  1. Not NPR on When Patents Attack — the NPR Version · · Score: 2

    This American Life is a Public Radio International (PRI) show, not a National Public Radio (NPR) one.

  2. First Google on "Nexus One" Is Google's Android Phone · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have never heard of First Google, but I would not get too excited about any product from this company, as I am sure that Google soon will sue it out of existence.

  3. Tag It on RIAA Victim Jammie Thomas Gets a New Lawyer · · Score: 1
    webejammie

    You know you want to.

  4. Re:I'm target audience on Nintendo Files Patent For Game That Plays Itself · · Score: 1

    But at the same time conquering something that is "too hard" is an important aspect of fun.

    No, it is the primary component of frustration, which is never fun. Certain very difficult endeavors in real life are edifying or vindicatory, but it is the rare individual who describes them as entertaining.

  5. Re:And in other news... on Nintendo Files Patent For Game That Plays Itself · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What did apostrophes ever do to you?

  6. Good Riddance on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    Pagers, especially as used in the technology sector, are usually tools of exploitation. If you are not getting paid properly (meaning extravagantly, since you have to arrange your life around getting called away to work at any time) for the hours during which you are on call, then you are a slave.

    to the clit mouse.

  8. In other words on Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones · · Score: 1

  9. The machine also on Indian Woman Convicted of Murder By Brain Scan · · Score: 1

    determined that she weighs the same as a duck.

  10. Over five hundred times? on Where To Draw the Line When Punishing Email Snooping? · · Score: 1

    Even once is too much. Break into someone else's account, even if doing so is easy, and go to jail. It really must be that simple, as this is unconscionable behavior.

  11. Dear Frederick County Library Board on FBI Seizes Library Computers Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    Fire Mr. Batson before the end of the month and immediately retrieve your stolen property for the good of the public; nothing else will serve.

  12. Old Teens on How To Encourage a Young Teen To Learn Programming? · · Score: 1

    Young teens need little encouragement, but old ones are notoriously stubborn.

  13. Re:(Troll) I hate java, why does /. love it? on Does an Open Java Really Matter? · · Score: 1

    Why do we the /. crown love Sun/Java?

    Isn't using the royal "we" in a programming discussion a little pretentious?

  14. Re:Okay Everyone ... on Firefox Download Day To Start At 1 p.m. EST · · Score: 1

    Yes, everyone, please do! Keep the pressure on Mozilla--it is good for them.

  15. Not the First on First Town In US To Become 100% Wind Powered · · Score: 2

    Rock Port was certainly not the first town in the United States.

    Yes, that is the principle on which The Corporation flourishes.

  18. Re:bah on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    Every 2-bit nerd thinks he knows what's best for Microsoft, why should Microsoft listen to him? Because he has a blog and people read his blog?

    He is not just some guy with a blog. He is Lance Ulanoff, Editor in Chief of PC Magazine.

  19. Re:Cancelling on HD Monitor Causes DRM Issues with Netflix · · Score: 5, Funny

    Netflix has repeatedly said that they want to make their steaming feature available to more operating systems, browsers and the like.

    Great Freudian slip!

  20. Nearly as evil as Google. on Apple Patents 'Buy Stuff Wirelessly, Skip Lines' Tech · · Score: 1

    And it is nearly as ominous as another recent Apple patent application. "Trusted Computing" is back? You'd better believe it.

  21. Taggers on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 2, Funny

    An Infiniti is a car, and it will wrap around almost anything into which the driver rams it.

  22. Only marketing. on Amazon's Kindle Sells Out In 5.5 Hours · · Score: 1

    The Kindle is nothing more than a marketing ploy.

  23. Is it too early on 10 Great Snake-Oil Gadgets · · Score: 1

    to get Amazon's Kindle on the list?

  24. We share a desk? on 'Gamercize' Cardio at Our Desk · · Score: 1

    I hadn't noticed.

  25. Re:Used to back up savegames on The Value of Your Saved Game · · Score: 1

    Loose (with two Os) rhymes with moose (also with two Os). You're looking for lose.

    That is a fairly good one, and probably more people understand it than the one I use:

    I'll loose the hounds on you if you continue to abuse the language.
