  1. I thought... on Lawsuit Claims Windows Phone 7 Spies On Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...that the "7" in Windows Phone 7 referred to the number of users?

  2. What do you expect? on Battle of the SATA 3.0 Controllers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ever since they got bought by Disney, Marvell's disk controllers were never the same.

  3. Um, well... on German Ban On Doom Finally Lifted · · Score: 2

    I went to Germany recently and found out that you can drink alcohol pretty much anywhere you like. On the street, on the train, whatever.

    I'd trade that freedom for Doom any day.

  4. Re:Strategy? on Another Unreleased iPhone Lost by Employee In a Bar · · Score: 1

    Actually, some of them do.

  5. Strategy? on Another Unreleased iPhone Lost by Employee In a Bar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have friends who lose their phones in bars every month. I had no idea they were strategic geniuses, I assumed they were just clumsy and drunk. Silly me!

  6. Again? on Novell Wins Against SCO Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Realistically this is the end of the line for the case.

    How many times have we heard that?

  7. Re:Unlikely on Ex-Board Member Says HP Is Committing 'Corporate Suicide' · · Score: 1

    Yes, I do have a link for you: http://www.google.com/

  8. Unfortunately... on Only Idiots Don't Give Back To Free Software · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...sometimes idiots *do* give back to free software.

  9. Unlikely on Ex-Board Member Says HP Is Committing 'Corporate Suicide' · · Score: 1

    Agilent was already broken up further after the HP spinoff. There isn't much left.

    Besides, who would want the HP name at this point?

  10. Re:What does this mean for Google+? on 'Superpoke' To Be No More, Thanks To Google · · Score: 1

    Uhhh...how EXACTLY is buying a company that provided value to a competitor and shutting it down NOT considered evil?

    For some of us, shutting down obnoxious applications on Facebook is providing value to Facebook.

  11. What does this mean for Google+? on 'Superpoke' To Be No More, Thanks To Google · · Score: 1

    Does this mean Google+ won't be filled with extremely annoying "applications"?

  12. Re:Don't Be Evil? That's just a lie on Schmidt: G+ 'Identity Service,' Not Social Network · · Score: 1

    .

    I am considering "downgrading" my G+ account after reading this but let's not spread any fud here.

    ...says the guy quoting the Google+ product manager and accepting their words as fact.

  13. ICP on LHC Data Continues To Disagree With Supersymmetry · · Score: 2

    "Fucking Higgs Boson, why doesn't it work?"

  14. Maybe... on LHC Data Continues To Disagree With Supersymmetry · · Score: 0

    ...the LHC itself is just an illusion!!!!11

  15. Re:ICE is the least of your concerns on The EFF Reflects On ICE Seizing a Tor Exit Node · · Score: 1

    An organization with nearly unlimited money can do a lot of scary things.

  16. Re:Uh huh. on Aaron Seigo On KDE SC 5.0 — and What Getting There Means · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you're right. I guess all those big companies like Oracle and Red Hat are basically dead.

  17. ICE is the least of your concerns on The EFF Reflects On ICE Seizing a Tor Exit Node · · Score: 1

    DoD runs Tor nodes around the world. You know, to help "spread democracy through free speech."

    Or at least, that's the official reason. It's not like running thousands of Tor nodes could help you spy on Tor users or anything, right?

  18. ORLY? on Acer CEO Declares a Tablets Bubble · · Score: 1

    I'm sure people said the same thing about the mouse, the trackpad, etc. etc.

    Only time will tell what's a step forward -- not some "expert's" little hypothesis.

  19. Uh huh. on Aaron Seigo On KDE SC 5.0 — and What Getting There Means · · Score: 1

    You claimed that Gnome was "dying" 3 times in only 6 sentences. Overcompensating with your rhetoric doesn't make it any more true, it just makes you sound like a fool. Or a politician.

  20. Re:Ballmer on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Apple already had that, his name was John Scully.

  21. Quick equation for you on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Functionality > philosophy

  22. Depends. on Does Religion Influence Epidemics? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Has child molestation reached an "epidemic" level yet?

  23. Re:!surprise on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    Whereas holding a prayer rally is different how again?

    Oh right, it's not. But keep accusing people of not being able to read when you clearly are making the same mistake.

  24. Re:!surprise on After Rick Perry's Stem Cell Treatment, Misplaced Enthusiasm? · · Score: 1

    You can label me an "atheist" all you like, but if atheist means I don't believe in bullshit, then I can't understand why you make it sound like such a bad thing.

    Maybe you have a lot of friends, but if they all believe in nonsense then what's the point? If I wanted to hang out with people who said stupid shit all day I'd join the crowd of druggies by the bus stop. Hey, at least they're trying to quit instead of being proud to be in such poor shape.

  25. Re:I hope so on Deus Ex: Human Revolution Released · · Score: 1

    ...you might find yourself thinking "Wait, so they haven't actually done anything new or original, they've just completely ripped off the first game".

    Wait, are we talking about Deus Ex 3 or Duke Nukem Forever?
