  1. This breaking news just in... on SCO Is Undeniably, Reliably Dead (fossforce.com) · · Score: 2

    Generallisimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

  2. Re: Not to rub salt in anyones wounds on Rubio, Cruz Try To Kill Neutrality On 1-Year Rule Anniversary (dslreports.com) · · Score: 2

    More than I believe any Republican, any time, anywhere. But please, feel free to believe that Hillary Clinton is pure evil from the lowest depths of hell if it makes you feel better.

  3. Re:Wait for it.... on Detroit: America's Next Tech Boomtown · · Score: 1

    You're talking about the city of Detroit. The article talks about the Metro Detroit area, which means the city as well as the surrounding suburbs (mostly in the counties of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb, which are the counties that surround the city). The suburbs, by and large, are good, safe places to live, especially Oakland. The city of Detroit has plenty of problems, there's no denying that, but you do a disservice to the entire region by focusing solely on the city.

  4. Re:Welcome to the Google Walled Garden of evil on Google To Block Local Chrome Extensions On Windows Starting In January · · Score: 2

    Minor correction: "To Serve Man" was an episode of The Twilight Zone, not The Outer Limits. (Fun fact: the main alien in that episode was played by Richard Kiel, better known as Jaws from the James Bond films "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker.")

  5. Re:Sigh ... on German NSA Critic Denied Entry To the US · · Score: 0

    Shhhhh! Quiet! Don't you know you're interrupting a perfectly good "USA bad, spooks everywhere, no one is safe, NSA spies are reading the messages in my alphabet soup, oooga-booga!" narrative?

  6. Fingerprint scanner? on Apple Unveils iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Can't think of any other phone that had one of those. Oh, wait, yes I can: the Motorola Atrix 4G, over two and a half years ago. Of course, since the Almighty Apple has now sanctioned it, I'm sure it'll now become more popular than oxygen...

  7. Re:But on New Research Could Slow Human Aging · · Score: 2

    Unless you're a Time Lord, in which case you stand a good chance of looking like David Tennant or Matt Smith. I could live with that.

  8. Re:Removed "Disable Javascript" check box on Firefox 23 Arrives With New Logo, Mixed Content Blocker, and Network Monitor · · Score: 1

    And Google Chrome, which Mozilla is slavishly having Firefox imitate more and more with every new release. Note to Mozilla: if I wanted to use Chrome, I'd bloody well use Chrome, so stop turning your browser into a clone of it!

  9. Re:Expected on Detroit's Emergency Dispatch System Fails · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If you're talking "suburbs" within the Detroit city limits, then yes, I agree with you. (I went by my grandma's old house in northern Detroit a while ago -- the 7 Mile/Gratiot/Hayes area, for the natives among us -- and "reclaimed by nature" doesn't begin to describe it. I nearly wept at the sight as the memories of my brother and I playing in the back yard when we were kids surfaced.) Most in the Metro Detroit area, however, know "suburbs" as the cities and towns outside the city limits, cities such as Grosse Pointe, Royal Oak, Southfield, Dearborn, etc., all of which are alive and thriving.

  10. Re:Dongles on Apple Files Patent For New Proprietary Port · · Score: 1

    What is it with Apple engineers and 1000 different connectors? Do they have a dongle fetish?

    Wasn't Paul Reubens arrested for indulging in his dongle fetish?
