  1. Anyone have real information? on Blizzard Says Battle.Net Has Been Hacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nothing on battle.net, blizzard.com or any other location but marketwatch. Link in the article goes to a non-existant page on blizzard.com. Not saying shenanigans just yet, but some real information would be nice.

  2. Re:Should have stayed with the Yucca plan on US Freezes Nuclear Power Plant Permits Because of Waste Issues · · Score: 1

    Anything in or around the reactor.

  3. Re:Yet another part of the world getting pissed of on New State-Sponsored Malware "Gauss" Making the Rounds · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'M A LEBANESE

    Pics or... wait, I misread that.

  4. Re:Me on Ask Slashdot: Most Underappreciated Sci-Fi Writer? · · Score: 1

    To be "underappreciated" there must first be something worthy of appreciation. I fear your teacher may have been right.

  5. No OpenFirmware, no Mac. on Thin Mini-ITX Platform Enables DIY iMacs · · Score: 0

    Its just a PC running OSX against the terms of use. Nothing wrong with that, but its not a "Macintosh" anymore then a kit car is a Ferrari.

  6. Re:Glad to be an Android user.... on YouTube App Removed From iOS 6 Beta4 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So you choosing to download an app is "apple making a decision for you", unlike the app being included no mater what you choose?

  7. Coming soon, "Apple iTube" on YouTube App Removed From iOS 6 Beta4 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Isn't that how it goes? Remove competition and then add in watered down version Apple controls.

  8. Re:The Steve at Apple everyone SHOULD listen to on Wozniak Predicts Horrible Problems With the Cloud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He's not at Apple and has not been for a long while.

  9. So does everyone in IT... on Wozniak Predicts Horrible Problems With the Cloud · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Only people who are really in favor of the cloud are in management.

  10. Re:Why should the US remain in charge? on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 4, Informative

    America is where most of the hardware is, its where the project originated, its based of work from DARPA, etc. If anyone should be "in charge" it should be us. Not that there's anything stopping other countries from managing their own segments.

  11. Re:Another conspiracy on US Resists UN Push For Control Over Internet · · Score: 3, Informative

    1992, the VERY YEAR that Obama stopped directing Illinois Project Vote. Coincidence?! Yea, probably.

  12. No classy ads.... on Critics Blast Apple's Cheesy New Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Like guys in sparkly clean room suites dancing to Wild Cherry. Or a guy shouting "dude, you got a Dell!".

  13. Will it be misspelled? on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mitt has a bad track record with phone apps.

  14. Again, no different then CNC or even a metal file. on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Gun Control, and Patent Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For a few hundred dollars I can make a CNC mill and craft a gun out of a block of metal. Frankly, I can do much the same with a metal file. Same goes for patent infringement. Add in a 3D scanner and I can duplicate just about anything. There is nothing intrinsically special about 3D printers VS other methods of manufacturing. Its just an evolution of mass production.

  15. Re:Am I the only one that finds this creepy? on Pills With Digestible Microchips Approved By US Drug Agency · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Well, to expand on that it could be used to make sure that they are actually taking their pain killers rather then reselling them. Right now this is done through a serial number on the pill being linked to the patients finger print.

  16. Re:Am I the only one that finds this creepy? on Pills With Digestible Microchips Approved By US Drug Agency · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The issue is that a doctor cant treat you if you dont take your meds and patients often dont know if they have or not due to mental condition or as part of drugs side effects. This can be a major issue when you cant remember if you took the yellow pill today or not and taking another could kill you while skipping a day could cause a relapse of your condition. If on the other hand you dont want your doctor to treat you (as you indicate), then simply dont go to one.

  17. Micro chips or RFID tags? on Pills With Digestible Microchips Approved By US Drug Agency · · Score: 2

    Doesn't sound like they're talking about microchips in the manor many of us would assume when hearing the phrase ""digestible microchips". These sound more like RFID chips that derive their power from stomach acid rather then radio signals.

  18. Re:why no wires? on Microsoft Releases Batch of Windows 8 Input Devices · · Score: 5, Funny

    wireless needs batteries and can be issues in a big office full of them.

    Not to worry, no one in a big office will be using Windows 8.

  19. Ok... but why? on Mac OS X Mountain Lion Gets Three Million Downloads In 4 Days · · Score: 2

    Not seen a reason to upgrade myself. What feature is it that people are after?

  20. Re:Dropbox on Man Claims Cell Phone Taken By DC Police For Taking Photos · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most people are not interested in jail breaking their iPhone.

    That was my first thought, however iCloud waits for a wifi connection before uploading.

  22. Should have used an iPhone! on Man Claims Cell Phone Taken By DC Police For Taking Photos · · Score: 5, Funny

    Remove the memory card indeed!

  23. Re:Nokia is dead on Nokia Aborts Meltemi Linux-Based Feature Phone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No... I would have assumed that Microsoft was full of bull droppings and showed them the door.

  24. Re:Nokia is dead on Nokia Aborts Meltemi Linux-Based Feature Phone · · Score: 1

    To be fair... they also had the n-gage.

  25. No different then making a gun through other means on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 2

    I can make a gun with a wide range of tools. How is this fundamentally different then a CNC mill?
