  1. Only the low six figures? on High-Frequency Programmers Revolt Over Pay · · Score: 1

    Oh those poor fragile, precious little babies! How could their mean hearted employers do that to them?

    Fuckers. I would absolutely love to make something in the low six figures. I'm an ASP.NET web dev earning something in the low 60s. I've been in the industry for 10 years and this is the best pay I've made in my life.

  2. CSS Soda Can on Microsoft Unveils Street Slide Map UI · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reminds me of the CSS Soda Can that hit the charts a few months ago.

  3. Re:So screw our Privacy right? on FBI May Get Easier Access To Internet Activity · · Score: 3, Insightful
  4. Re:debate = attempt to silence on ASCAP Refuses To Debate Lessig · · Score: 1

    I never read the book and I get it.

  5. Re:Idiot on ASCAP Refuses To Debate Lessig · · Score: 1

    But isn't the purchase price around $5?

    What percentage does the author get of a $25 dead-tree edition?

  6. Re:pr0n on Chatroulette To Log IP Addresses, Take Screenshots · · Score: 1

    Well, now we all know what sites YOU've been frequenting lately.

  7. Re:Just go to a religious school already on Louisiana, Intelligent Design, and Science Classes · · Score: 1

    Public schools are for everyone, not just the religious majority.

    Like it or not, the government isn't allowed to push religion. If you don't believe me, try reading the First Amendment.

    Creationism, or Intelligent Design, or whatever you want to call it, does not belong in a science class for one simple reason. It is not, and never will, qualify as science.

    Also, evolution and atheism have nothing to do with each other.

  8. "fallacies with the theory of evolution" on Louisiana, Intelligent Design, and Science Classes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, name one.

  9. Re:Wow! on US Senate Passes 'Libel Tourism' Bill · · Score: 1

    Um... no. Exactly the opposite. I would fully expect them to support American priorities over foreign priorities (for most foreign countries, anyway). That's why I said it doesn't really count.

  11. Wow! on US Senate Passes 'Libel Tourism' Bill · · Score: 0, Troll

    The Senate unanimously agreed to do something that is actually good?

    Of course, they are basically saying that US priorities take precedence over foreign priorities, so I suppose it doesn't really count.

    I wonder how fast they would backpedal if Israel wanted to try a US journalist. <ducks>

  12. Re:User satisfaction is irrelevant on Facebook User Satisfaction Is 'Abysmal' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The users are the product that they are selling.

    Or publicizes information that you specifically told them to keep private.

  14. Re:"Hello Mr. Yukkamoto on Tokyo Rail Billboards Scan Viewer's Age, Gender · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because it would creep too many people out and drive them away from the store.

  15. Re:So question on RIAA Accounting — How Labels Avoid Paying Musicians · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not their money, it's the label's.

    The labels have to show a few musicians that at least appear to be rich. Otherwise no one would ever sign with them.

  16. Dragging on The Mouse Vanishes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It looks like your fingers have to normally stay in contact with the table. So how does dragging work and how do you keep from dragging the mouse all the time?

  17. Re:Hardcordz on Ballmer Says Microsoft Is 'Hardcore' About Tablets · · Score: 1

    Personally, I got an image of a little munchkin Steve Ballmer saying "We're hardcore about tablets" in a helium voice while pumping his tiny fist into the air.

  18. Re:Why haven't we evolved to see IR or microwave? on Some Birds Can See Magnetic Fields · · Score: 1

    The reason we call it "infrared" is because we can't see it. If we could see it, we would just consider it part of the visible spectrum, and you'd be asking why we can't see radio waves.

  19. Re:2 words for Monsanto... on Avoiding GM Foods? Monsanto Says You're Overly Fussy · · Score: 1

    Or Monsanto has people tossing their seeds into everyone's farms.

  20. Re:heh on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait... do you think that it's possible that he borked the prequels on purpose?

    He would have been a gajilionaire off of Indiana Jones, anyway.

  21. My biggest problem on APB To Use In-Game Audio Advertisements · · Score: 1

    My biggest problem is paying $50-60 for the software for a game that is supported by monthly payments.

    If we're going to be paying you so much a month to play the game, let us download the software for free.

  22. Re:Frog boiling ahoy on APB To Use In-Game Audio Advertisements · · Score: 1

    That's a pretty big barrel of grease you're trying to pour on that inclined plane. You need any help with that? No? Ok, you seem to be doing a good enough job yourself.

    Having a facebook page is the 'in' thing for government/corporate entities to do these days.

    Yeah, Machiavelli was a philosopher, too.

  25. Re:Monkey Island on Why Are Video Game Movies So Awful? · · Score: 1

    Grim Fandango could work too, just so long as it's animated and Tim Burton directs it.

    There was a rumor a few years ago that such a movie was going to happen. I was incredibly disappointed when I found out it was a hoax.
