  1. Re: Reason For Subsidies on The Days of Cheap, Subsidized Phones May Be Numbered · · Score: 1

    Verizon and Sprint won't allow any phone to connect to their network unless they sold it.

  2. Re:...wont make me shop at "traditional" on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    Self-checkout is a failure and many of the stores that put them are taking them out. People don't like ringing themselves up. On top of that, when I go a store I want to see the item and the comparable item next to it, not a picture.

    If they did what you are saying, they would go out of business. No one would shop there.

  3. Re: Only true for a small portion of the world on Grocery Delivery Lowers Carbon Dioxide Emissions Over Individual Trips · · Score: 1

    It's more a problem of volume.

  4. Re:just educate the astronauts on Space Coffee, Just the Way You Like It · · Score: 1

    Coffee is better black and strong, without any additional ingredient.
    Otherwise it's not coffee, it's just sweetened water.

    Coffee in any form is disgusting. 34 years and still can't stand it.

  5. Re: Let's not kid ourselves here on Netflix: 'Arrested Development' Won't Crash Our Service · · Score: 1

    You mean the public that watched a rerun of the Big Bang theory over American idol?

    http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/04/19/american-idol-big-bang-theory/

    That said, I don't like firefly, though I do like Arrested Development.

  6. Re: Leak/Script Corroberated on Police Capture Second Marathon Bombing Suspect in Watertown, Mass. · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the chuckle.

  7. Re: Fiat Currency on Steve Forbes: Bitcoin Not Money · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Go look up the definiton of gold in a dictionary. If the word deflationary doesn't appear, it's not "by definition".

  8. Re:agents GET the best For the Best on Top Coders Tell Agents, "Show Me the Money!" · · Score: 1

    Minimum pay for a NBA member is over $450k, even if you never step foot on the court.

  9. Re: Mobile computing replacing regular computing? on Windows 8 Killing PC Sales · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yawn. Get back to me when 90% of the PC using public even knows what TF2 is. Games are outliners, even more-so now than a few years ago.

  10. My theory on Windows 8 Killing PC Sales · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There hasn't been a damn thing in the last several years worth upgrading for. Gamers and developers aside, there has been nothing at all interesting happening in the PC world.

    I'm still on a 2.0ghz C2D laptop and had no intention of upgrading anytime soon.

  11. Re: Key in cloud != Key accessible by Apple on Is the DEA Lying About iMessage Security? · · Score: 1

    It's done so rarely that it has never been done. Do some research, it's never happened.

    They can, but they haven't.

  12. Re: Key in cloud != Key accessible by Apple on Is the DEA Lying About iMessage Security? · · Score: 1

    Name one app that has been removed from someone's device, just one.

    Removing from the App Store doesn't count because it stays on your device and in iTunes, if you use it.

  13. Re:He's got a point on EA Responds To Its Appearance In the 'Worst Company In America' Poll · · Score: 1

    I agree. Worst game company? Probably.

    Worst company though? Haliburton? Wal-Mart? Blackwater?

  14. Re:They should first on Should the US Really Limit Chinese-Government Influenced IT Systems? · · Score: 1

    First off, I'm in no way a republican or conservative. Most importantly, though, is that it is of-topic. The comment about voting machines has nothing to do with Chinese IT systems.

    Nothing what-so-ever.

  15. Re:They should first on Should the US Really Limit Chinese-Government Influenced IT Systems? · · Score: 0

    No, it's off-topic and should modded accordingly.

  16. Re:Seriously? on Blink! Google Is Forking WebKit · · Score: 1

    Android needs to stand on it's own as a "model open source" project and not by being compared to the other options.

  17. Re:The winner? on United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Better way. Ignore them completely. Don't acknowledge them, don't respond. Act like you you don't even hear them.

    Pretend they don't even exist.

  18. Re:Max Length on SpaceX: Lessons Learned Developing Software For Space Vehicles · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I think it's hilarious. Get over it!

  19. Re:I got my first TP-Link Router last night on Backdoor Found In TP-Link Routers · · Score: 1

    It is when they (Frontier) require you to rent their modem/router combo device.

  20. Re:Eh, that's it? on Samsung Unveils the Galaxy S4 · · Score: 1, Informative

    No they don't. They buy one every other year.

  21. Re:Oh noes! on European Human Rights Court Rejects Pirate Bay Founders' Appeal · · Score: 1

    Care to explain why?

  22. Re: Tried It - Disappointed on Taking a Hard Look At SSD Write Endurance · · Score: 2

    Reliability always trumps speed, for me anyway.

  23. How does this account for those who change parties on Is "Left" Vs. "Right" Hard-coded Into Your Brain? · · Score: 2

    I was a hard-core conservative a few years ago, now I'm a hard-core liberal.

    Did my brain rewire itself?

  24. Re:What's wrong with public transportation? on Wirelessly Charged Buses Being Tested Next Year · · Score: 1

    Because there is no bus service where I live, nor where I work.

  25. Re:further reason for a popular vote on The US Redrawn As 50 Equally Populated States · · Score: 1

    That's just what we need, more distance and separation between groups.
