  1. Re: 300 Large? on The Million-Dollar Business of Video Game Cheating · · Score: 1

    If you're not a middleman you're in the wrong business.

    Until the cost-cutting comes...

  2. Re:"invest their holdings" on Bloomberg's Trading Terminals Now Providing Bitcoin Pricing · · Score: 1

    Why do silver bullets always get all the love? Gold bullets would be awesome.

  3. Re:What's the point of this? on Bloomberg's Trading Terminals Now Providing Bitcoin Pricing · · Score: 1

    Wow, 2 pointless syntactical corrections to the same comment whose intended meaning was obvious.

  4. Exceptional on Supreme Court Makes It Easier To Get Lawyers Fees In Patent Cases · · Score: 1

    Is there a legal definition of "exceptional?" Aren't these types of cases already so common that they wouldn't qualify as "exceptional?"

  5. I'm not very smart, but it seems to me that the difference in potential energy between masses even at small differences in height would be vastly greater than the work that the negligible delta pressure between those same two heights could do, so isn't this kind of obvious?

  6. Re:the old customer vs consumer confusion again on Verizon and New Jersey Agree 4G Service Equivalent to Broadband Internet · · Score: 1

    In case you haven't been keeping up with the times, internet access is becoming one of those "basic necessities," and can't really be fairly represented by your simplistic argument.

    I'd like to charge you $100 per mile to drive on my roads. Oh, you can't afford that? Well just wait until the next election cycle and you can change the laws. By that time you won't have a job to commute to anymore, but at least you will have proven yourself a non-consumer.

  7. Re:*cracks open colleagues head... on Asteroid Impacts Bigger Risk Than Thought · · Score: 2

    Orbiting body surrounded by other orbiting bodies occasionally gets smacked by an orbiting body, news at 11.

  8. Re:IIIum? on Lytro Illum Light-Field Camera Lets You Refocus Pictures Later · · Score: 1

    You forgot IIIum, IIIum, IIIum, IIIum, and IIIum.

  9. OR.... on Investors Value Yahoo's Core Business At Less Than $0 · · Score: 1

    Or it could be that Yahoo Japan and Alibaba are also overvalued.

    This really seems more plausible.

  10. Detroit ETF on Detroit: America's Next Tech Boomtown · · Score: 1

    We need a Detroit ETF

  11. huh? on New Facebook Phone App Lets You Stalk Your Friends · · Score: 1

    People still go to the theater to see movies?

    ...and Facebook users, at that?

  12. Re:Considering Republics do not believe... on Kepler-186f: Most 'Earth-Like' Alien World Discovered · · Score: 1

    Republics are not people.

  13. Re:Uproar? on Vintage 1960s Era Film Shows IRS Defending Its Use of Computers · · Score: 1

    Huge whoosh

  14. Re:most lego's are a rip off on Kids Can Swipe a Screen But Can't Use LEGOs · · Score: 2

    Just because the article is a terrible piece objectively and doesn't link to any hard data doesn't mean the data doesn't exist. There are plenty of data to suggest that tablet use isn't the best for kids' brains. Enough evidence to suggest that ANYTHING else would be better, including (OHMYGAWD) playing with LEGOs.

  15. why so complicated? on Mathematicians Use Mossberg 500 Pump-Action Shotgun To Calculate Pi · · Score: 1

    You could get a better result with a tape measure and long division...

  16. Re:Read this post in the Q3A announcer voice on Navy Debuts New Railgun That Launches Shells at Mach 7 · · Score: 2

    QUAD DAMAGE

  17. Re:I bought mine for bragging rights not sound on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 1

    That's the only explanation that I can accept. I don't think anyone is hating you, you are in general agreement with what looks like the popular opinion.

  18. Re:Modern audiophiles are no different. on Elite Violinists Can't Distinguish Between a Stradivarius and a Modern Violin · · Score: 1

    There is a difference, but there's heaps of evidence that tell us your ears won't be able to hear it.

  19. Re:Dubbing car noise over the original footage? on 60 Minutes Dubbed Engines Noise Over Tesla Model S · · Score: 1

    They had to, because there was a banana in the tailpipe.

  20. What size of files were being read/written to arrive at your number? This is important when comparing SSDs to platter drives, because SSDs tend to be better with smaller files.

  21. Re:500GB minimum for SSD... on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 1

    And in the time it takes you to want/need the next upgrade, stuff will be cheaper anyway, as well as having the newest technology, standards, etc... Never buy on the bleeding edge. Buy where the best bang for buck is, which is usually where the most units (and commensurate lower profit margins) are.

  22. Re:Tesla on Is the Tesla Model S Pedal Placement A Safety Hazard? · · Score: 1

    Hey look, some idiot hit the gas pedal instead of the brake pedal and it's "news" because it was a Toyota.

    FTFY

  23. Re:Still Worth It on Amazon Hikes Prime Membership Fee · · Score: 1

    Meant to say $60 .lt. $99

  24. Re:Still Worth It on Amazon Hikes Prime Membership Fee · · Score: 1

    Really? One book per month makes it worth it alone? What's the average price of a book, like $5? (on the high side even.) So that's 12*$5 = $60 $99

  25. Re:Hmmm... on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

    Brilliant.
