  1. Maybe I'm a dumbass but.. on Times Paywall Blocks 90% of Traffic · · Score: 1

    How do we know if they are talking about the New York Times or the Times Union? Saying "The Times" is pretty ambiguous.

  2. All those numbers and stats are nice but.. on Apple Offers Free Cases To Solve iPhone 4 Antenna Problems · · Score: 1

    I just called my friend who owns an iPhone4 and it took about 2 minutes before the call was dropped. I called him back a minute later, and the call was dropped again after about a minute. So you may say that it happens with other phones, but it is definitely the worst on the iPhone.

  3. Best thing to do on Retrieving a Stolen Laptop By IP Address Alone? · · Score: 1

    Is get insurance. My laptop was stolen out of my car, filed for insurance claim and got $1200 :)

  4. No training necessary on Chinese News Reports the Taliban Are Training Monkey Soldiers · · Score: 1

    Monkey see, monkey do!

  5. Re:Relevant. on Zynga Investment May Herald Google Games · · Score: 1

    Ahaha, yes, I think we've all been ripped off one way or another by ScamPal.

  6. Re:Popularity on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    Uhh they did the exact opposite when we begged them for LAN play, so your point is disproven.

  7. Bah on Blizzard Backs Down On Real Names For Forums · · Score: 1

    So they yield when we complained about this, but not LAN? If anything, LAN is much more important than whether or not we use names on the forum. Add LAN before it's too late! Wait.. It is too late.

  8. Waste of time on Colleges Stepping Up Anti-Cheating Technology · · Score: 1

    They do all this to prevent cheating, yet they still allow mental-steroids like Adderall? Such hypocrites.

  9. College trains you to be reliabl on Zoho Don't Need No Stinking Ph.D. Programmers · · Score: 1

    A college degree is just another way to market yourself. College degrees really aren't all that useful, as most of the classes you take are electives that you won't care to remember anything about, and the important stuff is usually outdated by the time you are in a real job. So yeah, college pretty much just shows you have the dedication to go through 4 years of bullshit, meaning you may be more reliable than someone who dropped out of college after a year or two. It doesn't mean college students will be smarter.

  10. Re:This is just beyond lame. on Need a Friend? Rent One Online · · Score: 1

    LOL Try mixing a little bit of weed with it then :)

  11. LOL!!!! on Chase Bank May Drop Support of Chrome, Opera · · Score: 1

    LOL!!! They let people browse with IE6 but not Chrome? What next? Only Office '97 documents?

  12. Quantum computing on FBI Failed To Break Encryption of Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    With quantum computing they could crack it within a year.

  13. YES on US Shows Interest In Zombie Quarantine Code · · Score: 1

    Yes! Punish users who choose not to defend themselves. If they can't take the time to read up on some basic security practices, then they shouldn't be using something as powerful as a computer in the first place. Maybe this will help cut back DDoS attacks.. If only we had a better way to find the controller of the botnet!

  14. Rainbow Table on NY Governor Wants To Expand DNA Database · · Score: 1

    So he wants a massive rainbow table for DNA? too bad we couldn't just generate them with brute force like we do hashes..

  15. Re:Look at yourselves in the mirror. You do it. on Why Being Wrong Makes Humans So Smart · · Score: 1

    What bothers me is when someone continuously makes the trivial mistake over and over again - and you know it happens. That's when it's time for my superiority to kick in and teach that lazy, stupid, evil mistake maker a lesson!

  16. wrong on Why Being Wrong Makes Humans So Smart · · Score: 1

    Mistakes are OFTEN made because of laziness or stupidity. Everyone should try to do their best, and doing their best means avoiding any mistake possible. If people thought things through more and weren't so lazy and impatient, they wouldn't make 3/4 as many mistakes.

  17. Change all the pw's on Getting Paid Fairly When Job Responsibilities Spiral? · · Score: 1

    Change all the pw's and hold the network hostage. If they don't give you a raise, rm -r *

  18. Answer to author on Prosecuting DDoS Attacks? · · Score: 1

    My company was DDoSed for several days last year and we are a law firm. We used every resource possible to try and crack down on this attack, but there were no leads or links back to the attacker as all the IP's were zombies. It's virtually impossible to find out who is behind the attack, as the attacker never sends any packets from his IP.

  20. Interesting on Dead Salmon's "Brain Activity" Cautions fMRI Researchers · · Score: 1

    They say you're brain is active after death for about 40 days (electrical signals). This is what I believe is heaven/hell for people and then we slowly fade as an individual and become one with the universe.

  21. Smoke that budddhaaa on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 1

    It's about time we got our freedom back! How long has marijuana been illegal? Almost a full century. How long have humans been enjoying marijuana? Several thousand years! Why, in ONLY our last century was it made illegal? Why, after thousands of years, all of a sudden, the government is so afraid of it? They don't give reasons as to why it's illegal and treat peaceful potsmokers like dirt!

    It's time for the government to grow up and stop being such a baby! Just because you don't want to enjoy marijuana, doesn't mean I shouldn't be allowed to. Stop being greedy you damn cry babies!

  22. Re:Two words: on How To Prove Someone Is Female? · · Score: 1

    LOL!! Perfect :) If she hits the garbage can while backing out of the driveway, then she's definitely a female!

    Good, now there won't be so much outsourcing.

  25. Good old pigs on Arizona Judge Tells Sheriff "Reveal Password Or Face Contempt" · · Score: 1

    See, I knew police were above the law! Imagine if a group of highschool kids did this? LOL
