  1. Foursquare was always missing that one thing on Facebook Takes On FourSquare · · Score: 1

    I use foursquare and it can be quite helpful when in a new town for a night of partying. However, it is missing something. Badges are sorta cool but it is super easy for people to cheat. It's very open ended which is also good but it should give me more incentive to use it. I may hate facebook but I do have it on my phone. Maybe foursquared patented certain things? I really don't know. Oh, and does anyone know a stalker by the name of Topguest?

  2. Re:Not government's job on Telco Sues City For Plan To Roll Out Own Broadband · · Score: 1

    ummmm dude, that was the plot of a JAMES BOND movie.

  3. Re:Obsolete yourself before your competitor does on If You Live By Free, You Will Die By Free · · Score: 1

    Google owns TONS of fiber, there own data centers, created android, and investing in green tech. Sure there bread and butter is search, but they have plenty of irons in the fire.

  4. Re:Sounds about right on Is Your Mood a Result of Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    You sure you were in Milwaukee or maybe you have never been to the south? I lived there 7 years and still go back to visit the fiancee and my friends every few months. I can assure you the slow traveling is due to anal cops and most everyone else being drunk or still hungover or just plain OLD people.

  5. Re:Hm, I dunno. on Is Your Mood a Result of Where You Live? · · Score: 1

    hehe, same here. Moved FROM Wisconsin (to austin)...I am so very laid back now and a ton happier. 2.5 years later and still no regrets.

  6. Namoroka? I thought it was Shiretoko on Mozilla Mulls Dropping Firefox For Win2K, Early XP · · Score: 1

    So what the hell have I been testing for the last 7+ months?

    Shiretoko to be named Firefox 3.5
    As recently proposed, the version number of the Shiretoko project will be changed to Firefox 3.5 before the upcoming fourth beta release. The process of changing the version number will have an effect on many systems, and will be co-ordinated by Sam Sidler (ss on irc.mozilla.org). Add-On developers should stay tuned for announcements about what this means for their extensions and themes hosted on addons.mozilla.org. We expect to be able do this with a minimum of inconvenience to our community.

  7. Re:If the piracy rate is low? on Spore DRM Protest Makes EA Ease Red Alert 3 Restrictions · · Score: 1

    Half a million times? I think its much much more than that. I'm not buying it cause of the DRM and I always buy Will Wright games.

  8. Re:I didn't know Obama was supporting this on Senate Passes Telecom Immunity Bill · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Obama (D-IL), Yea"

    I sent a comment to Obama's website and also asked to be taken off his email listing. Change we can believe in. Yeah, change in his views that is.

  9. When is google toolbar going to work with Firefox3 on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've been loving Firefox 3 but all my bookmarks are in google toolbar. I can't convert at work until google toolbar works with Firefox 3. Shouldn't Google, who invests plenty with Mozilla, already have a working toolbar?

  10. Same Tim Couch who Sucked in the NFL?! on State Lawmaker Wants To Ban Anonymous Posting Online · · Score: 1

    If this is the same Tim Couch who stunk it up with the Browns and was cut by the Packers then he has got to be one of the biggest cry babies ever. He's probably trying to get this rule past so he can find out who of us called him a douchebag when he was playing in the NFL. douchebag!

  11. Re:Well, what did you expect? on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    It's Sprint not Verizon. The link listed is pointing to the HoFo for Voyager phones under the Verizon subcategory. So it works on VZW phones but it is a Sprint Service.

  12. count me in as a convert on TV Industry Using Piracy As A Measure Of Success · · Score: 1

    Count me as one of those that got hooked on a few TV shows due to downloading them on TPB. Currently, I am watching season 1 of Heroes. Saw zero shows of it until I recently downloaded it. Sopranos is another one where I will be buying the DVD's for it after only watching it off bittorrent.

  13. 1 big assumption here! on United Makes Plans to Drop 'Baggage Neutrality' · · Score: 1

    This whole idea is based on the customer actually receiving their bags! I don't know about the rest of you but my last two flights included my baggage being lost and then the next flight they tore the crap out of the bag and are sending me a new one to replace it! So what happens to lost luggage if you pay even more to get it first? airlines suck.

  14. Re:Competition Comes from Older Models on HP Stops Selling Printers, Starts Selling Prints · · Score: 1

    Guess you haven't had to buy a new printer at work for the past 7 years. HP printers that replaced the version you have can be had for $1500. It might even be cheaper as I haven't had to purchase on in 3 yrs.

  15. Is there any nudity? on Ask a "Star" of HBO's Voting Machine Documentary · · Score: 1

    All I want to know is if there is any female nudity in this documentary?

  16. So who gets to enforce it? on Unsecured Wi-Fi to Become Illegal? · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I read this article I was thinking that I wouldn't mind having the job of enforcing this. Then I realized I would have to have the mindset of a parking enforcer to do something like this. Hell, let the parking enforcers take care of this as well. They love a good power trip. Parking enforcer: "Ma'am, your wireless access point is not running a firewall." Some old lady: "My what isn't on fire?" Parking enforcer: "your internet. It is against the law to allow others to use your internet for free" Some Old lady: "Oh, my 10 yr old grandson got that internet thing to work? Isn't he wonderful? He is so smart." Parking enforcer: "Ma'am, here is a ticket for running an unsecure access point. Don't let it happen again." Some Old lady: "How dare you come to my house and threaten me with this! I've been living here for 30 years and have never been treated like this! Parking enforcer: "Ma'am, have a nice day" Slow day at work. I apologize

  17. Re:Still using them... on RIP Pentium II, 1997 - 2006 · · Score: 1

    Offices uses! All 7 of our bank offices have 500 mhz celerons in all the computers. I am the only fortunate retail employee that has a 1 gig p3. Kinda hard to use more than a few windows in these buggers.

  18. I thought it said scientific names for Orgasms on Facts on Scientific Names of Organisms · · Score: 1

    Wrong website for that I guess.

  19. Is this just as fast as a web search? on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    Too bad I am at work but if this is as fast as a web search and I can actually find what I am looking for then this is truly a godsend. The index search in windows is way too slow and the search in Outlook doesn't bring up what I am looking for usually.

  20. Lets just use the consuming part of the robot on Robot Eats Flies to Generate Power · · Score: 1

    I would like to see the part that actually does the consuming put out in all the mosquito infested areas. Free power!

  21. Sims 2 is going to hurt my relationship. on Sims 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 1

    I was warned several months ago that my girlfriend will be disappearing once Sims 2 comes out. Hopefully the lack of social contact during her time of addiction will lead to plenty of sex later on.

  22. Re:i believe it on Big Bang of Convergence · · Score: 1

    Isn't a computer you buy at a BestBuy a single point of failure? Usually when 1 thing breaks you have to replace the whole box. Everything is on the motherboard with no upgrade path except to buy a whole new one.

  23. In the minority on Password Memorability and Securability · · Score: 1

    I might be in the minority by remembering over a dozen different passwords that all expire at different times but isn't these passwords getting out of hand? Instead of studying the effects of having a well thought out password, how about devising a way that we don't have to use a password for every application and every website and have them all expire at different varying times. Some expire after 30 days and you can't reuse the password for 3 years! You have to expect people to start writing down passwords when there are so many.

    I don't know about being like the United States and all but I do say they have a great creative imagination over there. Bollywood is such an original name!
