  1. In traffic, a VW will get me someplace on Can You Really Hear the Difference Between Lossless, Lossy Audio? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    as fast as a Ferrari.

    Since I do most of my listening in a car, and am almost 48, I can't hear the difference between an mp3 and a vinyl album, or a cd, most of the time. Well, except for the lack of skipping. Ever try to listen to an LP in a moving car? But I digress. Sure, people who are younger and $pend lot$ of dollar$ on the Finest Audiophile equipment areound can tell. Me in my Chevy? Not so much.

  2. Re:Don't scan other people's systems on Student Expelled From Montreal College For Finding "Sloppy Coding" · · Score: 1

    That's not what he said. He said that if he sees an unknown attacker scanning his systems he will report an unknown attacker scanning his systems.

  3. Re:Idiot. on Student Expelled From Montreal College For Finding "Sloppy Coding" · · Score: 1

    Wow. Such vitriol. If you try you can troll even harder.

  4. How are we supposed to make fun of crazy people on Man Charged With HIPAA Violations For Video Taping Police · · Score: 1

    if the police won't let us tape them being crazy?

  5. Remember crisscross directories? on Facebook Confirms Data Breach · · Score: 1

    Where you could look up a phone number given an address?

  6. Written version on Mysterious Algorithm Was 4% of Trading Activity Last Week · · Score: 1
  7. New cloning technique. on Lab-Made Eggs Produce Healthy Mice · · Score: 2

    Make sperm and egg from the same source.. Surprised they didn't try that.

  8. Wrong character on Russian High-Tech Export Scandal Produces 8 Arrests in Houston · · Score: 1

    Col. Ripper was the one who was upset about the Commies impurifying our manly juices microchips with fluoride.

    (Side note: HF is actually used in some chip manufacturing.)

  9. They aren't on the internet on White House Confirms Chinese Cyberattack · · Score: 1

    They aren't even on siprnet.

  10. Re:Umm, I don't get it on Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed · · Score: 2

    An analogy:

    It's not a crime for a man to visit a public playground, but if the man in question is a parolee with a conviction for child molestation and a court order requiring him to stay 1000 feet away from playgrounds...

  11. Well I'll be... on Amazon Debuts Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD In 2 Sizes · · Score: 1

    S3 is still around.

  12. Re:Operating Systems research is dead on Linus Torvalds Says Linux 4.0 Could Be Out In Three Years · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of college!

  13. Stable or Unstable? on Linus Torvalds Says Linux 4.0 Could Be Out In Three Years · · Score: 1

    And where will Testing be?

  14. it's dense enough to warrant high speed rail on When Flying Was a Thrill · · Score: 1

    Step one: Double everyone's taxes.... Because, you see, rail costs money. Yeah, I wish we had a TGV on the DC-NYC run. But, given that 20 miles of rain from Falls Church VA to Dulles VA is costing $4E9, I don't want to think about the cost of a new rail line from DC to NYC.

  15. One would think on When Flying Was a Thrill · · Score: 1

    that any company that provided decent legroom at a reasonable price would make a killing.

    And one would be wrong. There just aren't enough customers willing to pay a premium for a couple extra inches of legroom.

  16. The long-term problem for Apple. on Samsung's Comparison of Galaxy S To iPhone · · Score: 1

    What if the iPhone really is that innovative in the smartphone arena that only Apple can provide smartphones? Then they have a monopoly, and the DoJ tends to get upset with monopolies that appear to be unreasonably restraining consumer choice raising prices, or both.

    Just ask Microsoft. They, arguably, have never recovered from the antitrust suit. Does Apple want to go down that path?

  17. Re:Standard connectors? LOL you wish! on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's USB on the other end...

  18. Re:Contempt of Court? on Witness In Secret WikiLeaks Grand Jury Hearing Posts Transcript of Questioning · · Score: 1

    I suspect he falls into the category of "a person who transcribes recorded testimony"

  19. Re:Millions of crimes. on Cell Carriers Responded Last Year To 1.3M Law Enforcement Data Requests · · Score: 1

    So when you call 911, and they can't find your address, they shouldn't ask the phone company where you called from?

  20. Re:the fact that this worked is on Carderprofit.cc Was FBI Carding Sting, Nets 26 Arrests · · Score: 1

    how dumb are the criminals that fall for this?
    If they were smart, they wouldn't become criminals. Most criminals are somewhat less than bright.

  21. And you also want it to cost under a grand, right? on Google's Nexus Tablet To Be Unveiled Next Week · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that.

  22. That's exactly how Scribd does it. on FunnyJunk v. the Oatmeal: Copyright Infringement Complaints As Defamation · · Score: 1

  23. Other than the lie... on Supreme Court Rules Julian Assange May Be Extradited · · Score: 1

    What CIA connection do the women have?

  24. Solar eclipse tonight.. on Rare 'Annular Solar Eclipse' Tonight · · Score: 1

    Tonight? You mean, after sunset? Really?

  25. Nobody has a right NOT to be recorded in public. on US Justice Dept Defends Right To Record Police · · Score: 1

    So I guess you have no problem with CCTV cameras going up all over the place.
