  1. Re:Just don't buy Apple products anymore on Apple Patents Remotely Disabling Jailbroken Phones · · Score: 1

    Insightful? Really? I mean...yeah, that's always an option to the consumer but this isn't exactly an insightful tidbit of information.

  2. Re:'Bout time on Apple Offers Free Cases To Solve iPhone 4 Antenna Problems · · Score: 1

    And they would be called out that, just like you were.

  3. Re:Software?! on Energizer USB Battery Charger Software Infects PCs · · Score: 1

    But how does Energizer feel now, with egg on their faces?

    Well, I'd say the yolk's on them for sure.

  4. Re:I'd have thought it was obvious, but... on GoDaddy Wants Your Root Password · · Score: 1

    Holy hell, someone else who remembers/is a fan of TKK?

    No.

  7. Re:Holy fuck! on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: 1

    Yes, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. =)

  8. Holy fuck! on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: 1

    Look at all those 3 and 4 digit UIDs!

  9. Re:Wanted to moderate but... on Marge Simpson Poses For Playboy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Heidi Montag?

  10. Web standards, anyone? on Mozilla Slams Chrome Frame As "Browser Soup" · · Score: 1

    Isn't this why we have web standards? If you adhere to the damned standards, doesn't the rendering engine become all about performance instead of which one looks better, or renders "more correctlyer"?

  11. Re:legal papers *are* sent ("served") by email on Bank Goofs, and Judge Orders Gmail Account Nuked · · Score: 1

    I seriously, seriously hope my sarcasm meter's broken, because you can't possibly be serious when saying something as reprehensibly stupid as "So, yes, there is a legal obligation to check your inbox on a regular basis". That's the reason you posted as an AC, right? Because you didn't want this coming back to your actual /. account?

  12. What? Delicious Library isn't public domain? on Developer Exposes Copyright Infringers On Twitter · · Score: 1

    I mean, when a program goes so long without being updated, touched, or improved upon in any way shape or form, it's gotta be public domain, right?

  13. Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier? on NASA Probe Blasts 461 Gigabytes of Moon Data Daily · · Score: 5, Funny

    You just KNOW that the original name for the device was "Traveling Wave Amplified Tube" until some NASA jackass noticed the acronym and ruined it for everyone.

  14. Re:Damn, I wish I noticed it... on Scammer Plants a Fake ATM At Defcon 17 · · Score: 1

    "I carry a variety of cards with 'valid' CC and expiration dates."

    No you don't.

  15. Grrrrr on IBM Wants Patent For Lotus Notes-Free Meetings · · Score: 4, Funny

    "What's next - a patent for Verizon for blocking cellphone usage during movies?"

    DON'T. GIVE THEM. IDEAS.

  16. Nice effort on Startup Threatened Into Settling Over Hyperlinking · · Score: 4, Informative

    The whole Google-Bomb idea was nice, but every link on this page is nofollow'd. Not gonna do any good.

  17. More info already posted... on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 4, Informative
  18. Re:Not really a DVD then? on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 1

    Nice. I'd mod you up, but...well....you know.

  19. Not really a DVD then? on RealNetworks To Introduce a Simple DVD Copier · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "the DVDs it makes will only be playable on the computer where they were created"

    Doesn't this make it *not* an actual DVD, but rather an encoded video on a disc that just happens to be shaped like a DVD with the capacity of a DVD? Kind of like how all those DRM'd CDs can't actually be called "compact discs" because they don't adhere to the red book standard?

  20. Re:Oh, look, it's OSC being a moron again... on Orson Scott Card Blasts J.K. Rowling's Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    one of the claims that RDR/SVA made was that by tolerating it, she was authorizing it.

    She used it as a resource! She wasn't "tolerating it" - she actively engaged it as a reference tool...which is precisely what she's being with this lawsuit.

  21. Re:PHP6? on Wicked Cool PHP · · Score: 1

    Hey, check that out.

    Huh.

    My apologies - apparently, my due diligence was not due enough.

    Thanks!

  22. PHP6? on Wicked Cool PHP · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The book covers PHP versions 5 and 6. Do they know something we don't? Isn't PHP5 the most recent version?

  23. Maybe my memory's failing me... on Hitchhiker's Guide Turns 30 · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...but wasn't the Ultimate Question "What is six times nine?" - thus proving that something is fundamentally broken with the universe? I remember these from the radio scripts, which were the first incarnation of HHGTTG.

  24. Re:For Redundant, See Redundant on KDE Goes Cross-Platform, Supports Windows and OS X · · Score: 1

    It's called a recursive acronym. Thanks for playing though.

  25. Re:Exactly. on The Morality of Web Advertisement Blocking · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but can you imagine the legal precedent that would set?

    "I find in favor of the plaintiff in the amount of one blowjob." *bangs gavel*

    The number of lawsuits (and chap stick sales) would skyrocket!
