  1. Re:Get a free IPod if you click on this google ad. on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    You obviously don't read this website much. Ever heard of Google Checkout?

  2. Re:block it? on Microsoft Workers Prefer Google · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Because people rise to the level of their incompetence. Anyone in the power to make the sort of decision is obviously incompetent.

  3. wow... unemployment for on Airport Video Surveillance Goes Hi-Tech · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I guess this means unemployment for Captain Obvious.

  4. Jehovah Witness on Convicted Hacker Adrian Lamo Refuses to Give Blood · · Score: 1

    Very simple solution he just needs to tell them he's a jehovah witness. He doesn't need to proove it.

  5. Re:Fight your own battles. on Tech Workers of the World Unite? · · Score: 1

    What country do you live in? and who is this "we" that can change laws?

  6. Unions are bad. on Tech Workers of the World Unite? · · Score: 1

    End of story. Unions are a knee jerk reaction to a bad situation. Don't like it? Move on. The best reaction is to stop working for the company and form your own with co-workers.

  7. Left hand, Right Hand on "H-Prize" Announced · · Score: 2, Informative

    I might be inclined to belive that if the government wasn't actively trying to block the research and developement of Hydrogen based cars as witnessed here.

    This is complete and udder fud.

  8. Re:spellcheck 'em on Cutting Off an Over-Demanding End-User? · · Score: 1

    grammar nazis are teh suck, notice how this isn't anonymous, cowards.

  9. Re:Why not make it the ultimate test of .NET? on IE The Great Microsoft Blunder? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because even micro$oft developers know not to program in .NET.

  10. Buzzwords and Challenges. on Code for Unbreakable Quantum Encryption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People really need to quit referring to anything as "unbreakable" or 100% secure. It's never going to happen. Just as making anything idiot proof, they will always build a better idiot. Saying it's unbreakable is just going to challenge someone to do it.

  11. Placing Blame... on Does Open Source Encourage Rootkits? · · Score: 1

    If you want to place blame for the outbreak of rootkits lay it at the feet of Sony and company for releasing their poor attempt at DRM.

    Rootkits wouldn't be half as popular as they are if the juevenile deliquents of the internet hadn't been so exposed to it.

  12. Road Deicing on High-Tech Electro-Defroster · · Score: 1

    Why not use it on roads for deicing? It gets rediculous in some parts of the country.

  13. Re:Out of control ? on AT&T Forwarding All Internet Traffic to NSA? · · Score: 1

    You seem to forget the individual who meerly paid off his credit card debt and was flagged as a terrorist.

  14. The real problem with dupes on Inside Intel's Next Generation Microarchitecture · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The real problem with dupes isn't the fact that there are the same two articles on the front page, nor the whines that come from it, or even the whitty banter chidding the mods.

    If I see an article I've already read at the top of the page I QUIT READING.

    This has happened to me several times over the number of years I've read this site. Then I end up coming back and realizing it was a dupe and that I missed several interesting articles inbetween.

    SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD READ YOUR OWN WEBSITE.

  15. Re:Would a different approach be better? on Ballmer Babies Banned From iPods and Google · · Score: 0

    this kind of reminds me of the father who was a suicide counselor, then all his kids went and killed themselves. showed him.

  16. Great... on New Tool Tracks Online Media Consumption · · Score: 0

    Great, how do you block it?

  17. Time = Money on Gold Buying - Time Saver or Cheating? · · Score: 0

    This is very simple and the reason I originally started gold farming in Ultima Online. Time equals Money. If I have an effcient way to convert time to money and you don't then we can come to make a deal. It's that simple. If it's not worth it to you to buy ingame currency then don't. It's just that simple.

    Now where this actually helps MMORPG is when people trade ingame currency for gametime subscription codes. This generates business for the game owner while also making money for the gold farmer. A win win situation.

  18. Re:They don't realise language changes. on Literacy Limps Into the Kill Zone · · Score: 5, Funny

    You didn't really have to go and proove them right, did you?

  19. Re:A few comments... on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 0

    Thing is I don't want to use it. I'm forced to use a Mac at my job and honestly I hate it. The userinterface I hate the most.

    Now honestly my company would save a lot of cash if it didn't have to buy over priced mac equipment. Since I belong to Co-op this is in my best interest.

    This isn't forcing my will on Apple and it certainly isn't stealing.

    This is me buying their product and installing on a computer they don't want me to. This would the same as any other company buying their product and have them try and tell me how to operate it. The only difference here is it is Intellectual Property and not a physical product.

    You can't sell me something and then say "you can only use it in this manor". I, and no one in their right mind, will accept this. Especially after the transcation has occured.

  20. Email Spoofing on January 2006 Virus and Spam Statistics · · Score: 0

    Spammers are spoofing the return address as being one of the valid domains (i.e. google.com, yahoo.com, msn.com...)

    the email addresses probably do not exist, or maybe they do

    another tactic i've noticed is putting your own email surname as the sender but from a different domain.

  21. A few comments... on Apple Embeds Message to OS X Hackers · · Score: 0

    First about EULA's:

    EULA's have absolutely no meaning for me. I don't even read them. I never agree to them either. I do know one thing though, if I'm using a software that has a EULA and I have to click an I agree radio button or someother input device to contintue, I know the only way I can use it is by pressing that button. Therefore the only way I can use a product for which I have paid real money for is by clicking a button to procede to the next step. I can no longer return this product for the money I have paid for it. Therefore it is mine to do what I want with.

    Therefore I have never accepted a EULA and as such am not binded by it. This includes this webstite.

    There's not a person on this planet who has the right to tell me what to do. I might take most things under advisement, but that is all.

    Where's the morality in forcing your wills upon another person?

    There's a lot of twisted people here willing to accept what others tell them. Don't. Question reality. (Even this should be questioned)

  22. Not very surprising... on How Songs Get Popular · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The results aren't very surprising considering their "virtual music market" consisted of teenagers.

  23. Re:designed and tested in mad town, eh? on The World's Fastest Image Processor · · Score: 0

    Warm beer? in Wisconsin? that's like having sex with your sister. (which is bad) /from mad town

  24. Thought experiment... on Verizon Threatens Google's 'Free Lunch' · · Score: 0

    Verizon: Give us money
    Google: No
    Verizon: Fine, we will block your traffic
    Google: Your lose

    I really don't understand what they expect to get out of it. They aren't going to win. Google is the defacto search engine now and quickly closing ranks on just about every other service. If I've failed to grasp the concept of the internet this last decade and half please someone correct me, but it works because it's all networked together. Start breaking that up and it's no longer a network.

  25. Re:Define "terrorist" for me on State of Multi-Monitor Gaming? · · Score: 0

    it all depends on point of view. i.e. which side of the gun you are on.
