  1. Re:Nooo! on The Island of Lost Apple Products · · Score: 0

    My bad! I didn't get enough time to browse thath little Museums of the Horrors.
    I thought it was another gallery filled with Lisa, ///, Newton and the likes.
    I apologize to all my devoted and beloved readers!

  2. Nooo! on The Island of Lost Apple Products · · Score: 1

    Not once again!

  3. You can bet on it on What To Do After You Fire a Bad Sysadmin Or Developer · · Score: 2

    you'll still be cleaning up the problems six months later.

    The real issue is not the low productivity techie. It's that there's no manager with enough knowledge and skills to ... manage techies.
    Techies are seen somehow as "lone wolves" or "wizards" that "just do the (right) things".
    My solution?
    Hire a manager with the real knowledge (an former techie) and let him both manage and work with the younger techies.

  4. They'd reimburse the consumers! on AT&T To Pay $700,000 For Overcharging Consumers · · Score: 1

    Not pay the federals! Ah!

  5. What could possibly go wrong? on New Technology May Cut Risk of Giving Syrian Rebels Stinger Missiles · · Score: 1

    The authentication methods are buggy or can be easily circumvented (thus are buggy).

  6. Wrong company name! on Skype Hands Teenager's Information To Private Firm · · Score: 1
    First it should read:

    Microsoft voluntarily disclosed the information to the third party firm without any kind of police order, possibly violating a few privacy laws and their own policies.

    Then I argue: is this really news?

  7. And this should be news? on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 1

    You really thing that a third and different mobile platform would have attracted any developer?
    Ah!

  8. Why bothering! on Telling the Truth In Today's China · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You cannot tell the truth (whatever this means) in a number of other countries .
    I wonder whether adding all those population numbers up you'll go higher than China's.

  9. Re:Contactless charging! on An Open Standard For Wireless Charging? · · Score: 1

    I meant "with no electrical contact".
    "Wireless" is commonly used to mean "through EM radio emissions", as seen in WiFi.

  10. Contactless charging! on An Open Standard For Wireless Charging? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Not wireless! You insensitive discharged clod!

  11. Trivial! on Valve: Linux Better Than Windows 8 for Gaming · · Score: 2

    Maybe only Windows 8 is better on Windows 8 than on Linux.
    Maybe Unless specifically designed to be the other way around.

  12. I'm sorry, Mr Dawkins, you're wrong! on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Why Disagreeing With Religion Isn't Insulting · · Score: 0

    Or, at least 50% wrong!
    Whatever you say to sustain your point of view, that won't ever be close to theirs.
    Religion fanatics (aka fans) won't ever discuss with you about that. Their (whatever) religion is sacred, deserves respect and doesn't allow for insults coming from whoever.
    If you keep on failing to comply with the above they will:
    - provide you with a suitably ugly death
    - provide you with the excommunication you deserve
    - provide you with a selected list of curses
    - wipe your GMail/Me.COM/Facebook account
    - all or part of the above
    You insensitive and materialist clod!

  13. Re:Really? on OpenGL Becoming a Requirement For the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Correct! My fault!

  14. Aussie Parliament on Australians Urged To Spoof IP Addresses For Better Prices · · Score: 1

    is spending time in discussing iTunes and Amazon prices?
    That's a nice country, indeed!

  15. Really? on OpenGL Becoming a Requirement For the Linux Desktop · · Score: 4, Funny

    Do you think GNOME (and Co.) is the Linux desktop?
    Ah! Have you ever heard about KDE, LXDE, XFCE etc. etc.? They seems not to require OpenGL at all! You insensitive Gtk-clod!

  16. Re:Working at 14 on Nintendo Investigating Underage Workers At Foxconn · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's the way they have been forced to go to work!

  17. Come on! on Nintendo Investigating Underage Workers At Foxconn · · Score: 1

    Do you really think that Foxconn uses underage people for one product only?

  18. Knotted strings? on Mars Rover Solves Metallic Object Mystery, Unearths Another · · Score: 1

    I'm fully aware I'm not a mechanical engineer, nor an expert of off world rovers.
    But when I see all those strings hand-knotted to tie the rover's (unshielded) cable, I feel a chill on my neck!
    Is that all the technology we could sport to have a reliable and durable rover?
    It's just my ... curiosity!

  19. Re:Study Methodology Flawed? on Google's Engineers Are Well Paid, Not Just Well Fed · · Score: 1

    Maybe that article was actually meant to push people to apply as an engineer to Google Inc.
    Or maybe they're completely morons.
    Or maybe they have little prectice with maths.
    Probably all of the three above.

  20. This is why on In UK, Apple Must Run Ad Apologizing to Samsung · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Britannia rules!

  21. No problem! on How Hair Can be Used To Track Where You've Been · · Score: 1

    I'm completely bald, you insensitive hairy clod!

  22. Secure OS from ground up? on Kaspersky To Build Secure OS For SCADA Systems · · Score: 1

    Or maybe Kaspersky will engineer some tightly security checked distribution of Linux/*BSD/Solaris?
    Kaspersky should also take into account solutions like L4 or Minix3. I fear that really witing an OS from zero would be overkilling.

  23. Is that peta-monster green enough? on Climate Change Research Gets Petascale Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Or will it heavily modify the climate itself with its power hunger while computing?

  24. Clearly a false claim on The UAE Claims To Hold the Worlds Largest Biometric Database · · Score: 1

    The Chinese government has a database which is larger by 1 order of magnitude.
    It's only that none knows anything about it.

  25. Quantum communication on Is a Wireless Data Center Possible? · · Score: 1

    Will be the solution. If only we dared to wait for the technology.
