  4. Re: Comcast iPv6 on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    When Comcast can't address new customers, they'll get off their ass.

    Actually, Comcast already has IPv6 in place and is rolling it out to customers.

    They notified me this week that I was getting it and I'm waiting on word when they'll send the IPv6 cable box to me.

  5. Re:No fly list is a dumb idea on Man Put On "No-Fly List" While In Air To NYC · · Score: 1

    Not to split hairs here. But there is no right to FLY a plane. Just as there is no right to DRIVE a car.

    Unless you are in California.

    Or Microsoft Office.

  8. Re:Wot? on Treasury Goes High-Tech With Redesigned $100 Bills · · Score: 2, Funny

    Eh, doesn't really matter since nobody carries hundreds.

    Move out of your parent's basement and get a job.

    What.is.Usenet?

    One of those strange old things that grandpa talks about like AOL and 2400 baud rate.

  10. Re:Who cares? on Cox Discontinues Usenet, Starting In June · · Score: 1

    DSL is just as fast as cable, at least the way that residential providers do it.

    ATT 6mbs/1mbs = Comcast 20mbs/5mbs?

  11. Re:Associations, not logogs on Study Finds Fast-Food Logos Make You Impatient · · Score: 1

    In other news, researchers find that showing pictures of anything quickly will make people impatient and in a rush to leave the silly test.

  18. Re:Doubt it will ever get made on Joss Whedon To Direct The Avengers · · Score: 1

    I disagree. I do not blame Fox for the early demise of Firefly.

    Even when Fox decided not to air the pilot episode first that set up the series?

    And then Fox demanded Joss pull an episode out of ass to be the replacement first episode?

    Greetings fellowRat.

  20. Re:No surprise. on Bloomberg Reports That Palm Is Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    Of all the carriers I've had (and I've had all the big ones), I've liked T-Mobile the best. I always have service, I never get screwed on my bill for no reason, the network seems as fast (or usually faster) and AT&T and Verizon. Why does everyone seem to hate them so much?

  21. Adamantium? on Scientists Turn T-Shirts Into Body Armor · · Score: 1

    Is it stronger than adamantium?

  22. Comment Summary on US Justice Dept. Investigates IT Hiring Practices · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google is for geeks, does open source and can do no wrong. This investigation is unfair.

    Apple is for users, does open source and is evil. This investigation is great!
