  1. A very wise man once said on Study Finds Google Is More Trusted Than Traditional Media · · Score: 3, Informative

    Beware the Government/Media complex.

    Say bad things about your master and you're no longer invited to the evening parties.

  2. I wouldn't be too hard on the feature on Chrome OS To Support "Legacy" PC Apps Through Remote Access · · Score: 1

    It will help a lot of people to have an easy to use remote desktop solution. Remove all of the client/server terminology to the end user. Just run this chromotion program on your windows pc and have the chrome station auto detect it. You privacy kooks are going to hate me for saying this: use the google cloud servers as an authentication and discovery proxy. The average slightly technical person eats this stuff up.

  3. Re:Change we can believe in? on IRS Wants a Cut of Sales On eBay and Craigslist · · Score: 1

    Let me break it down for you.

    Who said the era of big government is over?

    Who delivered the bribe to Sestak?

    There ya go. HAND.

  4. Change we can believe in? on IRS Wants a Cut of Sales On eBay and Craigslist · · Score: 0, Troll

    You didn't think the change would be good, did you?

    As that Sestak criminal would say, "The era of big government has returned."

  5. Pentium 4? on The Go-Anywhere Cyber Cafe In a Shipping Container · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They should have went with a more power efficient (and faster) core 2 duo. It's not like the cost difference would have been noticeable given the cost of the shipping container, solar panels, etc.

  6. The submitted missed the amazing part twice on ImageLogr Scrapes "Billions" of Images Illegally · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The amazing part is how someone gets enough storage space to store every image on the web.

    That sounds expensive to me.

  7. Re:it wasn't a distraction last year on Obama Calls Today's Ubiquitous Gadgets and Information "a Distraction" · · Score: 1

    However, it *is* racist when you are arresting a bunch of people for possibly being illegal immigrants simply because they have brown skin.

    Good thing that is not happening.

    Just because a protestor says so, doesn't make it true. The cops know there is an army of ACLU lawyers hovering at the courts waiting for the day a mistake is made.

  8. Just what they need on CBS and CNN Could Be Making News Together · · Score: 4, Funny

    Larry King guest starring on 60 Minutes.

    No Thanks. I'll keep my dial set to the hotties and relevant commentators on FoxNews.

  9. Re:Teabaggers??? on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Leaving your homosexual intentions behind, this law will be found legal under the 10th amendment. The AZ law carefully mirrors federal law, it does not call for the round-ups you liberal national socialists dream about.

  10. Re:Non English Speaking Citizens on Arizona "Papers, Please" Law May Hit Tech Workers · · Score: 1

    I lived in Flagstaff for 2 years. Most of my Navajo friends spoke english as well or better than my non-native friends.

    Chess is a game, not a sport.

  12. This is why I love Microsoft on Microsoft Promises To Fully Support OOXML ... Later · · Score: 4, Funny

    All of my software bugs get fixed in the "next" version.

    The video is only as good as the meta data associated with it.

  14. Re:This web thing. on A Public Funded "Microsoft Shop?" · · Score: 1

    Extension-free firefox gives you the same features as IE with a better rendering engine and less bugs.

    Extensions like firebug and others give you the addition of things not provided by any Microsoft software. Though by the knowledge demonstrated in your comment, you may not believe that software exists outside of microsoft.

  15. Re:New Ipad on Apple's "iPad" Out In the Open · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a personal problem. I walk around with 10" in my pocket every day.

  16. Firefox's future is in its own hands on Why Firefox's Future Lies In Google's Hands · · Score: 1

    And those hands are questionable. The browser doesn't really lead in any area. They are not pushing the standards compliance front (see the ACID tests). They are not leading the speed or javascript fronts. They have been resting on their plugin laurels. The bureaucracy is heavy (see firefox vs debian). The code itself is heavy. (the reason why webkit is chosen over gecko) And Asa, mozilla chief fanboi, thinks microsoft is a more trustworthy partner moving forward than google is. (see the bing recommendation)

    If Chrome gets a good plugin API and continues down the multiplatform path, firefox is toast.

  17. Why wait, we already know the answer on FCC Wants More Time To Craft Broadband Plan · · Score: 1, Troll

    It will be just like telephone and now health care. The people who want the service enough to buy it will be taxed to provide the service for people who don't care enough to buy it on their own.

  18. Re:While Grayson can be entertaining on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    BTW, his use of the word 'holocaust' was entirely appropriate. 'Holocaust' is not a word that has been reserved exclusively for the Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis. If people are dying in their hundreds every day at the hands of profit making health insurance extortionists, then to call it a holocaust is putting it fucking mildly.

    Yeah...paying for services and free emergency room service for everyone who can't is a true holocaust. Way to put it "fucking mildly."

    Getting sick and dying is natural.

    Gassing 6 million scapegoats is not.

    Get some perspective.

  19. While Grayson can be entertaining on Florida Congressman Wants Blogging Critic Fined, Jailed · · Score: 3, Interesting

    He can also be a jackass. Jail for a website?

    If only congress had people like him who were standing up on the right side of the issues. This and other comments (health care == Holocaust??) show he's a nut.

    *sarcasm* Thanks Florida.

  20. This is my problem with the privacy kooks on EPIC Files FTC Complaint Over Facebook's New Privacy Policy · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you don't like it, don't use it.

    Your stupid faux outrage over you posting your own pics on an internet site designed to share pics.

    Just STFU. "Civil libertarians" are fucktards.

    The emails were found in Sandy Berger's underpants.

  22. BSD code? on Microsoft Steals Code From Microblogging Startup · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Maybe MS thought it was MIT/BSD licensed because this is what you get when you use that license.

  23. ext is on MSWindows but not widely known on Microsoft Expands exFAT Multimedia Licensing · · Score: 1

    There are several quality open source programs I always use on Windows. Most know the big ones...Firefox and OpenOffice. Open Source advocates need to familiarize yourself with http://www.fs-driver.org. They have created an ext2 driver for windows. If this driver gains in popularity, it will be one less "Microsoft tax" you pay on your gadgetry.

  24. Re:Well on Palm Sued Over Palm Pre GPL Violation · · Score: 1

    You completely missed the "encourage the development of open source software" part of the grandparent post.

    The GPL doesn't allow conversion to BSD/MIT because it would be way too easy to go GPL to BSD/MIT to Closed.

    To reiterate, the GPL encourages the development of open source software. This is intentional and highly desired by software authors who use the license. If you don't like it, write your own code under your license of choice.

  25. Re:Too bad, really on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    For me, hitting delete in IrfanView deletes the file. Then I hit space to go on to the next image in the folder. It's a little odd because I figured delete would auto-advance the viewer but now the quirk is second nature.
