  1. Re:Subscription service on Apple In Talks To Bring $0.99 TV Rentals To iTunes · · Score: 1

    Wait... episodes at the same price as music, which are also found in episodes? I think there's more overpricing going on here..

  2. Re:They're not "special" on New Jersey County Fights Landfill Odors Using Fragrant Spray Trucks · · Score: 1

    And probably made in China too! Like those they used in China!

  3. And XBox 360 on Touchless Gesture User Interfaces · · Score: 1

    Isn't this what Kinect is all about anyway?

    Now the port scan spams on the other hand.. Sure, I can block them, but the sheer load is causing DoS issues. What can I do about that?

  5. Wait... we forgot to consider Valve time! on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

  7. Re:How accessible is sufficient? on Legislation To Make Web Devices Accessible To Disabled Users · · Score: 1

    Which doesn't answer anything. "Prior precedent" doesn't cater for anyone except the visually, keyboard-and-mouse-using capable after all.

  8. How accessible is sufficient? on Legislation To Make Web Devices Accessible To Disabled Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just an off-thought: how do you make a web device (or anything else for that matter) accessible to a mute, blind, deaf, quadriplegic?

  9. Re:Because there always has been a center of Europ on Town Gets Patent On Being the Center of Europe · · Score: 1

    Sure, but if they are the center of Europe, they would be the owner of said prior art.

    You also forgot Fucking, Austria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking_austria

  11. Re:Since non-primates may use tools too, on Tool Use By Humans Pushed Back By 800,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and then us humans just stole the technology, and killed them because we're bastards.

    But is either the case, based on just a comment post?

  15. Need to escape prison? on Inmates Escape As Guard Plays Plants Vs. Zombies · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's an app for that!

  16. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 1

    Well, not word for word, and not immediately, but the intent was there.

  17. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why shouldn't it swing both ways? Doesn't the policeman have to make sure that there's actually a dead person? Or say instead, I told a policeman that you just stabbed me in the face. Doesn't the policeman have to make sure that actually happened before he arrests you?

  18. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 4, Funny

    (Then again, that's what Obama did)

  19. Re:Without any evidence? on Online Forum Speeding Boast Leads To Conviction · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, if I said I just caused world peace, does that mean I win myself the Nobel Peace Prize?

  20. Re:Next Cold War race? on China To Close 2,000 Factories In Energy Crackdown · · Score: 1

    It's not a race if there's only one competitor, and/or other parties refuse to participate.

  21. We Exhibit the Same Irrationality As Monkeys on Monkeys Exhibit the Same Economic Irrationality As Us · · Score: 1

    It's not that they're as dumb as us, it's that we're as dumb as them.

  22. Re:It's not irrational on Monkeys Exhibit the Same Economic Irrationality As Us · · Score: 1

    Optimism, like other emotions, is irrational.
