  1. The only question is on Need a Receipt On Taxes? The Federal Tax Receipt · · Score: 1

    Will I see tax on the receipt?

  2. I read it wrong the first time on Rivals Mock Microsoft's 'Native HTML5' Claims · · Score: 0

    I thought it was naked HTML5. Just imagine how wonderful Internet Porn will be!

  3. Let it be a lesson on Hacker Posts His Crime On YouTube, Lands In Jail · · Score: 1

    The FBI found the source code for the bot on his laptop.

    Open source doesn't really work for hackers.

  4. Put it another way on NY Times Asks Twitter To Shut Down Retweeting Feed · · Score: 1

    Tweet should have an option for "do not allow retweet for this tweet". Problem solved.

    Of course, it doesn't forbid people manually copy/paste the text, but still, this could be a useful feature.

  5. Re:Time to fire-up your laptop, then on Geologists Say California May Be Next · · Score: 1

    So, earthquakes are caused by irresponsible parenting? God damn you parents!

  6. Is this when the creepers get to eat? on See The Supermoon Tonight · · Score: 1

    Every 28 years, it gets to eat for 28 days?

  7. Re:Detection on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    They may go by browser's UA string.

    But I think using VPN would get around it.

  8. Re:13,000 gunshot detection systems? on US Military Deploys Personal Gunshot Detectors · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think you misunderstood. Get a clue, there is only one detector!

    What the system does is that it detects if someone fires 13,000 gunshots at you.

  9. Re:How do you exchange stuff in the first place? on Is the Business Card Dead? · · Score: 1

    I guess you never heard of the phrase 'there is an app for it'? Check out bump.

  10. Re:uh on Time Warner Cable Launches iPad App With Live TV · · Score: 1

    But you can HDMI it to your TV! Watching directly on the TV is so 20 century.

  11. Re:Two explanations... on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    Its more about control than money.

    Web-based apps == less control for Steve == bad for Apple

  12. Who saw it coming.. on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    After Jobs said in public Apple was committed to supporting HTML5?

  13. Re:Open source vs proprietary on Richard Stallman: Cell Phones Are 'Stalin's Dream' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have to teach them how to use it and advise them of its limitations daily.

    Yes, open source software doesn't require teaching. Just tell the uers to RTFM.

  14. It's the Hollywood! on The Life of a Cybercrime Investigator · · Score: 1

    Look, I know who they are, the bad guys. Haven't you noticed in every hollywood movie that features a hacker, they use totally different hacking tools than what we see normally? Those Matrix like, futuristic hacking scenes allow a mediocre hacker to crack DoD mainframes in like 15 seconds with a gun pointing to his head! Un-Be-lieable! Oh, and don't forget that they all use Macs. I don't have any proof that is related, but Steve Jobs is on some big freaking Studio's board.

  15. Re:A fluke on New MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals 'Shoddy Assembly' · · Score: 1

    Would you listen to yourself?

    So when other manufacturers screw up the quality, they are just bad manufactureres. When Apple screws up, it's because it's so damn successful?

    Wow. I can only, Wow.

  16. Re:Linux on Linus Goes Hollywood At Pre-Oscars Party · · Score: 1

    That's a son after a fork.

  17. How many are linked to Facebook? on Study Calls Craigslist 'a Cesspool of Crime' · · Score: 1

    Awaiting the updated version of the study.

  18. Re:NOK is in trouble. on Windows Phone 7 Update Jams Some Phones · · Score: 1

    And the next thing you know, the sky is falling.

  19. Re:Missed some on The Seven Types of Hackers · · Score: 1

    The legendary hot female hackers.

    They only exist in fairy tales, and dreams of /. readers.

  20. Re:30% forever? on Apple To Keep 30% of Magazine Subscription Revenue · · Score: 1

    Renewal goes through Apple too since Apple owns your information.

    I wonder how Amazon and Netflix would go about this.

  21. Re:Microsoft plays catchup? on Windows Phone 7 To Get Multi-Tasking, IE9, Xbox Integration · · Score: 1

    Which is the case for Windows phone as well

  22. Makes sense on Google Says Honeycomb Will Not Come To Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Honeycomb looks amazing on a tablet, and just like Steve Jobs said, iOS is like "baby software" compared to it.

    Apple needs to make iOS on tablet more optimized for the bigger screen, and for the same reason, I don't expect Honeycomb fits the small screen of a smart phone. iOS still makes more sense on a Phone.

  23. Re:Why Apple? on Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store · · Score: 1

    Do we really want Apple to police this?

    Hey, what's the weather like today at Mars?

    Apple policing App Store? Unthinkable!

  24. Egypt wasn't shut down on More Trouble Expected When Egypt Comes Back Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    They just used up their monthly data caps. They will be here in the next billing cycle.

    An AT&T spokesman said.

  25. Everyone is missing the point.. on PlentyofFish Hacked, Founder Emails Hacker's Mom · · Score: 1

    What happened after the dude emailed the other dude's mom? Did they make out? This is a nerd's ultimate revenge!
