    It's not over until Oprah sings.

  2. Re:That's a real computer on The World's Oldest Original Digital Computer Springs Back Into Action At TNMOC · · Score: 1

    No wireless, less space than a Nomad. Lame.

  3. Danger Signs on John McAfee Launches Blog, Offers $25K Reward For "Real Killers" · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When you start defending yourself with the same phrases as OJ Simpson, you might be on the wrong side of the law. Looking for the real killer...

  4. Re:Remember it's China and Apple we're talking abt on Housewives On Trial In China For Smuggling In iPhones · · Score: 1

    You have an impressive 21 anti-Apple posts (so far) on this story alone. That's an amazing obsession for a company you called "irrelevant" in one of those posts.

  5. Hybrid Batteries on Old Electric-Car Batteries Put Into Service For Home Energy Storage · · Score: 2

    I looked up the capacity of Prius batteries in case anyone is interested: Normal = 1.31kWh (MH), Plug-in = 4.4hWh (LI).

  6. Re:Too late on German City Says OpenOffice Shortcomings Are Forcing It Back To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    ...are completely nanners.

    Could you put that in layman's terms?

  7. Re:Marketing strategy on German Police Stop Man With Mobile Office In Car · · Score: 2

    ...areas where crime is so rampant that cops are afraid to go alone.

    It's called Detroit.

  8. Re:Another Fluff Peice on Housewives On Trial In China For Smuggling In iPhones · · Score: 2

    Apple propaganda is kind of sad now they are irrelevant.

    A half trillion dollar global company with consistent double digit annual growth irrelevant? A single company with 17% global smart phone market share (surpassed only by Samsung) irrelevant? A single company with 50% of global tablet market share irrelevant?

    From a business standpoint they are certainly relevant. Maybe you mean nobody pays attention to Apple? Is that why every /. story about Microsoft, Google, Android and many other unrelated topics has people posting about Apple? I guess the press never writes about Apple? Oh, wait. They write about them almost daily.

    Die hard Apple haters are like Fox News talking about Republicans' 2012 electoral mandate. The disconnect from reality is what is really sad.

    Stick a fork in it, it's not done.

  10. Re:Apple cultists on iOS 6 Streaming Bug Sends Data Usage Skyrocketing · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You'll be able to buy a patch soon.

    Apple does not charge for iOS upgrades or patches, does lying to yourself and others make you feel better about your phone choice?

  11. Steamed Wine on Amazon.com: Earth's Biggest Wine Cellar? · · Score: 1

    How will the wine taste after spending time in the searing heat of a truck in a Texas summer?

  12. Re:The company's name is Enfor. Ask for a refund. on App Auto-Tweets False Piracy Accusations · · Score: 4, Informative

    The companies name is Enfour, not Enfor. Enfor Consultants (www.enfor.com) is a different company.

  13. Re:My experience with Surface on Microsoft Surface Touch Cover 'Splits Within Days' · · Score: 4, Funny

    This unbiased testimony to the awesomeness of Surface with Windows RT prompted me to buy one for every member of my family and a homeless guy. The new EZ-tear away cover technology saves me time and those precious moments can mean the difference between life and death. If you care about your family, Surface is the tablet for you.

  14. Re:One of the sillier FUD articles on Climate Change Could Drive Coffee To Extinction By 2080 · · Score: 1

    I recall from the 1970s concerns that the breadbasket areas of the US were going to be 'exhausted'...

    Watch the movie Soylent Green for a taste of the hysteria. See old men weep at the sight of shriveled vegetables and scabby scraps of beef. See detectives shake down hookers for a spoon full of jam.

  15. Re:That's terrible! on Climate Change Could Drive Coffee To Extinction By 2080 · · Score: 2

    Since this article is sensationalist BS, you will still have coffee. Beer isn't going anyplace either. Coffee in the morning, alcohol at night: the yin and yang of existence. Or as they said on Star Trek: "I just got to have a little something to jump-start the morning and a little something else to shut down the night."

    ...doesn't speak well for his performance

    According to the comments section on the Washington Post: "Erections have consequences" and "This was a conspiracy involving the illuminaughty".

  20. Hello Security Contractors on Navy Seals Disciplined For Revealing Secrets As Consultants On Video Game · · Score: 5, Funny

    They just created seven new security contractors the government will hire back for 10 times the cost. All that and a video game, win win.

  22. Re:Grin on FreeBSD Throws the Clang/LLVM Switch: Future Releases Use LLVM · · Score: 2

    ...prevent any parts of it from being used together with non-free software

    Sounds similar to arguments against a stable driver interface for the Linux kernel.

  23. Re:Stupid. on Voting Machine Problem Reports Already Rolling In · · Score: 4, Funny

    A paper ballot and a black marker beats the hell out of the paper ballot and the No. 2 pencil.

    Paper also beats rock. But watch out! Here comes the scissors.

  24. Re:Why? on Apple Considering Switch Away From Intel For Macs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What may be happening (and misinterpreted by the press) is Apple exploring a hybrid machine with ARM used for always on iOS services and intel for booting to full OS X. Didn't Dell do something similar where they had an ARM for playing CDs or other small stuff on a laptop without fully booting the OS?

  25. Re:TX - Houston on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 2

    It's important to keep this in perspective. On my way to voting I heard something on the radio that sums it up best:
