  1. No credibility... on How Pirated Software Impacts Free Software · · Score: 1

    The fact that the author has a girlfriend significantly undermines his credibility regarding technical matters :-)

  2. Biased and racist on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    It seems that the whole story is probably a rather biased account of what happened:
    1. As many have already noticed, the word "stolen" consistently appears on the page (URL, title, writing) but the Sidekick was actually LOST.
    2. We see a rather rude reply from the person that found it, but we do not know what preceded that. The author says that his friend "requested that the Sidekick be returned". Does not sound like she asked nicely -- you must ask nicely for a favor, even if you are a blonde white girl in Manhattan.
    3. The author is somewhat racist in his communication with the other party. "Let me tell you about a legal tenet called 'Caveat Emptor' it is Latin, it roughly translates to 'Let the buyer beware'" implies that Latinos know no Latin terms... Pardon the pun, I could not resist ;-)
    4. The story has factual inaccuracies. "My friend left her Sidekick II in a taxi inManhattan (where we live)" in the story and "On Jan 25th of this year, I moved to Miami, FL" in the "About Me" section are slightly different... By about 1,294 miles.
    5. The author spends an inordinate amounts of time and resources harrassing the people that found/bought the Sidekick. $300 are not worth it, unless you have no life.
  3. But why do you have to see the panties? on Fosfor Gadgets' Top 10 Weirdest Computer Case Mods · · Score: 1

    Well, DUH!

  4. Record SETTING Flight is more appropriate on GlobalFlyer Completes Record-Breaking Flight · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since he did not break any record.
