  1. Re:Evolution does it again.... on Proteins Made To Order · · Score: 2

    You should be careful about the lies you spread around. One of these days, the great Invisible Pink Unicorn will get you.

  2. Re:I had one of these in the 1980s... on New Credit Card Includes Display and Keypad · · Score: 1

    Because some people still think digital displays are a pretty neat idea.

  3. LCD? on New Credit Card Includes Display and Keypad · · Score: 2

    Why choose LCD over e-ink?

  4. Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!

  5. Re:Razor products on Why Would a Mouse Need To Connect To the Internet? · · Score: 1

    I'm still using an old Logitech M-BA47. It's got a wire and a ball. No stupid batteries, no interferences and I could use it on top of a glass desktop if I ever wanted to.

    A GIGABYTE of flash storage? Why the hell would you do that? Do you want to store movies inside your mouse or something?

    Formalin was spot-on when he said "10 cents worth of EEPROM".

    You know what else needs you to move your mouse around a lot? I can assure you it's got nothing to do with CAD (link NSFW).

    My vote goes to Viagrow.

    This sounds like pharmaceutical companies in the USA.

  10. Re:Good for him on All of Nate Silver's State-Level Polling Predictions Proved True · · Score: 1

    But he would have won with 51% of the votes, not 100%. The electoral results are not representative of the votes.

  11. Re:Good for him on All of Nate Silver's State-Level Polling Predictions Proved True · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's as stupid as going with votes by district.

    Win each district by one vote? You get all the votes, and hence all the states and the election! How stupid is that?

  12. Re:Good for him on All of Nate Silver's State-Level Polling Predictions Proved True · · Score: 2

    Does it?

    If the votes in every state are 49% for Party A and 51% for Party B, that means Party B wins with "100% of the votes" country-wide yet 49% of the Americans would have voted for Party A.

    How is that representative?

    Foods with high-fructose corn syrup, too much sodium, too much fat and too many chemicals.... good.

  14. Do you guys want another monopoly? on Samsung's Galaxy S III Steals Smartphone Crown From iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can understand why some people don't want to get an iPhone, but to see comments about how Android will somehow take over and get the most market share is frightening.

    The last thing we need is yet another OS monopoly. I'd be happy to see 33% Android users, 33% iPhone users, 16% Blackberry users and 16% WebOS users.

    Or is the majority of posters so young that they didn't live through or at least read about how OS monopolies are bad?

  15. Re:What is broken? the reader or the specs? on $50,000 Zero-Day Exploit Evades Adobe's Sandbox, Say Russian Analysts · · Score: 1

    I'm also wondering if Mac OS X and Preview are at risks, but as far as I know they're too "basic", i.e. dumb viewer only with no javascript and crap, so I'm guessing they're safer.

  16. Re:And... on Study: the Universe Has Almost Stopped Making New Stars · · Score: 1

    Your reply is as useful as telling someone that there is 25 grains of sands worth 10 millions each and they're in a desert somewhere.

    Making remakes and sequels is considered being creative in 2012?

    You must live in Hollywood.

  21. Re:Uh... on The Web Won't Be Safe Or Secure Until We Break It · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one annoyed by that "feature". Clicking on the poster should lead me to a page about the movie with the description, ratings, comments from other viewers and a "play movie" button.

    That's especially annoying because I don't use my computer to watch the movies, I only use the Netflix website to check for ratings and comments. I'm never going to install SilverLight on my Mac, so they can shove it where the sun don't shine.

  22. Bill Gates? on James Bond Film Skyfall Inspired By Stuxnet Virus · · Score: 0

    Last time I checked, Bill Gates wasn't a computer genius at all, unlike Steve Wozniak.

    Gay marriages are the best!

    A guy marrying a guy means two more women available for the straight men.

    And a woman marrying another woman... well, I'm just hoping they have a webcam.
