  1. Can We Get a Survey on Mac Users More Liberal Than Windows Users · · Score: 1

    on "clueless", "hipster" and "douchey"?
    Only then we can put the ugly rumours to rest.

  2. It's For Your Own Good, Dammit. on Apple: "We must Have Comprehensive Location Data" · · Score: 1

    So just STFU and continue to enjoy the Apple goodness.

    Wrong thinking will be punished.

  3. Postal2 on Portal 2 Bringing Steam To the PS3, Possible Early Release · · Score: 1

    I got excited when I thought that I would be able to play Postal2 on my PS3. Portal2, not so much.

  4. No Suprise on TSA Investigates... People Who Complain About TSA · · Score: 1

    Does this report honestly surprise anybody?

    You have idiot politicians supervising idiot bureaucrats who supervise idiot workers carrying out idiot policies upon idiot people who accept it without question. Anybody who does question it is a real threat to the idiots who are only smart enough to protect their own jobs, not the country.

  5. Re:Gimme a break... on Fellow Hackers Blast Geohot For Sony Settlement · · Score: 1

    An indignant hacker? What's next? Shoplifters of the world uniting?

    You sir have no idea what hacking is. Hacking is not stealing, hacking is exploring and creating new uses for devices and software. Pirating is what you are referring to. The "hackers" that are following an internet HOWTO that walks them through downloading ripped PS3 games are nothing more than cheapskates costing the rest of us useful tools like OtherOS.

    Sandra Bullock is a hacker, right? Hackers are so cool. And l88t.

  6. Re:Good guys? Really? on Apple AirPlay Private Key Exposed · · Score: 0

    Good for you that you believe in open source, but do we have to make it a religion?

    Nothing supernatural about FOSS..

  7. Re:Questions. on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    Clearly the mask is off now? The government know about saucers, otherwise there wouldn't be such a casual write-off at the end of the doc.So were they short Russians? Germans who found it in a barn after WWII and got it working?

    Obviously, they were midget meteorologists in weather balloons.

  8. Add Copy Image and Copy Path to clipboard function on ALS Sufferer Used Legs To Contribute Last Patch · · Score: 1

    Really? It took 9 years for someone to do this?

  10. I Gave Up on Both Years Ago on GNOME vs. KDE: the Latest Round · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One was too austere, they other over-eye-candied. Neither had any significant impovemnets in functionality over earlier versions.
    Now, Gnome and KDE just get in the way of using my desktop environment to complete actual work.

    Hello to IceWm and LXDE.

  11. NO COMMA DAMMIT! on Do Violent Games Hinder Development of Empathy? · · Score: 1

    THEY DO NOT!
    NO!

  12. AM3+ on AMD Bulldozer Will Bring Socket Shift To PCs · · Score: 1

    Really? AM3 PLUS?

    They couldn't think of anything with less potential for confusion?

  13. Now for penis . . . on Accidental Find May Lead To a Cure For Baldness · · Score: 1

    . . . enlargement pills that work.

    Not that I would need or want any . . .

  14. If That's All on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    I'll just wait until FF6.

    I swear, it's like the evil marketing people have hijacked FF development. Lot's of sizzle, but no real substance.

  15. Oh, When . . on Huffington Post Fights Back Against NY Times Paywall · · Score: 0

    . . . will this day of April fools be over?

  16. Re:In other news.. on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    There are degrees of freedom. The FSF takes an extreme position to make a point.

    I don't think you have to give away the source code and there needs to be a profit incentive for some development, but what about horribly restrictive licenses?
    If I paid for the software, why can't I re-sell it? Or give it away?

    Or data formats that ensure vendor lock-in? The software developer does not own my data and should have no right to tell me how I may re-use or share it.

    Or what about perverting standards? If software is sold as standards-compliant, shouldn't it work with other software that supports the same standards? And if it won't, shouldn't I be told that up front?

  17. Re:In other news.. on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could not, but a number of people do. It's a niche market and they pose no threat to major cars manufacturers.

  18. Re:In other news.. on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 4, Informative

    FSF wants Windows, Office, Photoshop, and everything else to be free. That's their job. People need to be able to make money on software, or large corporations won't invest in it. That's why FOSS-friendly companies like Sun are going under and being snapped up by profit-hungry pricks like Larry Ellison. Film at 11.

    Yes, "free" as in the concept of freedom or liberty, not software at no charge or profit.

    You embarrass yourself by not understanding the distiction while speaking on the subject. Or you shame yourself by deliberatley mis-stating it.

    Oh, I see you're in marketing . . .

  20. Re:Python, doesn't work, and link to main site. on Man Creates "Creepy" Stalking App · · Score: 1

    A link to the actual site for the program: http://ilektrojohn.github.com/creepy/.

    Anyway, yeah, the program is written in Python it seems. And it doesn't even run for me.
    Possibly because some dependencies aren't in the Ubuntu 9.10 universe. Bleh.

    The .deb will not convert to .rpm with alien. Not everybody uses Debian or some *buntu.

    WINE does run the Windows version just fine, however. so users of other Linux flavors can ignore the poor Linux support.

  21. A Simple Mistake? on Samsung Keylogger Stories a False Alarm · · Score: 1

    That's what they'd like you to believe . . .

  22. Re:Tablets will replace netbooks on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 1

    MS only hates netbooks because thier newest OS won't run on it very well. That's why so many were sold with WinXP/Linux installed.

  23. Wait. What? on MS Global Strategy Chief: Tablets Are a Fad · · Score: 4, Informative

    Netbooks are fad?

    I still use mine all the time.

    Or maybe just MS netbooks were fads? Mine runs Linux.

    I noticed a drop, but it's back up now with messages telling me how my "business" is an award winner and the usual Nigerian-influenced stuff
