  1. They got it all wrong, AGAIN! on Pioneer Preps Laser Heads-Up Display For Cars · · Score: 1

    Lasers should be installed on the OUTSIDE of the car, dammit!

  2. One fewer, yes. But... on Against Apple, Ballmer Floats Microsoft Merger With Adobe · · Score: 1

    You'll surely hate the remainder twice as much.

  3. I think we know exactly where all this is headed.. on US Copyright Group — Lawsuits, DDoS, and Bomb Threats · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That smart-ass bomb threat going to get them classified as a "terrorist group." Then you can bet every agency will want "in" on the action; busting a bunch of (misguided) geeks is a lot safer than going after heavily armed drug dealers and much easier than tracking down serial killers.

  4. If they want to be so f_cking safe... on Safety Commission To Rule On Safety of Rulers In Science Kits · · Score: 1

    I they want to be so f_cking safe, they should put their children in a straight jacket and toss them into padded cells.

  5. So who do we blame now? on RIM Doesn't Want 200 Fart Apps · · Score: 1

    Dare I say... Blame Canada?

  6. Lawsuit! I Smell Lawsuit! on Airbus Planning Transparent Planes · · Score: 1

    Hey Airbus, landshark representing Detective Comic is on the phone. They want to discuss your apparent lack of proper licensing...

  7. Weaponize! on U. Penn Super Quadcopter Learns New Tricks · · Score: 1

    So when can we mount some freaking laser on it?

  8. Hopefully... on SCO Puts Unix Assets On the Block · · Score: 1

    Once SCO gets rid of this division, what will they sell, exactly?

    Hopefully their officers will be selling themselves on the street, under a pimp named Upgrayedd.

  9. pointers on Mozilla Unleashes the Kraken · · Score: 1

    and when was the last time you actually used four levels (or more) of indirections?

  10. payback at later date on PA's Dept. of Homeland Security Shared Oil-Shale Protester Info With Companies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Department of homeland security has to benefit from giving that info to the companies? Can someone elaborate?

    Because James Powers will probably receive a FAT consultant job with Marcellus Shale Formation after he "retires" from his "public sector" job. Very popular thing with DoD generals and military contractors/suppliers in the past.

  11. and the qualifier is... the F_CKING GOVERNMENT! on Microsoft To Issue Blanket License To NGOs · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The local government decides what organization "qualifies" for exemption, as M$ must "obey local laws."
    Wanna guess what organization will NOT be granted the exemption?

  12. A ton of money is... on New Adobe PDF Zero-Day Under Attack · · Score: 1

    US penny issued after 1984 weights 2.5g ~ 0.0881849049 oz.
    2000 lbs ~ 362873.89589281056195820652293973 pennies = $3,628.74.
    A ton of money indeed.

  13. Re:50% right on Tech Sector Slow To Hire · · Score: 1

    Too few people willing to work heroic hours for non-heroic pay.

    If by "heroic" you mean working 10+ hours daily each and every single day (yes, that include weekends) then I hope everyone agree that your expectation deserves you being labeled as an asshole.

  14. Cue economy sanction in 3..2.. on Brazil Considering Legalizing File Sharing · · Score: 1

    You can expect all companies of the "knowledge based economy" to immediately demand their governments to impose economy sanction while their expensive landsharks in Brazil files suits in parallel to halt implementation of the said law. The bought and paid for politicians of respective governments would very faithfully demand Brazil to scrap the whole idea or risk their combined wrath.

    In summary - Best of Luck guys, it's never going to fly, as the douche bags in the "knowledge base economy" cartel will make sure you fry.

  15. Further analysis (was:Translation) on EA Says Game Development Budgets Have Peaked · · Score: 1

    Rank and file employees are now expected to work more unpaid overtime to "deliver more value" for the share holders.

  16. Evidently you've not shopped for a laser printer on Lexmark Sues 24 Companies Over Toner-Cartridge Patents · · Score: 1

    Evidently you've not shopped for a laser printer recently. Toner isn't any cheaper. I think they migrated the laser printers to inkjet printer model some time ago. Cost of toner cartridge today can go over a hundred dollars easily. Some manufacturers even have built in page counters on toner cartridges that would refuse to print once certain page count is reached, irrespective of the actual amount of toner remaining in the cartridge.

  17. The really sad thing is... on RIAA Wants 'Net Neutrality' To Include Filtering · · Score: 1

    No matter how transparent their intend are, or how wrong it is, they'll get what they want. I can't find any congress critters that aren't already bought and paid for.

  18. Thrown Out -AND- DISBARRED on Music Festival Producer Pre-Sues Bootleggers · · Score: 1

    The case should be thrown out, and their lawyers disbarred.

  19. In Las Vegas on HP CEO Resigns During Sexual Harassment Investigation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In Las Vegas, that type of contractor is called an "escort."

  20. Some are more equal than others on HP CEO Resigns During Sexual Harassment Investigation · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Had this been a "rank and file" employee, the said employee would've been escorted out of the building on the same day, no severance. Instead we get this loop that's just going to go lay low for a few months then move on and pull the same shit again, till caught... (rinse and repeat.)

  21. What info do we have on his... on HP CEO Resigns During Sexual Harassment Investigation · · Score: 3, Interesting

    And what info do we have on that golden parachute he will be receiving from HP?

  22. could be worse on Regenerating Muscle Cells With Newt-Inspired Tech · · Score: 1

    It could turn you into the lizard

  23. Re:Awesome. on Coronal Mass Ejection Hits Earth · · Score: 1

    I would think been bukake'd by the sun was a humiliating experience.

  24. Re:Reminds me of a Star Trek: TNG episode... on Coronal Mass Ejection Hits Earth · · Score: 1

    I don't think condom comes in a size that would fit a sun.

  25. How many people actually registers crapware? on The Recovery Disc Rip-Off · · Score: 1

    How many people immediately uninstalls the crapware as oppose to actually registers them?
