  1. Re:Mod Story Down on Paypal Won't Release Funds To Slain Soldier's Family · · Score: 1

    Read the article, and it will be obvious that the person who set everything up is not only and idiot, but they are rude and foul-mouthed as well.

    What the fuck is wrong with being foul-mouthed?

  2. Re:No major competition with PayPal is the problem on Paypal Won't Release Funds To Slain Soldier's Family · · Score: 1

    I don't think that follows. If Google competes with eBay, then eBay still has to advertise, and Google is still the place to do it. If anything, they might have to advertise more to keep the competition at bay.

    Indeed. We all know that Ray Romano is the true definition of evil.

    could backfire like a moose in the headlights.

    And you don't want to be anywhere in the vicinity when a moose backfires. That just reeks. It's also no use arguing with a moose over who dealt it.

    If you want to track drug purchases, wouldn't it be better to give the coins to, say, Rush Limbaugh or Paris hilton?

    Eh? Is google some kind of beer or something? We Canadians don't drink American beer, else he'd look like hosers.

    Light should probably go to the mechanic for a lube job, then. Or at least stop drinking and smoking.

    Ok, see the hole in the middle? That's the sun. Track 1 is approximately where the earth is located. The outer edge might be pluto's orbit.

    That doesn't make any sense. On a record, track 1 is at the outer edge of the disc, not closest to the hole.

  12. Re:Looking back in time. on Astronomer Discovers the Most Distant Stars Ever Observed From Earth · · Score: 1
    Except you aren't traveling. You haven't gone anywhere or anywhen. You also aren't even observing the past, you are observing the present - the light waves as they are currently striking your eye. Just because they traveled for a while doesn't mean you are seeing the past.

    It's like saying if someone visits me from China, I have traveled back in time the 12 hours that it took for them to reach me. In other words, it's total nonsense.

  13. Re:Agreed on How Apple Kept the iPhone Secret · · Score: 1

    No it wasn't relevant, because it was random bitching about the iPod, nothing to do with a constructive discussion of the iPhone's iPod features.

  14. Of course... on Disney Takes Aim at Movie Based MMOGs · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nobody wants players from Second Life. That's why they are playing Second Life in the first place.

  15. Rejecting failed applicants? on Do You Tell a Job Candidate How Badly They Did? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's not the way to go about it. You hire these failures, and then you slowly crush their soul and destroy their lives, then sue them. Isn't that what business is all about? As if I'm going to hire the best and brightest. That's no fun.

    Using a Rio, I can select my music by not even LOOKING at the damn thing.

    No, it means it that a post is "offtopic" - which the GP post was. This story is about the iPhone and how it was kept secret - not about the iPod's flaws. So how is "offtopic" an inappropriate mod?

    In my experience, kids tend to be much more enthusiastic about photography and SLRs. Most adults are way too technophobic, and only photography enthusiasts even want to look at an SLR. The kids don't have such fears.

    Your fingertip is an inch thick? You must be some kind of mutant with logs for fingers. That's insanely fat.

    Now the iPhone becomes the enabling point for the whole car experience.

    Personally, I find the car to be the enabling point of the whole car experience. Gadgets just distract from the driving pleasure.
