  1. entitlement-business model on Cisco's New Router — Trouble For Hollywood · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The hard fact is that the latest developments at Cisco, Google and elsewhere may do more than kill the DVD and CD and further upset entertainment-business models"

    I read that as entitlement-business model the first time. Made more sense.

  2. Re:Hmm... on FCC Asks You To Test Your Broadband Speeds · · Score: 1

    "Anyways, it's hard to imagine they won't be discarding outliers, and (regardless of intentions) your dishonest result will be an outlier."

    I would be expecting the ISPs to be stuffing the ballot box, so dishonest results won't be outliers.

    I would call him a douchebag, except for the fact that it would be an insult to douchebags.

    "Actually, I have found that Cat5 provides just as many options as cat5"

    I find it top be more a case of 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

  7. Re:Try to give them help and this is what they get on Radio Hams Fired Upon In Haiti · · Score: 3, Funny

    What looks more ignorant? A compound sentence or a common (but annoying) typographical error?

  8. Re:Level playing field on US Blocking Costa Rican Sugar Trade To Force IP Laws · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Why these trade rules aren't being used to enforce environmental agreements and not IP ones is somewhat beyond me."

    Because the US doesn't want to upgrade to Costa Rican environmental standards.

  9. Re:Related question on Truth Or Dare — What Is the Best US Cell Company? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been using these guys for about 4 years and had good service. Their O2 service uses the ATT network and you can use your GSM phone if it operates on the US frequencies.

    Like an aids infested prostitute.

  15. There are other OS's on Apple Seeks Patent On Operating System Advertising · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Without collusion that would drive buyers to other OSs.

    Not even MS would do something that doucebaggery on their own

  16. Re:Austrian Economics, anyone? on Incorporating Human Behavior Into Wall Street Mathematical Models · · Score: 1

    "The study of economics can therefore be viewed as a study of groups of self-interested participants working for their own betterment."

    That could also describe a study of crime families and drug gangs.

  17. Re:unforseen consequences on Pain-Free Animals Could Take Suffering Out of Farming · · Score: 2, Funny

    One of the main reasons I use OO now is the ribbon on Orifice 2007.

    I like OO file compatibility with MS Orifice, but please don't copy their ribbon user interface.

    "Where I used to work, we worked on a "Point System" where 1 Point was equal to about 1 Programmer-Day, and 8 Points were equal to 8 Programmer Days."
