  1. Figures... on Church of Scientology Proposes Net Censorship In Australia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Scientologists have never been too fond of freedom of speech. Hurts their profit margins.

  2. Re:Patents on Ubisoft Working On a New Anti-Piracy Tool · · Score: 1

    Exactly how does this make reading a game from an SD card illegal?

  3. Re:Levels of importance on Best Home Backup Strategy Now? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call my personal files (pictures of my family and so forth) "less options for entertainment", so you better squeeze in another category there.

  4. Oaaaaah! on Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska · · Score: 1

    Something escaped the dangerous kitchen!

  5. Re:Microsoft feeling the pinch on Microsoft Readies a Rival To Spotify · · Score: 1

    Bear in mind that spotify is almost alone in this so far. I don't really think the music industry has understood that much, since they keep insisting on suing their own customers.

  6. Re:Had this for decades... on Microsoft Readies a Rival To Spotify · · Score: 1

    That's not a bug. That's definitely a feature.

  7. Re:Is it just me? on Microsoft Readies a Rival To Spotify · · Score: 1

    I get the impression that someone actually DID that.

  8. Re:goodbye to the small Internet radio station? on Experimental Fees Settle Royalty War For Internet Radio · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the EU is also in the pockets of Big Media (tm)

  9. Re:Whatever the outcome on Jammie Thomas Moves To Strike RIAA $1.92M Verdict · · Score: 1

    Obviously, you've never heard what happened in the Pirate Bay case in Sweden (which most people know is part of Europe).

  10. Oblig. SamSam on Phoenix Lander Discovers Nighttime Snowfall On Mars · · Score: 1

    Phoenix Lander Discoverth Green Thnowfall On Marth

  11. Pictures speak for themselves on RC Submarine Lays Fiber Through Sewers In Italy · · Score: 1

    Obviously, since many of the pictures (on the rest of the page) contain pretty girls :)

  12. In the immortal words of Ed Harris on NASA Responds To MMO Concerns · · Score: 1

    "Someone please tell me this isn't a government operation."

  13. Re:Matter of culture on Chinese Blogs, Netizens React To the Tibet Issue · · Score: 1

    Difference:
    1) The USA is ONE country.
    2) Europe is NOT one country.

  14. Re:History on Chinese Blogs, Netizens React To the Tibet Issue · · Score: 1

    A lot of Americans were either ambivalent or against the war

    Really? But it seems most of you were for it, since the abomination in charge was elected once more.

  15. Re:Anthropologists As Well As Zoologists on Nuked Coral Reef Bounces Back · · Score: 1

    I wish I could mod you higher than score 5, Insightful.

  16. Quick, attack before the terrorists win!! on Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Obviously the people owning apartment buildings are hoping to develop Weapons of Mass Destruction (TM). The US government better take steps to invade them before they threaten the American Way of Life (TM).

  17. Re:An enlisted perspective. on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 1

    The problem with Iraq is that we think that we can enforce democracy on a country that simply isn't interested in it

    I think the problem is reverse. I think they really are interested in democracy. The problem is that the current foreign occupier is not. They are probably just as interested in democracy as the people of Iran were before the Shah.

  18. Re:Honest question on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 1

    Well, for one thing, Iraq wanted to begin trading oil in euros instead of dollars.

  19. Shifting the blame on How Tech Almost Lost the War · · Score: 1, Insightful

    No.

    This war was started and is fueled by American politics. Don't try to shift the blame to the geeks. I and many of my friends are geeks, and none of us are residents of the USA.

    Place the blame where it's due: The administration of the USA.

  20. MOD PARENT UP on Chinese Sub Pops Up Amid US Navy Exercise · · Score: 1

    This guy knows what it's all about.

  21. Re:I hope they don't on Why ISS Computers Failed · · Score: 1

    I personally think you'd be hard pressed to find any off-the-shelf space gear.

    Jokes aside though, I think you're basically right. For those that think the russian-made stuff is inferior, I ask you to consider who it was that kept a space station in orbit the longest.

  22. Re:Fanboy Bullshit at it's Finest. on Microsoft Flip-Flops On URI Protocol Handing Flaw · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is doing something right

    Unfortunately, the thing they're doing right is wrong (they're a monopoly, remember?)

  23. Re:Then watch *these* cops taser *this* guy to dea on Stalling Cars Via OnStar · · Score: 1

    I wish I could mod you 6, Insightful.

  24. Re:He should check his kids pcs on White House Lauds MN RIAA Win, Analysis of Victory · · Score: 1

    The time that justice was blind is behind us.

    Which time would that be?

  25. Re:Economic and philosophical... on Science In Islamic Countries · · Score: 1

    By this logic, wouldn't Norway be lacking in scientific discoveries aswell (they produce a lot of oil too, you know)?
