  1. A problem with ESPN's plan on ESPN's Play To Make ISPs Pay · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The internet has been successful, because people just route around damage. I would consider this artificial damage by ESPN and it will fail.

  2. Re:More Corporate Welfare on IBM Hides the Bodies, Eyes US Government Billions · · Score: 2, Informative

    it is corporate welfare and it has always been a no gain practice.

  3. hate citrix on If Windows 7 Fails, Citrix (Not Linux) Wins · · Score: 1

    I have to use citrix (and in the past have used several different installations) and hate it. There is something wrong when you have to login to see your apps. Also, random weird connectivity issues or it just randomly being slow just makes it a bad option.

  4. Last microsoft OS I purchased was XP on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 1

    Not looking good to ever buy another microsoft OS. And before I get marked troll, the gap between linux and windows in not very big any more. I am surprised that microsoft would even attempt this with how their products have done over the last several years and the improvements that have come to apple and linux.

  5. Re:On the day Microsoft announces layoffs..... on Microsoft Brings Back DRM · · Score: 1

    How did these Microsoft Managers with ideas like this keep their jobs and not get laid off?

  6. Actions speak louder than words on Is Microsoft Improving Its Image? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Until microsoft makes the end customer who actually uses their products their only focus (and not the RIAA and all these other distractions) and goes back to courting developers like they did when they were successful there will be no significant change. Windows 7 will be more of the same.

  7. You cannot win with just engineers and algorithms on The In-Progress Plot To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    But you can win with public opinion. Shame on Microsoft, AT&T and the rest of these companies that cannot compete and resort to political bullying.

  8. is this the best they can do? on US CTO Choice Down To a Two-Horse Race · · Score: 5, Informative

    seriously? I worked at Motorola when Padmasree was there and I have seen more tech success in that period watching my lawn grow.

  9. Re:I don't get it on Google Challenging Proposition 8 · · Score: 1

    A good company will always hire very high caliber talent if they can find them, even in a bad economy. They pay for themselves very quickly and make the company money.

  10. Re:Justice on RIAA Hearing Next Week Will Be Televised · · Score: 1

    Man this trial is going to be good. At least as entertaining as when there was an ice storm in Texas and I got a cooler full of beer, went down to the corner, and watched people try to get off the freeway off ramp.

  11. I saw this and though benzene ring on The Ouroborus · · Score: 1

    Ugly chemistry class flashback I guess.

  12. Re:You haven't played until the end, eh? on Fallout 3 DLC Detailed · · Score: 1

    Just get the super mutant a mac wheel. Problem solved.

  13. My hopes for Microsoft 7 on Ballmer Sets Loose Windows 7 Public Beta At CES · · Score: 1

    It will finally have a chair throwing screen saver.

  14. Re:a site that uses nothing but OpenID on OpenID Fan Club Is Shrinking · · Score: 2, Informative

    More clicks and is annoying being redirected.

  15. Re:a site that uses nothing but OpenID on OpenID Fan Club Is Shrinking · · Score: 1

    The problem I have with this is that instead of just using a login and password, you are redirected to an openid login page and then back to stackoverflow. This is more work for not a whole lot of gain. I don't like it and I don't have a good memory to remember my password so I would consider myself to be openid's target audience.

  16. Re:Fallout 3 on Setting a Learning Curve In MMOs · · Score: 1

    I found the beginning tutorial to be quite out of place from the game and confining. (you promise me super mutants and big guns and this is what you start me out with?) And VATS seemed quite clunky and tacked on to me.

  17. Think what you would get with $700 Billion on $30B IT Stimulus Will Create Almost 1 Million Jobs · · Score: 1

    But that kind of money is just stupid to give away.

  18. Re:Insightful? on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    If you killed the person shooting at you and then all of their family and friends then you would be charged with murder and you would get a movie of the week made about you.

  19. Re:Insightful? on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    A walled off population that Israel is keeping there in a police state. Not quite a circle.

  20. Re:Insightful? on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    For it to be a war both sides would have to have a actual military. This is just a Israeli liquidation of a walled off population.

  21. Re:Insightful? on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    Uh, a couple dozen bad actors are shooting rockets and you think the correct response is to liquidate all of Gaza, civilians and all? You think Israel is refusing to let journalists in, because they are behaving so morally?

    If you ignored the rule of law and killed your neighbor, you would end up in prison for life.

  22. Re:Coherent plan vs. terrorism on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 1

    It is ok to think that both Israel and Hamas are idiots, because they are both wrong.

  23. Re:-1, flamebait on Israel, Palestine Wage Web War · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Israel is doing everything in its power to make sure that Hamas never becomes an irrelevant fringe organization. Every mother, brother, uncle, girlfriend, etc they kill today recruits more for Hamas. Hamas recruits with now nothing to lose. Israel is creating their own problems and are clearly wrong.

  24. Re:Obsession on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    Uh, MMO playing is not illegal. It was a funny.

  25. Re:Obsession on A Hacker's Audacious Plan To Rule the Underground · · Score: 1

    I just fly pretend spaceships and pew pew on a MMO. As a perk, no jail time if my wife catches me.
