  1. Re:No, there are not on Are Software Developers Naturally Weird? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Except that the stereotypical view of how coders act IS "weird."

  2. Re:Radio vs Pandora on Pandora Wants Radio Stations To Pay For Music, Too · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How is this guy getting modded Insightful?
    The day I can drive from one end of my city to the other with Pandora streaming for free into my car stereo, with no dropping the signal, and local concert info and other news on occasion... only then will radio be useless.

  3. New Show? on AT&T's Bad Math Strikes MythBusters' Savage · · Score: 1

    New show: MethBusters?
    Like COPS, but with meth.

  4. Re:fingerprints don't provide an improved grip? on Scientists Wonder What Fingerprints Are For · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But the appendix isn't on its way out, it's there for after you've had diarrhea.

  5. Re:I'm a geek, but... on New HDMI 1.4 Spec Set To Confuse · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know what your friend's doing wrong, but I'm using HDMI and optical audio from an Xbox360 and it works just fine...

  6. Defamation on Should Job Seekers Tell Employers To Quit Snooping? · · Score: 1

    It's probably against their TOS, so their could at least be civil action.
    Also, don't forget defamation laws.

  7. LIVE NEWS. on Senate Passes Another Bill To Delay Digital TV Transition · · Score: 1

    Live News.
    Storms, sports, political events, national disasters, etc.
    The internet is good for a lot of things, but when it comes to live streaming, the internet just doesn't quite cut it for a lot of people. Yet.

  8. Re:There should be no coupons, period. on Senate Approves 4-Month Delay In Digital TV Switch · · Score: 2, Informative

    But government didn't make horses illegal, so switching to a car was a choice.
    Switching to digital has been mandated by the government, no choosing if you want to switch or not.

  9. Re:Altoids tin on How Do You Manage Your SD Card Library? · · Score: 1

    Ironic Much?

  10. MOD PARENT UP on Player Piano Roll Production Ceases · · Score: 1

    +1 Awesome

  11. Re:Why is this news? on Facebook Nudity Policy Draws Nursing Moms' Ire · · Score: 1

    Because with the way Facebook works, if those pictures are of someone you are "friends" with, then sometimes those pictures will show up on your front-page news feed.
    Even though you didn't try to look at it.

  12. Re:X sues Y on New York Times Sued Over URL Linking · · Score: 1

    That's because they don't usually get thrown out.
    A lot of them just get settled out of court.

  13. Re:Google says "take the deal." on New York Times Sued Over URL Linking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Also, I wonder who gets fired when they stop getting linked from the Boston Globe, and suddenly GateHouse pageviews drop by an order of magnitude.

  14. Google says "take the deal." on New York Times Sued Over URL Linking · · Score: 4, Funny

    According to TFA, when this happened to Google News, Google settled with the complaining news agency.
    I don't see NYT trying anything different.

  15. Re:I'll sue ya! on Universal Broadband Plan Calls For $44 Billion · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't mind the first two, but any one of the rest of them is a deal breaker.

  16. Re:HHGTTG vs Encyclopedia on Improving Wikipedia Coverage of Computer Science · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Google Chrome on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 1

    What about the time it takes to switch to Firefox because Facebook doesn't work properly with Chrome?

    There, fixed that for ya.

  18. Re:obligatory! (and more serious..) on Sanyo Invents 12X High-Speed Blu-ray Laser · · Score: 1

    Just bought a new video camera.
    It's HD, and it stores on a Hard Drive.
    Have to back that up somewhere.

  19. Re:McCain? on World's Oldest Rocks Found · · Score: 1

    (Because McCain is old. It's a joke.)

  20. Re:Isn't Quadro Just Another Name on Adobe Adds GPU Acceleration To Creative Suite 4 · · Score: 1

    The "Quadro" name brings with it guarantees about driver stability, hardware quality, and levels of support that aren't provided for the consumer cards.
    Or something like that.

  21. Re:Way to go Apple! on Apple Attempts to Patent Pre-Existing Display Software Idea · · Score: 1

    No, not playing in punch-buggy means that when somebody hits you, you just hit them back harder.

  22. Re:He should have summarized it on Typical Home Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering: was it supposed to be posted in the Dark Matter article?

  23. Re:Beer Pong Video Game on The War Against Virtual Beer Pong · · Score: 1

    Just last Saturday I went to a party and watched some Beer Pong, and then I went over to the TV and watched some Beer Tanks.
    It was Wii Tanks, and the loser of each round took a drink.
    Moral of the story: People are already playing driking games with their Wiis; Wii Beer Pong would just make it more official.

    Me? I'm waiting for "Rockstar Table Tennis 2: Now With 100% More Beer Pong."

  24. Re:Camcorder jammer? on Leaked Wolverine Origin Trailer Makes the Rounds · · Score: 1

    It could very well make you blind.
    Actually, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a Class IIIa IR laser.
    Because IIRC, Class IIIa means that the human blink reflex can react fast enough to the light that it won't cause serious accidental damage.
    But with an IR laser, the eye won't know that it is being hit, and so it would just sit there wide open while you wonder why the movie is slowly getting dimmer.
    Imagine that ad campaign: "The Last Movie You Will Ever See!"

  25. Re:Theater near OSCON on Batman Discussion · · Score: 1

    AND, that's still in Fareless Square, so it'd be a free ride.
