  1. Re:Wait what? on Twitter Enables Archive Option · · Score: 1

    You could make your tweets private. It's a shit option, but at least there is one. Of course, there's no guarantee that making your tweets private actually keeps you out of the archive, but ostensibly it is possible.

  2. Re:Imprecise Language: Delete vs. Prevent Access on FBI Asked Megaupload To Preserve Pirated Files, Then Used Them Against Dotcom · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, Kim Dotcom would rather rely on a turn of phrase and imprecise language....

    So, kind of exactly like what the government does, then.

    Except wood.

  4. Re:False positives on Supreme Court Hearing Case On Drug-Sniffing Dog "Fishing Expeditions" · · Score: 1

    Allowing this BS to stand is effectively the same as allowing arbitrary search.

    Welcome to the War on Drugs.

    The whoosh is deafening.

    I know, I know. I was being generous.

    You forgot the part where you pay the record label 90% of that 10% that you distributed. And also the donation to the artist must be made by way of that same record label, because they know what they're doing.

  8. Re:Let me get my Roman gold coin hoard expert... on Man Finds Roman Gold Coin Hoard Worth £100,000 With Metal Detector · · Score: 1

    Well, I had really been hoping to get $160,000 for this... Ok, $10 it is.

    It is not like it is rocket science.

    No, but it is like rocket surgery.

  10. Re:it is so much more than that!! on Apple iPad 2 As Fast As the Cray-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    It has been demonstrated that the ipad 2 is lighter than an Apple II.

    Reminds me of an old-ish spoof of a 2005 iPod nano commercial, which spoof features the Macintosh Classic II.

    For some reason, I find this comic appropriate.

    Exactly. It's capitalization that makes the difference there.

    Oh, so it's that kind of death!

    Of course it doesn't help I was already dead twice back in 2007.

    Is this how you introduce yourself at parties?

    Sounds like something that could be straight out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

  21. Re:Is it just me on Is Siri Smarter Than Google? · · Score: 1

    DuckDuckGo seems to, in general, return better results than Google has for me for awhile now. To me it feels like using Google in the early 2000s, actually, clean and generally bullshit-free.

  22. Re:Giving them a name was the most important step on Is Siri Smarter Than Google? · · Score: 1

    The "task of actually creating them" might become trivial, but pronouncing "UIEA" as a word never will.

    Fixed that for myself.

    This is the United States. You're suggesting we talk things through? All we do here is shout and shout till the other person gives up or everyone ends up so angry that they fight each other.

  25. Re:Try reading the article on UK MPs Threaten New Laws If Google Won't Censor Search · · Score: 1

    [I]n the UK the courts are separate and distinct from the government.

    Then how are the courts funded? How are their orders enforced or, rather, by whom? I'm not trolling, and I'm sorry if I come off as if I were, but could you explain how UK courts are "separate and distinct"? Unless you meant that they're their own branch of government, separate and distinct from Parliament, in which case I wish to strike my first three sentences of this post from the record.
