    They're happy with 51%.

    My teachers were not.

  5. Re:Nice summary on Jury Finds Google Guilty of Standards-Essential Patents Abuse Against MS · · Score: 1

    The FAT patents are an essential standard since all devices use it.

  6. Stop using PayPal? on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    For most countries on the planet, apart from credit cards, there is no alternative. Even Canada still doesn't have access to Google Wallet, for example.

  7. Re:Okay on Samsung Unveils Galaxy Gear Smartwatch · · Score: 1

    That's way too many pixels for a Neo-Geo emulator, never mind a C64.

  10. Re:Oh, just great ... on Android 4.4 Named 'KitKat' · · Score: 1

    The worst iced tea I ever tasted. Weird aftertaste. I guess it can best be described as a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike iced tea.

  11. Re:Seriously? Android Bounty? Android Twix? on Android 4.4 Named 'KitKat' · · Score: 1

    And 'Kandi' sounds like the name of a pornographic actress

    Thank you, you just ruined my afternoon.

  12. Re:Peak Oil, shithead. on At Current Rates, Tesla Could Soon Suck Up Worldwide Supply of Li-Ion Cells · · Score: 1

    So what, you think the materials for Li-Ion batteries are endless?

  13. I cannot be the only one on Software Developer Says Mega Master Keys Are Retrievable · · Score: 2

    I read the title as "Software developer says Sega Master keys are retrievable".

  14. Re:Sand Carriers on Google Play Services Supplants Android As Google's "Platform" · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah it's gonna sound fantastic!

  15. Re:Philantropy on Lenovo CEO Shares $3 Million Bonus With Workers · · Score: 1

    So he gave $4 million to charity, but still had $8 million for himself.

    That is still $8 million for seven human beings (him, his wife and five kids), which frankly is still quite indecent compared to the $10K-$20K of regular Joes who also have a family to support.

    I'm not saying he's a bad person, I'm saying the distribution of wealth got screwed up somewhere along the way.

  16. Obvious patents and patent trolls on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 0

    Welcome to the Business States of America.

  17. Re:I'll believe the stem crisis is real on The STEM Crisis Is a Myth · · Score: 1

    The sample size needed 960 more players.

  21. Re:Nintendo's taking a lot of flak for this... on Nintendo Announces 2DS Handheld — Plays 3DS Games In 2-D · · Score: 1

    The upper screen of the 3DS has a higher horizontal pixel density because of the 3D, but if you remove that, it's just a different resolution and also larger, so probably maybe even the same DPI.

  22. What about obstacles? on Nissan Plans To Sell Self-Driving Cars By 2020 · · Score: 1

    What if there's a squirrel, a cat, a dog or a frickin' deer on the road?

  23. Don't blame the design staff on Yahoo! Sports Redesign Sparks Controversy, Disdain From Users · · Score: 1

    For all we know, something like this happened, the CEO or someone from management got involved and they got the results we all just saw.

     

  24. White text on black background? on Yahoo! Sports Redesign Sparks Controversy, Disdain From Users · · Score: 1

    Unless it's for a hackers/nerds website, stick with dark text on a light background.

  25. Re:American priorities on Only One US City Makes "Top Ten Internet Cities Worldwide" List · · Score: 2

    If you make the list about profit per user, Canada will be number one, far ahead everyone else including the USA.
