  1. What is the determination? on New Bill Would Put DHS In Charge of 'Critical' Private Networks · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'll assume they can designate any forum they don't like as critical to national security due to terrorists using it to communicate.

  2. Re:As a Wii Owner on New Wii Menu Update Targets Homebrew Again · · Score: 1

    I "repaired" it for free with homebrew.

    I already bought the console and games, why exactly should I have to pay "rent" to keep using it?

  3. Re:As a Wii Owner on New Wii Menu Update Targets Homebrew Again · · Score: 1

    My Wii optical drive broke and it's out of warranty.

    Homebrew is the only way I can actually use it to play my Wii games.

    Wow, an irrelevant AND smug comment!

    How original! (yes I get the irony)

    Fully agreed.

    Although the key to visibility is still in the main market.

  6. Re:Processor damage, really? on NVIDIA Driver Update Causing Video Cards To Overheat In Games · · Score: 1

    The excessive heat can overwhelm the standard cooling system on a PC.

    As an EE, I'm sure you're well aware that heat has negative effects on CPU's and other electrical components.

    Yeah... I love WoW, but Realistic Graphics?

    Those it does not have.

  8. Re: say exactly what my bosses wanted to hear on Cable Exec Suggests Changing Consumer Behavior, Not Business Model · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about I try it out for a year? If it doesn't work out, I'll take my $10 million golden parachute and jump out. Sounds fair to me.

  9. Re:err, why? on iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked · · Score: 1

    Selling your freedom of choice to faceless mega-corp?

    There's an app for that.

    Did he beat up you mom or something?

    Seems like you're a bit too extravagant in your disgust for somebody else's opinion.

    I'd rather not... they don't really seem knowledgeable about this whole "Internet" thing.

  13. Re:It's easier to say "sorry" than ask permission. on $125 Million Settlement In Authors Guild v. Google · · Score: 1

    Your step 1 is wrong. They weren't distributing any books, just making it easier for people to buy them from the author.

  14. Re:I hope they're removed, on Barr Sues Over McCain's, Obama's Presence on Texas Ballot · · Score: 1

    There's only two top political parties, and they intend to keep it that way.

  15. Re:Persistent worlds? Who cares! on The Future of Persistent Worlds In MMOs · · Score: 1

    It's the same in WoW, but nobody wants to run the low level zones over and over again.

  16. Re:Full disclosure: I'm a Mac user on Apple's Market Cap Exceeds Google's · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is "shooting from the hip" a euphemism for "making shit up to sound correct" or "spreading bullshit to suck apples dick"?

    6 minute abs?

  18. Re:Sorry on "Clear" Laptop Found, In the Same Locked Office · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is "20 years ago" code for "last night in moms basement"?

    Well on a 2D webpage, your ad-space is limited... especially in the confines of a chat room.

    Now a 3D window, you can fit many many more ads.

    Interesting..... sexual favors you say?

    Is it a requirement to speak Spanish to be an examiner in Spain? Would pig-latin pass?

    I think this is a job I could do.

  25. Re:Good. on Intentional GPS Jamming On the Increase · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It kinda makes sense.

    McD's is a mega-corp who makes more money by being convenient. It's convenient for a trucker to know whether or not they're going to damage their ride, and it's convenient for McD to not have to kill their profits by constantly repairing smashed buildings.

    Bridges OTOH are lowest-bidder type contracting (I'm assuming). The contractor gets no benefit if they're never called back for repairs and overhauls.
