  1. Re:"republican" vs "democrat" on FCC Votes To Punish Comcast · · Score: 1

    Obama supports blanket immunity for telecoms, the democrats are pretty much wholly owned by the media and comms companies. Clinton brought us the DMCA and it's ridiculous measures.

    God fucking damnit I hate stupid dumbass Americans talking "political". Nothing but straw man attacks on the "other side" with no real acknowledgement that there is no "other side". The two parties of the two party system are WAY THE FUCK to the right of center, each are owned by the same corporate fucks.

    And you toads actually buy into this shit and spend all your time infighting.

    WELL HERES HOPING THOSE SCUMMY REPUB-LIE-CANTS DONT FUCK IT ALL UP M-I-RITE-GUYS !

    It was wrong and stupid to mod this down as a troll because the AC's point was quite apt. No one US political party has the moral high ground when it comes to wiping their asses on the Constitution, in telecommunications or any other field. They both use the same roll of parchment to eradicate the spinchter cling-ons, and the same group of plutocrats always seem to get paid no matter whether the paymaster has an R or a D by his name.

  2. Payphones? Redboxes? on Hardware Hacking Guide — Citizen Engineer · · Score: 5, Funny

    1981 called - it wants its meme back.

  3. Obligatory on Opening Quantum Computing To the Public · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Beowulf and nut cluster reference.

    You may now mod this post down into its quantum components.

  4. Yay Aping And Repetitiveness. on Bootleg Tron 2 Trailer Is Out In the Wild · · Score: 1

    When did it become a sin to try new concepts when you make a movie? Probably around the 44th remake of the Incredible Hulk.

  5. This Blogger Should Really Stick It To Comcast on Comcast Is Reading Your Blog · · Score: 1

    Cancel his account and get 56K dialup through another company. Yeah, that'd show 'em.

  6. Re:Ready-made searchable archive? on NASA Opens Space Image Library · · Score: 1

    At least they didn't make you go through an FTP site to get to them. After all, this is the US Government we're talking about here.

  8. Re:Call me old-fashioned on Ancient Italian Walls Repaired With Lego Bricks · · Score: 1

    I glowed with self-righteous self-satisfaction when Steven Spielberg digitally replaced the guns in the hands of the FBI agents in ET - The Extra-Terrestrial with walkie talkies.

    Now all we've left to do is edit all smoking out of movies and make it look like Greedo shot first. Then the world will be perfect.

    What do you think it takes to build a chocolate city, neh?

  10. Don't Hate The Game, Hate The Playa on Thirst For Coltan Fueling African Conflict · · Score: 1

    Whouldn't our attention and opprobrium be better focused on the incredibly evil and greedy men who are driving those poor Africans out at gunpoint to mine Coltan (or diamonds or chocolate or whatever the cause of the day might be), instead of the consumer electronics where the stuff allegedly ends up?

  11. Re:"Papers Please" on Craigslist Forced To Reveal a Seller's Identity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Apples and oranges. There's a vast difference between a private party such as the Academy Awards and a public venue like a movie theater. Movie theater managers in particular have the perfect right to refuse to sell a ticket to anyone (with the usual caveats about racial, religious or disability discrimination) if they want to. There's nothing Nazi-like about that - its an established right that any business owner has. All those signs that read "We have the right to refuse admission to anyone" aren't lying.

    Nobody here, not even Craigslist, is acting like Hitler or the Nazis so please refrain from the completely non-insightful (fuck you right up your ass with the fat end of an ungreased wine bottle, you moronic brain-dead moderators) "papers please" rhetoric. It really hurts your credibility.

    No FreshMeat for him.

  15. Re:What to do next? on Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison · · Score: 3, Informative

    The federal prison system doesn't offer parole. 21 months means (or meant) 21 months.

  16. Re:One for the Christmas List on Ultra-Light Micro Air Vehicles · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've got three, and one is faulty (it still flies but the motor or something is not smooth- blades stop spinning nearly immediately when you cut the throttle).

    That sure sounds like hair either wrapped around the rotor spindle or pressing between the spindle and the motor to me. Even one hair can slow down the blades and make the thing unflyable. I use a big magnifying glass and an X-Acto knife blade to clear any foreign matter out of this area.

  17. Re:not to worry on Researchers Face Jail Risk For Tor Snooping Study · · Score: 1

    They make it up on volume.

  18. Re:Huh? on Video Game Labeling Law Passed In New York · · Score: 1

    Attitude is everything. If you're old, wear an American Legion hat, and pop a smart military-style salute as you pour the lighter fluid on Old Glory, then its OK. Conversely, if you're young, wear a Che Guevara T-shirt, and do the one-finger salute with a sneer on your face as you PTLFOOG, then you're a criminal.

    But both sides can find common ground at the flag-burning afterparty as they share a light snack. Food and drink spills are easily remedied with the omnipresent napkins with the US flag printed on them that were on sale at Wal Mart.
