  1. Re:The Feds got it right on Justice Dept. Files Antitrust Complaint Against AT&T and T-Mobile Merger · · Score: 1

    They don't want to do that, because that would create jobs, and jobs are the last thing a corporation wants to create, because jobs are an expense.

  2. I don't entirely understand on Using Tablets Becoming Popular Bathroom Activity · · Score: 1

    I don't need to sit on the bowl forever, pooping takes me little time; squat, drop it, wipe, done. Unless something decides that it doesn't want to fully come out, and it involves waiting for gravity to do it's thing.
    The other thing I don't get is; besides a bigger screen, what can a tablet do that my iphone can't, besides not fit into my pocket, and be awkward to travel with, without a bag of some sort?

  3. Re:Could Someone Help Me Out With This? on Debt Deal Reached · · Score: 1

    "So if you're trying to balance a budget"...
    Nobody is trying to balance a budget, they are only trying to get reelected.
    The way to get reelected is to spend tax money on the people without raising their taxes.

  4. Some mistakes on Google Guitar Doodle Song Gallery · · Score: 1

    Really some rather tone deaf incorrect choice of notes in "Paint it Black" and others. How can you call it "not bad"?

  5. Re:No big secret here on Wikileaks Cables Say No Bloodshed Inside Tiananmen Square · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This should have been in the summary, then I wouldn't have wasted my time thinking the Chinese military peacefully put down the protest, an the US government lied to us about it, and then for a few moments afterwards that Slashdot is controlled by the Chinese trying to put a different face on it.

    Slashdot you're beginning to really suck.

  6. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    When Monsanto has prevented the labeling of GM foods, how do I not buy them?

  7. Gee on Artificial Leaf Could Provide Cheap Energy · · Score: 1

    Gee, someone solved the energy problem. Why am I still skeptical?

  8. Now what will I do on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    Now what will I do with my jailbroken/unlocked 1st gen iPhone?
    Hopefully I keep my $70 a month unlimited edge data plan (until this thing dies, which seems like a long way off BTW).

  9. Microsoft decided they needed more time on Microsoft Reportedly Ends Zune Hardware Development · · Score: 1

    Microsoft decided they needed more time to study how to make second rate imitations of the latest Apple products. But they're even behind the curve on being behind the curve, and while dropping the copying of Apple's decade old iPod, for the 3 year old iPhone, they've neglected to begin full scale imitation of the Apple iPad released last year. Someone should explain to Microsoft the difference between innovation, and imitation.

  10. Slow down! on Chandrayaan-1 Spots Giant Underground Chamber On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Don't believe it's safe to poison and abandon Mother Earth, just because you've found an inhospitable hole on the moon.

  11. What are you talking about? on Meteorites Brought Ingredients of Life To Earth · · Score: 1

    Earth is in outer space. We are all from outer space. Depends on your perspective. Earth is not the center of the universe.

  12. What? on Hotmail Launches Accounts You Can Throw Away · · Score: 2

    Hotmail IS my junk mail account!

  13. Even more than Glenn Beck? on Bill Gates Is More Admired Than the Pope · · Score: 2

    Wow even more than Glenn Beck? Why even throw his name in the mix? Did he do something worthy of admiration?

  14. Re:Dirty hotel managers says... on Microsoft Seeks Do-Let-The-Bed-Bugs-Bite Patent · · Score: 1

    You refer to "for all intents and purposes" I'm sure. I don't quite get this sig.

  15. You can take my internet porn away when... on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    You can take my internet porn away when you can pry it from my cold, dead, hand grip!

  16. Re:Common sense says... on Woman Sues Google Over Street View Shots of Her Underwear · · Score: 1

    She's worried about a sex crime. Maybe a sex criminal would stare at the underwear, where others wouldn't?

  17. Just look around... on Retailers Dread Phone-Wielding Shoppers · · Score: 1

    We are a society based on swindling, cheating, misleading, ripping off, and taking advantage of one another.
    This is one more thing that undermines that, of course people will be upset.

  18. Re:Fantastic on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    I have an innate intolerance for the intellectually incurious. Personal flaw of mine.

  19. Re:Fantastic on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    I only dislike Apple based on iTunes, which, as ambassador to Windows on behalf of Mac, is utterly unimpressive, to say the least.

  20. Re:Fantastic on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    And as always, Apple leads the way, so that they can wring a high price from Apple aficionados, before it's eventually available at a more affordable price from PC makers everywhere.
    Thank you early adopters for paying the brunt of the R&D costs, and filling Apple's coffers, so that losers like me can pay less down the road, when it's passe, and less cool.
    I wish I could be so cool, with so much expendable cash. Thanks. You're so clever. Genius.

  21. Re:Alright! on Motorcyclist Wins Taping Case Against State Police · · Score: 1

    It will be in Canada's records. If he ever tries to visit Canada, and they ask him if he's ever been arrested, and thinking it's been expunged from his record, he answers no, they will turn him around and refuse entry to Canada for lying.

  22. 'No Thicker Than Sheet of Glass' on Promised Microsoft Tablet 'No Thicker Than Sheet of Glass' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What kind of glass? Bullet proof?

  23. Re:Cue increase in accidents on Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25 · · Score: 1

    I love how people think that there is a road in Germany called "The Autobahn".
    Autobahn is the German word for highway.
    There are many autobahns in Germany.
    There are speed limits on German autobahns in certain sections, generally in curves, and there are areas where there is no speed limit, generally the straight sections.

  24. Re:Journalism on The Push For Colbert's "Restoring Truthiness" Rally · · Score: 1

    More like comedians. Except Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly are unwitting comedians, Colbert and Stewart are true comedians.

  25. Re:Sauce for the goose on GPS Tracking Without a Warrant Declared Legal · · Score: 1

    Don't forget, you're not fighting the cops, you're fighting the law.
    Put GPS trackers on the judges' and politicians' cars.
