  1. Re:So you're telling me on Windows 8 Mail Leaves Users Pining For the Desktop — or Even Their Phones · · Score: 1

    i think the releases where they try and add a bunch of new shit suck, then they scale it back for the next release and make it suck less.

    pimps wouldn't exist if prostitution wasn't illegal, maybe we should nuke the copyright laws and he wouldn't have a business model?

    if it's not illegal then all the arguments don't matter. either make it illegal to have anonymous file sharing or leave him alone.

  5. Re:oh boy on Raspberry Pi Model A Makes First Appearance · · Score: 1

    if 50 bucks is expensive maybe you should be saving up to pay for rent rather than buying toy computers.

  6. Re:Software Patents on After Android Trial, Google Demands $4M From Oracle · · Score: 1

    google would be retarded to not apply for patents, it's like saying war is bad in a warzone and then refusing to hold a gun. just because it's bad doesn't mean you don't have to play the game until someone changes the rules. that said google have been very good at not being litigious about the patents they do own.

  9. i can't see it really working on Joe Cornish To Write and Direct Snow Crash Movie · · Score: 1

    they could make a pretty good movie based on snow crash but so many of the ideas would just not translate to screen or just look plain retarded.

    yeah, people may be trampled while trying to get off the planet

  11. Re:..."revert back"... on Journal Offers Flat Fee For 'All You Can Publish' · · Score: 1

    genetically less apt is probably a bad turn of phrase. they can do it they just find it less interesting.

  16. Re:Genetics probably does play a role on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 1

    interesting comment, i'd like to know whether the percentage is different in countries without such rigorously defined gender roles is, i'm sure there are some European countries that don't try and force gender roles as much, do they have higher levels of women in technology jobs?

  17. Re:Oh come on... on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 1

    i think that women tend to not be in love with tech as much as guys (that's sexist, but it's been my experience) and rightfully see IT as a pretty pointless career path, so if you're not doing it for the love or the money why the hell would you bother with it?

  20. Re:A week? on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1

    i never said it was a problem, i personally torrent the shit out of tv and movies because it's slightly easier than getting them legally. i couldn't give a shit whether it's right or wrong, however i have been known to pay for reasonably priced quality content rather than torrent it.

  21. Re:A week? on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1
