  1. Re:This is horrible! on Hybrid Drives Struggling In Face of SSDs · · Score: 1

    Aww, man, if this didn't descend into spam territory, it would have been epic. If only the guy had made up a fake product to "promote," like 'MyComputerEnema', sigh... wasted opportunity.

    Don't know anyone who ever got convicted of a felony, do you? Trust me, you never "pay off your debt." Funny how you mention 20 years...

    Can 2 candidates win at the same time?

    Oh, and I guess humans, too.

  6. Re:Scientific review on Why Groundwater Use May Not Explain Half of Sea-Level Rise · · Score: 0

    Hmm, fact? What is the uncontested proof? "Fact" in the scientific world is a very strong word, which is why many things are called the 'Theory of [X].'
    Not saying that I think climate change is not happening, but be careful on your wording.

    You just noticed this?

  8. Or just not use a smartphone on Verizon Wireless Goes Ahead With 'Bucket' Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Sure, call me a heathen, but I have no use for using a phone for data. That's why I have a computer. It's even a Mac- double whammy on me!

    He's too busy configuring his 30 Linux boxes to actually do anything useful.

    Yeah, that will be so easy for my family and friends to figure out how to implement. Maybe I should just dig a dedicate landline to all their houses while I'm at it.

  11. Re:Oh, please, people... Bother to think much? on Blocking Gun Laws With Patents · · Score: 1

    As for your sig-
    How is "the truth" and "what really happened" different?

  12. Don't see the problem on Blocking Gun Laws With Patents · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If you're not planning on using the gun illegally, then why would you care if the gun has identifiable parts/imprintings/etc.? I'm all for allowing people to legally own guns. I'm not all for allowing people to try and hide traces of their usage.

  13. Re:MORONS!!! on Gamer Keeps Civilization II Game Going for 10 Years · · Score: 1

    As are reports that comments are even vaguely attached to their articles anymore.
    Just type "Apple likes black holes" into an article about black holes and watch the next 200 comment careen into a pro vs. con Apple debate, which will spin off into iOS vs. Android, etc.
    Trying to find any informative comments on an article now is just a waste of time.

  14. Spare drill? on NASA Rover May Contaminate Its Samples of Mars · · Score: 1

    So some people have said they have a duplicate drill here on earth. Can't they at least roughly simulate the same work that the Mars one is going to do, and see how much contamination happens, then compensate in the results? Totally out of my field, so I have no idea.

    Wow, you got a really shitty pan. Next time, spend a few extra bucks and get the good stuff on cookware. It really is worth it, especially if you cook a lot.

  16. Re:I am safe. on Spokeo Fined $800K By FTC For Marketing Its Services To Employers · · Score: 1

    There are currently only 6 living people in the US that have my last name. And just like you, Spokeo confused me with Santa Claus or something with how bad it messed everything up. Best part- I check the different addresses listed, and each one might have been a different person according to the details.

    At least your mom is listed as "mom" and "sister", like mine did! (And no, I'm not from Kentucky)

  18. Re:I am safe. on Spokeo Fined $800K By FTC For Marketing Its Services To Employers · · Score: 1

    I decided to take a look at my name. My God, they mangled it to the ends of the earth. The addresses were wrong (right city, bizarrely wrong streets & #s), my mom was also my sister(?!?!?!), and depending on which address I clicked on, I had anywhere from 1 to 7(?) (I only have 4, if you include my wife) family members. My favorite was the 1 member, which was just me. What, am I the new Adam or something?
    Quality service- sign me up! lol

    Basically, I think what he's saying to say is try to find a girl that likes bondage, threesomes, and anal. He's just being coy about it.

    Yeah, wasn't there a Japanese fellow who has been having all types of problems for years because he has the same name as a sex offender (or something equally bad)? I think /. ran a story on it about 2 months ago or so (sorry, can't find it).

    I find it odd that a midrange (between the Mini and the Pro models) system is being ignored by Apple. I've heard many complaints similar to yours. Heck, if they made a midrange I might buy one. They could probably pull it off in a form factor of a Mini x 3.
    Maybe the new bosses will add a midrange to the lineup.

    You're there to look pretty, we don't really want to hear from you. If flaunting your body is part of the job description, don't get all prissy when people look at it.
    It would be like a Chippendale dancer complaining he's not taken seriously for his mind.
