  1. Re:Quick Summary on The Myth of Renewable Energy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    No need to kill anyone. Limit reproduction and the problem is solved in just a few decades.

  2. Re:INEVITABLE MERGER on AT&T/T-Mobile Merger 'Not In the Public Interest' · · Score: 1

    Because T-Mobile's parent company, Deutsche Telekom, wants to sell, AT&T or not.

  3. Re:Nomenclature on MS To Build Antivirus Into Win8: Boon Or Monopoly? · · Score: 2

    Te definition of a virus is changing to an all-encompassing word. You can change along with the rest or you can be left behind. Arguing semantics will get you no where.

  4. Re:4g on Ask Slashdot: Updating a Difficult Campground Wi-Fi Design? · · Score: 1

    You could drive 50 miles in any direction from my house and not find 4G. We just got 3G six months ago and only on AT&T.

  5. Re:Cool! on Boeing Delivers Massive Ordnance Penetrator · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not nuclear.

  6. Re:Ethics? on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 2

    I'm a vegetarian that is very anti-peta; their "ethics" play no part in my decision. Unlike most, though, I was raised on a farm that had beef cattle and have pulled the trigger myself a few times.

    What is unethical is refusing to change when there are better options.

  7. Re:Why? on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You only wish that was a troll.

  8. Re:Honestly on Fee Increase Attempt Inspires 'Dump Your Bank Day' · · Score: 1

    I can't overdraft with my debit Mastercard. It's opt-in if you want to.

  9. Re:I did on Fee Increase Attempt Inspires 'Dump Your Bank Day' · · Score: 3, Informative

    I have a small bank, only two branches, because the closest credit union is 35mi from here. During college and for several years after, I lived hundreds of miles from my bank and it wasn't a problem. If I needed an ATM, I could usually find one in-network (star) and if I needed to deposit a check, I would drop in in the mail and it was available a few days later.

    It wasn't that big of a deal.

  10. Re:Too bad for him on Julian Assange Loses Extradition Appeal · · Score: 1

    He shouldn't using Wikileaks money to travel to sweden for questioning. Personal problems should use personal funds.

  11. Re:Useful for Airplay on Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) Now Open Source · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Geeks are biggest fanboys on the planet. They get mad and everything, reason or not.

  12. Re:open source, patent encumbered on Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) Now Open Source · · Score: 0, Troll

    Who cares? Have to be or want to be. The result is the same.

  13. Re:Defeats the Purpose on Kobo To Release Android Tablet E-Reader · · Score: 1

    Exactly. I have a classic wi-fi nook and you couldn't pay me to read books on an LCD screen over eink.

  14. Re:Arab spring my ass on Reuters Reports Death of Gaddafi In Libyan City of Sirte · · Score: 1

    I've heard plenty on the news about protest in Saudi Arabia and the government increasing handouts to calm them. It's been on CNN for months.

  15. Re:MS Stole Apple's Lunch Money in the 80's on Samsung Vs. Apple Tit-For-Tat Down Under · · Score: 1

    It was a negotiated deal. Nothing was stolen.

  16. Re:The Forever Boss on What Happens When the Average Lifespan is 150 Years? · · Score: 1

    The average age won't raise if only the 1% get the option.

  17. Re:Wow, 100,000 activations... on 100,000 iPhones Overwhelm Activation Server · · Score: 1

    It's according to where you live, I guess. I get 1 to 0 bars with Verizon (at home), but get full bars with AT&T. I still hate them, but no other choice.

    No Sprint towers, so the signal is the same as Verizon.

  18. Re:Too little, too late on Netflix Kills Qwikster · · Score: 1

    So what? That is a quick way to get your message to a company, and it worked.

  19. Re:Solution on B&N Yanks DC Titles After Exclusive Amazon Deal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Better solution. Don't buy or support them. Exclusivity deals take away consumer choice.

  20. Sad day on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 2

    :(

  21. Re:Limiting damages -- Great idea on Canadian Court Finds Website Scraping Infringes Copyright · · Score: 1

    Umm, no. GP is correct, though the United States is the 3rd most populous county, behind India and China.

  22. Re:War /= civil process. on Drone Kills Top Al Qaeda Figure · · Score: 1

    The president ordered it and the Yemon president approved it.

    He had dual citizenship.

    Deal with it is right. I no longer use Firefox.

  24. Re:Why? on Chrome Set To Take No. 2 Spot From Firefox · · Score: 1

    I keep my laptop running for months at time. I have to close firefox every day or so because it starts dragging ass.
