  1. Re:Global government on EU ACTA Doc Shows Plans For Global DMCA, 3 Strikes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The way the summary reads it seems more like a U.S. initiative with the goal of undermining the freedom and liberties of global citizens...

  2. MythBusters on Iraq Swears By Dowsing Rod Bomb Detector · · Score: 1

    Let's see : Who has easy access to explosives and could do some scientific testing on said devices, apply a little critical thinking and discredit the whole concept to a relatively large audience... I wonder?

  3. Re:OK, new policy. on Leaked Modern Warfare 2 Footage Causes Outrage · · Score: 1

    And that list should be available with an API as part of some package of WebServices fully indexed and searchable

  4. IPREDator on The Pirate Bay Ordered To Block Dutch Users · · Score: 1

    And what happens if you're Dutch and use IPREDator to access the Pirate Bay? I doubt they built a "dutch backdoor" into that.

  5. Where in Europe is... on Cotton Swabs are the Prime Suspect In 8-Year Phantom Chase · · Score: 1

    So it's the cotton swabs? That is exactly what Carmen Sandiego would want you to think.

  6. Connecting on Airlines Have to Ask Permission to Fly 72 Hours Early · · Score: 1

    So... If someone misses a connexion he'll have to wait for three days? Excuse me while go and buy a cheap motel and a car rental place dangerously close to an airport.

  7. Color on Canadian Coins Not Nano-Tech Espionage Devices · · Score: 1

    OMG! Color on a piece of change!! I wonder if they actually figured out the "blue piece of paper" they kept getting back in their change was actually a five dollar bill.
    It looks like money, but it isn't green... I better file a report.

  8. Big on Blue-ray 'Not a Burden' For Sony · · Score: 0, Redundant

    When I hear about 20GB games, I'm always reminded of what some people can do with just 96KB http://212.202.219.162/kkrieger and I always wonder what those guys could do with a whole megabyte.

  9. Re:Other way around? on New Kind of Spam 'Un-Training' Filters? · · Score: 1

    Either way it's not really helping is it? Now you'll have to peruse you spam folder convinced you're gonne find something useful in there.

  10. Needed to on PS3 Production 'In Full Swing' · · Score: 1

    Homer: Hummm... Sony-flavored beat down (drooling noises).

  11. Price on DS Web Browsing Looks Refreshingly Good · · Score: 1

    At the end of the video (on the blog) I think it says it will be 3800 yen... Wich would make it about 32USD (37CAN).

  12. Feeling guilty? on UK Hackers Face Antisocial Behaviour Orders · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Guilty untily proven guilty.

  13. Can I still be sad? on Self-Censoring 'Chinese Wikipedia' Launched · · Score: 1

    and prevents the 'promotion of a dispirited or negative view of life'

    So, if I get fired from my job in China, can I get arrested for feeling blue?

    As big as it looks I really hope it's also a good quality amp.

  17. Really? on E-Paper On Cereal Boxes · · Score: 1

    Do we really need more non-recyclable packaging? Think: Flashing landfills of the future.

    I have to be able to show off the reason for my sig somehow

  19. Re:WARNING: Do not destroy your passport on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 3, Funny

    A days parking at the airport : 12$
    Homemade Magnetron gun concealed in suitcase : 250$
    Watching everyone you point your suitcase at miss their flight and get arrested (before you get arrested yourself) : Priceless!

  20. Re:And fragmentation is bad? on The Fracturing of the Internet · · Score: 1

    I think fragmentation would be a bad idea because I don't believe Chinas implementation of the Internet would be such a great thing.

  21. Re:Such daring speed! on NASA's New Shuttle · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah... Especially since it took about nine years the first time.

  22. Re:Drive? on Mazda Switches To USB Keys · · Score: 1

    I can't even imagine the damage USB door locks would suffer at minus thirty degrees celcius. Just imagine (because it would happen) some poor idiot using some deicer on those puppies...

  23. Re:Translation-ish on No Levy on iPods in Canada · · Score: 1

    No... the "C'est beau." part of it juste means : "Ok, cool.", with a hint of "I'm annoyed" and has nothing to do with Canadian scenery. Et vous pouvez me faire confience là dessus. And you can trust me on this one.

  24. Re:I think NOT on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Ok... and what OS will these happy people be using to download their free Linux distro with? Might just be the copy of windows that they bought with the pc in the first place. So some people might have to pay for windows in order to then make a choice and go down the Linux road.
