  1. Take that Julia and Winston on UK License Plate Cameras Have "Gaps In Coverage" · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Yeah, because Julia and Winston are supposed to take the train, not drive.

  2. Re:Google is sure a great partner, eh? on Google Distances Android From Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 1

    It's possible that Google was pissed at Samsung for ignoring them. Google sent some kind of email or memo to some people at Samsung saying basically "you're copying Apple just a bit too much." Samsung kept going full steam ahead and we wound up where we are today.

    If I'm in the woods hiking with a friend and I say "don't touch that leaf, it's poison ivy" and the dumbass rubs it all over himself, I'm not going to break my back helping him out.

  3. Re:Exactly right, specific to manufacturer on Google Distances Android From Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 1

    I am hoping Gene Roddenbury is going into overtime calling his lawyers for a nice juicy bite out of a big ol Apple, ripe for the picking.

    If you think the Great Bird of the Galaxy is capable of doing that, maybe a site described as 'News for Nerds' isn't really for you.

  4. Re:customer survey much? on Amazon, Apple Expected to Strut Their Small-Tablet Stuff Soon · · Score: 1

    Do you always cry when companies release products that aren't designed specifically for you?

    So Linux is what, Judaism?

    Clearly, Amiga is Scientology, BTW. Or maybe Heaven's Gate or People's Temple.

    That's really quite ironic, don't you think?

  9. Re:Rape is better than consentual relations... on The Mathematics of 'Legitimate Rape' and Pregnancy · · Score: 1

    I won't get into the theory of why, because it will potentially piss off feminists.

    Lemme guess, for the same reason 50 Shades of Grey is popular?

    What percent of rape is actually reported?

    I'm pretty sure she also dropped the case because he openly said he would take a paternity test, and we all knew she was full of shit. He didn't have sex with her. At least, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO BELIEVE.

    You are correct sir. And that brings to mind the worst aspect of this entire thing: I know enough about Justin Bieber to know this.

    Several people have sued gun manufacturers for crimes that are clearly the fault of the person in possession of a gun.

    good job, sir, at pointing out some problems with how rape is viewed in our society without falling into name calling and other tactics.

    Alright, you've convinced me. The question now is, do you have some sort of ultimate answer to the black problem? How's that new flavor of Mt. Dew tasting by the way?

    I don't know about an 'ultimate answer', but judging by what he wrote, I bet he has a 'final solution'.

    Business tablets comprise are a few niche markets at best. Consumer tablets are doomed to failure.

    The only reason the iPad has sold well is because of Apple's reality distortion field. No one made a commercially viable tablet before, and no one else will.

    I see Thomas "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" Watson is alive and well and posting on Slashdot.

    once you upload the photo, doesn't it become FB property?

    I haven't checked in quite a while, but I don't think so. What they do get in exchange for you being allowed to post a photo, is the non-exclusive and universal publishing rights to the photo. They can use your photo for damn near anything they want. The only they can't do is give or sell the rights to someone else.

    Had Romeo not been a Montague, or Juliet not been a Capulet, then perhaps they wouldn't have been star-crossed lovers with only a fleeting romance.

    Or if they hadn't been idiotic teenagers prevented from just fucking each other due to lack of quality birth control.

    Hang on? You think it's right to _vote_ for who should be a judge?

    I'd rather have intelligent trained professionals that have demonstrated their ability and fitness for the job than fucking politicians.

    And when you find those people, they can get to work either in their flying car or by riding their unicorns.

    that's like saying the 3.5"floppy was designed to be able to fit into a pb&j sandwich.

    God doesn't punish for having sex. But the pain of childbirth is a punishment for the Fall. I think family courts are the male equivalent.

    Unwanted pregnancies and STDs *may* be considered a punishment for out of wedlock sex.
