  1. Re:Worse? on Forbes Names Microsoft's Steve Ballmer Worst CEO · · Score: 1

    Nintendo doesn't sell their consoles at a loss.

  2. Re:Two More Words on The Avengers: Why Pirates Failed To Prevent a Box Office Record · · Score: 1

    Alien Resurrection

  3. Re:WOW!! on Mitch Altman Parts Ways With Maker Fair Over DARPA Grant · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the internet would be as free and open as ours still if it was made in an alternate reality by private enterprises.

  4. Selling your information on Facebook: Legal Action Against Employers Asking For Your Password · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How is Facebook supposed to sell this information if companies can demand it for free from new hires?

  5. When it's done... on Diablo 3 To Be Released On May 15th · · Score: 1

    See subject and mourn the loss of a once great company.

  6. Re:Black out EVERYTHING on Reddit Turning SOPA "Blackout" Into a "Learn-In" · · Score: 1

    That is a great way to be sued into oblivion by anyone that relies on the internet for their livelihood. While I agree with your statement of its "one day or the rest of our lives" many won't.

  7. Re:iPad vs. all Android tablets on Why 2012 Will Be the Year of the Android Tablet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Out of curiosity, what phone/os did you have that was barely functional and what features did a custom Gingerbread ROM add that you didn't have before?

  8. Re:Not surprising... on Battlefield 3 Banned In Iran · · Score: 1

    Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 starts with players destroying American landmarks IIRC.

  9. Re:SSNs? on New Jersey DMV Employees Caught Selling Identities · · Score: 1

    Last 4 of SSN

  10. Re:saved! on Climate May Be Less Sensitive To CO2 Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    But there are thousands of years of coal left.

  11. Re:Revenue or Safety? on Multi-Target Photo-Radar System To Make Speeding Riskier · · Score: 1

    Can't have that, time to implement the safe driving tax...

  12. Re:Do not want on Next-Gen Game Consoles Still Years Off · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a software problem.

  13. Moderation on Android ICS Will Require 16GB RAM To Compile · · Score: 1

    Do it too fast and you'll get an ice cream headache.

  14. Re:Who actually uses it that much? on Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans · · Score: 1

    I've used between 5-6 GB a few months with some pretty heavy Pandora use. Guesstimating roughly 5-6 hours per weekday on the highest bit rate.

  15. Re:Bad plan on HTC Considering Buying Own OS · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't branching off of Android also make you open to an assault from Oracle?

  16. Re:PS3 mouse response too slow. on PS3 Counter-Strike To Support Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    I've tried hooking up the keyboard for use with Netflix on the PS3 and it had terrible responsiveness too.

  17. News? on Why Nobody Wants You On OKCupid · · Score: 1

    While I too feel that bad spelling and grammar make me think someone is an idiot, wouldn't a professional writer expressing this be a little biased?

  18. I'm probably an odd case on Coming Soon, Shorter Video Games · · Score: 1

    I'm a mission to finish every game I've ever purchased (and still own). I find myself often finishing games years after I purchase them. I often pick up games on the cheap on Steam and don't start seriously playing them for months but I do poke around with them a bit when I first purchase them. I've found the main reasons I don't finish games are boring games that are just bleh, technical difficulties, or just getting stuck on a part taking a break and coming back not remembering what the hell I was doing. I have on occasion found myself saying a game is too long but that is typically because it is boring to begin with. Really good games you don't want to end! If games are getting shorter I hope the prices are getting cheaper, ha fat chance.

  19. Re:It seems good on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 1

    Seriously, my money is going to the ex-Blizzard guys that still give people want they want. Torchlight 2 and Guild Wars 2 hoooo!

  20. To the source on Missouri Law Says Students, Teachers Can't Be Facebook Friends · · Score: 1

    Lets just ban adults (parents included) from talking to children entirely. Every adult is a pedophile and cannot be trusted to form any sort of social connection with a child. This is a pretty dumb law, I could see cases where students may want to be friends with teachers via social networks. It could be a really good way to organize extra curricular activities/clubs.

  21. Re:It must be true!! on Chinese Couple Sells Kids To Fund Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    Ding ding ding, winner!

  22. Re:It must be true!! on Chinese Couple Sells Kids To Fund Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    Probably home birth. AFK water breaking.

  23. Re:Recognition vs usefulness on NoScript Awarded $10,000 · · Score: 1

    Don't let the comedic animated gif hit you on the way out.

  24. Re:Perfectly sound legal arguments on Slate: Amazon's Tax Stance Unfair and Unethical · · Score: 1

    That is what property tax is for. Which they either pay or are exempted by the state to encourage the business residing there.

  25. Re:Someone who understands the purpose of an OS on It's Not a New Ballmer Microsoft Needs; It's a New Gates · · Score: 1

    The 64-bit version of Win 7 requires more than the 32-bit version.
