  1. Easy? on Trying To Lure Suckers, Company Resells Open Source Blender · · Score: 4, Funny

    I knew it wasn't Blender because the commercial said it was "easy".

  2. Buy the phone in that country on Encrypting Phone Storage and Transmission? (2011 Version) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You will just need to buy that phone in the country you are going in. Otherwise you may loose it through customs unless you are a diplomat. Best to get something boring and assume that everything you send is readable by anyone. If you keep something that is valuable there is nothing that customs would like better than to have your device.

  3. Best Buddha on Geek Squad Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter To God Squad · · Score: 1

    In support for the father I am getting an old Super Beetle and painting Buddha Squad. The church is always in a funny position. You have to send a message to others otherwise you will loose your tithe and way of life. It is an obvious parody and spoof with a positive message. Best Buy may just say: Look you guys are funny, but don't put VWs all over the place. When the numbers increase, then it is an obvious ploy to use Best Buy's marketing to push a different cause.

  4. Apples to Orange Juice on 1979 Apple Graphics Tablet vs. the iPad · · Score: 1

    OK, a digitizer and the iPad both have a rectangular surface and they have cables. On that note let us compare the roof of a 67 Chevy to a shark fin.

  5. Dell Blown Capacitors on Dell Says 90% of Recorded Business Data Is Never Read · · Score: 1

    That would explain why Dell did not pay attention to the blown capacitor issue.

  6. Header to column with "...poor numbers." on Serious Design Failure At USAspending.gov? · · Score: 1

    It could be argued that the statement meant: "Comment here if you agree with this statement. OR If this is true check here." If someone is putting out honest numbers, there has to be a way the he or she can have feed back.

  7. Windows ME on Microsoft Exec Says, "You'll Miss Vista" · · Score: 1

    I think I misses windows ME only when I could not find my windows 98 second edition for an old laptop I was pushing to its limit. Then I discovered Damn Small Linux.

  8. Re:Main mistake they made? on Circuit City Closes Its Doors For Good · · Score: 1

    Wow! Higher than Best Buy! Is that possible? Anyway... They used to be a great store, but last year the year before last I shopped at Christmas and the store was in some kind of "lock-down" it was terrible to shop there. There were barricades to prevent free movement through the store, so you had to follow the maze out. It was awful. I never went in again.

  9. Re:Isn't There an Iron Maiden Song For This? on Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    That's just silly! You mean that if someone paid for it and it is known then it can be called a number. What about all the intentions I made to do well... Well, I never got recognized for intention. I think the kernel argument is a linux one and not Windows. Windows is marketing!

  10. Re:I should note... on NBC Direct Launches With Free Downloads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It works with Fedora 7 and Firefox. I am enjoying The Tonight Show.

  11. Re:Not competitive on EBay Admits To Bad Call On Skype · · Score: 1

    Skype could lower the price and increase sales. I would buy the service for $10 a month, so I could call my family out of the country. It might sound cheap, but the influx of cash would do wonders.

  12. Good Idea on Sun To Unveil Project Blackbox · · Score: 1

    Now your infrastructure can be ruined efficiently. It's easy to find me. I can be comprimised anywhere.

  13. Australlia Lost on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 1

    Brazil: 2 Australlia: 0

  14. Me Thinks That is Sun Microsystems on Insider's Look at High-Tech High-Speed Navy Vessel · · Score: 1

    It looks like the work of Sun Microsystems with the GUI. You just can't forget those pastels.

  15. More Xpde on XPde 0.5 - A Linux Desktop for Windows Users · · Score: 1, Informative
  16. Sales, Baby... Sales on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 0
    Microsoft sells PCs. PCs would not have boomed otherwise. Microsoft made the PC attractive. Without Microsoft (at first) preparing such a market, PCs would not have taken off the way they did.

    I am all for Microsoft and GNU/Linux and for that matter anyone who makes Open or proprietary software. The GUI is what counts. 65% of all people are visual learners. Maybe Microsoft did not invent the GUI, but they sure got it to my house faster than anyone else. Of course good training and education in computer science helps too.

    It seems like the author is taking the GUI for granted. The author is also not considering where it came from. The author is also forgetting the risk involved and the overhead of the corporation that markets Windows*.

  17. Clearly Define your job and tasks on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 1, Interesting
    You will have to clearly define your job and tasks and have a schedule for events. If you can not qualify what you do, then it will not be understood by others. No matter how good you are, if you can not describe what you do and how it takes time to do certain tasks, then you will not be able to sell your work.

    You are selling your work and job.

  18. Bullshit on Titania Nanotubes for Hydrogen Sensors? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Produce the words, but the facts have to be experienced.
