  1. differentiating = not neutral on BT Content Connect May Impact Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    By definition, differentiating negates net neutrality

    Do they think people are so stupid that they can just use big words to lie to people? Oh wait...

  2. random searches for low-level crimes on Police Can Search Cell Phones Without Warrants · · Score: 5, Funny

    Monday's ruling upheld the drug conviction of Gregory Diaz, arrested in April 2007 by Ventura County sheriff's deputies who said they had seen him taking part in a drug deal. An officer took a cell phone from Diaz's pocket, looked at the text message folder 90 minutes later, and found a message that linked Diaz to the sale, the court said. Diaz pleaded guilty, was placed on probation and appealed the search.

    WHEW! I feel SO much safer now that these low-level drug dealers are getting arrested and searched. I can now walk the streets safely knowing that these minor crimes are being prosecuted with probation sentences and bonus cell-phone searches.
    I think we should just randomly pull poor people over and search everything they have including their cell phones and hopefully we can find SOMETHING to bust these criminals with!

  3. patently false on Groklaw — Don't Go Home, Go Big · · Score: 2

    In effect, it would become a meta-blog, like Huffington Post...

    Well, that's not necessarily a good thing judging by the number of ads and crap you find on that site. In comparison, its current version is much cleaner and nicer.

  4. YouTube Algorithm on Researchers Claim 1,000 Core Chip Created · · Score: 1

    The researchers then used the chip to process an algorithm which is central to the MPEG movie format – used in YouTube videos – at a speed of five gigabytes per second: around 20 times faster than current top-end desktop computers.

    20x speed is getting closer to what I need before I can even ATTEMPT to build my very own Holodeck.

  5. What a relief! on Goldman Invests $450m In Facebook · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was so worried about facebook running out of money. Thank GOD that Goldman Sachs intervened and saved them from financial ruin.

  6. Data plan limits are a scam on Does Windows Phone 7 Have a Data Transmission Bug? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Yes, I said it. Data limits are a scam. They are a tool for cell companies to suck as much money out of their customers as possible.

    Imagine if your ISP did this...people would be irate.

  7. CORRECTION on Chinese Written Language To Dominate Internet · · Score: 1

    Chinese TYPED language to dominate the Internet.

  8. It was once said a long time ago... on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The Greedy Man wants to use fear and doubt regulate and control access to the internet.

    But the Wise Man wants to keep the internet free.

  9. Forecast: Clouds on Apple's $1 Billion Data Center Mystery · · Score: 1

    It's 'The Cloud' that everyone is talking about.

    No, not really. They just bought some acreage to grow Macintosh, of course. Apple is officially going in to the juice business.

  10. 3D Glasses and an $800 Ipad with no USB on The 57 Lamest Tech Moments of 2010 · · Score: 1

  11. Wikileaks... on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 1

    "There's no app for that."

  12. Minecraft is Addictive on Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up · · Score: 1

    I had no idea what I was getting in to when starting Minecraft. It is fun to start off knowing nothing about how the game is played, and just start building a castle or whatever.

    It is amazing how this game far outshines other games that are much more graphic intensive.

    Minecraft is your Utopia. You can do anything in Minecraft.

  14. Social Networking in a Totalitarian State on Can Zuckerberg Leap the Great Firewall of China? · · Score: 1

    doesn't sound much fun. Either you are going to be very boring, or you will always be testing the limits of an authoritarian regime. Neither of which can last for very long.

    It's like wearing an alcohol detector bracelet at a beer garden during Oktoberfest.

  15. EC2 Elastic Load Balancing on Why Anonymous Can't Take Down Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    EC2 Standard On-Demand Instances Pricing
    Linux/UNIX Usage Small (Default) $0.095 per hour Windows Usage $0.13 per hour
    Features of Elastic Load Balancing
    Using Elastic Load Balancing, you can distribute incoming traffic across your Amazon EC2 instances in a single Availability Zone or multiple Availability Zones. Elastic Load Balancing automatically scales its request handling capacity in response to incoming application traffic.
    Elastic Load Balancing can detect the health of Amazon EC2 instances. When it detects unhealthy load-balanced Amazon EC2 instances, it no longer routes traffic to those Amazon EC2 instances instead spreading the load across the remaining healthy Amazon EC2 instances.
    Elastic Load Balancing supports the ability to stick user sessions to specific EC2 instances.
    Elastic Load Balancing supports SSL termination at the Load Balancer, including offloading SSL decryption from application instances and providing centralized management of SSL certificates.
    Elastic Load Balancing metrics such as request count and request latency are reported by Amazon CloudWatch.

    Linux instances are much, much cheaper.

    I don't see anything changing, really.

    Anyone seen Voyager 1?

    Last I saw he was heading out of the solar system with some bald chick. I really didn't think too much about it at the time, but it did look a little weird.

  19. Slanted and Enchanted on 'Jeopardy!' To Pit Humans Against IBM Machine · · Score: 1

    "Watson" is named for IBM founder Thomas J. Watson. It will look nothing like the computer "maid" on "The Jetsons." Rather, IBM said its on-screen appearance will be represented by a round avatar.

    A parallelogram avatar would have been better.

  20. Oh Comcrap! on Comcast Accused of Congestion By Choice · · Score: 1

    The more I know about Comcrap, the less I understand.

    Is their company run by an evil troll who punishes all those who implement innovation and progress?

    I have never, EVER heard anything good about Comcrap.
