  1. Re:Why do we bother with the barbarians? on Saudi Justice: 10 Years and 2,000 Lashes For Internet Video of Naked Dancing · · Score: 0

    and women still get abused, more than in Saudi Arabia. Also, US doesn't need to fund terrorism if they can do it themselves.

  2. Re:Why do we bother with the barbarians? on Saudi Justice: 10 Years and 2,000 Lashes For Internet Video of Naked Dancing · · Score: -1, Troll

    Let's start with United States of America then :)

  3. Re:This is TRAGIC but.. on Egyptian Security Forces Storm Pro-Morsi Camps Leaving Nearly 100 Dead · · Score: 1

    and you saw that in your magic 8 ball? what does your 8 ball say about Red Sox winning this season? Some people are just amazing when it comes to assumptions about the future.

  4. Applicable to society? on If a Network Is Broken, Break It More · · Score: 1

    So if it's true, can we apply it to every other aspect of our lives? How about applying it to a society? If there is something bad about the society, the only way to fix it is to make it worse, by taking out more goodness from the society, until it reaches a point where it's 'good' again? Who defines what's good and what's not in this case?

  5. Re:Overthrowing the NSA. on Egyptian President Overthrown, Constitution Suspended · · Score: 1

    With all due respect, if you study Islam, Quran and the teachings of Muhammad are the laws that are supposed to be followed by an Islamic government. Just expressing your doubt in its value without any knowledge of it does not make any sense.

  6. Negativity? on Leaked Microsoft Video Parodies Chrome Ad · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't we have ads on Bing? Don't we ads on Hotmail/Outlook.com? Don't we have ads on every service out there from Microsoft that's free? If you can't trust Google, you will never trust Microsoft either. Birds of a feather ...?

  7. Windows? on $250 Chromebook With Ubuntu Linux Is Very Fast · · Score: 1

    When can we run Windows XP on it?

  8. Re:Dawkin's is a piss poor social scientist on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Education, 'Innocence of Muslims,' and Rep. Paul Broun · · Score: 1

    LOL! No. How did you come to this conclusion. Few atheists would deny the existence radio waves, bacteria, electrons...sounds...

    That's still 'visible' to the eye, and by that mean it's observable, through scientific means (hence the reason why visible was in quotes).

  9. Re:Dawkin's is a piss poor social scientist on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Education, 'Innocence of Muslims,' and Rep. Paul Broun · · Score: 1

    People don't kill in the name of Atheism.

    Because Atheism is the existence of nothing, the denial of an existence of any kind of Lord and the lack of any belief in anything except what's 'visible' to the eye.

  10. Re:And what about the same case in other countries on Apple Must Publicly Post That Samsung Did Not Copy iPad · · Score: 1

    Apart from publicity/shame, nothing much. UK laws don't apply there any way, even though they should adopt a very similar approach to these mindless cases.

  11. Who's next? on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    "When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information." So Google should be next in line! Let us know beforehand so we can stop using that part of Google, unless they want to take ALL of Google out ...

  12. Re:Nuclear Iran. on Iran Forced To Replace Centrifuges To Stop Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    Just to clarify, there is no incursion and fighting in Pakistan with border patrols. The Pakistani government has allowed these drone strikes to be conducted on its own citizen for the "cool" amount of money they get from US. Keeps all parties happy, except the Pakistani people themselves. As far as keeping yourself immune from US government's involvement is concerned, it's better for a country to be neutral rather than be ally or against US, because either way, it turns out bad for the country.

  13. What about Mrs. Monkey? on Iran Plans To Put a Monkey Into Space · · Score: 1

    Send Mrs. Monkey to accompany him as well. He will be bored to death otherwise for not having someone by his side to pick tasty morsels out of his hair! or vice versa of course.

  14. Re:Essential reading on Friedman on Have We Reached Maximum Sustainable Population Size? · · Score: 1

    Absolutely! Why are we even bothering to listen to Mr. Friedman anyway? He's a moron of galactic proportions and that notion is overflowing in his articles as well.

    Next, we'll be hearing Mr. Donald Trump educating us on how to run for elections!

  15. Re:Grawklaw? Aren't they DEAD? on Paul Allen's Lawsuit Patents To Be Reexamined · · Score: 1

    I'm glad it's sorted. It nearly gave me a heart attack!

  16. It's nice, works on flash and will work on HTML5.

  17. Aren't we hypocrites too? on Google Founders' Jets Caught On WSJ's Radar · · Score: 1

    If we are all concerned about the global warming and carbon footprint, why don't we stop using everything that burns fuel, like cars, buses, trains/subways, shut down all coal and nuclear powered power plants. We should all use bikes with recyclable parts or just walk wherever we want to. Sounds plausible? I didn't think so either. We should stop dissing rich people for their "polluting deeds" when we can't change our own!

  18. Re:can you hack the iphone / ipad to run windows 8 on Windows Already Up and Running On ARM Architecture · · Score: 1

    You probably can, as I think Windows 8 is designed to run on tablets as well as PCs, having totally different shells running for each type.

  19. Replacement parts on Plastic Made From Fruit Rivals Kevlar In Strength · · Score: 1

    So do we replace bio-degraded parts with new ones every week?

  20. Re:Rewrite e=mc^2? on 12-Year-Old Rewrites Einstein's Theory of Relativity · · Score: 1

    The idea is to find e, not c. c is a constant.

  21. Re:Someone's mis-identified the castle on If Search Is Google's Castle, Android Is the Moat · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Search drives Ad sales, which makes it the core of Google. They usually don't link any of their products with ad sales directly. So I believe identifying Search as the castle is still correct. Search is to Ad sales as Castle is to "safe and well-being"

  22. Re:Obligatory on The First Plastic Computer Processor · · Score: 2

    It's not about speed, it's about reliability and durability.

  23. Re:what's the point? on Microsoft Buys 666,000 IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    Seems like an even stupider story to me. What's the point of mentioning this in the news? They just bought a lot of IPv4 addresses, so bloody what? Why would anyone try to stop a company from buying IPv4 addresses from another company? What a waste of time!

  24. Re:Cookie! on From Redmond With Love · · Score: 1

    Talk about a big one... Are they testing for a buffer overflow?

    Nope, it was a wafer cake, so it's called a wafer overflow

  25. Re:Table. on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    Also, a tablet gives you way more battery life than a laptop (upgrading laptop's battery will make it bulkier, defeating the purpose).
