldn't it make more sense to give those high scorers extra screening before they got on the plane?
  16. Re:Inefficient use of funds on Intelligent Satellite Notices Volcanic Activity · · Score: 1
    Look at a city like New York. It's a vibrant, changing, economic powerhouse. Part of that, I think, is that the city is so filled with the arts- writers, photographers, musicians, scholars and soforth- that it's just a damn interesting place to live. Many of the best and the brightest from across the nation are drawn to the city because they want to experience a place that's alive intellectually and artistically, and in the long term that helps the city to reap huge economic benefits.


    Actually they come here for weird sex. The fact that they have to spend money to get it is what helps the city to reap huge economic benefits.
  17. Cool on Jon Katz To Be Played By Jeff Bridges · · Score: 1

    I'm looking forward to the heartwarming scene where he and his dog bond while watching videos on his TRS-80.

  18. Re:The Chinese government did the right thing. on China Jails Porn Site Leader For Life · · Score: 1
    The entire cast of Lost or Battlestar Galactica need to be sent to prison as well, because their shows show too much skin!


    No, they need to be sent to prison because their shows suck.
  19. Re:frikken friends on Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid · · Score: 2
    Talking about human life, yes, human resource is inexpensive here in contrast to other part of the planet. it's just because of the number we got,it's not about the value we hold towards the human life.


    If large numbers are such a problem maybe the Chinese government should just split the country into four. Perhaps then human life in each of those new nations would be considered as "valuable" as it is in the United States. Well, okay, that was a poor example. How about splitting China into 40 countries, each of which values its citizens as much as Canada does?

    The really frustrating thing about the Zune is that it is essentially a terrific product.

    Dude, it's fucking brown.

  22. Re:Design by committee? on Opening Zune Sales Flaccid · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, the younger kids coming up are computer savy, have a general idea of how computers work and what you can expect out of them, and most importantly what sucks and what doesn't.

    When it comes to computers most kids today are idiots, just like their parents. Just because it's around doesn't mean that they have a clue how it works or what sucks and what doesn't.

  23. Re:More proof there's more to the iPod than market on Opening Zune Sales Flaccid · · Score: 1
    The scroll wheel introduced with the first iPod minis soon appeared on the complete iPod line when everyone including Apple realized it is what seperates it from all the other mp3 player interfaces.

    The scroll wheel already separated the iPod from the other MP3 players. The clickwheel from the Mini is what carried over to the rest of the iPod line.

    Yeah, good luck with that one.

    Some of us still remember that Rudy was a complete douchebag who was going out in a wave of scandal before a couple of airplanes distracted the media. Elephant dung, anyone? Mistress in the mansion?

    Giuliani handled 9/11 well, but he's still an ass.
