    You guys must be really slow typers.

  3. Re:Crackfix please on Windows 7 RCs Shut Down To Force Updates · · Score: 1

    Have you ever had experiences like this, where someone has given you free/cheap drugs to get you hooked?

    Now I am not saying it doesn't happen, but I question how often it does happen, since it is not needed from what I have seen.

  4. Re:Nope on The Grid, Our Cars, and the Net · · Score: 1

    Mass transit busses remain on the roads all day and most of the night, unlike a commuting auto, which is normally used an hour or two per day

    What a ridiculous comparison. If this is your logic, then you really having nothing to add to the subject at hand. We are not comparing 1 car vs 1 bus. We are comparing ALL cars against ALL buses, since it is moronic to look at it otherwise.

    Make sure you keep it a secret who you are with then, dickhead, who knows what would happen if you told us stuff like that.

  7. Re:Welcome to Japan circa 2001 on Ten Features To Love About Android 1.5 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    . For that matter, the screen res was 352x416, the highest at the time, and still higher than most cells

    Really, higher than 640x480, which some HTC and iPaq phones had 3 years ago? Looks like you are doing it as well, oh and btw, your nokia is a shitty phone. Tacking on everything bar the kitchen sink doesn't make it so great.

  8. Re:This may be overly optimistic, but... on Duke Nukem Forever Gameplay Footage Leaked · · Score: -1, Troll

    Nice one Sherlock, you fucking figured it out, based on your stupid assumption that they would have got in extra bandwidth.

  9. Re:Thinly veiled advertisement for a new service on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 1

    Well, yawn, I really don't care

    You sure you really in the right place then? You realise you can get your windows announcements elsewhere?

  10. Re:i ignore voice mail on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 1

    If they ring, and there is no voice-mail, they don't charged, and it is quick, and they can ring back later. Just switch off voicemails.

  11. Re:i ignore voice mail on Time For Voice-Mail To Throw In the Towel · · Score: 1

    Congratu-fucking-lations, because here in shitty Australia, our major telco Tel-fucking shitheads-sta decide that leaving a message charge me money, and listening to a message charges money.

  12. Re:I already have one, its called an iPhone ... on Mobile Wi-Fi Hot Spot · · Score: 1

    Fuck off, you are making us iPhone users look like a bunch of wankers (come on guys, not all of us are).

    This is a device to allow sharing to a whole bunch of computers.

    Bad as in Back to the future, meet your older self bad. Universe destroying stuff.

  14. Re:This is kinda ironic for IBM old timers on IBM "Invents" 40-Minute Meetings · · Score: 1

    40 min for the meeting, 1 minute to get there, one min to get back to your office.

  15. Re:Remember when Apple was going to buy Nintendo? on Apple Eyeing EA? · · Score: 1

    So why has Microsoft not purchases EA yet? Fear of over extending its monopoly. Microsoft would have a lot to get out of EA, reduce the PS3 sales around the world by shipping all those sports games to xbox.

  16. Re:Not quite unchanged on Apple Reconsiders, Approves NIN iPhone App · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the world is a complicated place. It is almost as if rules about selling music are old, and as far as selling apps are something new?? Fucking complicated, isn't it, moron.

  17. Re:100 miles to the nearest commuter train, on Your Commuting Costs By Car Vs. Train? · · Score: 1

    Why do you have a playstation controller in your backpack? And why would it cost $150,000 to replace those two button, just buy a brand new controller for $50.

    Yes, yes, it is not for everybody. We already fucking now this.

  19. Re:I hope this spirals out of conrtol on Giant Spiders Invade Australian Outback Town · · Score: 1

    Just no one tell the spiders. This is just what they have been waiting for. The only thing stopping them so far is irregular access to newspapers.

  20. Re:Still doesn't mean much on Theora Ahead of H.264 In Objective PSNR Quality · · Score: 3, Funny

    You know what else is a niche market, PCs. Most people in the world don't own one, so it is a niche market. And you know what isn't a niche market, stupid fucking wankers talking shit.

    Well then, he should try downloading a version of Linux which isn't 5 fucking years old.

  23. Re:Cause someone will bring this up: on Apple Racks Up the Gaming Patents · · Score: 1

    You make a good point, but also seem to be ignoring the casual gamer crowd. These people aren't going to buy a dedicated machine, but might by a couple of games from $10. This market could be huge. Also, with the iPhone, you have a huge market for non-game applications, like cooking, etc...

  24. Re:Question on Richard Garriott To Sue Former Employer NCSoft · · Score: 1

    They are not cutting him a discount. They put aside the shares when they are $10. So it doesn't matter if they go up to $1000, it isn't costing the company anymore, except in opportunity cost. They don't have to come up with $990 to pay the different, they just miss out on making $1000 instead they make $10.

  25. Re:As Jon Stewart would put it.. on Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form · · Score: 1

    Perhaps sentience can only arise as a result of our brains being "jump" started in some way (cosmic radiation, genetic preprograming or whatever)?

    You left out a few, Magical Unicorns, Pink Fairies and Jeebus Christ.

    Seriously, this discussion belongs somewhere else. If you want to believe that there is something extra, fine. But it is not worth consideration, it doesn't stop value of the research we are doing, and until you can prove it, it is not worth even comtemplating.

    Just because some religions say there is a soul, doesn't mean shit.
