  1. Re:Too bad ubuntu sucks on With XP's End of Life, Munich Will Distribute Ubuntu CDs · · Score: 2

    When the HDD breaks they point to the monitor and say the CPU is broken and ask if they need more RAMS.

    This is the average user summarized in once sentence, no matter which OS they use.

  2. Re:Microsoft will pull back on With XP's End of Life, Munich Will Distribute Ubuntu CDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    As for things like loosing your existing programs

    Maybe if you tighten the bits your programs will stop being loose?

  3. Re:Quit using "free (as in beer)". on SkyOS Now Free (As In Beer) · · Score: 2

    It's not our fault if the english language doesn't have two different words to describe two different things.

    Even if we used "gratis" or "free of charge", people would still ask which meaning is to be understood when we use the word "free" and using the word "libre" would have other people complain that it's not in english.

  5. I don't care. on Chinese DRAM Plant Fire Continues To Drive Up Memory Prices · · Score: 1

    I don't need memory or RAM.

  6. Re:Magic 8 Ball says "Cannot predict now" on Did Apple Make a Mistake By Releasing Two New iPhones? · · Score: 0

    iPhone 5s unlocked price: $649. iPhone 5c unlocked price: $549. iPhone 4S unlocked price: $450.

    It's a good thing they dropped the iPhone 5 from that list, because If I extrapolate those prices, I get the following:

    iPhone 5S, $649
    iPhone 5C, $549
    iPhone 5, $449
    iPhone 4S, $349
    iPhone 4, $249
    iPhone 3GS, $149
    iPhone 3G, $49
    iPhone, -$49

    They would have to pay you USD$49 for every first-generation iPhone that you take home. Sadly, with a two-year contract, it's still too expensive.

  7. Re:Perhaps... on Did Apple Make a Mistake By Releasing Two New iPhones? · · Score: 2

    The iPhone at $1 is cheap enough. The contract, on the other hand...

  8. Re:It's not the phone on Did Apple Make a Mistake By Releasing Two New iPhones? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, the semi-3D-look will be the new main feature of iOS 8, because Apple responds to what their customers want!

  9. Re:What two new phones? on Did Apple Make a Mistake By Releasing Two New iPhones? · · Score: 1

    The difference between the iPhone 5C and the iPhone 5S is 16.
    The difference between the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy S3 is 1.

  14. Scary? on DoD Declassifies Flu Pandemic Plan Containing Sobering Assumptions · · Score: 1

    A fatality rate of only 1~2% sounds extremely good for an epidemic. At 10% it becomes scary, at 25% the shit's going to hit the fans and 50% of above it's going to be hard to recover.

  15. Musicians used to be right above Jesters on How Amateurs Destroyed the Professional Music Business · · Score: 2

    Bravely bold Sir Robin
    Rode forth from Camelot.
    He was not afraid to die,
    Oh brave Sir Robin.
    He was not at all afraid
    To be killed in nasty ways.
    Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin.

    He was not in the least bit scared
    To be mashed into a pulp.
    Or to have his eyes gouged out,
    And his elbows broken.
    To have his kneecaps split
    And his body burned away,
    And his limbs all hacked and mangled
    Brave Sir Robin.

    His head smashed in
    And his heart cut out
    And his liver removed
    And his bowls unplugged
    And his nostrils raped
    And his bottom burnt off
    And his pen--

    "That's... that's enough music for now lads,
    *** there's dirty work afoot*** ???."

    Brave Sir Robin ran away.
    ("No!")
    Bravely ran away away.
    ("I didn't!")
    When danger reared it's ugly head,
    He bravely turned his tail and fled.
    ("no!")
    Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
    ("I didn't!")
    And gallantly he chickened out.

    ****Bravely**** taking ("I never did!") to his feet,
    He beat a very brave retreat.
    ("all lies!")
    Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!
    ("I never!")

  16. Paying for your cow? on How Amateurs Destroyed the Professional Music Business · · Score: 1

    You can protest that your music is a finely-prepared steak cooked by sheer genius, and be quite correct in this, and you have trouble paying for your kitchen, your restaurant, your cow.

    Well there's your problem. Stop calling your chef a cow.

  17. Re:Wouldn't call it a standard... on Why iTunes Radio Could Take Down Pandora · · Score: 2

    iTunes is available in Canada.
    Pandora is not available in Canada.

    Therefore, I must conclude that Pandora does not exists.

  18. Guns are bad on Student Arrested For Using Phone App To 'Shoot' Classmates · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Stop with the stupid "right to bear arms" crap and stuff like this will not bother anyone. It's just a game on a display.

    And I'd say that 99% of the school shootings are due to people being harassed and bullied by groups, so teaching kids to be better persons and tolerate others would do a much better job than trying to catch oppressed people in the last stage of "I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to do to get out of this situation anymore".

  19. Re:Migration on Majority of Enterprise Customers Finally 'Migrating Away From Windows XP' · · Score: 1

    I did the same, only a few months after they released iTunes for Windows. Yes it's not the fastest or most efficient program on Windows but after letting the computer manage the files and using metadata to make smart playlists, it finally convinced me it was time to switch.
