  1. Re:How about cable and sat boxes that can power do on New Energy Efficiency Rules For TVs Sold In California · · Score: 1

    We can get our Motorola DVR to reboot by trying to add "Spongebob Squarepants" to our series recordings. Every time. And if you try and add "Wizards of Waverly Place", it not only reboots but resets to factory defaults (i.e. removes your recording schedule AND your recordings).

  2. Re:Designed Obsolescence on Microsoft Zunes Committing Mass Suicide · · Score: 1

    All my non-Touch iPod updates have been free. Back under the bridge with you.

  4. Re:Absolutely not! on How Apple Could Survive Without Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    What I find sad is that such a small number of people *do* understand technology...

    Sorry to feed the troll but I *do* understand technology and I'm listening to Christmas tunes on my iPod and have an iPhone in my pocket. Honestly, do you really think your Apple-bashing view of technology (The iPhone is 5yo tech but shinier? Puh-leez) is the one true path to enlightenment?

  5. Re:Don't take freedom for granted on Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo? · · Score: 1

    So you missed the President commuting the Vice President's chief of staff's sentence? And where the President invokes executive privilege whenever Congress tries to assert oversight over the President's activities?

  6. Re:Don't take freedom for granted on Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo? · · Score: 1

    There proper are ways to report illegal activity.

    To who? The executive branch believed the wiretaps were legal. Who (besides the press) watches the Watchmen?

  7. Re:Why should I use Perl instead of Python? on Larry Wall Talks Perl, Culture, and Community · · Score: 1

    Give a chef's knife to a great chef and the chef will produce something amazing. Give it to a young child and the child will get hurt. Don't blame the knife. Children should not play with tools they are not capable enough to handle.

  8. Re:That sucks on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 1

    It only takes an inch.

    Yes, you go ahead and keep telling yourself that.

    But one thing being married has taught me -- women are complex, emotional creatures who need a whole lot of care and feeding (well, actually, I knew that before I got married, but you learn it better after you're married).

    Just a sec...

    But one thing being married has taught me -- wives are nuts. Abandon all hope.

    There, fixed that for you.

  10. Re:funny but. on New Nanotech Fabric Never Gets Wet · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if it could be used for Ships to lower their drag...

    Because steel absorbs so much water?

  11. Re:Is this a good idea? on New Nanotech Fabric Never Gets Wet · · Score: 1

    I don't even want to know how soaked I'd feel after cycling for half an hour wearing a 'rain-coat' like that to keep me 'dry'!

    That's why good cycling rain jackets have vents.

  12. Re:Speculation and Investment on Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang To Step Down · · Score: 1

    Is 2009 soon enough for you?

    Actually, I believe Witchblade was doing well. It just suffered from a lead actress who had some major personal issues.

  16. Working With Big Bux on Fun Things To Do With a Math Or Science Degree? · · Score: 1

    I'm in the middle of Warren Buffett's biography. He's a pretty smart guy and a wiz with numbers. Maybe she would like the world of finance? Being a bazillionaire isn't so bad, I hear.

  17. Re:I'd rather see someone involved in Free Softwar on Bill Joy For New National CTO Post? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Nice non-sequitur. Supporting your "Obama administration" (which has yet to be created, BTW) claim with something totally unrelated. Your train of logic derailed a ways back, dude.

  18. Re:Sad. RIP on Michael Crichton Dead At 66 · · Score: 1

    For the record, Rutger Hauer rocks. Just not this time.

  19. Re:woah woah woah on Poll Finds 23 Percent of Texans Think Obama is Muslim · · Score: 1

    A Muslim, holding to Sharia law, sees women as less-than-human.

    What about Muslims who don't? Can you support their ideology? What about Christians who see women as less than men? Can you support their ideology (i.e. Christianity)?

  20. Re:We should be celebrating! on Morris Worm Turning 20 · · Score: 1

    Not to sound insensitive, but Hurricane Katrina did highlight just how abysmally poor the state of the US disaster preparedness was.

    When the Northridge Earthquake hit us back in '94, FEMA was very much on the ball. I believe the director came out here the next day. Of course, back then there were actually competent people in charge at FEMA...

    They beat a confession out of him.

    Alas, the USA no longer has the moral high ground to condemn that.
