  1. Re:Why is ":)" less valid than "!"? on Students Failing Because of Poor Grammar · · Score: 1

    I would like to nominate this for comment of the year.

  2. Re:No wonder on USA Has More Open Wi-Fi Hotspots Than EU · · Score: 1, Informative

    That also applies here in the US as well . .. although some people have been able to argue pure ignorance and get away with it.

  3. Re:Exclusivity for envy. on Ubuntu "Memberships" Questioned · · Score: 1

    That is a pretty immature way to rationalize your efforts.

    There is no mention of a cutoff of when memberships will stop, so even if you've never helped one bit as of right now, theres nothing saying you cant make it in the future.

  4. Re:Anonymous Coward on You Won't Recognize the Internet in 2020 · · Score: 1

    Nah, im American born and raised. I think the problem is that my parents came directly from Nigeria and from my visits alone, I can tell you some real problems that the government does there that you should be concerned about.


    When bribing police officers just so you can cross public roads is something you BUDGET for on your daily commute, to blatantly out-buying votes to win an election on any and every level becomes a problem here, then I would be more reluctant to agree.

    Sigh . . . you use gov funded things everyday like mail, the roads you drive on, the approved medicine you take and the public schools you send your kids to or went to yourself, etc.


    A lot of you tin hat loonies need to take a step back sometimes . . . =\

    As a government employee who has had to admit to how much porn if any I use, I can assure you they give a damn how much you view as long as its not kiddie porn.

  7. One step at a time AT&T on AT&T Readying For the End of Analog Landlines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lets stabilize the current cellular service you currently offer before assuming you can handle the onslaught of customers when the 'cord is cut'.

    Speaking of handling loads, how are you doing with the barrage of iPhone users?



    Before you all jump on me, I am a happy AT&T customer. I am just being bluntly honest.

    Theres nothing funny about racist jokes. Leave that junk on 4chan and Digg.

    Well, in this particular case, maybe not. I would imagine that you are correct, but if Murdoch's griping is legitimate (which i doubt) then I would like to see their regular traffic flow before Google-ing became a verb and in the present day.

    I would assume that due to the great increase of people on the internet, that the projected scenario without a Google stronghold versus one in the current day and age that the latter situation would win out.

    Nobody likes middlemen, especially middlemen who cut into their bottom line.

    There, corrected that for ya.

  11. Re:Terrible Idea on Texas County Will Use Twitter To Publish Drunk Drivers' Names · · Score: 1

    Well, this is a double sided sword of an issue. I have no qualms releasing it to the wild, but if we're going to publish DUI-ers and sex offenders online, why stop there? Put murders, rapists, hit and runs, abusive parents/spouses, etc etc.

    BUT!

    You now have the issue of someone doing the time for their crime and yet this still looms over their head. Should a known pedo be working with kids 15+ years later? Maybe, maybe not. Should a prospective employer know you drove drunk 15+ years ago? Maybe, maybe now . . . but with this system, they WILL know.

  12. Terrible Idea on Texas County Will Use Twitter To Publish Drunk Drivers' Names · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Now, im as against DUI as any sane person, but theres a law about cruel and unusual punishment.

    You cant publicly scorn someone for doing Unlawful Deed A and not for B, C and D.

  13. Re:If you need to do this... on Verizon Removes Search Choices For BlackBerrys · · Score: 1

    Hmm, if the article did say this, how is this modded troll?

    You'd rather eat them then rape them??? What a modest proposal!

  15. Does it help? Depends on the situation . . on When Developers Work Late, Should the Manager Stay? · · Score: 1

    Last summer, I worked 80 hour weeks in preparation for a bake-off in the fall. It was pretty important that the developers and managers be there because even though we knew our assignments and set measuring points we wanted to meet everyday, the inevitable things came up that would require a supervisor's ruling basically so the developer's ass wouldnt be on the line if we should of done something different.

    although that was a one time, or one summer circumstance, i could think up similar scenarios where managers should stick it out for similar reasons. Dev make products, managers make certain decisions, and sometimes you just cant describe the situation over the phone.

  17. New medium, Old news on Student Banned From Minnesota Campus Over Facebook Comments · · Score: 1

    A student made threatening statements and was barred from going to the place where she admitted she will preform said actions. Nothing new.

    It was made on her public fb profile (private or public doesnt actually matter) would hold the same weight if she were to write it in her non-digital diary I would say.


    But on a lighter subject, I think a 29 year old would be too old to 'rage' like that over facebook. Something I would expect out of a high schooler =\

    Technically, he said it right there. He waited for his cash back then returned the product.


    Now, whether he actually did (i doubt it) or if there are stores that allow returns after 60 days (havent heard of any) are still up in the air . . . .
