  1. But has it appeased Hitler? on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Truely, if it is perfect, we should not expect another Hitler Rant video...

  2. Nothing has changed in 30 years. on Should Cyber Vigilantes Be Cheered Or Feared · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's always "their (cyber) terrorist" and "our (cyber) freedom fighters/freedom watchdogs." Whenever it's not serving the agenda of those in power, it's always "theirs." When it does, it's always "ours."

  3. Explains why Aaron Barr left in a hurry on Contents of Leaked HBGary Emails Reveal Wrongdoing · · Score: 1

    Talk about rats leaving a sinking ship...

  4. you mean like... on New MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals 'Shoddy Assembly' · · Score: 1

    The Jobs fanboys and girls would buy the thing if it was a block of wood with a paper screen and keyboard glued on.

    you mean like the P-p-p-powerbook?

  5. A lot of good it's going to do on First Ever HIPAA Fine Is $4.3M · · Score: 1

    All they'll do is pass the cost to patients. If you want the law to have teeth, you threaten to throw their officers' sorry asses into pound-me-in-the-ass prison. That'll get their undivided attention and obedience.

  6. Ahhh, the sweet irony on Iran's New Space Program · · Score: 1

    While the religious fanatical state in the middle east is working hard to advance science, "heart land" of america is working hard to denounce science.

  7. lip service on Congresswoman Writes On Broadband, Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    with the occupant of the White House acting AGAINST net neutrality, this is nothing more than lip service as any meaningful bill has zero chance of reaching the White House, and even if by some wild chance that it does, it has little chance of being signed.

  8. Escape clause on Apple Changes Stance On Water Damage Policy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    the warranty may still apply

    In other words, nothing has changed; it is still at their sole discretion if they wishes to honor the warranty.

  9. Re:RTA on Microsoft To Disable Windows Phone 7 Unlocking · · Score: 1, Troll

    stronger protection of WP7 developer intellectual property

    Translation: Kill the application and we won't sue. Otherwise by the time we're through with you, you'll wish you've never even conceived of this application. Sure we might not win, be we'll make sure the stress induced shave a good five or ten years off your natural life expectancy.

  10. Demonstrates women can undo men's accomplishments on Scientists Find Tears Are the Anti-Viagra · · Score: 1

    Took years of research and clinical trials to give men an erection, only to be undone by what women do, naturally (intentionally or not.)

  11. I refurse to pay for it AGAIN. on Star Wars Coming To Blu-ray In September · · Score: 1

    I bought SW, ES and RotJ on LD individually, then the "Definitive Edition LD Box Set", then the DVD Box Set. I will NOT PAY FOR THE SAME MATERIAL AGAIN. Lucas, you may have created the some of the most iconic scifi flicks in recent history, but WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY?

  12. You've never used ATI driver on Linux, have you? on AMD Puts Out Radeon HD 6000 Open-Source Driver · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but ATI driver is still PISS POOR relative to nVidia. It seems that everytime I install ANY distribution (... well, Fedora, Ubuntu or SUSE,) nVidia Just Works (tm)(r) but with ATI I have to download some weird thing from ATI, and the stuff (almost) never work right.

    You can say what you want about having an ideologically "open driver" but frankly most end users want the stuff to Just Works (tm)(r). My own experience is that ATI is still VERY FAR from Just Works (tm)(r).

  13. Mixed feelings on Zynga and Blizzard Sued Over Game Patent · · Score: 1

    On one hand I absolutely loath patent trolls. But on the other hand Blizzard's own behaviors makes me wish they get nailed, badly.

  14. Re:Can a Mandarin speaker comment on translation? on Chinese Intellectual Property Acquisition Tactics Exposed · · Score: 1

    the phrase doesn't exist in the article

    Bull shit. See paragraph 12 of TFA (referencing events in July 2003)

  15. Judge Dred coming to streets near you? on 'No Refusal' DUI Checkpoints Coming To Florida? · · Score: 1

    I worry when they start naming side arms as "Law Givers."

  16. Here's a novel idea... on Bank of America Buying Abusive Domain Names · · Score: 2

    Instead of trying to silence criticism, how about resolving problems people have with your institution?

  17. You might want to double check your work... on A Klingon Christmas Carol · · Score: 1

    According to online klingon translator at

    https://sites.google.com/a/klingonword.org/klv/klingon-translator-and-dictionary

    you wrote --

    " be none [taHbe'] now [mu'tlheghvam] [vIqelnIS] [quv'a'] [yabDaq] [San] [vaQ] [cha] [pu'] also [SIQDI'] none trouble [bIQ'a'Hey] [SuvmeH] [nuHmey] [SuqDI'] and [Suvmo'] [rInmoHDI'] death sleep [---] sleep desire [---] and [QongDI'] heart sore [wa'SanID] [Daw''e'] also [cho'nISbogh] [porghDaj] [rInmoHlaH] [net] believe"

    Assuming the translator is to be trusted, first line should've been -

    "Daq taH joq ghobe' Daq taH"

  18. Why is this a surprise? on Bank of America Cuts Off Wikileaks Transactions · · Score: 1

    I am of the opinion that all organization of sufficient size would have skeletons in its closet; that organization can't get as large (or prosperous) as it has without having done one or more things at some point that is either illegal, or immoral, or both.

  19. Because government moves slowly on Microsoft, Apple, EMC, and Oracle Form Patent Bloc · · Score: 1

    By the time government takes action (if and when it does) we'll all already have suffered the consequence for some time, and effective counter measure no longer exists (see DoJ vs Microsoft.)

  20. There's little reason for a native Linux port... on Unreal Tournament 3 For Linux Is Officially Dead · · Score: 1

    Windows version ran just fine using WINE.

  21. and what would be the point of class action? on Comcast Accused of Congestion By Choice · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that if this is all true, there is certainly grounds for a class action suite here.

    And what would be the point of class action? Comcast will eventually settle for "undisclosed sum" with out "admitting wrong doing," Lawyers walk away with millions while the rest of Comcast customers gets a 5 dollar coupon off the next month.

  22. So is there an enforcement clause in this? on Facebook's Zuckerberg To Give Away Half His Cash · · Score: 1

    If this douche decides not to, who's there to enforce this pledge? "I was under the influence of several different controlled subs... medications when I signed the papers. I have no idea what I signed. I have changed my mind since, and if you have a problem with that, talk to my lawyers."

  23. This "feature" should came as no surprise... on Canon's Image Verification System Cracked · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    considering that scanners and photo copier have had firmware coded to look for currency for some time.

  24. commercial skipping algorithm on House Passes TV Commercial Volume Bill · · Score: 1

    I heard some commercial skipping algorithm uses audio volume as a cue to detect start of commercial. Doesn't this ... "blessing" breaks that algorithm? If incompetence isn't a factor in this, I am incline to think that this is a plot by the broadcasters to break some of the commercial skipping algorithms...

  25. It's a slippery slope... on Google To Block Piracy-Related Terms From Autocomplete · · Score: 1

    Every journey to evil has a first step...
