  1. Hypocracy on Afghanistan Biometric Data Given To US · · Score: -1

    Papers comrade is ok as long as it isn't in the USA.

  2. Re:Not so fast on Petition Calls For Making Net Access Inalienable Right · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The internet isn't someone else's property, the ISP's infrastructure is. Since most people need that infrastructure to access the internet, then you need cut the ISP out of the picture. You could provide a state owned ISP (scary) that's open to everyone, or we could do something more exotic like mesh networks.

  3. Yay on Microsoft To Back Kinect-Based Startups · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh goodie, more motion control games. A good control scheme should minimize the amount of movement required for me to interface with the game.

  4. Re:Why so much disbelief in aliens among scientist on Exoplanet Count Tops 700 · · Score: 1
    The problem is that many of those gas giants are close to their stars, and that doesn't bode well for finding habitable terrestrial planets. Gas giants can't form close to stars, they have to migrate towards them.

    Disclosure: I am not an astronomer

  5. Re:who will annouce #1000 on Exoplanet Count Tops 700 · · Score: 1

    I call dibs on ownership of planet #1337.

  6. I have a novel idea. on The Convoluted Life Cycle of a News Story · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How about actually reporting the truth instead of slanting it to the political leaning of your respective audience?

  7. Re:ROFL on Pakistan Bans 1600 Words and Phrases For Texting · · Score: 1

    Maybe they think you might be able to get it from locker rooms while flogging the dolphin?

  8. Re:*** SHOCK *** on Sources Say Apple Originally Planned AMD Chip For MacBook Air · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nobody picks names out of a hat these days. Everyone now uses psychoactive drugs to have a vision where the X86 gods will appear and guide you. If an ARM god appears you know that your product is cursed.

  9. Re:wish they had used AMD chips from the beginning on Sources Say Apple Originally Planned AMD Chip For MacBook Air · · Score: 1

    For Linux before he patch, yes. For the rest of the world, no.

  10. Intel on Sources Say Apple Originally Planned AMD Chip For MacBook Air · · Score: -1, Troll

    At least AMD doesn't build hardware level backdoors into their CPUs.

  11. This Just In on Human Survival Depends On Space Exploration, Says Hawking · · Score: 1

    Germs cause disease. I thought that the idea that our future was in space exploration was pretty common by now, and that politicians were the ones in the way.

  12. Re:Yeah, I wonder that too! on 2-Year Study Shows Mac Users Downloading More Open Source Software · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've noticed that too. Do people still use SourceForge? This just means Mac users are behind Linux users on the development curve.

  13. Re:I'll pass. on 'Arrested Development' Comes Exclusively To Netflix · · Score: 1

    Cool. Everyone's aged 10 years so we can have a 29 year old Jewel Staite trying to pass herself off as Kailey. Imagine similar scenarios for all actors involved. Surely nobody will notice the 10 year seam.

  14. Re:Nope. on Nintendo Releases The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword · · Score: 0

    I agree, motion controls are crap and are ruining gaming.

  15. Re:...the fuck? on LHC Research May Help Explain the Universe's Matter/Antimatter Imbalance · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let me summarize: "We need moar grant money"

  16. Re:What about gravity? on Sand Dunes On Mars In Motion · · Score: 1

    Sssh, you're spoiling the JPL illusion. Keep this up and we might actually have to send humans to Mars, which NASA would find totally unacceptable.

  17. Re:Words on Inside Newegg's East Coast Distribution Center · · Score: 3, Funny

    How can you hate it? It's sooo cute! It combines "retailer" and "electronic" into one cute little precious package. Honestly, I thought bullshit words like that were dead after the 90s, but apparently not.

  18. Security? on Inside Newegg's East Coast Distribution Center · · Score: 1
    "Some mobile equipment, such as laptops, netbooks, and tablets, are stored in a special “high-value” area behind a chain-link fence that’s been erected within the warehouse itself.'" "

    Prediction: Multi-million dollar tablet heist within 6 months.

  19. Re:If you walk without rhythm on Sand Dunes On Mars In Motion · · Score: 1

    But the worms have turned

  20. Dunes eh? on Sand Dunes On Mars In Motion · · Score: 4, Funny

    He who controls the spice...no that's too easy.

  21. Tachyon pulses into shield grids on OPERA Group Repeats Faster-Than-Light Neutrino Results · · Score: 5, Funny

    They make you reset the shield harmonics

  22. Really? on Apple Addresses Factory Pollution In China · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not an apple fan, I like Linux. However all hardware manufacturers are guilty here not just apple.

  23. Safety? on TSA Puts Off Safety Study of X-ray Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the radiation is totally safe. After all Curie died of old age after decades of labwork amirite?

  24. Re:GOOD LUCK on Intel and DreamWorks Working On Rendering Animation In Real-Time · · Score: 3, Funny

    Maximum Friendship

  25. Re:Wonderful on Intel and DreamWorks Working On Rendering Animation In Real-Time · · Score: 1

    Yeah I can't wait for the magic mirror's own story. That'll be scraping the bottom.
