  1. I hope he gets sued by the RIAA on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    That would be hilarious.

  2. Re:Yep. on Calif. Politican Thinks Blurred Online Maps Would Deter Terrorists · · Score: 1

    And the terrorists can't read them because their language consists of just "durka durka"

  3. Canadian voting system on Diebold Election Audit Logs Defective · · Score: 1

    Yes we have about 1/10th the US population but even a Federal election using 100% paper ballots AFAIK is completely counted by the end of the night. Voting ends around 9 PM and by about 12AM pretty much everything is counted and we know who won. I don't understand how the USA is so screwed up that it can't even get a ballot count done properly.

  4. Canada requires it on Diebold Election Audit Logs Defective · · Score: 1

    I've had to show my driver's license each time I've voted for both Federal and Provincial elections here in Canada. I don't know what they do if you don't have some government ID though.

  5. Re:Add USB + WIFI or Powerline and... on $100 Linux Wall-Wart Now Available · · Score: 1

    Sweet, now we can see naked women!!

  6. Re:Removes existing installations on Safari 4 Released, Claimed "30 Times Faster Than IE7" · · Score: 1

    If you download the Webkit nightlies, the webkit framework is included in the webkit application bundle. Apple could easily do this as well for the 4.0 beta.

  7. Re:Removes existing installations on Safari 4 Released, Claimed "30 Times Faster Than IE7" · · Score: 1

    Yeah it's so hard to find Safari 3, except for the link labeled "Looking for Safari 3? Download here" right on the Safari download page here http://www.apple.com/safari/download/

  8. Uh yes you do on Safari 4 Released, Claimed "30 Times Faster Than IE7" · · Score: 1

    If you look at the source code already linked to, you can see for yourself. Webkit source code is always ahead of the official release that comes with Safari. Safari != Webkit either. The download of Webkit basically comes with a Safari like interface but it not Safari.

    Are you suggesting Apple uses some magical build that is not related at all to the publicly available Webkit source? Because if you do then you're pretty ignorant on that topic.

  9. Re:Safari 4 actually has SLOWER JavaScript... on Safari 4 Released, Claimed "30 Times Faster Than IE7" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the most retarded thing I've heard all week.

  10. Re:"Allowing Criminals" on European Crackdown On Skype "Loophole" · · Score: 1

    I am a student pilot, but not of jumbo jets. Taking off is easy, landing is hard.

  11. Re:IRC? on Music-Swapping Sites To Be Blocked By Irish ISPs · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah because no one has ever heard of IRC

  12. Re:barrel roll on The Flying Giant Is 40 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Well they may not be approved for aerobatics but I don't think the 747 uses gravity fed engines. That is one of the reasons you can't roll many high wing aircraft which is because the fuel is gravity fed into the engines. The 747 is pretty capable of doing some aerobatic moves because the wings and body are ridiculously strong.

  13. iPhone push gmail? on Microsoft Agrees To License ActiveSync To Google · · Score: 1

    Maybe we can have gmail push email to the iPhone now just like it does with Exchange.

  14. Don't have to wait long on The Incredible Shrinking Operating System · · Score: 1

    Snow Leopard is already known to be coming with slimmed down applications http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2008/06/29/solving-the-mystery-of-snow-leopards-shrinking-apps/

  15. Not failing business model on Psystar Wins a Round Against Apple · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apple's business model is hardly failing. They're doing incredibly well in fact. Trying to force them to sell their product to work on every generic PC is what is going to cause them to fail.

  16. Re:And what exactly on Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed · · Score: 1

    This Anonymous Coward guy is a whack job

  17. Re:Childish on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    Japan was in peace talks with the USA before they attacked Pearl Harbour. But it was just a rouse by the Japanese to trick the USA.

  18. This is a non issue on Apple's Terms No Longer Allow ITMS Purchases Outside of US · · Score: 1

    This has been in the TOS for a very long time and they don't enforce it. Many Canadians were buying US iTMS gift cards and using them with a US account before Apple put movies and TV shows on the Canadian store.

  19. Re:So is their price going up? on All Korea To Have 1Gbps Broadband By 2012? · · Score: 1

    "I am not looking forward to going back to Canada.:("

    But... we have Bell Sympatico with blazing 6Mbps speed and a 60 GB cap all the while being throttled on p2p!!!! Oh and if that's not good enough, you can go with Rogers and get a huge 100GB cap!

  20. Re:Well that... on Cox Communications and "Congestion Management" · · Score: 1

    Good luck with that

  21. Re:OOOK on Global Warming Irreversible, NOAA Scientist Finds · · Score: 1

    They can't even predict the weather accurately 2 days from now. I don't hold hope that they somehow know what's going to happen in 1000 years.

  22. No it's not. on Apple Awarded Patent For iPhone Interface · · Score: 1

    That was at a rest stop and it used old CRT monitors with a touch screen capability. There was no multi touch capability just single touch to select items/buttons. Apple patented multi touch which is using multiple fingers to do things such as the pinch gesture to scale images on the phone etc.

  23. Stupid argument on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why do you think every single H1-B holder is some loser without anyone to care for and has no obligations except to themselves? How do you know if they have family back home they're sending money to? Seriously that's a stupid argument and you're assuming some foreigner is working for less money than a native. From my experience the foreigner will make the same as a native at a company like MS.

  24. Re:...because H1Bs are forms, not people on Senator Prods Microsoft On H-1B Visas After Layoff Plans · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's that exact selfish attitude that will downfall the USA if it's taken too far. The world is a global economy and focusing just solely on your own country will hurt other countries in the short term and in the long term also hurt the USA>

  25. Re:So much for not sacrificing ideals for safety. on Obama Sides With Bush In Spy Case · · Score: 1

    Why the bloody fuck should you have to even think about how much it will cost you to have your baby delivered at a hospital? There's something wrong with that.
