  1. Re:more than those on Google Launches Google+ Social Network · · Score: 1

    .... meant to say Youtube instead of the 2nd instance of Photos....

  2. more than those on Google Launches Google+ Social Network · · Score: 1

    As far as I am concerned, Google Search and Gmail are their only sure bets.

    Add Calendar, Docs, Photos, Reader, Photos to that list. I have a difficult time imagining those vanishing any time soon.

  3. Re:old rehashed news : RTFA & stop injest the on +Pool Would Let New Yorkers Go River Swimming · · Score: 1

    Thanks

  4. old rehashed news on +Pool Would Let New Yorkers Go River Swimming · · Score: 1

    I've been seeing this same copy and image set for nearly two years now, here and there online. Will this just keep getting rehashed until it gets the funding/approvals that it needs?

  5. Re:Posting on Volkswagon Shows Off Self-Driving Auto-Pilot For Cars · · Score: 1

    Considering that most car "accidents" are actually people, it's rather hard to undo them. :p

  6. CONSUMERS will burden the costs of the system on US ISPs, Big Content Reaching Antipiracy Agreement · · Score: 4, Informative

    ISPs and rights holders will share the costs of the system

    Naturally, the ISP will pass on the costs to the consumer, and the rights holders will find a way to pad the product price with their piece of the cost, but we all knew that.

  7. eris on Verizon To Drop Unlimited Data Plans In Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    I'm going to bite the bullet and pay the $175 early termination fee. They end-of-lifed my Droid Eris less than 7 months after selling it to me, which means I'm stranded at 2.1 which steadily is becoming more irritating and limiting. This is in addition to your complaints which I mostly agree with (cust. service has been so-so for me).

  8. Re:spolier:The sonic screwdriver seems to be gone on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    maybe the Doctor is the man she killed.

    That is exactly what I've been thinking too.

  9. stairs on Daleks To Be Given 'A Rest' From Dr. Who · · Score: 1

    Stairs haven't stopped Daleks for a while now. just saying.

  10. Re:Abuse? on Google Deprecates Translation API · · Score: 1

    You can hijack it to transparently translate your own webpages for users without crediting Google, I suppose. If you do it wrong (that is, issuing the request FOR EVERY PAGE VIEW and doing no caching at all) it could definitely be considered abuse.

    It's not like Google can't limit your requests though. Right?

  11. limiting api requests on Google Deprecates Translation API · · Score: 1

    Can't they stick to limiting API requests?

    Exactly what I was thinking. It says they are doing that now already though.

    the number of requests you may make per day will be limited and the API will be shut off completely on December 1, 2011

  12. Re:Well good luck with that on Iran Says Siemens Helped US, Israel Build Stuxnet · · Score: 0

    Russia seems to have no problem selling nuclear supplies to Iran, unless pressured a hell of a lot from the US and friends.

  13. Re:OMFG WFT *is* that? on Couple Sends Record Player Wedding Invitations · · Score: 1

    I recall having a fisher-price turntable. It didn't have the Grado cartridges like my father's upstairs did, but we used it daily for years.
    full disclosure: I'm 25 years old (in base 16)

  14. Clean-room? on Judge In Oracle-Google Case Given Crash Course in Java · · Score: 1

    Hopefully there are follow-up sessions where the judge can learn about other concepts relevant to the case, such as clean-room implementation, language bindings, and so on.

  15. Re:Finally on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 1

    Nah. When miguel posts, he posts as miguel.

    /pedantic

  16. false on Interpol Wants a Global Identity Card System · · Score: 1

    If you do nothing wrong you won't have a police record.

    It is erroneous to equate law with morality or right/wrong. Something being law does not make it ethically right or wrong. It just means there was enough support/clout/influence/lobbying/greased palms to push it through.

  17. openness on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    Thankfully, Android is open and you can just rip away all the garbage some carriers push into it.

    Real openness would be me being able to
    make install
    without rooting the device.

  18. Re:Was Microsoft Riight? on Apple's Secret Weapon To Win the Tablet Wars · · Score: 1

    because Apple will tell you why a tablet is so awesome people buy the iPad

    Well, that's easy enough. It's a magical device and let's you hold the internet in your hands.

  19. Now my 3 volume slipcased set will look awkward and incomplete and knaw away at me every time I see additional books next to it that I know conceptually belong in the slipcase.

  20. Re:I came up with his perfect pseudonym on Facebook Kills Mark Zuckerberg Action Figure · · Score: 1

    How about Zuckerpunch?

  21. Re:Action Figures??? on Facebook Kills Mark Zuckerberg Action Figure · · Score: 1

    He also walks on stages to give keynotes and such.

  22. Steve Ballmer Doll on Facebook Kills Mark Zuckerberg Action Figure · · Score: 1

    The Ballmer doll better come with a chair too.

  23. Re:Cheaper way on ARM Chips Designed For 480-Core Servers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Nah, too RISCy

  24. No savings for end users on Researchers Develop Biofuel Alternative To Ethanol · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt any savings will be passed on to the consumer.

  25. Prothero on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    Glenn Beck is the new Lewis Prothero.
