  3. Re:Comcast and Time Warner, a match made in . . . on Comcast Officially Gives Up On TWC Merger · · Score: 1

    Having had to call all of the major ISP's for service, I'd be floored if Satan even made it as far as anyone in support. The phone trees that they use ("please tell me about your problem") are awful enough to make the Dark Lord go do a keg stand with holy water!

  8. Re:They must have used huge packaging... on Inside the North Korean Data Smuggling Movement · · Score: 1

    Clearly you've never seen how much packaging online retailers like Amazon can use for such a small object during the holidays!

  9. Re:Assassinate that fat fuck on Inside the North Korean Data Smuggling Movement · · Score: 1

    So that there's a power vacuum and his crazy ass relatives can fight over it? Because that's worked AWESOMELY in the past when a tyrannical leader is removed from power by outsiders.

    This will be the most pirated movie

  18. DMCA violation on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 1

    You've got it all wrong. It wasn't the US or China or even PRC ineptitude that caused this. It was Sony lawyers using DMCA'ing them into the dark ages for all of those copies of Baywatch they were caught downloading.

    Unfortunately (in the US) your IP address is more than enough to prove your guilt if the accusing parties happen to be the RIAA/MPAA
