  1. Re:So... what's the difference? on Mathematics Says Romney and Santorum Tied In Iowa · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The idea that tax cuts lead to job growth has a decade long track record of failure, but is still the leading republican platform for job creation. The whole party is far out of the mainstream.

  2. Re:@Motorola - hope you're paying attention! on HTC Unlocks Bootloader For All of Its Devices · · Score: 1

    But they're owned by Google now.

  3. Re:Lousy t-shirt on 17-Year-Old Wins $100K For Creating Cancer Killing Nanoparticle · · Score: 1

    We as Americans rejected knighthoods, nobilities, and titles when we rebelled against the Crown. Tax holidays are reserved for "Job Creators". Not people that actually create jobs, but people that have so much money already they could hypothetically create jobs if they wanted to.

  4. Re:Go with the simple over complex theory on Feds Helped Coordinate Occupy X Crackdowns · · Score: 1

    The difference is that now is that people that work for a living receive higher taxes than those that live on handouts (capital gains).

  5. Re:Doesn't Matter on CarrierIQ: Most Phones Ship With "Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    That's actually 745,668 *installs* which is very different, especially with the prevalence of nightly installs. Source: http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/

    Not entirely sure, but they have opt-in analytic during the install process.

  7. Re:Something not quite right on NYPD Dismantling Occupy Wall Street Encampment · · Score: 1

    It might be private property but in order to gain concessions elsewhere, the property owners agreed to open the park 24 hours a day for public use. Claiming some kind of private privilege to this property is reneging on their agreement with the people of NYC.

  8. Re:They can block all they want on Film Studios Seeking Complete Block of Newzbin2 in the UK · · Score: 1

    False equivalencies. The US version is half water (ice).

  9. Re:RIP please? on Hotmail Mobile Usage Spikes Thanks To Apple iOS 5 · · Score: 1

    I like how Dan541 is casually inventing a new word. I hope allot of people use it!

  10. Re:I really don't like sony but... on PS3 Enjoys Retail-Wide Sales Spike After Price Cut · · Score: 1

    Most modern TVs have PC input. If it doesn't, it's probably crappy enough to make you not need a blu-ray player.

  11. Re:Shysters all on RIAA Math: Sell 1 Million Albums, Still Owe $500k · · Score: 1

    Some of it is... What isn't soon will be.

  12. Re:And thus there was Android on Google Slams Apple Over iPhone Ad Ban · · Score: 1

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

  13. Re:Windows mirrors linux mirrors windows. on Fedora 13 Is Out · · Score: 1

    Still had the option on XP, but it broke on occasion. My least favorite example being the auto-complete on Outlook. Sure, Outlook provides a drop down for suggested email addresses, but you can't select any because the mouse automatically selects the window it's hovering over so the dialog closes immediately.

  14. Re:I noticed this problem almost half a decade ago on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    Word 6 (circa 1993) had Autocorrect. You can tell it to replace 'i' with 'I'. It will automatically capitalize the first word of a sentence. There's even a red line when you use a word that's not in the dictionary (Firefox does this too!). Even IM programs nowadays have features to auto-replace words. Why don't more people use it? I think autocorrect/autocomplete technology will fix this problem if we let it.

  15. Re:The key being ... on Harvard Says Computers Don't Save Hospitals Money · · Score: 1

    This article ignores the free-market aspect of how much things cost. If administrative costs can be billed at $X, it doesn't matter if it really is more efficient, it will still cost $X. It does however state that there is a modest improvement in *quality* of the data, which is a win.

  16. Re:stupid question but..... on Obama Proposes Digital Health Records · · Score: 1

    So much of healthcare is spent at the top (doctors, nurses, etc.) that the rest of the system usually operates on a shoestring budget. I would imagine most institutions barely have the resources to keep their current systems functional.

  17. Re:Taxing the rich more on Obama's Evolving Stance On NASA · · Score: 1

    You're ignoring the fact that rich people can afford the CPA that helps them find tax shelters/loopholes to appear less rich.

  18. Re:Copyright broken on Scrabulous Returns To Facebook, As Wordscraper · · Score: 1

    If this was not a copyright issue, then why did HASBRO file a DMCA complaint?

  19. Re:It's just a bunch of lawyers. on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 1

    So all the factories moved overseas due to emissions standards? I could have sworn it was the cheap labor.

  20. Re:It's just a bunch of lawyers. on Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad · · Score: 1

    Those sneaky Democrats! At least the Republicans are honest about sabotaging the government they work for.

  21. Re:BLASPHEMY! on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It actually makes sense because the Windows version is cheaper, or so I've heard. Geeks shouldn't have a problem installing Linux if that's what they want eventually. If they wanted to switch to Windows after opting for the Linux box, it would cost them extra money. I don't think you'll be playing hard-core games on " budget ultra-portables".

    The hot coffee content did not contain nudity.

    If bribing a judge is an extra impediment, I welcome it.

  24. Re:all for the easy buck on The Anatomy of Money-Mule Scams · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course, you'll probably have to take a loan to do this, so a good chunk of the first several years of your increased income is actually going to interest payments. Then you have to actually find the job you want afterwards, and hope they won't lay you off if they happen to lose that big contract. Great plan!

  25. Misdirection on National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You're Under 50 · · Score: 1

    The problem that RealID solves is how can we milk $3.9 billion from the government... Expect some of these requirements to include patented technology that needs to be leased.
