  1. Re:stupid on Campaign To Kill CAPTCHA Kicks Off · · Score: 3, Informative

    Facebook Connect is not a "better" idea.

  2. Shame if yeh didn't make money offa this. on How Did My Stratosphere Ever Get Shipped? · · Score: 0

    Hey Bennie, that's some cool wall-o-text yeh got there. Tell yeh what, yeh can do all that writing fer us at Samsung, and we can give yeh some cool 500 bucks...just a few short comments an'such, howzabouit?

  3. Re:Point and Shoot? on Fuel3D Start-Up Promises Affordable Point-and-Shoot 3D Scanner · · Score: 1

    You're right, we should cool off and try less hotly-debated subjects like world trade.

  4. Re:Uh oh.. on Google Replaces AT&T At Starbucks · · Score: 2

    You spent real money for your latte. Now cough up your real name for YouTube!

  5. Re:Call it by a traditional Microsoft name on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 1

    Nah. They'll have Microsoft Cloud Drive Storage Tablet Edition (also available for desktops...and also the only one you can use on desktops).

  6. Re:Congress can't do that on US Lawmakers Want Sanctions On Any Country Taking In Snowden · · Score: 1

    You assume Obama isn't entirely for such sanctions, post-Assange and Manning. How cute.

  7. Re:Dumping? on A Radical Plan For Saving Microsoft's Surface RT · · Score: 5, Interesting

    That will only dignify ARM Restricted Boot. There's no reason to let Microsoft (or Apple and friends) allow some architectures to be useful and others to be outright sealed to their hardware; this will just embolden them to make all PCs jailbreak-required. Best to just not purchase RT, and wait for a real ARM alternative.

    Also, Ubuntu. So there's 2 reasons I can't support. Sorry.

  8. gg on Fifteen Years After Autism Panic, a Plague of Measles Erupts · · Score: 1

    One of the infected was Ms. Jenkins, whose grandmother, her guardian, hadn't vaccinated her as a young child. "I was afraid of the autism," says the grandmother, Margaret Mugford, 63 years old. "It was in all the papers and on TV."

    Now something else is all over them. Grats.

  9. Re: Avarice on Maneuvering Continues For Control of Dell · · Score: 2

    Probably better for us than Icahn's financial sociopathy.

  11. Re:I'm surprised on Github Finally Agrees Public Repos Should Have Explicit Licenses · · Score: 2

    It would be just a long-winded WTFPL, if WTFPL had explicit waivers of specific rights and a minimal-license fallback for places that don't have a public domain (or worse, dump rights-waived works into the hands of RIAA-like industry groups).

    CC0 is, sadly, necessary for those regions, to properly leave works to the people.

  12. Re:If only they read their Bible... on The Pope Criminalizes Leaks · · Score: 1

    I say we petition Jesus to get back down here and flip some tables, for this and other things.

  13. Re:Windows 8.1 also broke the Windows RT jailbreak on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 1

    They marked csrss.exe as a DRM-related "protected process", even though it has nothing to do with DRM.

    Don't be silly. Windows is DRM, at least as far as the MS of today is concerned. It was less enforced by software as by its EULA. Now they (wrongly) feel they have the technical prowess and ethical freeplay to make Windows use even more of itself to "protect" itself.

  14. Re:Jews... on Snowden Claims That NSA Collaborated With Israel To Write Stuxnet Virus · · Score: 1

    America gives millions to Muzzie savages in the hope that they will somehow agree to get on, ignore the teachings of Mohammed, and join with non-muslims to form an enlightened democracy. Millions spend defending the "rights" of muzzie murderers.

    Or maybe it's just to use the money to make those (and other) countries assume that they'll get it and budget accordingly, and thus keep them dependent and subservient to the money for later bludgeoning.

    "Sure you can let that fugitive of ours go...and we can also...uh...accidentally forget our next aid payment. Wouldn't want your kids to starve or anything right? Right? Goooood. Cough'im up."

    And please tell me why my phonebill is through-the-roof despite the bugs and the interference!

    Could be because of the two, if they had to pay to buy or install any of them.

  16. Re:meh! on Zynga Puts Random Stranger In Customer Support Role · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But this being Zynga, the same bunch of numbnuts that hired the "just deal with it" guy from MSFT to be their new CEO?

    I actually had to fact-check that one. Not because I thought you were lying but because I didn't think Zynga could be even more overt assholes than they already were. Sure enough you're right.

    No, could is correct, as in "it could have been secure but we put it on that silly clusterfuck network instead".

    It's ok, they'll just secretly reinterpret HIPAA.

    Values? We have nothing in common except that we like money, we like sex, and we like to shop.

    ...as long as no tits pop out at us on the TV through all the sex, or the National Security Federal Bureau of Intelligence Agency Communications Commission may get angry.

  20. Re:RMS and unintended outcomes on RMS, Aaron Swartz Among 2013 Internet Hall of Fame Inductees · · Score: 1

    In retrospect, it would have been neat to have written that kind of thing into the GPL (the spooks would have run Windows servers instead, and our privacy would be safe if we used anything more complex than ROT13).

    Even the FSF says the GNU AGPL addresses some, but not all, of their issues with software run over a network—best to just roll your own versions of the cloud stuff on your compy if you really give a fuck about not being mined and mailed out.

    I was a loyal (and VERY happy) Fictionwise customer for a decade. FW did three things that were absolutely priceless in marketing eBooks to me.

    You're still a complete idiot. Everyone knows that thingamabobs have more soluble fiber than both of them, and no late fees or phoning home. You'll never see them pass AdWords muster, though.
