  1. Trojan horse?? on Is Microsoft Trying to Become "King of Search" With Cortana Strategy? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it's pretty irresponsible to refer to a legitimate and legal marketing tactic that is in use by Google and Yahoo as "Trojan Horse". Users know when they install a Bing search app that their searches are not going to Google... Not sure whether that comment came from teh reference article or the poster, but it's a little over the top, even for MS haters on ./

  2. Re:Yes, and? on One Year Later, We're No Closer To Finding MtGox's Missing Millions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And the worst part is seeing some anonymous idiot trying to turn every discussion into a political scat fight.

    You all realize this was a joke, right??

    Better yet, go to Ukraine. Less Putin, more cute women. Sorta like Russia-Lite.

    How's that regurgitating hackneyed phrases working out for *you*?

    Brilliant. I wish I had points to mod this up. I've cut and pasted this. Thanks!

    The initial panic I'm seeing around this looks ill-informed

    On the internet??! In America?!? Surely Sir, you must be joking.

    Or if you're too stupid to realize that this is exactly what they ARE doing according to the referenced article....

  9. Cringley was right on the money on Massive Layoff Underway At IBM · · Score: 1

    Robert X. Cringely has been predicting this for years and just wrote a recent article on the subject.

  10. How old is hughpickens.com? on The iPad Is 5 Years Old This Week, But You Still Don't Need One · · Score: 0

    And do we really need reprints of Slate articles?

  11. Simple answer on Facebook Censoring Images of the Prophet Muhammad In Turkey · · Score: 2

    To be fair to Zuckerberg and Facebook, the company must obey the law of any country in which it operates.

    Fine. Then pull out of Turkey. Really, how much is that going to cost you in losses?

  12. And this will help world relations too! on How Bitcoin Could Be Key To Online Voting · · Score: -1

    Because the only thing more fucked up than the US election process is Bitcoin in general. Let's put them together so that everyone in the world will have a textbook definition of a clusterfuck that is perfectly illustratable...

  13. Re:And? on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: 2

    But this is a weak analogy at best. I now pay for a bunch of sports channels and kids TV that I don't care about. Your example of internet access; if I'm not going to use it on the plane I don't have to pay for it. Same thing for the light snack or entertainment. I don't have to pay for it. Or I can bring my own candy bar. But with cable, if I want Channels X & Y, I have no choice but to get the package that offers Channels M through Z whether I want them or not. The idea that now you have to pay for a lot of things individually on airlines that you used to get for "free" assumes that I cared about any of those "free" things in the first place.

  16. Re:Why do I care what Harrison Ford thinks? on Blade Runner 2 Script Done, Harrison Ford Says "the Best Ever" · · Score: 1

    Your argument is faulty and your conclusions are based on faulty logic but I will try to reply.... He played the lead character and one of two leads who survived at the end of the movie. He also read both scripts. He has also appeared in more critically acclaimed movies and box office successes. He is obviously very careful about his career as he could appear in countless movies but doesn't. I think I made my first point clear. As far as "how do you decide between them" as none of the previous films actors have read the script and publicly commented, then I think there's no conflict here.

  17. Re:Why do I care what Harrison Ford thinks? on Blade Runner 2 Script Done, Harrison Ford Says "the Best Ever" · · Score: 1

    Sabrina made $87,313,761 worldwide and an additonal $23,321,710 in US rentals alone. On a budget of $53,000,00. Hardly a dud. What have YOU done lately?

  18. Re:Why do I care what Harrison Ford thinks? on Blade Runner 2 Script Done, Harrison Ford Says "the Best Ever" · · Score: 1

    Why should I care what *you* think? At least Ford ACTED in the movie. His opinion would be infinitely more nuanced than that of someone who simply viewed the film. No offense personally, but you asked.
