  1. Freedom of speach YEAH! on Obama Talks Internet Freedom, China Censors · · Score: 1

    That's why we can freely talk about Scientology any time we want!

  2. I don't care if they implement this on Apple Patents "Enforceable" Ad Viewing On Devices · · Score: 1

    After what they did to the tethering I don't think I'm buying any other Apple product. That really annoyed me. As if they weren't crippled enough right out of the box, the so called "updates" cripples them even more!

    Hi, I'm an Mac, (well, an iPhone) and I get more crippled every time you update the software so you can do less and less stuff every day! F0ck Them!

  3. How vulnerable are we, really? on How Vulnerable Is Our Power Grid? · · Score: 1

    Why you you even care to ask the readers? Ask a goddam expert with authority on the matter for Pete's sake!! Hate this bottom-up journalism where the reader has to make the story.

  4. Re:We will NEVER run out of OIL! on Whistleblower Claims IEA Is Downplaying Peak Oil · · Score: 1

    Fine print: Only valid for peanut-emitting rooms (not included in the OP)

  5. Re:Has anybody noticed...... on Murdoch To Explore Blocking Google Searches · · Score: 1

    - Smithers, have the Rolling Stones killed.
    - But sir, parent isn't a member of...
    - Do as I say!

  6. Re:Well that explains the Starcraft II delay.... on Rise of the Robot Squadrons · · Score: 1

    You are not getting a single dollar from my taxes until it supports LAN play!

  7. wel on Will Google and Android Kill Standalone GPS? · · Score: 1

    Cellphones screens just aren't designed for in-car/while-driving use. I like my Garmin touch interface. You have to push harder than on an iPhone, where the slightest touch is counted as a click.

    So, GPS-enabled phones will surely eat the casual-user market, but on the long run, it may even draw more attention to the GPS units giving Garmin and such a niche.... On a second thought, that is until Apple launches its tablet, designed for in-car use (and kindle use also).

  8. Re:Excellent idea on ICANN Approves Non-Latin ccTLDs · · Score: 1

    Your point may be valid for some non-latin languages but as soon as you put China into the equation the figures change radically.

    China IS the world. They are zillions! If they start using Chinese names it'll be us, "latin speakers", who'll be confined to our "own language and make our sites inaccesible to the rest of the world".

  9. Re:BRILLIANT! on Amazon Patents Changing Authors' Words · · Score: 1

    It would surely become a reality show... And if I get the chance to see a lawyer being beated up to death I'd surely watch it.

  10. Never happened on "Frickin' Fantastic" Launch of NASA's Ares I-X Rocket · · Score: 0, Troll

    It was all staged, the shadows are not right and the flag is waving.

  11. Rumsfeld strikes back on Mandatory H1N1 Vaccine For NY Health Workers Suspended · · Score: 1

    Donald H. Rumsfeld Named Chairman of Gilead Sciences
    http://www.gilead.com/pr_933190157

    Gilead and Roche End Tamiflu® Dispute; Expanded Collaboration Includes Gilead Role in Oversight of Manufacturing and Commercialization
    http://www.gilead.com/pr_783456

    Then google for at least 2 of these 4: Rumsfeld Tamiflu Gilead Roche.

    How can this guy be always on the "winning" side when America suffers?

  12. Livestock and crop software on Chinese Gov't Pushing Linux In Rural China With Subsidies · · Score: 1

    Can any of you please tell me which applications they are talking about? Or can you point me some OS livestock/crop management applications for Linux?
    Thanks!

  13. Re:Bullet Meets Foot..... on No Dedicated Servers For CoD: Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    Maybe your point number 8 isn't exactly so. Maybe customers keep buying it, regardless of a minority of hard-core fanatics that complain, yet most of them also probably still buy it. I call it the StarWars eps I-III effect

  14. 32 new names on 32 Exoplanets Discovered By Chilean Telescope · · Score: 1

    let the flamewars begin.

  15. Does it bounce on the edges? on Giant Ribbon Discovered At Edge of Solar System · · Score: 1, Funny

    Seems God is AFK and we are seeing the screen saver.

  16. Re:Skynet on Lockheed Snags $31 Million To Reinvent the Internet, Microsoft To Help · · Score: 1

    Skynet is overhyped, what we should have is some Wintermute posts.

  17. Torrent? on Author Encourages Users to Pirate His Book · · Score: 3, Funny

    Torrent to the indexed version please? Thanks

  18. Re:Universal service obligations on 1Mb Broadband Access Becomes Legal Right In Finland · · Score: 1

    More specifically: Live, 3D, super high definition, 7.1 surround, multi-cam, multi-language, multi-subtitled, Picture-in-picture porn

  19. Re:Why hire remote pilots? on Behind the Scenes With America's Drone Pilots · · Score: 1

    The aliens already abducted our top videogame players in the eightees: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/
    OTOH, there weren't any wall-hacks back then.

  20. Re:Jailbreaking iPhones? on EFF Warns TI Not To Harass Calculator Hobbyists · · Score: 1

    While I agree on almost everything you've said, and you made very strong points, that's no excuse to insult anyone here. I think you should apologize for calling him a "half-complete crap-ware (developer)"

  21. Where's the party? on The LHC, the Higgs Boson, and Fate · · Score: 1

    Anyone knows how to get to the enchantment under the sea dance? I was told that a weird, translucent, guy will play the guitar there...

  22. Less gore? on Left 4 Dead 2 Approved In Australia After Edits · · Score: 1

    A zombie game without gore is like a nude chick without tits. What's the point? What if we *try* putting the parenthood responsibility to the parents instead, and let all the others get what they want?

  23. Re:Resigning Issue... on Avatars To Have Business Dress Codes By 2013 · · Score: 1

    The golden path-to-profit:
    1 - Those who makes the rules, get the gold.
    2 - Those who have the gold, make the rules.
    3 - GOTO 1

    BTW: WTF is wrong with this POST form?!

  24. Re:It's "cyber-*" again. on Cyber-criminal Left In Charge of Prison Computer Network · · Score: 1

    You made me remember when every damn word had to have an @ in it, in order to be cool. @s are Internet's fluo cloth. Nobody wants them anymore.

  25. Re:Here's why on Most Mac Owners Also Own a Windows PC, But Not Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    More like: Analyze your current situation, then think how you can change it.
    Dumb and simple example: Take a job that requires you to have a Mac and make the company pay for it.
