  1. Create a private company on Georgia Bill Would Prohibit Subsidies For Municpal Broadband · · Score: 1

    Can't the city start a private company and be the sole customer? Are there laws preventing that?

  2. Leave the phone at work on Volkswagen Turns Off E-mail After Work-Hours · · Score: 1

    How about just don't carry your work phone when you're not at work.

  3. When did Apple grow a conscience? on Apple Addresses Factory Pollution In China · · Score: 1

    You think that with all the positive stuff Apple has been doing lately that they must have have a change in upper management.

  4. It's so easy to remember. What happens if the ISP blocks all DNS service other than their own?

  5. Irrelevant post on CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing they used a laser to calibrate the experiment; if that's the case then the actual distance is nearly irrelevant.

    If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. ~Henry J. Tillman

  6. Bad analogy on Fusion Garage Going After Lower-Price Tablet Market · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why would the rip off Louis Vuitton bag be any worse that the real thing? There are good knock offs and bad ones. Some of those rip off items come off the same assembly line as the real ones.

  7. Re:Backup and fill-in on The Coming Energy Turnaround In Germany · · Score: 3, Funny

    All you say is very interesting but how does it get me re-elected?

  8. Re:No I don't on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I don't understand the reaction to posts. I get marked as flamebait for saying that I don't like Apple's computers? Here's a couple examples of why I don't like iTunes. 1. You can't just load music onto your iPod by dragging a folder onto your device, you need to do it through iTunes. 2. If I want to sort my music by mood I can't, iTunes just reorders everything by artist/album. I hate the fact that Apple tries to dumb everything down. I want control over my devices and Apple doesn't seem to give me that choice.

    And I don't have a phone. I can't stand the interruptions, if I need to turn it off I may as well not have one or pay for it.

  9. Re:No I don't on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 0

    How so? I don't think there is a single Apple product that has made my life better, directly or indirectly.

  10. Re:No I don't on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I don't own a cellphone of any kind, I refuse to carry one. I do have an MP3 player, one that doesn't require iTunes. I once owned a mac, I didn't like it and gave it away.

  11. Re:No I don't on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 0

    He's great because he's visionary, regardless of whether you agree with his vision.

    Hitler was a visionary too; I don't admire him either.

  12. No I don't on A Look Back At the Career of Steve Jobs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't have to admire the man in any way, shape, or form. IMHO, Making obscene amounts of money doesn't make a man great. Apple certainly hasn't made my life any better, I don't own a single Apple product and most likely never will.

  13. Re:Your kidding, right? on Right-Wing German Extremists Tricked By Trojan Shirts · · Score: 1

    So Sweeden, Germany, Belgium, and Austria are full of wackos? Very high on standards of living lists, very prosperous, and very taxed.

  14. Re:Apple isn't doing jack here. on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nobody wants to carry an extra device.

    That's why I won't carry a phone.

  15. Re:Bad for everyone on Apple Files Suit Against Motorola Xoom In EU · · Score: 1

    What make you think the elected representatives are on your side?

  16. Re:Bad production on Why Your Dad's 30-Year-Old Stereo Sounds Better Than Yours · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you don't get that same chilling effect when the chorus kicks in when you are stuck in traffic.

    The radio station could easily apply compression, there is no reason muck up the source.

  17. Verified user on Are 'Real Names' Policies an Abuse of Power? · · Score: 1

    Why not just allow the users to choose to use a verified profile or not and then decide if they want to communicate with unverified profiles?

  18. Re:Boycott is the wrong answer... on Ubisoft Brings Back Always-Connected DRM For Driver: San Francisco · · Score: 1

    None of the stores in my area will accept returns on computer software, they will only exchange it for the same product.

  19. Thanks for the newzbin tip on British ISP Ordered To Block Links to Pirate Site · · Score: 1

    Barbara would be proud.

  20. Bad production on Why Your Dad's 30-Year-Old Stereo Sounds Better Than Yours · · Score: 2

    99% of popular music sounds like crap on any audio equipment. Engineers severly compress the audio dynamic range in order to make everything louder. The result is crap sounding music. You may also want to disable the virtual tin can mode on the DSP settings.

  21. Stop using pesticides on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: 1, Informative

    Hmm. Maybe if you stop spraying all that shit on out food we (and the bees) wouldn't be in such a mess.

  22. Easy fix. Tax goods at the source. on Slate: Amazon's Tax Stance Unfair and Unethical · · Score: 1

    If Amazon is taxed when they buy the goods wholesale then they'd be happy to pass along the tax to recover their overhead.

  23. How is porn different? on US Supreme Court: Video Games Qualify For First Amendment · · Score: 1

    What makes grand theft auto protected and porn not?

  24. Time to buy a IR lens filter on Apple Camera Patent Lets External Transmitters Disable Features · · Score: 1

    Just put an infrared lens filter in front of the camera. I'm sure Jobs will bribe his way into a patent on those to or pay some politician to make them illegal.

  25. Re:Stopping Science = Stopping Thought. GL,HF on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    Many people that are against GMO foods are more worried that asshole companies like Monsanto will try to patent everything we eat. Once they have done that the oil cartels will look like boy scouts. Who were the idiots that let companies patent biology in the first place? Just in case you missed something, it was ex Monsanto execs that were appointed to high positions in the dept of agriculture and FDA. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's fact.
