  1. possible mistake on Dropbox Attempts To Kill Open Source Project · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    Update: I want clear up a few things. As far as I’m aware all of the Dropship repositories and archives that were taken down was done so voluntarily. Dropbox never made threats, legal or otherwise. It appears the DMCA notice was automatically sent to me when the file was banned from public sharing. There was no real DMCA takedown issued. It was an edge case bug in their file removal system.

    So, still stupid, but at least there's the possibility that it wasn't malice.

    I am *so* pirating this quote for my sig!

  3. Re:Sickening! on BBC To Dispose of Douglas Adams Website · · Score: 1

    Sounds like maybe they should just auction it? Then they'll (hopefully) get the maximum the market will bear for it.

  4. Re:come on people... on High-Tech Microphone Picks Voices From a Crowd · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...and it you *actually* read the fscking article you'd see they also said 315. Good work chief.

  5. come on people... on High-Tech Microphone Picks Voices From a Crowd · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...is it 315 or 325? Sheesh.

  6. Re:University of Wisconsin on Medical Students Open To Learning With Video Games · · Score: 1

    Nobody says 'University of Minnesota-Twin Cities'

    They do if they went to the University of Minnesota-Morris. ;)

  7. SURVEY SAYS?? ...Meh. on Google Kills Wave Development · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...and nothing of value was lost.

  8. Re:Doctoring isn't life and death on Women Dropping Out of IT · · Score: 1
    ...then you are VERY VERY VERY lucky sir or madam! Congratulations on that.

    Most (not all mind you, but most) medical professionals in my experience treat their patients as a means to an end at best, or like meat on the conveyor belt at worst. I won't go to a doctor unless I have absolutely no other choice.

  9. Re:Oh really? Then... on Wikipedia To Unlock Frequently Vandalized Pages · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Begging the question: Was he spying?

    So let's change it to

    The Taleban put a 7 year old to death for allegedly spying.

  10. Re:Makes sense on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    LOL! I think I better take that deal. I've met *way* too many psychologists whose biggest client was themselves.

  11. Re:EOL XP already... on The Man At Microsoft Charged With Destroying IE6 · · Score: 1

    +1 insightful! You will have to drag me kicking and screaming from my XP installs for this exact reason; and then it's on to Ubuntu. No question.

  12. Re:1984 on Texas Schools Board Rewriting US History · · Score: 1

    Wait, in what way is what they're doing ironic?

  13. Re:Let it die. on The Music Industry's Crisis Writ Large · · Score: 2

    ...you will be paying $6000 for an entry level Shure or Newmann, if sound quality is valued.

    Ahem. Please to observe the industry-standard Shure SM58, used in studios and stages around the nation and around the world... $99.

  14. Re:OOh on Windows 7 Clean Install Only In Europe · · Score: 1

    +1 for smart. I used to reinstall 2-3 times a year until I just got lazy and now it's maybe every other year or so...

  15. Re:You are wrong. on The "Hidden" Cost Of Privacy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Still, the said officials can retain the full privacy of everything that isn't directly work related (IE. What they do on their time off work, what they do during their lunch breaks, whose photo they have in their wallet and what bodyparts have they pierced...)

    but but but!... If public servants' privacy off-hours is strictly defended (and I'm not saying it shouldn't be), how does the public keep politicians from using their 'private' time to cut back-room deals on public legislation? Just trust their say-so on the matter?

  16. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 4, Funny

    AT&T has a profit margin of 10%. If you think that is insanely high... I'd rather not be in business with you.

  17. Re:Reminds me... on Shuttle and Hubble Passing In Front of the Sun · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow. I have mod points but without a "-1 flat-out-wrong" option it just doesn't seem worth it.

  18. Re:Lies, damn lies. on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    By all means, but what happens if you're a non-profit or your company is too small to be able to afford Iron Mountain (or whoever)?

  19. freudian slip? on Star Trek Sequel Already Planned · · Score: 2, Funny

    I read the title as "Star Trek Sequel Already Panned".

  20. Re:Obvious user question on Google's Amazing Browser Experiments · · Score: 1

    One IT person for every 10 proper workers - that can't be right. :p

    HAHAHA that's hilarious. At my old job we were 7 techs for 900 users. Do that math.

  21. Re:DNA got there first on DB Query Becomes Browseable In Virtual World · · Score: 1

    when marketing demands {*anything at all*}, tell them to go fornicate off.

    Yeah right. Sounds like a fast way to get "rightsized" where I work.

  22. SANDBOXIE on Windows Security and On-line Training Courses? · · Score: 1

    YES. A thousand times yes. I did go buy myself a copy after that podcast (ep #172, here) and I don't know how I survived without it. It's entirely usable right out of the box but with a little configuring you can make it do just about anything you need, without the overhead of running a whole separate VM.

  23. Re:Facebook are a bit too much talk, not enough wa on Facebook Nearly Added Twitter To Friends List · · Score: 3, Funny

    that's funny, I haven't locked a door in years.
