  1. Newer phones on Wiping a Smartphone Still Leaves Data Behind · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd be more interested to see if he can still do it on a newer model. The earlier models of iPhones were well known to have poor security.

  2. Re:Fanboy attack on Alan Kay Says iPad Betrays Xerox PARC Vision · · Score: 1

    Well technically it's not true. If the friend has a developer account he can add your device and then deploy to it. It's not a great solution though.

  3. Re:Really!? on EFF Moves To Nix Trademark On "Gaymer" · · Score: 1

    Well for starters we tend to post a lot of pictures of dicks (often but not always gaming related) to r/gaymers and that isn't really welcome in r/gaming and r/games. Our conversations also tend to stray into gay sex which also isn't really welcome in the community at large. Also, I met my boyfriend in the r/gaymers IRC channel so there is also dating reasons.

    I find it strange that so many people find it necessary to criticize us for forming a community based on shared interest.

  4. Re:Who Has Had Bad Experiences with Kickstarter? on Kickstarter Technology Projects Ship · · Score: 1

    The Ouya is a media center and a console that supports local multiplayer so hooking up a tablet using HDMI is not really the same thing. It's also a lot cheaper than most tablets worth buying.

  5. Re:But... on Android Hits 73% of Global Smartphone Market · · Score: 4, Funny

    You spelled "Windows Phone 8" wrong.

  6. Re:Ah yes... Non-featured features... on "Badass" Bug Infects and Kills Borderlands 2 Characters · · Score: 1

    What is it, a complex bug?

    I didn't mean it wasn't simple programatically. I meant it's not simple in that it is a game-breaking bug.

    in fact it sounds like it's working as designed but in a non-user-friendly way

    This is occurring because of modded Xboxes tripping a condition that was not tested. This is not working as designed at all. There is no warning to the players because it is not supposed to happen.

    It sounds like you need to watch the South Park World of Warcraft episode again

    It sounds like you need to read the article.

  7. Re:Ah yes... Non-featured features... on "Badass" Bug Infects and Kills Borderlands 2 Characters · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd say the ability to permanently kill an opponent in multiplayer is more than a simple bug.

  8. Re:Flawed assumptions. on Astronomers Search For Dyson Spheres of Alien Civilizations · · Score: 1

    I would imagine a species that is capable of building a Dyson Sphere would have left their evolutionary heritage behind a long time ago.

  9. Re:Computer does things a computer can do! on University Team Builds Lego and Raspberry Pi Cluster · · Score: 1

    Last I checked PC == Personal Computer regardless of architecture.

  10. Re:Howdy doodly doo! on Strong AI and the Imminent Revolution In Robotics · · Score: 0

    We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks.

  11. Re:Christ... on Analyzing the New MacBook Pro · · Score: 5, Funny

    You ever played a video game on a Roman aqueduct? The frame rate is atrocious.

  12. Re:Change for the sake of change? on Linus Torvalds Ditches GNOME 3 For Xfce · · Score: 1

    iTunes is a great operating system. All it lacks is a good music player.

  13. Re:Mysterious BS on Google Launches Google+ Social Network · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Forgiveness? on Music Pirates Won't Rush To iCloud For Forgiveness · · Score: 1

    The amount of guilt I feel for pirating can be expressed as 1/x where x represents the number of music files pirated. So while the amount of guilt I feel is not actually 0, the limit of the function is and I can get as arbitrarily close to 0 as I wish.

  15. Re:Instructions? on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 2

    Dave is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

  16. Re:MPG Difference Explained on Volkswagen Unveils 313 MPG XL1, Slates Production For 2013 · · Score: 1
  17. Re:A Partician is: on Euler's Partition Function Theory Finished · · Score: 1

    I thought he meant this guy.

  18. Re:First Jobs, now Schmidt on Eric Schmidt Out, Larry Page In As Google CEO · · Score: 1

    while(1){ printf("developers "); sweat(); }

  19. Re:Uh on Covert Video of Apple IPad 2 Just Released · · Score: 1

    Ya my 3GS just says iPhone. I checked as soon as I saw "iPad 2".

  20. World Press Freedom Day* on US To Host World Press Freedom Day · · Score: 1

    * For some definitions of "World", "Press" and "Freedom"

  21. Re:Not suprising on W3C Says IE9 Is Currently the Most HTML5 Compatible Browser · · Score: 1
  22. Re:Oh, snap! on Heroic Engineer Crashes Own Vehicle To Save a Life · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At the very least it would be a huge PR disaster for them to not pay out. This way they pay out mere peanuts and get lots of favorable press.

  23. Re:Lethal Weapon VII on Man Gets 12-Year Jail Sentence For Planting Child Porn On Enemy's Computer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The ultimate weapon of the twenty first century: a catapult that fires naked children at your enemies.

    If you give those children MP3 players filled with pirated music this weapon might just be capable of destroying the world.

  24. Re:Can it meet safety standards? on Meet the Virginia-Built 110MPG X-Prize Car · · Score: 2, Informative

    It had to in order to win the contest: http://www.progressiveautoxprize.org/prize-details

  25. Re:AIs on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    Second definition. Whether or not that's the definition intended doesn't change the implication.
