  1. Re:Firefox 9000 on Google Schedules Chrome 6, 7, and 8 For This Year · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm imagining a shutdown dialog that runs " I know that you are planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen. "

  2. Re:False on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    It's about the same as similar phones, if you strip off the carrier subsidisation. You end up over-paying for subsidisation, by the time your contract's finished anyway.

  3. Re:Will not be surprising on StarCraft II Cost $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Abandoned since when? They've recently introduced it to WOW, and added realid (hate it or not, it's a new feature). And yes, there are fake WOW servers, but who cares about them?

  4. Re:A workaround on Consumer Reports Can't Recommend iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    And you'd void the moisture warranty.

  5. Re:not a problem on The Verizon Wireless HTC Eris 'Silent Call Bug' · · Score: 1

    You're saying you own one, then?

  6. Re:iAD on What Developers Think About Apple's iAd · · Score: 1

    About as popular as the iUD

  7. Re:Fuck China on China Censors HIV/AIDS Awareness Documentary · · Score: 1

    I'm trying to think of one that doesn't.

  8. Re:Mind Block on Google Found Guilty of Australian Privacy Breach · · Score: 1

    Sigh. Any other Aussies here prefer that they *didn't* put high def street view on hold?

  9. Re:Hurry up and someone patent.... on Microsoft Applies For Page-Turn Animation Patent · · Score: 1

    Some people probably think you can spend debt...

  10. Re:Indiana Jones was directed by Spielberg on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    Have a Clayton's mod point funny from me.

  11. Re:1934 on AU Band Men At Work Owes Royalties On 'Kookaburra' · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately "artists" provide their own reasons for us to want them dead.. often: nagging about copyright.

    And others provide it by writing and singing.

  12. Re:Seriously? on UK Gov't Launches 'Your Freedom' Website To Seek Laws Worth Repealing · · Score: 1

    It'd be simpler (and a shorter list) to identify laws that should be kept.

  13. Re:What I'd Like to Know on EU Plans To Make Apple, Adobe and Others Open Up · · Score: 1

    Sorry about that post, I wasn't thinking clearly enough about how DRM relies on working (obfuscating or DMCAing the source of the DRM itself.)

  14. Re:cough on The Ignominious Fall of Dell · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It would be when it was last sold, not when it was released.

  15. Re:Good! on Unique ID In India Causes 'Fear of the Beast' · · Score: 1

    It's an improvement over being branded.

  16. Re:That's silly... on Unique ID In India Causes 'Fear of the Beast' · · Score: 1

    Given the context of the Antichrist story is the Bible the mark of the beast is probably not a number, or even a visible mark. Christ marked his followers by baptizing them..... the Antichrist would likely follow a similar ritual.

    I'm thinking 'golden shower'

  17. Re:What I'd Like to Know on EU Plans To Make Apple, Adobe and Others Open Up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And the DRM formats that iTunes supports? Are they open? (substitute Media player for iTunes if you wish)

  18. Re:Sounds familiar. on Mom Arrested After Son Makes Dry Ice "Bombs" · · Score: 1

    And it is working because it's a hell of a lot easier to win support when you are doing 'good' than it is when you are the person who advocates for personal freedom.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions. (pick your own value of hell, even if you are as me, an atheist or agnostic)

  19. Re:Not surprising on Microsoft Kills the Kin · · Score: 1

    What is the kin? I have never heard of it.

    Oh, wait. maybe that's the point.

    Mull of kin tired

    ... someone else can finish this. Advance apologies to Paul McCartney.

  20. Re:Annoying... on YouTube Gets a Vuvuzela Button (Seriously) · · Score: 1

    There are now rick-roll vuvuzela links.

    Next, I expect a "Downfall" parody serenaded with, yes, vuvuzelas. And, of course, a beowulf cluster of them.

  21. Re:*Grabs Popcorn* on Apple Sues HTC Again Over Patents · · Score: 1

    We predicted this. No doubt the extra patents relate to Apple's innovative use of multi-tasking.

  22. Re:Kudos on Video Games Linked To Reckless Driving · · Score: 1

    You can't fuck a car in public. Laws against sexing non-sex toys, would de facto ban most sex toys since they're labeled for "novelty use only".

    What happens after the novelty wears off? No, I don't think I really want that answered. Nor do I want to know whether the novelty gets deposited onto the surfaces it was used on.

  23. Re:Yay! on Starbucks Frees Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Hand on, what's in the middle if small isn't there? Does it go "large", "even larger", and "so fucking large it's unbelievable" or something retarded like that?

    No, but it goes to 11

  24. Re:I like the idea on Restaurant Tells Diners To Eat Everything On Their Plate · · Score: 1

    It'd go full circle, even if this idea caught on. Someone would (re)introduce potlatch restaurants. Because that's what a lot of them are today, all about conspicuous consumption, the epitome of waste.

  25. Re:Deja Vu on NZ Plan For Fiber To the Home · · Score: 1

    Nothing, really. Ignore the Telstra puppet. Quite a lot of us want the NBN to succeed, Telstra don't because it will make their copper network drop in value.
