  1. Re:This is why I will never trust cloud services on IT Pros Can't Resist Peeking At Privileged Info · · Score: 1

    most of my salary comes from small business research grants. ... I'm not the salesman, because I can't tell people they need something when they don't.

    Uh, your grant applications are giant sales pitches. They're telling people they need something when they don't.

  2. Re:Oh, come on. on iPad Is a "Huge Step Backward" · · Score: 1

    It's locked down??

    ;-)

  3. But... on China Denies Role In US Grid Hacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    Didn't Jack Bauer take care of this two seasons ago?

  4. Give Canadians the Services... on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are many entertainment services available to the US that aren't available in Canada. For instance, iTunes movie rentals, online network TV episode viewing, etc., Pandora's box (hehehe) are not available in Canada. If the US companies could get their sh!t together and figure out how to sell these services to Canadians, perhaps Canadians wouldn't have to seek entertainment fulfillment through other channels.

  5. Get them free... on Wal-Mart's $200 Linux PC Sells Out · · Score: 1
    Watch curbsides for these, as once people run into a little difficulty with them, they'll be thrown in the trash. That's a win for us garbage-pickers!

  6. Oil Companies... on X Prize For a 100-MPG Car · · Score: 1
    Is the X-Prize by any chance sponsored by big oil? It would be great if they can patent the winning invention and sit on it as the world burns.

  7. Biased... on Is Daylight Saving Shift Really Worth It? · · Score: 1
    Asking this question just after millions of people have had to get out of bed and be fully functional one hour earlier than usual is going to give you a whole lotta no answers!

    Try asking this in a couple weeks...

  8. Amp Stack... on Sun Offering Optimized AMP Stack On Solaris · · Score: 1

    I used to rock out with my all-tube bass setu--oh...I thought you said Sunn amp stack...

  9. Captain, on How Do You Handle Your Enterprise Documentation? · · Score: 1

    what is this... earth documentation?

  10. Boarder... on The Long Arm of Microsoft · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What's a "political boarder?" Is it, like, someone who stays at the White House and gets fed and a place to sleep?

  11. Empty Promise? on A Concrete Solution To Pollution · · Score: 1

    Does the process of manufacturing the compound cause more pollution than it will reduce once incorporated into buildings?

  12. Re:Do you have to install this? on Highlighting HL2 Episode One's Commentary Track · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Not only do they take up the disk space, they also take memory, and I'll bet contribute to the already-horrible load times of the HL2 games.

  13. Re:hell yeah on SanDisk MP3 Players Seized in MP3 Licence Dispute · · Score: 1

    Please leave your Sandisk MP3 player at the teacher's desk on your way to the principal's office!

  16. Really? on Iron Heroes: A low magic tabletop game · · Score: 1, Funny

    Sorry, did you say "gritty action" and "D&D" in the same breath? Chris

  19. Rented or owned? on A Workable Downloadable Movies Business Model? · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    I personally don't understand why anyone buys movies for $17 when you can rent them for $3. Do movie buyers actually watch them more than once? I wouldn't pay $8 for a movie download; the maximum I'd pay is the cost of a rental, but I'd want it when I want it.

  20. Self-employed... on Promoting Telecommuting During the Gas Dearth? · · Score: 1

    Being self-employed combined with the fact that my shopping cart uses no fuel whatsoever, I'm not affected -- although, the stuff in dumpsters is looking more like actual trash these days.

  21. Phil Katz... on New Winzip in the Works · · Score: 1

    PKZip anyone? You don't need anything else! Chris
