  1. This justifies the Kindle on The Linux Programming Interface · · Score: 1

    Won't anybody think of the trees? My aching back trying to lug this around?

  2. Sorry BSA on BSA's Latest Piracy Claims 'Shockingly Misleading,' Says Geist · · Score: 1

    I'm not pirating. I'm purchasing $10 to $20 games... or premium 5 year old games marked down to under $20. I won't spend $50+ on a game any more.

  3. Re:Heh on The Great Operating System Games · · Score: 1

    And thus the codename "Bambi" -- a 3d, child friendly game.

  4. Re:Heh on The Great Operating System Games · · Score: 1

    I work with one of the Hover developers. :-)

  5. I'm partially in favor on Leaving a Comment? That'll Be 99 Cents, and Your Name · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't want future employers googling me for my political views, so I want to use a pseudonym, but I'd be happy to give them my full name to activate the account.

  6. Sooo... on Quantum Physics For Everybody · · Score: 1

    This is just a reprinting of Fred Wolf's 15 chapter "Taking the Quantum Leap" as 9 chapters?

  7. Re:So? on Ban On Photographing Near Gulf Oil Booms · · Score: 1

    If they were just doing it to prevent muck-ups, they would have announced this rule the day they rolled out the booms.

    They're hiding stuff with this.

    Pure and simple.

  8. All growing and no shrinking on Over a Third of the Internet Is Pornographic · · Score: 1

    For "Web sites that contain violence have grown by 10.8 per cent, terrorism content by 8.5 per cent, and illegal drugs purchase by 6.8 per cent".

    Does that mean all web sites are converting to terrorist web pages selling porn and drugs?

  9. Fun with reporting of statistics on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    x% this, y% that... "Others received better reception" With no actual number for "others" why do I suspect that % was something like .1%?

  10. Does it come with... on Hands-On With Dell's Streak Android Device · · Score: 5, Funny

    a free Xbox 1 controller?

  11. bundled servcies suck on Where Do You Go When Google Locks You Out? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is why I don't like service bundles. They ban you for a group/blog/whatever violation, and suddenly you lose access to your email, profile, etc. etc. So I do use gmail, but I use a different account for google groups, and a different account for App Domain. It's the only way to defend yourself from their free, unmonitored, unsupported, 100% auto-managed services.

  12. Re:Actually, there is a lot of harm to apple... on Police Seize Computers From Gizmodo Editor · · Score: 5, Interesting

    People still believe the Osborne Effect???

    These days, it's a given that any tech gadget that comes out has a V.Next well under way.

    iPad 2 is already half way done. Nexus 3 is being written as we speak. Office 2012 is being worked on.
    If you are buying an iPhone today, your first question is "When did the last version come out?"

    The first segment of the wiki page is all about THE MYTH for intertube's sake!

  13. Flashback attack on Looking Back at 1984 Report On "Radical Computing" · · Score: 0

    ...government document...

    This page is intentionally left blank.

    -- Whoa, the authors of Star Fleet Battles worked for the DoD?!?

  14. So don't care on Gizmodo Blows Whistle On 4G iPhone Loser · · Score: 0

    The phone was rapidly bricked which means after he goofed, he did the right thing: he reported it to Apple. I wanted to know the details of the $10,000 trade and the article was far too thin on that part of the story.

  15. Maybe an improvement from their perspective... on Ubisoft DRM Problems Remain Unsolved · · Score: 0

    "evolve and improve" == "Become more invasive and restrictive" There's tons of other games out there. Why do people keep buying Ubi "our customers are theives" soft games?

  16. Re:Blizzard is right! on Gay Guild Recruitment Disallowed From WoW? · · Score: 0

    Boys have gender identity issues for wanting to stare at the ass of a female elf hour after hour? I beg to differ! Forget about the character sex, it's the boys that want to stare at the ass of a tail-swinging Tauren I wonder about!

  17. Cable TV doesn't want you as a customer on TiVo Unveils Series3 HDTV DVR · · Score: 0

    S-Video, and composite, and audio is optical digital or RCA stereo. ...AND they'll delete your show whenever they want to. Screw it. Rhapsody + Netflix + WoW costs far less than any cable.

  18. 3 things on What Makes a Good Design Document? · · Score: 1

    It should enable new hires to ramp up quickly. When nobody works on it for 2 years and it needs a small modification, it should be clear from the docs where the change can and should be made. All upstream and downstream dependancies should be noted so when something breaks you know where to make the update to keep the systems working with each other. See? It's simple.

  19. The Phantom will ship by Christmas!!!!! on The Next-Gen Consoles - Sort Fact From Fiction · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And even more cool: The next Nintendo will run all Playstation games!
