  1. Re:Works at room temperature? on First Graphene Transistor · · Score: 3, Funny

    Scotch Tape + Pencil = Über-transistor. Mac Guyver would be proud.

  2. Re:Non-Issue on Microsoft "SiteFinder" Quietly Raking It In · · Score: 1

    Hm, after checking http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.a sp I must say I overestimated their market share. It seems to be around 58.6% if we are to trust w3schools for Jan 2007.

    I estimated that it'd be around 70~80%, in which case I would still have considered my argument valid (after all, they don't have a complete monopoly on dekstop operating systems either). I must say that with new statistics considered, my argument fails.

    Sorry for making such a definitive statement without checking my assumptions first. Then again, that is default behaviour around here. :P

  3. Re:Non-Issue on Microsoft "SiteFinder" Quietly Raking It In · · Score: 1

    Because they are using one monopoly to leverage themselves in another market. This is illegal because it is considered anti-competitive behaviour.

    Joe Blow doesn't change it, only you do.

  4. I think this is good on Christian Group Prepares To Mark Wii as 'Porn Portal' · · Score: 1

    As long as this remains an informational campaign (although it is obviously very angled) I think this will help parents make informed decisions.

    As long as it helps the parents aquire more knowledge about their children's playthings, good. If they try to take away the Wii's internet access instead of promoting good parenting, bad.

  5. Re:Samsung, LG - what about Nokia? on Newton's Ghost Haunts Apple's iPhone · · Score: 1

    N800 doesn't do phonecalls, so I wouldn't say it is on the phone market.

  6. Re:Compatibility on An Ad Upstart Forces Google to Open Up a Little · · Score: 1

    Works fine for me, try out the auto-updater for filterset.g - it includes whitelisting, which is pretty good to have.

  7. Sweden aswell on TV Delays Driving AU Viewers To Piracy · · Score: 1

    This happens over here in Sweden aswell. I saw people do this lots and lots with both Prison Break and Lost, since the episodes aired about one or two weeks later over here, people downloaded them from BitTorrent.

  8. Re:Screw that on Building the Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'm surprised I hadn't thought of that. Heh, I feel like I'm the silly one now.

  9. Re:Screw that on Building the Interplanetary Internet · · Score: 1

    Only the latency needs to be high. This means it'll take 20 minutes to request something, but after that it might aswell be fiberlicious hot steamy martian sex.

  10. Re:Google on YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox · · Score: 1

    A sarcastic "Don't be evil" is not an insightful (much less thoughtful, intelligent, or unique) response to every single action Google takes for the rest of eternity. You must be new here, etc.

  11. Re:Bravo on University Professor Chastised For Using Tor · · Score: 1

    But you don't. Also, cleaning up streets is a full time job, so is taking care of the town water supply.

  12. Re:An ounce of prevention on Study Show Link Between IT Sabotage, Work Behavior · · Score: 1

    Had somebody taken time to care about the guy in office space, they would immediately have recognised "signs". This is purely anecdotal, though, and doesn't necessarily apply to real life. I myself think that people without reasonable goals to strive for (long, short, mid term) are the only ones likely to go kahoots.

  13. Re:paranoid on Your House Is About To Be Photographed · · Score: 1

    They could like, cut off your bi-weekly tin foil transports, man.

    Think of the children moral panic yes?

    Yes.

    And in this case, it fixed some Darwinian leftovers!

    Stay still, I'll wrap you up in some tin foil.

  17. Re:That's great! on iPods Becoming Entrenched In Major League Baseball · · Score: 1

    And wow! Talk about making money out of it!

    Visions and ethics mean nothing. Accept it or be labled a communist/terrorist (you're not implying that the free market may have a downside or two, do you?)

  18. Re:Vaginas for Jesus: Nice real nice, REMOVE IT on Sony Settles With FTC Over Rootkits · · Score: 1

    You just got trolled, man. People are just going to continue doing that shit until you stop responding in ways they find hilarious (that is, at all - they want to waste people's time).

  19. Re:I Chooose a Better Punishment on Sony Settles With FTC Over Rootkits · · Score: 1

    That's nothing to them. Voting with your dollars is a good way to make people forget the one vote per person thing. Thankfully America hasn't voted per dollar, and instead have made themselves a court system to handle these cases properly.

  20. Re:iphone on Mass Storage For Phones · · Score: 1

    In the Mac community, will Thursby Software have anything to say?
    Probably not, considering they operate in different markets. See the Apple v Apple case.

    That can only mean one thing! Those Swedish vikings are at it again. Don your tinfoil hats! Man the lifeboats! Close up your monasteries!

  22. Re:Not level on OS Comparisons From the BBC · · Score: 1

    Windows has a file manager, it has a window manager, and it has something that handles the desktop. All of these are named explorer, even though they are not the same. They are also started using the same executable. To start only the filemanager, use the argument /e

  23. Re:Such a dirty word... on Canadian Phone Company Selling Porn · · Score: 1

    That's why they call it smut. Only four letters and it rhymes with Smurf
    They would make horrible poets. Also goes to show why the American legislation is in the state it is.

    More like 49.8% (there are more women than men).

  25. **AA got that problem handled on Google Blurring Sensitive Map Information · · Score: 1

    Not surprisingly, the same areas are blurred in Google Earth. But how about images from satellites operated by other nations, such as SPOT or Sovinformsputnik?
    Oh don't worry about that, they have broadcast flags put up just beside their facilities.
