  1. Re:Limewire??? on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    Because you think that the entire world is America, er, Britain.

  2. Re:Why on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    You can hear it in their voice from the first second. Limewire is popular with cocky bastards who will steal as much stuff as they can get their hands on.

    Thoughtful pirates aren't often using Limewire.

  3. Re:Why on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    I sought taste. I traveled far and wide. I cast my eyes upon Baroque. I sailed upon the smooth seas of Jazz Fusion. I banged my head to Queen. I horrified my parentage with Eminem.

    And then I realized this: all is vanity.

    And I listened to Pink Floyd.

  4. Re:Why on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    New music is being recorded digitally, then DACced and pressed to vinyl. It's the hip thing to do.

  5. Re:Why on LimeWire Lives Again · · Score: 1

    Not at all. "taste" is the ability to tell which things are better than others, with a subjective "class" test. James Bond has good taste.

    Music that is in good taste will almost certainly have at least a small cult following. If you are the only person that has heard of them, I have bad news for you.

    Wrong. Usenet is still used for file sha... Wait, that's supposed to be a secret. Move along.

  7. Amazon has that last 1% on Rackspace vs. Amazon — the Cloud Wars · · Score: 1

    The difference between a great idea and a billion dollars is that last 1% of the implementation - the distance between "cool" and "perfect".

    I think Amazon may have bridged that gap.

  8. Just waiting... on Pee On Your Phone STD Test · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many minutes into release day before someone doesn't read the instructions and just PEES ON THEIR PHONE.

  9. Competition is good. on NVIDIA's New Flagship GeForce GTX 580 Tested · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am very glad to see the performance crown handed back and forth.

    Now if only this was happening in the CPU market...

  10. Re:Ah yes, I see this all the time at work... on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 1

    It's worse. Nobody thinks the elevator doors closed because they hit the Close Door button seven months ago.

  11. Re:The summary is the entire article! on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 1

    Sounds like perfection to me.

  12. The bad news about internet crime on Zeus Attackers Turned the Tables On Researchers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The bad news about botnet operators, malware authors, and other black hats: they aren't stupid.

  13. Results don't support conclusion on 5 Years of Linux Kernel Releases Benchmarked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems almost every benchmark that had any difference was slower in more modern kernels. It's not all sunshine and roses.

  14. Re:Doesn't matter what he did on The Science of Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The series ran until the story ended, then it ended. May god grant that happens more often.

  15. I'm not as bothered as I should be on Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Kill Switch · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Buying a mobile phone is already such an exercise in trust, I have a hard time worrying about a remote app kill switch.

  16. Re:Proactive virus and bot protection on Microsoft Outlines Windows Phone 7 Kill Switch · · Score: 2, Funny

    How sad that the phone is so insecure that malicious code could run.

    Everything can run malic... wait...

    Oh, OK. Trolling. Carry on then.

  17. Re:Politics sucks, but on 2010 Election Results Are In · · Score: 1

    Yep. Nothing will stop truly evil people.

  18. Re:Politics sucks, but on 2010 Election Results Are In · · Score: 1

    Yes. Some good things, some bad things.

  19. Politics sucks, but on 2010 Election Results Are In · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A divided congress is probably a good thing for people who don't like random horseshit one-sided laws.

  20. Re:why not both? on Looking To Better Engines Instead of Electric Vehicles · · Score: 1

    Jesus. *what* 2.7 tonne diesel 4wd?

  21. Re:Smart Move? on Google Sues US Gov't For Only Considering Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Mod up. Painfully correct.

  22. This hole is a good thing on Kindle Allowing Chinese Unfettered Access To Web · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...So don't make a bloody article about it, ya bastards!

  23. Re:Article title is misleading... on 33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org · · Score: 1

    I'd fire you right now for such a statement.

    Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pathologically-ham-fisted-manager. Stay awhile. A little diversity is good for the community!

    That is why Star Bucks only has ONE flavor of coffee

    Ya can't mix sarcasm with gospel truth, mate. It confuses people.

    Ok, give me the hard numbers on

    Stop. Remember you're having a conversation, not a rigorous debate.

    OK, continue.
