  1. Re:At least they are recyclable on Sony Announces Global Battery Recall · · Score: 1
    > What percentage of earth orbiting satellites are powered by anything but PV?

    Slightly less than there used to be.

  2. Re:Absolutely no chance of success on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This suit has already achieved success. The purpose of filing this suit is publicity for professional author and pundit (and sometimes lawyer, and sometimes disbarred lawyer) Jack Thompson. That's its only purpose, although the rubes that Thompson's duped into putting their name on it probably don't realise that yet.

  3. Re:Devil's advocate on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 1

    Thompson makes his money from selling books and punditry. He's only a lawyer in the loosest sense, and perhaps not in any sense for long: Google for jack thomson disbarred.

    So, by your argument, we should sue the military whenever anyone who's ever been trained by them hurts someone?

    You seem to be confusing in-game acts and real life acts. I suggest, sir, that if you want to see the real problem here, that you look in a mirror.

  7. Meet Mansoor on Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mansoor lives in Mumbai. He'll be staffing that line, 14 hours a day. Good luck getting through to him.

    The devil, as always, is in the details.

  8. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" on A Plant That Can Smell · · Score: 1
    "Its" is the possessive.

    There is no charge for this editing service.

  9. Re:Saddam figure for the preceding three years? on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Splendid, splendid. Now, what's the real figure?

  10. Re:Of course, don't blame those responsible on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    A sane environmentalist, although I acknowledge the fundamental dichotomy.

  11. Re:Saddam figure for the preceding three years? on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Oh, super! What's the real figure then?

  12. Re:It used to be your rights end where mine begin on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 1

    Do me a favour; point at the "US government" without pointing at the people - Legislative, Judicial and Executive - that compose it.

  13. Re:It used to be your rights end where mine begin on Traveler Detained for Anti-TSA Message · · Score: 2, Funny

    And these hypothetical jocks who have cowed you so effectively; are they Federal employees?

    Congratulations: you're a coward and an idiot!

  14. Just what cubicle warriors have been waiting for on Sharp Develops Triple Directional Viewing LCD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Work on the left side to throw off your boss, goat porn on the right side to throw off your co-workers, and alt.fan.star-trek.wesley-crusher.furry.erotica on the centre where nobody else will ever see it.

    So... are you feeling lucky?

  16. Re:But it's not a reeeeeallll book! on Sony Reader Now Available · · Score: 1

    Well done; you've defended products that don't exist yet. Now, what do you think about this device?

  17. Re:There's always a way. on Untraceable Messaging Service Raises a Few Eyebrows · · Score: 2, Funny

    The thin film of snake oil coating the message reflects the light from Venus and diffracts it through swamp gas, making screenshots unpossible.

  18. Old Man Sucks At Games: Film at 11 on The Myth of the 40 Hour Game · · Score: 1, Funny

    Meh, they serve as many ads to people ranting about the dupe as they do to people reading the original. It's all good.

    I don't think that need means what you think it means.

    And that happens, does it? You'll be able to cite examples, will you? Let's say, oh, three examples. Go on, brave apologist, Google your little heart out.

  25. Re:Money isn't Everything... on Proposal to Fund Debian Sparks Debate · · Score: 1

    I have extremely professional ethics; I treat my employer with precisely the degree of contempt that they show towards me.
