  1. Re:Hah! on China Calls Out US On Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    The USA abuses people, denying them legal aid, classing them as enemy combatants and leaving them to rot in Cuba. Secondly, the US does censor the internet what with the power to take a website down with warrants AND it was made public recently of military software that pretends to be an internet user, using this to manipulate online discussion forums. I think it's even worse than China, at least with China you know where you stand.

  2. Re:if only the taliban had a space program... on What If America Had Beaten the Soviets Into Space? · · Score: 1

    Surprised nobody else beat me to the joke actually.

    TSA: "Have you brought any fruit or vegetables onto the planet?" Lady: "Two weeks."

  4. Woo progress, not! on No U.S. Government Shutdown This Week · · Score: 5, Informative

    This image says it all really - http://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/2011-spending-trillion-cartoon.jpg. As an outsider looking in, it's obvious to me the government really needs to cut military funding. Our UK government has done. Apart from a cool info graphic on the NYT a few months back where you could pretend to make the necessary cuts yourself I've never see this mentioned anywhere else in the US media.

  5. Re:7.4 != 9.2 Not even close. on 7.4-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Off Japan; Tsunami Alert Issued · · Score: 1

    Yes, made me chuckle especially when my family live in Blackpool AND only last month were ringing me, telling me how lucky I am, to not be in Japan at the moment. That later situation I found ironic.

  6. Hold I missed something here on Cable Channels Panic Over iPad Streaming App · · Score: 1

    People are willingly paying for content and they *still* want to sue (somebody)?

  7. Re:At the risk of my nerd card... on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    Its a welcome change that the 11th Doctor doesn't pine over lost women. He just gets on with it, even when he technically has a wife as well!

  8. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    I have never watched it, I remember my dad getting excited about it. I'm not even going to read what happens in the wiki article for Lost.

  9. 9.0 magnitude earthquake Unpossible? on Geologists Say California May Be Next · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The link doesn't explain why the San Andreas fault can't have a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Can anybody please explain what makes this fault line so special or immune to such devastation? I'm of the belief anything is possible. Especially when I have my Snake Plissken eye patch ready for some over the top action sequences.

  10. Re:Developing countries, not US on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    I think they do, they just don't want to listen to it.

  11. Re:Self regulation = no regulation on UK ISPs To Make Voluntary Net-Neutrality Commitment · · Score: 1

    Not when there are tens and tens of ISPs in the UK, all working under local loop unbundling, a policy the EU requires for fairer competition

  12. Re:Yes on Can You Beat a Computer At Rock-Paper-Scissors? · · Score: 1

    Stop playing on novice and come and get creamed with the Viet Cong mode.

  13. Re:Wow, it's pretty short on A Letter On Behalf of the World's PC Fixers · · Score: 1

    90% of the world don't buy PC's. Business buy in bulk for employees. Parents buy for kids. Those two examples exclude your line of reasoning where people prefer to use a PC. A lot of people just use what's available.

  14. Re:Nokia has amazing hardware, but not software on Nokia Has a Billion Reasons To Love WP7 · · Score: 2

    Nice Troll. Apple wants to control its own ecosystem, but they use and define open standards. There is a difference.

  15. Re:That's it, I quit humanity on Blade Runner Sequels and Prequels Happening · · Score: 1

    "Do you have any regrets?" "Garfield". Best line in the movie.

  16. Re:That's it, I quit humanity on Blade Runner Sequels and Prequels Happening · · Score: 1

    Thanks for telling me about this film, I'll go watch it now. I'll watch anything with Bill Murray in.

  17. Re:Santorum on Google's Fight Against 'Low-Quality' Sites Continues · · Score: 1

    Goolge? Have the French made their own version of something again?

  18. Re:Why does he fear Sweden will send him to US? on Julian Assange To Be Extradited To Sweden · · Score: 1

    No the US is behind because the Republicans want to take away child planning services from women and make abortion a very difficult process.

  19. Re:Good? on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 1

    Scott Pilgrim was fun for 20 minutes and then got boring.

  20. Re:Fight! on Google Announces One Pass Payment System · · Score: 1

    Ate you deluded? Apple gives back code to the community. How can they steal KHTML?

  21. Re:Is anybody really surprised? on Science Programs Hit Hard By Proposed Budget · · Score: 1

    Steven Elop said something about standing on a burning platform, I'm sure he didn't mean Nokia.

  22. Re:Jobs knows best? on Shareholders Push Hard For Apple Succession Plan · · Score: 1

    How do you explain record growth in Mac sales? The iPad is a new product for a different market to one they weren't in at the beginning of last year. The iPhone itself is barely 4 years old. What's an old market?

  23. Re:Jobs knows best? on Shareholders Push Hard For Apple Succession Plan · · Score: 1

    Or buy back the shares.

  24. Re:Apple is too big and well entrenched to fail on Netgear CEO Says Jobs's Ego Will Bite Apple · · Score: 1
