  1. Nope on Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy S II · · Score: 0

    This isn't the Tablet I am looking for.
    Supposedly the `market' can do better.
    How come it's not doing so?

  2. Re:A Clockwork Orange on Using Classical Music As a Form of Social Control · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Chavs yes, the rest of the youth not so much.

  3. Re:REGULATORS! on Rudolph the Cadmium-Nosed Reindeer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe if imports were actually inspected at the Border of the USA this crap would not happen. Very little of what is imported is inspected or even properly taxed.

  4. Par for the course. on UK Authorities Ban 'Lonely' People From Working With Children · · Score: 1

    If you want to impose anything that has no logic to it or infringes basic human rights all you have to do is claim it is "for the children" and you get a free pass.

  5. It's their idea of "net neutrality" on AT&T Blocks Part of 4chan · · Score: 1

    I will be making a stink about this to the FCC and my Idiot US Senators today.

  6. Re:4chan Down on AT&T Blocks Part of 4chan · · Score: 2, Interesting

    LOL

    Knuckleheads DDoS 4chan.
    AT&T reacts with blocking /b/ and /r9k/.
    AT&T removes block.
    Some other knuckleheads launch a new bigger attack across all of 4chan.
    Blame goes to AT&T.
    Knuckleheads sit back and watch.
    Priceless.

  7. Re:Comments on DOSBox Sees Continued Success · · Score: 0, Troll

    I see none of that. All I have is a hosts file. All that other crap is un-needed.

    Please put the comment count back.

  8. They have an option. on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    They have to option of just refusing to take these jobs just like you and I do.

    The Lawyers guild is now in complete control of the USA.

    I would not piss on a lawyer if he was on fire. Sorry to Ray about that but that is how I feel.

    Looks like we are destined to live in interesting times.

  9. TW flat ass sucks. on Time Warner To Offer Unlimited Bandwidth For $150 · · Score: 1

    I am paying 65 per month right now. I have RR through Brighthouse Networks. I have yet to see the 15 Mbt down two Mbt up. I am paying for. But I DL LOTS of Anime I can see going over 40 gigs a month easily I don't pirate movies or music just current season Anime fansubs.

    TW sucks and I would love to see them go down. I hope Brighthouse tells them to FO.

  10. Re:If only on Google Bans Tethering App From Android Market · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The reason I don't use my cellphone for "internet" and email is because AT&T wants to rape me economically if I choose to do so. All this crap is useless if I have to pay 50 cents a min for it. Until AT&T loses the put a meter on it mentality I never will.

  11. Informative on US Supreme Court Allows Sonar Use · · Score: 1

    Very informative. Thanks for sharing your real world knowledge.

  12. Low income. on Why Netbooks Will Soon Cost $99 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You are so right.

    Where I live 50,000 a year plus benefits is not low income it's middle class.

    I barely use my current cellphone and I would be getting a cut in Internet speed and bandwidth cap if I switched to a wireless account.

  13. No addresses in Japan. on Google's Streetview Seen As Culturally Insensitive In Japan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For a country like Japan that doesn't use "addresses" Streetview is a god send.

  14. might be someting else on In Japan, a 900 Gigabyte Upload Cap, Downloads Uncapped · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Could the ISPs be telling the content providers to go jump in the lake?

  15. Faxed both Senators and My Representative on H.R. 4279 Would Establish Federal IP Cops · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I faxed Boxer and Feinstein but they are in the bag on PRO IP act. I am really pissed at my Republican Representative. Less government and laws not more. I am sick to death of Corporations getting away with murder and government getting bigger and more intrusive every day. I say we throw them all out and start over from scratch. I don't know how we organize this but we need a Senate full of non lawyers that don't owe anyone a thing. I know that HR 4279 just cost my Representative my vote and I told them so via a phone call separate from my FAX.

  16. Re:quickboot on PRO-IP Act Passes Judiciary Committee · · Score: 1

    Hear, hear.

  17. Science of Political Agenda? on How To Communicate Science to a Polarized US Audience · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Science needs to talk about science and not political agendas.

  18. More on the Lawyer war on Leaked RIAA Training Video · · Score: -1, Troll

    One more attack by the Lawyers on the rest of society. It's them against us and they write all the law and sit in judgment on those laws. The end result is less and less liberty and justice. If you even speak out against them you are branded a terrorist by their filthy guild.

  19. Re:Look at their "Careers" on Patent Troll Attacks Cable, Digital TV Standards · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We have so much "law" and lawyering that no one can get justice . We are living in a world where it is increasingly for the lawyers and by the lawyers and anyone else is screwed. I always ask these simple question how many living wage jobs have lawyers created? How many technological and scientific breakthroughs have lawyers contributed to the world? A world with few lawyers and their self serving laws would be a much better world.

  20. Re:It's Customs, Not TSA on Examining the Search and Seizure of Electronics at Airports · · Score: 1

    Comment after comment made in total ignorance of this fact. That concerns me more than the invasions of privacy at the border.

  21. Canada on Examining the Search and Seizure of Electronics at Airports · · Score: 0, Troll

    Remember Canada kicked the US's ass once already. I don't think the US will try the invasion thing again. Having Washington D.C. burnt to the ground once is enough. It's cheaper to just buy your stuff so you can take your tinfoil hat off now.

  22. Parent is right, FOIS where? on Comcast's New Terms of Service Disclose Traffic Management · · Score: 1

    Where is FOIS? It sure as hell isn't here.

  23. DHT on Courts Force Danish ISP to Block Torrent Tracker · · Score: 1

    DHT was the first thing I thought of. I don't even use TPB but I torrent lots of Anime. DHT works well.

  24. Re:The people being wiretapped weren't billed. on FBI Wiretaps Canceled for Non-Payment · · Score: 1

    Sounds like wiretaps are big business, No wonder AT&T bends over backwards to give up access to our communications without a warrant. It's also sounds as if the Government ( the taxpayer) is getting ripped off.

  25. Re:Target audience on Linux-Based PMP Features Head-Up Display · · Score: 1

    I can't see anything that close, I have artificial lenses in both eyes. These devices would be fantastic but to me they are useless.
