  1. Why the feds? on Feds Won't File Charges In School Laptop-Spy Case · · Score: 1

    Why is the federal government involved? Shouldn't this be a state issue?

  2. Unheard of on Controversy Arises Over Taliban Option In Medal of Honor · · Score: 1

    The US is currently at war against the Taliban. To create a game that lets you play as the enemy in a current war is unheard off. It's borderline treason (promoting the enemy) and in very poor taste.

  3. Hurd on Larry Ellison Rips HP Board a New One · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Great, now we'll never get to see the GNU Hurd completed....oh, wait

  4. Re:Haha on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 1

    "So where do you think those racist Democrats went?"

    Well, they couldn't have gone to the Republican party. Because by your own definition "any serious racist would obviously not remain a member of a party that is led by a black man" and the Republican Party is lead by a black man -- Michael Steele.

  5. Re:Things have changed on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 1

    How could this possibly be off topic? I guess the Left's bury brigade made it here too.

  6. Things have changed on Buried By The Brigade At Digg · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow. Things have changed. I left Digg years ago because back then all the right leaning stories were getting buried and the left leaning ones where getting promoted.

  7. Re:Other Paralells on iPad Owners Are 'Selfish Elites' · · Score: 1

    The SUV is so she can carry the whole family and their soccer gear in one vehicle. Would you prefer she take two cars?

  8. Re:Asperger's on Obama Won't Intervene Over British Hacker McKinnon · · Score: 1

    "1) didn't cause any damage, 2) wasn't acting out of malice, and 3) was at least accomplish what he did in large part due to the incompetence of those who are, in theory, supposed to be competent in protecting themselves from such attacks."

    Until a trial, you don't know if 1 & 2 are true.

    As for #3, are you saying that if I have a store and someone breaks into it, then it's my fault because I didn't have enough bars on the windows?

  9. Next Gen Dev Phone on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    I think part of the Nexus One was Google getting a more advanced developer phone out to people.

  10. Re:Good on him on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 1

    So you wanted us to get involved in the politics of another country?

  11. What's different? on Amazon Opposes Plan To End Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    They've delivered mail on Saturday for decades. Why can't they do it now?

  12. Job 38:6-7 on "Music" Of the Sun Recorded By Astronomers · · Score: 1

    "On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone-while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?" Job 38:6-7 (NIV)

  13. Re:Good on him on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 1

    Really? How would you have handled Hitler?

  14. Re:Maximum PC on Modern Day Equivalent of Byte/Compute! Magazine? · · Score: 1

    and a ton of favor.

  15. How do they know? on DTV Transition - One Year Later · · Score: 1

    "were never used by purchasers"

    How do they know that? Was it a question I missed on the Census?

  16. How? on O2 Scraps Unlimited Data Usage For Smartphones · · Score: 1

    65GB per month over a 3G?

    What, are these people downloading movie torrents on their cell phone?

  17. Re:My business model fails! on Apple Blindsides More AppStore Developers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's kinda like how people have different versions of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) that run at different resolutions...

  18. Re:Disheartening on When the US Government Built Ultra-Safe Cars · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Depends. Which country does the money go to?

  19. so on Google PAC-MAN Cost 4.8M Person-Hours · · Score: 1

    And how much extra work got done that day because people where a little happier?

  20. Priorities on California Moves To Block Texas' Textbook Changes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seems to me California would have more important things to worry about.

  21. That much oil? on Gulf Gusher Worst Case Scenario · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Wait. There's that much oil there? I thought the environmentalists said we needed to find other power sources because we were going to run out of oil soon.

  22. Re:The Reason they used Nukes.... on Oil Leak Could Be Stopped With a Nuke · · Score: 1

    I thought it was caused in the first place by Chuck Norris sneezing.

  23. Re:Attendence in college? on RFID Checks Student Attendance in Arizona · · Score: 1

    True. And they also learn about the consequences of they don't manage their time well

  24. Not what I call a stimulus on RFID Checks Student Attendance in Arizona · · Score: 1

    "federal stimulus money"?!

    They're spending stimulus money for the digital equivalent of "Bueller....Bueller" ??

  25. Re:Not a checkbox, a shortcut... on The Shortcomings of Google's Open Handset Alliance · · Score: 1

    If you didn't get one, then how do you know it sucks?
