  1. Wyden, not "Ryden" on NYTimes Sues US Gov't To Know How It Interprets the PATRIOT Act · · Score: 1

    I believe Ron Wyden deserves more credit than this fictional "Ryden" character.

  2. Re:Oregon voters... on Oregon Senator Seeks To Block COICA · · Score: 1

    I knew there was a reason I voted for that guy.

  3. Re:How does it get any light? on Solar Power On the White House · · Score: 1

    ...none of the morons on the roadways south of the Mason-Dixon line have any clue how to drive in snow.

    So, if I grew up in Hawaii where it doesn't snow, I'm a moron for not knowing how to drive in the snow? Because everyone should know how to drive in the snow, even if they've never seen it, right?

  4. Re:Troubling on ISP Owner Who Fought FBI Spying Freed From Gag Order · · Score: 1

    The Who quote you're looking for is actually, "When a man is running from his boss Who holds a gun that fires cost"

    I had no idea you could play World of Warcraft on a smartphone.

    I'm sorry that someone forced you to read and comment on this story. I truly am.

    You see how fucking stupid you sound right now?

    I can play this game!

    I want an Oompa-Loompa NOW!

  9. Re:Because selling "Shine on you crazy diamond IV" on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    I'd take that one step further, I wish mp3 players were designed with a easy "Continue on to next track" feature for random play. I love having my iPod on shuffle, except when playing things that segue like Dark Side of The Moon or Abbey Road or Frank Zappa's Apostrophe. When a tune like "Brain Damage" comes on, it would be nice to have an one-push feature that will continue to "Eclipse", as opposed to Floydus Interruptus.

    When that happens, simply switch your random mode from "songs" to "albums". I do that all the time. Alternately, you can do what I've done in a couple of cases (Tool's Parabol/Parabola and Disposition/Reflection), which is to combine the two tracks into a single track using something like Audacity.

  10. Re:I'm paying for WHAT? on Microsoft VP Suggests 'Net Tax To Clean Computers · · Score: 1

    z"Does this mean that clueful people with secure computers are going to be required to pay to help clueless people with insecure computers?"

    Yep, just like the govt. healthcare 'reform' coming up...wants you to pay for Jerome and Debbie Public down the block who can't seem to understand contraception, exercise, food that isn't fast food, and that smoking is bad for you.

    Everybody uses health care resources. Not just the fat and stupid. Why are you such an ass?

  11. Re:Why wasn't Monsanto required to reveal this inf on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    I have no idea.

    So, Obama's appointments in 2009 allowed Monsanto to hide this information from 2001 to the present?

    Where's the link about the time machine?

  12. Re:My first hand experience on Modern Warfare 2 on Verizon Changes FiOS AUP, -1, Offtopic · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I agree. The whole Coke vs. Pepsi thing is way overblown. Gravy wins.

  13. Re:.NET Anyone? on Firefox 3.6 Locks Out Rogue Add-ons · · Score: 1

    the toolbar installation is clearly mentioned in the software EULA, so each time the toolbar is installed, the user agreed that he wanted it. As a developer for a Web optimizer plugin, this Firefox change will make it much harder for us to reach our users.

    I fail to see the downside for anybody but you, and you make it sound like you clearly deserve it.

    Here. This is for you.

  14. Re:Side note on Garlic Farmer Wards Off High-Speed Internet · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt that the cell tower has effected the crop, simply because the crop already existed. I think the farmer's efforts in planting may have effected the crop.

  15. Flanders (oblig.) on Railway Workers Get Daily Smile Scans · · Score: 1

    Just relax and let the hooks do their work.

  16. Re:Covered By Twenty Percent of the Bill of Rights on Bill Would Declare Your Blog a Weapon · · Score: 1

    Since most /. members that are actually afiliated with either party are Dems, and the majority of the unaffiliated are Liberal, it's no surpise that you won't get as much vitriol aimed at this woman than if she were seated on the other side of the isle.

    I was going to mod you a troll but had to respond. Perhaps you haven't been reading the posts here, but ALL of them that I've read so far have been outraged.
    Try pulling your head out of your ass.

  20. Re:Election Fraud on Kentucky Officials "Changed Votes At Voting Machines" · · Score: 1

    It's funny that you call it a 'frothing partisan political hackblogger', when I didn't even get the part where he's blaming either republicans or democrats. It looked like a piece on corrupt officials with little or no mention of party.

  21. Re:It's a plot! on Feds Plot Massive Internet Router Security Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Wrong meaning of plot. This is referring to a small patch of land.

    Weird. I thought they were talking about a storyline. Go figure.

  22. Re:Torturing humans, ok but torturing sharks? on Researchers Test Whether Sharks Enjoy Christmas Songs · · Score: 1

    The evil in the USA knows no bounds.

    I'm not certain, but I really don't think that Balloch, Dunbartonshir is in the US.

  23. Re:Well, I AM from Portland, and it's in my hood on Group Hopes to Rename Street After Douglas Adams · · Score: 2, Informative

    My thought was that one of the small one-or-two block long streets in the Hollywood district right next to 42nd Ave (like, say, the small alley that is 41st Place,) should be renamed "The Universe", that way someone can start a small deli in the old Fred Meyer building, and name it "The Restaurant at the end of The Universe". :-p There already is a Pub at the End of the Universe
  24. Re:Well, I AM from Portland, and it's in my hood on Group Hopes to Rename Street After Douglas Adams · · Score: 1

    I think the only major complaint would come from "42nd Street Station", a little mini-mall just off Sandy Blvd that would probably have to change their name!
    42nd Street Station shouldn't have to change their name. After all, Belmont Station is on Stark now.
  25. Re:Or maybe the quality on Name-Your-Cost Radiohead Album Pirated More Than Purchased · · Score: 1

    I'm just wondering why/how the pirated version would be encoded at 192kbps, when the original files from which they would have been made are at 160kbps. Remember that the CD is not yet available in stores. This would just mean that someone would have to re-encode the 160kbps files at 192kbps, and end up losing something along the way.
