  1. why do the lawyers get all the money on Judge Rejects Settlement In Facebook Sponsored Stories Case · · Score: 1

    when they were not the ones aggrieved by this heinous theft of personal property? the lion's share of a class action should go to members of the class.

    your account was lifetime. the service's life is over. therefore, the guarantee is honored.

    this is how weasels think, and it's all around us. moral: they lie. back up your stuff.

  3. you can tell where the oppressive idiots are on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 5, Insightful

    if you are so all-fired to exclude scientific thought, send your kids to church school. as for everybody else, they should be exposed to the real world and all its swirling contradictions through a broad-based education.

    following fruit fly genes is not going to damn you to hell everlasting, for God made that mechanism. pinheads.

  6. I assume they needed it on Meet DARPA's New Militarized Earthworm · · Score: 1

    militarized earthworm... must be to churn through all the militarized crap and make something green.

  7. uh, wait... IBM doesn't have server farms already? on IBM Reportedly Eyeing RIM's Enterprise Services Unit · · Score: 0

    this sounds like a competition-reduction policy. strange, but so does Chapter 7 for RIM.

    if IBM wants to give away money, I will set up a PO box they can fill as many times as they want... .

  8. prior art exists. on Open-Source Movements Bicker Over Logo · · Score: 1

    that is the shape of the "magic eye tube" circle, first unveiled in the 1930s by RCA. sorry, guys, but Void That Copyright!

  13. what IS IT?? with all this "buy losers" stuff? on Why Intel Should Buy Nokia · · Score: 0

    why are all these "analysts" who can't analyze the caps lock key always pushing for some outfit with money to buy a stone loser out?

    hint: RIM, Nokia, Palm are all STONE LOSERS! they are black holes. they are crashing in the market because nobody wants their stuff. they have gone over the cliff hanging on to their precious nickel's worth of knowledge that multiple competitors have leapfrogged past for several years now.

    this is socialized capitalism being urged to protect the losers. if the government were doing this, there would the riots in the streets.

    do NOT buy losers. patents are cheaper in Chapter 7.

    lot of embedded 2G in places where they don't want to spend money to upgrade things. places where it's not as easy to switch as dropping the old phone in a bucket and being handed a shiny new phone.

    tiles and tiles and nothing fun.

  17. if you have buggy Appleware, you're a bot? on Company Claims 80% of Facebook Ad Clicks Are From Bots · · Score: 0

    one of the last-discovered awshits on OS/X has had Apple telling everybody to turn off JavaScript. this could also mean that 80% of getFacedbook clicks on that ad come from Mac fans. how do they separate the bots?

  18. all because of IT IDIOTS on Obama's Portrait of Cyberwar Isn't Complete Hyperbole · · Score: 1

    who opened critical networks to the Wacky Wacky Webbiepoo.

    you don't do that, you don't allow machines that connect to the Webbiepoo to connect to your critical network, you don't get hacked.

    this is really simple.

    too simple for too many CIOs and IT idiots everywhere, who want to tweak things when they are not at their desks.

  19. so? old hat. on Software-Defined Radio: the Apple I of Broadcast? · · Score: 4, Informative

    hams have had SDR for a decade more or less. and software-controlled radio back a little longer. and I seem to remember a win95 radio card that slid into an AT slot back in the mid or late 90s...

  20. oh, I don't think they're ignoring bad tech on Japanese Parliament: Fukushima a Man-Made Disaster · · Score: 4, Insightful

    there are lots of reports out and coming, and lots of boiling down hundreds of pages of complex investigation into 20 column-inches, from which, boiled with a pinch of pepper and lots of HappyTalk, you get a 20 second news story.

    there are already lots of pages of technical shortcomings, outright ignorance, wishful thinking, dotcom business plans, and pinhead idiots in custom suits strutting before and hiding afterwards trying to protect their secret overseas banking accounts in the wild over this.

    Fukushima is pretty much a complete cluster-fuck, a manual of "don't do this" in every direction.

    but the Japanese way is one or two men take the blame, grab the sword, and everybody else moves happy through the streets now that the demons are purged.

    this report points out the 800-pound gorilla in the corner, whistling past the graveyard, hoping to not attract attention.

  21. correct. on Japanese Parliament: Fukushima a Man-Made Disaster · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    stop blaming random "acts of God" for setups man created.

    example: I stack 36 pounds of plutonium blocks in the back yard because I want to send ten atoms to all my friends. I just so happened to use an aluminum pan to hold it, and also tossed in a little polonium and a beryllium copper golf club because that crap was in my way.

    and the town blows up.

    what kind of "act of God" was that?

    same thing for Fukushima.

  22. uh, so... the business model was steal and cheat? on Intellectual Property Rights: The Quiet Killer of Rio+20 · · Score: 4, Funny

    the expected business model of the have-nots is to steal and cheat their way into international economic solidity?

    that's not fair! -- you're copying Wall Street bankers! quit it!

  23. highway robbery. on Apple To Pay $60 Million Over iPad Trademark Dispute · · Score: 1

    other stories have noted that Apple bought the iPad trademark in 2007 from Protech, worldwide... except for China. "hello again, I now have copies of the negatives for sale, and I already have one bid..."
