  1. Re:Loud? on Pre-Dawn Wireless Emergency Alert Wakes Up NYC · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is something so compelling about a decision made in the interests of good, but so boneheaded and asperger's-style singlemindedness that it results in the exact opposite. Makes you just want to smack the person responsible until *you* get tired of it

  2. Fire everything! on 787 Dreamliner On Fire Again · · Score: 1

    >> all the airport's fire crews tacking the Boeing 787 incident Send ALL the crews? :\

  5. Re:Query on Ship Anchor, Not Sabotaging Divers, Possibly Responsible For Outage · · Score: 1

    Every time you idiot-proof something, alot comes a better idiot And they gotta get close to land and come ashore somewhere, likely where there's heavy infrastructure already...

  6. *sigh* on Got a Cell Phone Booster? FCC Says You Have To Turn It Off · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh, great. More bullshit.

  10. Re:Have these people never taken an economics cour on EBay Pressured To Block Sales of Ivory Products · · Score: 1

    Actually, from Ebay. Google told me so.

    "Find new and used" nuclear weapons or black people. They've got everything.

  11. Re:Yeah on Apple to Rule the Digital Home by 2013? · · Score: 4, Funny

    "House corrupted. Please set fire to it and use itunes to restore."

  12. Re:BAD MOD (insightful) on 85% of Chinese Citizens Like Internet Censorship · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They are being sent there because they were allegedly captured as illegal combatants and/or provided support to a terrorist orginization

    FTFY. Everyone in Gitmo is an innocent man according to our laws.

  13. Re:I could find 19 terrorists in like 5 minutes! on Data Mining In Law Enforcement · · Score: 1

    The 9/11 variety attacks Wonders, but what about everywhere else?

    Iraq, Israel, Southeast Asia... it's all about markets and churches and hotels for the high frag count. Like you said, a few attacks would completely shut down air travel in the United States for the foreseeable future. Like V for Vendetta, where they just gave up and abandoned the subway system.

  14. Re:I see this as a large statement in the Game ind on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call a 10-second movie and a The End screen "reduced content." They completely sidestepped the ending for KOTOR 2.

  15. Re:Bigger Worry: A backdoor is worse than a CD. on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    It's even simpler than that.

    All a crack really has to do is comment out the function call that initiates the check. A 2-character edit, right?

  16. Re:Bastards on Spore, Mass Effect DRM Phone Home For Single-Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    You will be completely unable to play this game in about 10 years. It will be gone forever, save for the efforts of crackers.

    King Thingol learned that lesson the hard way.

    Judge a lightsaber by its crystal, do you?

  19. Re:Do it. on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    Technically, it opens the relatives up to charges because the laptop has just passed into their possession. Oops...

  20. Re:Do it. on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    He had passworded everything on his computer

    it is likely he wanted it to be found.

    lol wut?

  21. Re:Death certificate on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    Do you do any writing?

    I'd certainly like any unfinished short stories I've been working on to be released in the event of my death rather than vanishing into nothingness.

  22. Re:Safe even upside down? on Further Details From Soyuz Mishap · · Score: 1

    Blind chance?

  23. Re:They'll just go to the Zune store... on MSN Music DRM Servers Going Dark In September · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Looks interesting on First Looks at Microsoft's New "Live Mesh" Platform · · Score: 1

    Maybe I don't want all my desktop shit backed up to the psp or ipod. Then I leave it on the subway and can spend the next 20 years innovating against identify theft. No thanks.

    That's a very good question...
