  1. soulskill: learn to use the mouise, dude! on Why the 'Star Trek Computer' Will Be Open Source and Apache Licensed · · Score: 1

    you pick it up, face the back, and say, "Computer..."

  2. who cleans up when the robots drop stuff on Will Robots Take Over the Data Center? · · Score: 1

    you've never seen a soda can or three at the bottom of the panel-blinking pop machine at a park or event? or videotapes all over the floor as a robot off alignment tries to set the spots for a news broadcast into the tape decks?

    just wait until those are two or four terabyte drives in a bound volume at a cloud host.

    because groove belts do stretch and break, and it's gonna happen as soon as everybody is out of Dodge and the guy who signed the contract has left the company for the next fat check at a new opportunity.

  3. alas, righties routinely deny bodies of fact on The Canadian Government's War On Science · · Score: 3, Interesting

    in favor of their own clear and true vision of paisley pink skies and money trees in the gardens of "job creators."

    facts frequently are at odds with their vision/religion.

    I use the terms "fact" and :"science" here in the dictionary sense, that which has been proven through rigorous and repetitive testing and discovery.

    falling off your barstool after a night of swilling "Old Reaganomics" and getting an epiphany, or something, when your butt hits the tiles is not a fact.

  4. Locusts... 3... 2... 1... on Goodbye, Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 1

  5. they study the law like W.C. Fields on Motion To Delay Sanctions Against Prenda Lawyers Denied · · Score: 1

    like Fields studied the Bible. "looking for loopholes."

  6. oh, yes, the inbred Phelpses on Motion To Delay Sanctions Against Prenda Lawyers Denied · · Score: 1

    a world unto their own, praise the Lord. they really should retire to an island with no communication to the rest of the world and protest themselves to perfect their drooliness.

  7. ooh, you'll really tell my neighbors? cool! on Motion To Delay Sanctions Against Prenda Lawyers Denied · · Score: 1

    free lawn service and snowblowing for life! bring it on.

  8. be a copyright troll, lose your livelihood on Motion To Delay Sanctions Against Prenda Lawyers Denied · · Score: 1

    for that is indeed what is happening here. crook lawyers running a RICO are finally losing their meal ticket. woo hoo!

  9. what's powdering that wig, judge? on Irish Judge Orders 'The Internet' To Delete Video · · Score: 2

    the Webizens hereby order The Law to get a clue, cease and desist from idiocy. if we hold you in contempt, your face will be pasted on millions of cat pictures. woot.

  10. 70 years of boilerplate instead of safety. on Hanford Nuclear Waste Vitrification Plant "Too Dangerous" · · Score: 1

    one quote... " although the current risks are real, they are unlikely and would be of low magnitude if they did occur." same old crap that has been put on a rubber stamp and whacked down on every paper ever associated with nuclear energy.

    in virtually every case, that blind faith has been proven to be bullshit someplace in the world.

    which is the reason Hanford Worls' site is purely and evilly contaminated, with the worst yet to come.

  11. good week for stoning the trolls on Death Knell For Righthaven In 9th Circuit Decision · · Score: 1

    first, in California. now, in the whole 9th Circuit. it's open season on trolls, shine light on them and watch them turn to paving blocks!

  14. that is a massive rip-off of my data allotment on Facebook To Introduce Video Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    and is likely to result in my pulling the plug. screw 'em.

  15. why did sensitive networks get connected at all? on Pentagon Ups Hacking Accusations Against China · · Score: 2

    answer: dumb bastards who have the sense of a paper clip. if you don't want to have your hard drives in the morning paper, you don't put them on the Wacky Wacky Webbiepoo. the old joke was you disconnected all cables to the computer, buried it 50 feet deep in concrete, and put crew-served weapons over it if you wanted security.

    turns out it isn't a joke, folks. total separation. anything you want scrubbed and publicly availiable, you sneakernet it over to the other machine room on the other side of the Pentagon.

  16. OMG! we can't have that! on Alaskan Middle Schoolers Phish Their Teachers · · Score: 3, Funny

    logic and reasoning in a schoolhouse, what ever is this nation coming to? this must be stopped!

  17. yeah, THIS generations' tablets are gone in 5 on BlackBerry CEO: Tablet Market Is Dying · · Score: 1

    there are two or three more to follow in that time, by which time only media detail pros (movie editing, zillion-track music recording, etc) and the odd developer will be the PC market. everything else will be on phones or tablets.

    tablets.

    you know, the 6-core things you carry in your hand with 4DTV resolution that cost $400 or less.

  18. don't want to see ads I pay for at all on Windows Store In-App Ad Revenue Plummets · · Score: 5, Informative

    dirty little secret: those ads loading are data you are charged for.

  24. it was to be expected on Samsung Accused of Paying For Negative HTC Reviews · · Score: 4, Insightful
