  1. Re:Facebook pages for roles, not people? on The Queen Joins Facebook · · Score: 1

    IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD, I TELL YA! That was probably his point - that the white English folks can't be proud of being white English, and somehow England is being marginalised. Or some such shit. If I'm wrong, I apologise.

  2. Re:yes! on UK Reviewing Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    That one was pretty informative, actually.

  3. Re:Yeah... on Nicaragua Raids Costa Rica, Blames Google Maps · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's not the wealth of the area that affects how well-mapped it is, but the wealth of the people who are interested in said area.

  4. Re:What happens if the OS does run? on Swedes Show Intel Sandy Bridge Running BIOS-Successor UEFI · · Score: 1

    There is so much bullshit in your post. Seriously. I didn't know Macs never went wrong.

  5. Re:Beware mod-pagespeed on CDN Optimizing HTML On the Fly · · Score: 1

    It doesn't attempt to combine JavaScript files.

  6. Re:Yes it will cause browser quirks on CDN Optimizing HTML On the Fly · · Score: 1

    It's a bit more intelligent than that. Maybe you should read about it before wading in with your opinion?

  7. Re:What secrets do the Swiss have? on Nuclear Bunker Houses World's Toughest Server Farm · · Score: 1

    God damn you suck at history. Seriously, that was embarrassing to read. Do you even know what "fascism" and "socialism" mean? And that eugenics were popular across the spectrum back in the early part of the 20th century. I'd wager not. God you're a fucking idiot.

    Hahaha! Major history failure right there.

  9. Re:It probably will never reach AVC in quality on New VP8 Codec SDK Release Improves Performance · · Score: 1

    Ha! I always knew you were full of shit, and that post just proves it. Apparently Libertarian=="clueless muppet with a tenuous grasp on a subject, but convinced they know best".

  10. Re:It probably will never reach AVC in quality on New VP8 Codec SDK Release Improves Performance · · Score: 1

    To be fair, MPEG-LA have not been dicks about licensing, even before WebM turned up on the scene. Their license fees are fantastically tiny, and they've publicly stated, repeatedly, their intentions (which would make it rather difficult for them to change, from both a business and legal standpoint). No one gives a shit about licensing in the non-FOSS world. Manufacturers see that it costs them a few cents per browser or TV shipped, and they just go with it. That's why H.264 is everywhere, and Vorbis is not - quality is everything, openness is (unfortunately) not.

  11. Re:I'm not worried. on Fighting Ad Blockers With Captcha Ads · · Score: 1

    You do realise it costs sites money to have visitors, right? And that if you want to visit a site, you clearly find value in their content. Why don't you simply allow adverts on sites you like to visit? And if their ads annoy you, simply don't visit that particular site again. I don't understand all these posts where people are advocating ripping off the sites they love to visit. It seems incredibly counter-productive, not to mention rather selfish to say the least. I've never used AdBlock for that very reason - if a site has annoying adverts, I stop using it and find a comparable site with a better advertising policy.

  12. Re:The one they always overlook on The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    Maybe he entered a random number, and every universe in which he didn't enter 1955 spontaneously ceased to exist, which is why he seemingly entered a very important number by accident. Or I need to smoke less. Or more. I forget.

  14. Re:Steve Jobs has clout on Are Consumer Hard Drives Headed Into History? · · Score: 1

    Because he's already made up his mind, and somehow can't realise that he doesn't know everything. "SSDs = bad" and that's that.

  15. Good JS performance is not everything. on Firefox 4's JavaScript Now Faster Than Chrome's · · Score: 1

    The rest of the browser is so god-damned slow when compared to Chrome, at least for me. It doesn't matter that it can execute JS on a webpage 10% faster than another browser, if loading that page alone takes 200% longer than on said other browser.

  16. Re:Water? on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 1

    This is not the same DNA as you are made of. It doesn't behave the same way.

    This is not evidence all on its own, it's used to further investigation.

    No, they have a hard time filling the spray bottle with a substance that is only issued to a single, specific company.

  19. Re:Wishful thinking... on One Step Closer To Speedier, Bootless Computers · · Score: 1

    What the fuck? Seriously? What do we have to show for it? If that's the way you feel, you better be typing that on an old IBM box. I can't believe you posted that.

  20. Re:The Greeks on President Obama To Appear On Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    You might want to read up about the League of Nations, their intended purpose, and how it's different to the UN :)

  21. Re:no it won't on Smart Grid May Also Carry IPv6 Traffic · · Score: 1

    Luckily the rest of the world is not limited by your arrogance. Who gives a fuck if you don't think IPv6 will ever be wide-spread? Or if you're sceptical of power grids also carrying data?

  22. Re:It doesn't sell. on DoD Study Contradicts Charges Against WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    If the war was not made on false premises, then Bush Jr. should have been removed from office for giving the Taliban $43m in aid in May 2001. Also the Taliban offered to hand OBL over if the US showed them the evidence demonstrating it was OBL who planned the heinous acts attributed to him.

  23. Re:No, it means you don't understand irony. on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 1

    Really? You think he's mad that he can't achieve a state of gullibility? To learn to not value this life, as an eternity awaits after? Yeah, sounds fucking awesome. Asshole.

  24. Re:Revenue Collection on French City To Use CCTV For Parking Fines · · Score: 1

    It's not spying if you are in public, and unless those cars are causing incomprehensible damage by driving into people's private residences, it seems your choice of word was a bit sensationalist.
