  1. Re:Nuke it! on Herschel Space Observatory Finds Precursors of Life In Orion · · Score: 1

    Should HAVE used it this time round, too.

  2. Re:Change from the original plan on Dead Pigs Used To Investigate Ocean's "Dead Zones" · · Score: 1

    Have you tried donating him to Canada ?

  3. Re:HA! on Calendar Bug Disables Older PlayStation 3 Models · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you see hundreds of fan works and instead of thinking "damn, the customers love us" you think "how dare they make fanart without paying us for it", you probably don't deserve the customers.

  4. Re:Yes, you are being a jackass on Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure? · · Score: 1

    > There is enough evidence that radiation can be hazardious.

    Yeah, we should've outlawed that evil daystar centuries ago.

    To me, as an individual, a cease-and-desist doen't feel like you're trying to talk to me, it feels like you're trying to bully me. If you're trying to talk to me, give me a call or send me an informal email, from one human being to another.

  6. Re:A slap in the face to all American veterans. on Court Rules Photo of Memorial Violates Copyright · · Score: 1

    If he wants pictures he can damn well go and find them himself on fchan.

  7. Re:its because the olympics are over on The LHC Is Back Online · · Score: 1

    Albuquerque ? I said Aldebaran, you git. No wonder you're lost.

  8. Re:Ever been on a farm? on New Wave of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Yes, because *obviously* the bio-industry has the best interests of the consumer at heart, and not their own pockets.

  9. Re:Child labor laws keep millions in poverty. on Apple Enforces "Supplier Code of Conduct" After Child Labor Discovery · · Score: 1

    Imposing your views will not magically create schools for their education, it'll only lead to them not having a job. Let them have their own development, and maybe they'll end up with their *own* culture instead of yours.

  10. Re:Magic huh? on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 1

    Well, way back, Sorcery Linux was free. It eventually died, of course, and from it's rotting corpse spawned Gentoo.

  11. As the young would say... on Suspension of Disbelief · · Score: 1

    tl;dr

  12. Re:Try lack of jurisdiction on Chuck Norris Attacks Linux-Based Routers, Modems · · Score: 1

    Chuck Norris not liking you tends to be a pretty major problem.

  13. Re:This is a MUCH bigger threat than terrorism. on ACTA Internet Chapter Leaked — Bad For Everyone · · Score: 1

    They are not mutually exclusive, however. I daresay he was referring to both of them, but put the more important one first.

  14. Re:Why stop there? on French Net Censorship Plan Moves Forward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No, it is not "payment in cash", but it *is* considered "cash payment".

  15. Re:Why stop there? on French Net Censorship Plan Moves Forward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Common use where I live (.be, so also non-native english) makes a difference between "cash" and "in cash".

    "cash" means "payed on the spot", while "in cash" means "with physical monies issues by the government". Thus, payment with a credit or debit card also counts as "cash".

    Wikipedia doesn't mention any of that in the article about cash, though, so this may be a local thing.

  16. Re:Let'see.. on Ubisoft's Constant Net Connection DRM Confirmed · · Score: 1

    You'll become a lot more interested as soon as your internet barfs right after you finish a particularly difficult boss.

  17. Re:BRING IT ON !! on Ubisoft's Constant Net Connection DRM Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Well, it's so annoying that nobody buys the game, so nobody gets a copy to pirate off.

  18. Re:Yeah, right. on The 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors · · Score: 1

    SQL injections as a top attack vector in 2010 seems more like a bridge with a slot labeled "bomb goes here", to me.

  19. Re:A bug in a beta? on Outlook 2010 Bug Creates Monster Email Files · · Score: 1

    First post, *and* common sense ? I wish I had a +1 WhatAreYouDoingHere mod.

  20. Re:hmm on Mock Cyber Attack Shows US Unpreparedness · · Score: 1

    Granted, my grandfather did see you lot. It's interesting to note, though, that had you not been afraid to get your feet wet until everyone's favourite austrian had Europe pretty much covered, the Marshall plan might not have been necessary at all.

  21. Re:Lost my interest on StarCraft II Closed Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    I can only applaud that you're voting with your wallet - that's how the economy *should* work. However, I don't agree with your original comment: they're not "pretending it's a full sequel" at all, they're being honest and telling you how they will be doing this game.

    How is this different from the original StarCraft having an expansion pack that added races ?

  22. Re:Been so long on StarCraft II Closed Beta Begins · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I have no problem whatsoever with (b), as long as (a) works as advertised.

  23. Re:hmm on Mock Cyber Attack Shows US Unpreparedness · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I never saw (or needed) any of your charity, being in the EU. I do see you lot forcing security theatre on my air travel, trying to get to my private banking data with SWIFT exchanges (that fortunately got blocked off by the European Commison), and more such shenanigans. I'm not even mentioning you lot giving us McDonalds and KFC.

    Get off your high horse, and stop thinking you're the mecenas that keeps the world alive.

  24. Re:Not fraud on Owners Smash iPhones To Get Upgrades, Says Insurance Company · · Score: 1

    Sorry. I'm not buying that a store will voluntarily take less profit on an item because people buy insurance or other related items for it.

  25. Re:Oh really? on Malicious Spam Jumps To 3B Messages Per Day · · Score: 1

    I check mine daily. It's just part of my routine, and because I know it's mostly spam in there, a quick subject scan usually suffices to confirm there's nothing unusual and I can click delete-all.

    A lot of spam seems to come in batches, btw, there's often four, five times almost identical subjects.
