  1. Re:Simple on How To Configure Real PC Parental Controls? · · Score: 1

    Or teach him masturbation, less painful, same result.

  2. Competition on Google Quietly Closes AdSense API to Small Sites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is there any competition to capture this <100K market?

    Anyway, site developers can still share profits with contributing users, it's just less transparent and more tedious to work out the portions.

  3. Of course! on Google's Head of Research — We Don't Do Hardware · · Score: 3, Informative

    Define hardware : major items of military weaponry (as tanks or missile)

  4. Re:Just for the record, I am too... on RIAA Trying To Avoid a Jury Trial · · Score: 1

    I'm scared and I haven't done anything wrong.

    Trust me you're still okay. I'm scared that I haven't done anything wrong.

  5. Re:Frsit Psot on Method of Reading Discovered · · Score: 1

    I wished it was true, but this discovery is about cross-eyeing letters, not words.

  6. Magazine subscription on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 0

    This is similar to some magazines, which keep sending you the mags AND invoices, even if you have already cancelled the 10th fricking time.

  7. Waiting to take the battery out? on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 1

    I wonder why there are so many posts saying to wait to take the battery out?

  8. Pointless but cool? on Realtime ASCII Goggles · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not pointless if it's cool, it's just useless.

  9. Next? on Mars Rovers Return to Exploration · · Score: 1

    Would engineers and scientists wish these machines just die so that new, better explorers can be built and sent to Mars?

  10. Baby Spice on FBI Targets Online Auction Sites' Criminal Element · · Score: 1

    What Took You So Long?

  11. On an airplane? on Student and Professor Build Budget Supercomputer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's small enough to check on an airplane

    With security concerns nowadays, it's the amount of cables coming out of it that worries an airline, not the size or weight of this machine.

  12. Signature on US Teen Trades Hacked iPhone for Nissan 350Z · · Score: 1

    Would you use a iPhone with someone's signature on it?

    I'm sure the Fairlady will have "Daidone" signatures all over it!

  13. Paper Cut-Outs on Beijing Police To Launch Animated Web Patrols · · Score: 1

    I must admit that I do slow down sometimes when I see a paper cut-out on the side of a highway.

  14. Hidden Danger on Comcast Cuts Off Users Who Exceed Secret Limit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    By introducing, or FUDing a secret limit, Comcast users are now in fear that they could be cut off at any time. While some are likely to switch ISP, most will try to slow down a bit "just in case". Overall less data will be used.

    If Comcast sets a public limit, most users will try to get to that limit just to get the money's worth, and this tends to increase overall usage.

  15. Re:Well... on Teen Hacks $84 Million Porn Filter in 30 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Does unmotivated teens exist?

    If teenagers can unsnap a bra in 5 seconds, why are we surprised that it took 30 minutes to bypass a filter?

  16. Perception on Teen Hacks $84 Million Porn Filter in 30 Minutes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    icon is not deleted which will make his parents believe the filter is still working

    Isn't this what's important to parents? They only need to feel good, other technical details are useless.

  17. Re:Video simulations on Lunar Eclipse Next Tuesday Morning · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Nice try, but not this time, because "....Enough of this light reaches the Moon to give it a faint orange or reddish glow even when it's totally eclipsed."

  18. Human eyes on U of CA Constructs 220 Million Pixel Display · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's all good, but are our eyes capable of viewing every single px of it?

  19. Outsource it on Should We Spam Proxies to China? · · Score: 4, Funny

    would not have any idea how to go about it anyway

    If India is too expensive, consider hiring Chinese to do this spam.

  20. Re:How long on Microsoft Opens Up Windows Live ID · · Score: 1

    Hasn't MS already got a solution?

    All these partner sites must display a "Genuine Live" hologram GIF image.

    Beat that!

  21. Diebold and Microsoft on Diebold Rebrands What No One Wants · · Score: 1

    Why did Diebold get sidelined after it made a bad product, and couldn't get out of the bad reputation, while Microsoft also makes bad products, and people can't get enough of it, and MS hardly try to change its name!

  22. Re:hmmm on Bigelow Aerospace Fast-Tracks Manned Spacecraft · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why would I want a flight from NY to LA to take 20 minutes when it's going to cost me $30,000+?

    Most people wouldn't, or couldn't afford to. However you'll be surprised how many people can and are willing to spend $30K to fly from New York to London to pick up a $100K designer handbag at 4pm, and return just in time to attend a party at 5pm.

  23. Holy Grail on Crowther's Original Adventure Source Code Found · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I digged out my Transformers toys when the movie was out, but playing with them doesn't give me the same thrill as they did 20 years ago.

    This, is probably the same.

  24. Re:RAID 5 Please on Terabyte Hard Drive Put To the Test · · Score: 1, Funny

    not like you'll die if you wait 15 more seconds before you start looking at it

    Yeah but who would still watch it after coming within 5 seconds?

  25. As popular? on Voltron Headed For The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I believe I'm not alone to still own both Transformers and Voltron toys from the 80's, but somehow Voltron doesn't do me as much as Transformers does.

    I don't know how to explain it, but does anyone feel the same? Or do you think Voltron has a stronger, more emotional and deeper storyline?
