  8. Innocent on Swedish Court Orders Detention of Wikileaks Founder Assange · · Score: 3, Funny

    Personally I don't believe he did it, and this is just an elaborate set up by some twisted organisation to silence him.

    If only there was a website that could out the truth on this whole matter.

  9. Re:Microsoft is irrelevant on Internet Explorer 9 Caught Cheating In SunSpider · · Score: 1

    Google and Facebook are the new borg that we should be worried about.

    Considering that these days they spend most their time fighting instead of assimilating, I'd be tempted to say that one of them is the Borg and the other is Species 8472

  12. Re:43mb to 17mb? on Firefox 4 Beta For Mobile Now Faster and Sleeker · · Score: 4, Funny

    Usually when such a drastic change occurs, it means they originally included many things that weren't necessary.

    Meanwhile, at Mozilla labs:

    Developer 1: Hey Bob, did you run strip after you built the final release?
    Developer 2: Ummm... (looks at shoes)
    Developer 1: Oh Bob, you're such a silly sausage!

    (I imagine that Mozilla labs is a utopia where no one ever gets shouted at)

  16. Diaspora on Facebook Implements 'Download Your Profile' Option · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps competitors like Diaspora would be interested in using this base information to germinate user seeds?

    Maybe, but it already looks like Diaspora development is starting to slow down. OK, there have been some commits today, but I expected to see more activity than what's currently going on.

    Remember when the source to Gish was released? A lot of activity and releases for about a fortnight and then nothing...

  17. Huh? on Robot Controlled By Rat Brain · · Score: 1

    Kevin Warwick, once a cyborg and still a researcher in cybernetics at the University of Reading

    Don't be nasty. Just because a lot of Microsoft's products are resource hogs doesn't mean they all are.

    I don't see what the problem is, the people who are pirating the app wouldn't have bought it anyway so it's not a lost sale.

    Or so I'm constantly told.

  25. Typical on In France, Hadopi Reporting Begins, With (Only) 10,000 IP Addresses Per Day · · Score: 4, Funny

    To put this into perspective, a United States judge ruled recently that the ISP Time Warner only has to give up 28 IP-addresses a month (1 per day) to copyright holders because of the immense workload the identifications would cause

    So? The ISPs will have to hire more staff to cope with the demand. This is an excellent way to create new jobs and get people back to work and help the economy recover faster.

    But no, you only look at the downside :P
