  1. Re:FUD? on Apple: You Must Be 17+ To Use Opera · · Score: 1

    now it's lying about your age, tomorrow? Downloading music. The day after tomorrow? Robbing liqueur stores

    According to the powers that be, downloading music is far, far worse than robbing a liqueur store.

  2. Re:I am ironically.... on Posting AC - a Thing of the Past? · · Score: 1

    I love you

  3. Re:And who, exactly, is the enemy? on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't understand why we need to have a pledge of allegiance at all. That's the sort of thing that a dictatorship would have.

  4. Re:They are a business on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 1

    Then they need to stop pretending to be a science fiction channel and let a new channel pop up to handle science fiction.

  5. Anonymous: on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

  6. Underwear? on German Town Holds the Naked Sledding World Championship · · Score: 1

    30 brave souls strip down to their underwear

    Well that isn't really naked, then. Is it?

  7. Re:The rack on Do Tools Ever 'Die?' · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there are chiropractors that are interested in it.

  8. Re:Oh, I laughed when I read this on Spam Text Prematurely Blows Up Suicide Bomber · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's ok. You're allowed to be callous when you're talking about the death of terrorists.

  9. Re:Why stop it? on Drug Catapult Found At US-Mexico Border · · Score: 1

    You realize that the aim can be adjusted on these things, right? The people manning the trebuchet and the people picking up the package are probably in cell phone contact.

  10. Re:Franken is the common man on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I am not remotely surprised that a comedian could cut through the bullshit that career politicians can't. If fact, it's exactly what I would expect.

  11. Re:Does someone in Congress actually get it? on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Only a professional comedian could do it.

    The goal of a comedian is to take the stupidity of life and hold it up in full view.

    The purpose of the medieval jesters wasn't just to entertain, it was also to get the king's advisers thinking in different ways.

  12. Re:Franken may be a little crazy, but not on this on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    What exactly about him do you find "nutball"ish?

  13. Franken 2012! on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Please, Al, please run!

  14. Re:Pro VB?? on Pro Silverlight 4 In VB · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I should have said ASP.NET MVC

  15. Re:Pro VB?? on Pro Silverlight 4 In VB · · Score: 1

    Now, now. They aren't all like that. Take me for instance. I program in VB.NET.

    Granted, the only reason I do is because when I took my current job everything was already done in VB.NET.

    One of my goals for this year is to rewrite the system in C# (learning about MVC for this too).

  16. Re:They only needed the aluminim transparent... on DoE Develops Flexible Glass Stronger Than Steel · · Score: 2

    They also needed something to trade to the guy in order to get the tank walls.

  17. Re:Doesn't Jenny McCarthy look stupid now on Autism-Vax Doc Scandal Was Pharma Business Scam · · Score: 2

    Oh please. If she even hears about this, she'll just attribute it to a conspiracy against him.

  18. I am torn on Google Goggles Solves Sudoku · · Score: 1

    Ok, its pretty amazing that this kind of thing is possible, but what is the point in using it? If you are going to just have your phone solve the puzzle for you, why bother picking up the sudoku in the first place?

  19. Re:Americans, I presume? on College Students Lack Scientific Literacy · · Score: 1

    How exactly do they "not allow" it?

  20. Re:The Right Way on Star Wars Coming To Blu-ray In September · · Score: 1

    No, in this version Han will shoot first, but all his blaster will do is shoot out a little flag that says "ZAP" on it.

  21. Re:any chance on The Smartphone That Spies, and Other Surprises · · Score: 1

    Depending on the state where you live, and generally the laws are about secretly recording conversations. All you have to do is tell the person you're recording them before they say anything.

  22. Re:Color me Stupid on Obama FCC Caves On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    How do you figure it is?

    FOX hates Obama because he isn't a conservative. We hate Obama because he might as well be a conservative for as much as he's working for them.

  23. Re:How long will IPv6 last? on Military Pressuring Vendors On IPv6 · · Score: 1

    IPv6 has enough address space to give a unique IP address to every particle in the universe.

  24. Re:NO! on Yahoo! To Close Delicious · · Score: 1

    I am a delicious user. I am not, however, a google bookmarks user, so I don't know that it isn't a decent replacement. I don't know what is, though.

    I'm just saying that google wouldn't waste their money on something they already have. If they want the functionality of delicious, they can just modify their own system to mimic the capabilities of delicious and let you import a delicious export file. (you can already import a file from delicious, but you have to have firefox format it first.)

  25. Re:"Google, of course, recommends Chrome." on Browsing the Body · · Score: 1

    You need the newest version. Even then, it takes a while.
