  1. Apple Connection on Starbucks Drops T-Mobile For AT&T · · Score: 1

    Apple allows people to leach bandwidth at Starbucks for iTunes purchases.... Apple partnered with AT&T for their iPhone... Starbucks is now using AT&T as their wi-fi provider... hmm.... quite an interesting circle of coincidence!

  2. Re:Typical! on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: 1

    or "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze.

  3. They also disable text selection on Snopes Pushing Zango Adware · · Score: 5, Informative

    Talk about a user-unfriendly feature! They use some very annoying javascript to disable the ability to select a portion of text. No idea why...

  4. Re:Keep waiting on MacBook Air's Battery is Actually Easy to Replace · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've developed a three and a half inch portable. IN MY PANTS.

  5. Re:"Learning" to lie? on Robots Learn To Lie · · Score: 1

    As any programmer will tell you, a statement that is not true is false. "Lie" most certainly implies intent to deceive.

  6. Re:Who cares? They don't max out DOCSIS 1! on Comcast Promising Ultra-Fast Internet · · Score: 1

    But at those speeds, you'll get plenty of advertisements for ways to increase the size of your, um, hose.

    If it's running windows, the button that usually gets me frustrated is the Power On button.

  9. Mexicans on Gene Study Supports Single Bering Strait Migration · · Score: 2, Funny

    So does this mean that I really have Chinese people working on my lawn, not Mexicans?

    Hmmm... we might want to reconsider building that wall along the Mexican boarder. Didn't seem to work too well on the Mongolians.

    $3 pack of gum? Now who's the thief?

  11. Re:Donald Trump says China rigs the rules on China In the Habit of Copying and Redirecting US Sites? · · Score: 1

    "Aside from Tibet, how many countries has China invaded in the last 50 years?"
     
    That's like saying "Aside from his wife, how many women has OJ killed in the past 50 years?"

  12. Want to subvert the FBI? on FBI May Have Datamined Grocery Stores With Help From Credit Companies · · Score: 2, Funny

    Every once in a while, buy a little bit of ham.

  13. Re:Thank Big Tel/Cable on Netflix May Already Be Killing Blockbuster? · · Score: 1

    While that sounds crazy today, that's how much those movies cost the video stores back then.

    Back before DVDs, most movies were "priced for rental", and would cost the video stores between 50-125 each. Occasionally you'd see releases that were "Priced to Own", in the $25 - $35 range, but those were less common than the Priced to Own films.

    It's one of the reasons Blockbuster was able to drive the smaller stores (like the one i used to work at) out of business. They were able to buy the new releases at a much lower price because they purchased mass quantities for each of their hundreds of stores and got a significant price break, allowing them to have higher profit margins and larger selections. The smaller stores simply couldn't compete, and one by one went out of business.

  14. Re:Too bad apples lawyers do not understand Law. on Apple Makes $831 On Each AT&T iPhone · · Score: 1

    If they refuse to sell you something, then you don't have a debt, do you?

  15. Never install 10.x.1 on Apple Adds Memory Randomization To Leopard · · Score: 0, Troll

    I always wait until 10.x.3 before even considering installing a new 10.x

    Let some other sucker find out what programs don't work. By the time 10.5.3 comes out, most of the incompatibilites and bugs will be fixed.

    lemmie correct that for you:

    Power without ethics: US terrorism.

  18. Statute of Limitations on Bioethics Group Raises DNA Database Concerns · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about storing the DNA for the length of time equal to the statute of limitations for the crime they are being charged with? If they are not formally charged, then a two- to three- year period seems fair.

  19. Re:No legitimate way to watch NBCs content? on TV Torrents — When Piracy Is Easier Than Purchase · · Score: 1

    A life form that didn't self-propagate. I'm pretty sure he had parents. If self-propagation were possible, I'd have about 180 billion children by now.
