  1. Update Miranda if you want to be obvious.. on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 2

    'Anything you Tweet or post can and will be held against you in a court of law'?'"
    This goes without saying when you're communicating in a place where there is no expectation of privacy.

    While you're at it, why don't we add "shooting yourself in the head with gun could be fatal" and "consumption of raw plutonium could have serious health consequences"...

  2. Re:Oh Frack! on US Wants Natural Gas As Major Auto Fuel Option · · Score: 2

    I don't know where you came up with that, but it's not true. There are plenty of CNG vehicles in Oklahoma and they go a factor of 10 over your number. And if you want facts on the direction that CNG tanks are heading, read this: http://www.chk.com/News/Articles/Pages/1663289.aspx. Yeah, it's a PR, but it proves that the market is supporting further development.

  3. Multiples... on Facial Recognition Gone Wrong · · Score: 1

    I wonder what the dimwits would say when I tell them I'm an identical triplet and loan my pickup truck to my brothers...It's as if the people that think facial recognition is so great have never heard of identical twins, triplets, etc. They might say something stupid like "you look enough different to tell apart" and I'd tell them them they're full of crap. This article being case in point.

  4. Re:SALE ? on AMD Releases Open Source Fusion Driver · · Score: 1

    Not yet...Black Friday is still a few days off...

  5. One of these has been around for a LONG time... on New Gadget Tells You When To Take a Break · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...it's called A CLOCK!

  6. using vendor API's !welcome? on How To Get Rejected From the App Store · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...to using Apple's APIs without permission...
    Didn't Micro$oft have API's that they used and didn't want anyone else to use? Didn't they get lambasted for that?

  7. Re:Why? on Apple Rumored To Want To Buy Twitter · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...The whole thing seems slightly fishy to me.

    Isn't this Apple? Shouldn't that be "The whole thing seems slightly FRUITY to me."?

  8. Re:Why? on Apple Rumored To Want To Buy Twitter · · Score: 1

    fishy?....isn't this Apple? Shouldn't it be "fruity"?

  9. And the problem is... on UK To Mull High Video Game Taxes — To Fight Knife Crime · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...that some deranged turd will use WHATEVER weapon he can get his hands on to do WHATEVER he wants...
    outlaw guns, use knives
    outlaw/outtax knives, use baseball/cricket bats
    outlaw bats, use rutabagas
    You can never prevent crime, just certain tools used to accomplish it. Even if they have to resort to bare handed strangulation, that's what they'll do....

  10. Shouldn't the story really say... on India's Chandrayaan Lands Impact Probe On the Moon · · Score: 1

    India/Chandrayaan has become only the fourth nation to STAGE a landing a probe on the Moon...

    Come on...you know that nothing has ever been on the moon but sunlight

  11. Do the developers receive an acceptance letter? on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    I have't read the NDA or any details about the developer program, but I was wondering if they receive an acceptance letter. If so, can't they just say, if they have been denied, "We have not received an acceptance letter according to the developer program guidelines." Won't this get the message across?

  12. Damn, where's the on Rambus Claims It Was Price-Fixing Target · · Score: 3, Funny

    "crashed email server" when you need it...

  13. Re:I beg to differ on What is OpenLaszlo, and What is it Good For? · · Score: 1

    When did you try it? What was the OL version? Your post is worthless if you don't include relevent information. If it was in OpenLaszlo 2.x, you probably did struggle.

    I have no problem manipulating data on the client side and posting it back to the server.

    I also disagree with your statement about zero support on the forums. The questions that go unanswered are usually of the variety that are either 1) too stupid to be asked, or 2) so painfully obvious by at least a cursory glance at the documentation or 3) been asked and answered on the forums so many times that no one answers. Other than that, the forums are good for support.

  14. Re:Dvorak: wrong, again. on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Except there's been no new software backported to the Macintosh for how many years now? Can you image running Vista on a 68000 series chipset?

  15. And to see the fruits of their labor... on Red Hat Listed Among 50 Top Tech Companies · · Score: 5, Informative
  16. if it runs Windoze... on Video Tombstones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thank you...thank you...thank you very much...I'll be here all week!

  17. Re:Agile on Firefox Lead Engineer Scolds KDE Project · · Score: 0

    yes, and the fact STILL stands that Apple produced a better rendering engine and browser...Really good software can be produced using any one of a number of methodologies...

  18. In other news... on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 0

    HowStuffWorks.com has launched a related site: http://howtoslashdotawebsite.com./ It's all about how to post an article referencing a site that can't handle the load.

    Yes...but I don't think there's going to be a strong pull back....

  22. Who is the first... on Windows Cluster Edition · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    to bring up the fact that this will be a Microsoft Windows Cluster F**k?

  23. Donations for Jailhouses, anyone? on Dozens Charged in Spam Crackdown · · Score: 0

    I think the most responded to spam in history could well be the one that takes donations to PutTheBastardsInJail.org. This way, building supplies could be purchased to make the walking-pieces-of-crap build their own jail cells and then live in them...

    Somehow I think there would be no shortage of funds....

  24. Gives a whole new meaning... on Swedish Carbon-Fiber Stealth Ship Runs NT · · Score: 0
