  1. Re:This is important on Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly · · Score: 1

    3 & BBC SF generally.

  2. Re:Nope on The Death of BCC · · Score: 1

    Yes. But the way you put that made me think of a geek's "Dr Livingston" moment.

  3. Re:Nope on The Death of BCC · · Score: 1

    Geeks use standalone GUI ftp clients, whereas alpha geeks use the command line one.

  4. Re:Nope on Police Chief Teaches Parents To Keylog Kids · · Score: 1

    That's not implicit in the statement at all. I think you just want it to be asinine nonsense.

  5. Re:Hogwash! Kids don't have the rights on Police Chief Teaches Parents To Keylog Kids · · Score: 1

    Hopefully they learn how to circumvent keylogging devices and software. It'll stand them in good stead for later in life with their employers. :^)

  6. Re:This is why I don't use facebook on Employer Demands Facebook Login From Job Applicants · · Score: 1

    2. You will not create more than one personal profile and one dummy 'business' profile.

    Fire it into the sun.

    Wuss. *Real* engineers would use 240VAC. Or run it across 2 phases for 415VAC :^)

  9. Re:There are many reasons to beware of Facebook. on Libya Warns Against Use of Facebook · · Score: 1

    That's assuming that you think an effective (and scary) secret police relies on technology.

  10. Re:If they're so profitable on Valve Beats Google, Apple For Profits Per Employee · · Score: 1

    tirany: The increasing resemblance between Balmer and Michelin Man.

  11. Re:Sadly, we know what happened. on Geekiest Marriage Proposals Ever · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else think the Google valentines logo the tackiest ever?

  12. Re:Worse is on Court Says California Stores Can't Ask Customers For ZIP Codes · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute: They check your zip before you put the fuel in your car? Here (Australia) the order goes - drive up, put the fuel in car (yourself) walk to the cashier and pay with CC. It's wise to carry more than one in case the first CC doesn't work :)

  13. Re:No one's saying it isn't on Tech-Unfriendly Cafes Say No Kindles Allowed · · Score: 1

    If I keep ordering coffee/food whilst reading, the taking up space argument shouldn't count.

  14. Re:No one's saying it isn't on Tech-Unfriendly Cafes Say No Kindles Allowed · · Score: 1

    Within limits. For instance, if they banned citizens by race, or religion, I suspect they'd get into trouble. If they decided they wanted to ban soy latte caffeine free drinking pretentionists, they'd probably get away with it. I like reading ebooks in cafes, but I could live without doing it, provided they banned cell-phones, children and loud people as well. :) (aim for a noise level slightly above a library)

  15. It can track my vertical movements? on Gov App Detects Potholes As Your Drive Over Them · · Score: 1

    So all it needs to do is to correlate position of two[1] GPS that are extremely close, and one (or more) is doing up and down movements? [1] ok, more, if you want to locate an orgy. Software patent for new application, anyone?

  16. Re:Ballmer's Gonna Blow an O-Ring on HP Unveils WebOS Tablet, Plans WebOS Computer · · Score: 1

    Ballmer is shitting perfect, white-hot cubes about this.

    Chair-shaped cubes. Freshly dried and ready to throw.

  18. Re:hack on HBGary Federal Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    It's a racial slur? Really? Against who?

    Someone calls me a cracker, I'd tell them to laugh it up, and oh, by the way, none of your plastic will work tomorrow...

  19. Re:wtf on Android Tablets Were Born Too Soon · · Score: 1

    Well, Apple had the balls to call what they had released a finished product. If you can show me an internet that doesn't point to various flaws that the iPad has, then I'll show you a remarkably filtered search query.

  20. Re:Wow on Bill Gates Says Anti-Vaccine Effort Kills Children · · Score: 1

    One of the anti-vaccine idiots even had the balls to say that it was up to the scientific community to disprove that vaccines are dangerous.

    And the precautionary principle strikes again.

  21. Re:Hmmm ... on Sarah Palin Seeks To Trademark Her Name · · Score: 1

    Isn't that a derivative trademark, though?

  22. Re:Seriously? on Google's Search Copying Accusation Called 'Silly' · · Score: 1
