  1. Re:The damage is already done on Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud' · · Score: 1

    Ooop. I misread that. Thanks.

  2. Re:The damage is already done on Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud' · · Score: 1

    No they don't. Just because one study was proved to be fraudulent, they are now all fraudulent? that's poor logic.

  3. Re:Licensing and Freedom on Saudi Arabia Requiring License For Online Media · · Score: 1

    Hell, he even told us about how he shot a buck in some guy's front yard when he was a teenager.

    And thanks to him this is why we have to have licenses.

  4. Re:Broken? on Google's Next Challenge, Spam Results · · Score: 2

    Yeah, Google's results are not what they used to be (especially when searching for reviews and benchmarks), but I keep hearing people say they are useless and I have yet to see anything I prefer. I keep wondering if they are using the same Google that I am.

  5. Re:The Scorpion and the Frog on Groklaw — Don't Go Home, Go Big · · Score: 2

    The frog mind controlled the scorpion to set him up for murder, is that what I'm getting here?

  6. Re:GOOD for them on Amazon Censorship Expands · · Score: 2

    I don't disagree, but they already sold it, so they don't have any right to take it back from the people they sold it to.

  7. Re:Do you even own one? on Dell Reveals Specs For the Looking Glass Tablet · · Score: 1

    I don't own any, because there's none that I like, but the 7" ones I have messed haven't disappointed me in screen size. Hell, I'm just going to be reading web pages and replying to e-mail on it. If I was going to do anything more and wanted a 10" I already have a netbook.

  8. Re:ergh on Dell Reveals Specs For the Looking Glass Tablet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, because people who want a different product from the one you want are obviously not geniuses like you. 10" is not what I want in a tablet at all.

  9. What does this bring to the table on iPad Newspaper From News Corp Rumored in January · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How is this better than a web-based news source, even a paywalled one?

  10. Re:Socially engineered attacks ARE a huge problem on NSS Labs Browser Report Says IE Is the Best, Google Disagrees · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They certainly cannot be considered "independent" or "unbiased" at a minimum. So they aren't of much value until real 3rd party tests are performed.

  11. Backups? on When Your Company Remote-Wipes Your Personal Phone · · Score: 1

    If you keep a ton of data you need on your phone, or anything, you should probably keep backups. There's plenty of ways to have your device wiped out or destroyed.

  12. Re:{Yawn} on A Single Re-Tweet Lands Chinese Woman in Labor Camp · · Score: 1

    I *do* like cheap electronics!

  13. Re:Is English your third language? on UK Politician Arrested Over Twitter 'Stoning Joke' · · Score: 1

    If the tweet has no context, there's no way to determine intent. I certainly disagree with all the assertions in your original post, and certainly so do many posters here, so stop pretending your singular interpretation is the sole cut-and-dried truth of the case (since that seems to be all your argument relies on).

  14. Re:Ok great for beginners on Ubuntu Dumps X For Unity On Wayland · · Score: 2, Informative

    Linux is NOT Unix. That's been pretty important since day 1. And Unix doesn't need X, since OSX is Unix (real Unix, not Linux) and only runs X under it's main (non-X) window manager as needed (just as Shuttleworth is talking about doing with Wayland). As a matter of a fact, you can have a Unix or Linux box without any windowing system on it at all! It's amazing, I know, but totally possible.

  15. Re:copyright is not compatible with internet on Cook's Magazine Claims Web Is Public Domain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No more than putting something in print (where technology has existed for some time allowing people to freely copy and redistribute your work) involves giving up control of it. Just because it's easy to do something doesn't mean it's moral or should be legal to do so.

  16. Bandwidth? on Will Netflix Destroy the Internet? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, that bandwidth is what I pay my ISP for...

  17. When it's done on For Firefox 4, You'll Need To Wait Until 2011 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nothing wrong with releasing it when it's done.

  18. Re:So will they stop suing Google? on IBM and Oracle To Collaborate On OpenJDK · · Score: 2, Informative

    Only if you please explain how Davlik (which does not claim to be Java, although that is the language it uses) is "doing exactly the same thing?" especially since their complaint is that is has LESS features than normal Java, rather than more. I have never seen Google make any claims of 100% cross-compatibility between Davlik and Java.

  19. Re:More evidence of the W3C's increasing irrelevan on W3C Says Don't Use HTML5 Yet · · Score: 1

    Thank you. 802.11n vs. 'Draft-N' was exactly what came to mind. If we wait around for standards bodies to approve already functional and complete specs instead of moving on with our lives, technology will progress as slowly as an involuntary bureaucracy would have made it. It's the right thing to choose to move ahead with a complete and functional spec if the paper for it isn't being pushed fast enough.

  20. Re:Different...how? on OCZ IBIS Introduces High Speed Data Link SSDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Probably. The point is that it's a whole new drive interconnect. They have another product that is a standalone card which supports 4 drives in a RAID. These drives only come with a card because it's a new interface technology and they are assuming you won't have a port for it yet. It's an open standard so they are gambling on it eventually becoming the standard for SSDs and having it built into motherboards and such.

  21. Re:Familiar connectors on OCZ IBIS Introduces High Speed Data Link SSDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Those are just very high-end SAS cables, so yes.

  22. Chinese driving on The Bus That Rides Above Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Chinese driving is not compatible with this idea. Chinese cities have some terrifying traffic behavior. Not that I think such a system would even be safe in the nicest town.

  23. "ill-fated?" on Mars Rover Spirit May Never Wake From Deep Sleep · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think "ill-fated" is a term you would use for something that performed far beyond expectations.

  24. Forgetting isn't the problem on The End of Forgetting · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe it's more of a problem with our two-faced, overly moralistic society. Instead of "forgetting" that other people started off young and exhibitionist, we should "remember" that many of the people bitching started off the same way too. And maybe those people should forgive other people when they realize they have their own faults. Or even better, not judge people according to their own personal moral codes.

    OpenDNS fails this, too. Hopefully they will be quick on fixing it.
