  1. Great on Japan Earthquake May Have Shifted Earth's Axis · · Score: 1

    Now my iPod *really* won't wake me up in time!

  2. Turn in your uniform Troubleshooter on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 1

    You have been deemed a "Traitor of Alpha Complex" by The Computer

  3. Re:what? on Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go? · · Score: 1

    So they're "tech hipsters"?

    PLEASE... NO!

  4. Oblig. "The State" on Glen Beck Warns Viewers Not To Use Google · · Score: 1

    ... Im outta here.

    "I'm Doug... and I'm outta heee-eee-eeere"

  5. Re:You will be missed. on Activision Axes Guitar Hero · · Score: 2

    reiterating:

    *WHOOOSH*

  6. FALLUTIN on JAXA To Use Fishing Nets To Scoop Up Space Junk · · Score: 1

    clean up that thar space junks...git-r-doooone

  7. Re:Kevin Butler on Sony Marketing Man Tweets PS3 Master Key · · Score: 1

    Do you people realize that Kevin Butler isn't even a real person? (At least, not at Sony.) He's a fictional character played by an actor. This twitter account is probably manned by dozens of employees in the marketing department paid to do just that. Any one of them could have been tricked or compromised. citation

    QFT

    The actor is Jerry Lambert (at least in the commercials, could be anyone managing the Twitter account). He's done lots of bit work many sitcoms and used to do several humorous commercials for GEICO as the "bland insurance agent".

  8. This is surprising, how? on LG Wants PlayStation 3 Banned From US Market · · Score: 2

    SO, this is all business as usual in the technology industry, right?

  9. Re:A $250 dollar video card ... on Putting Up With Consolitis · · Score: 1

    However, with the console, however, you don't need a computer with a $250 video card then. The only time I use my work-issued laptop is for work (software development) and basic web-browsing. I don't use a lot of desktop-applications any more. If I game, usually it is on my phone or a PS3. If I web browse, it's on my work machine or my phone. My gaming computer died over 6 months ago and I have had ZERO motivation to fix it or upgrade (just grabbed the HD and hooked it up with an external enclosure).

    I do have a computer hooked up to the network I can run terminal services into to do personal development, however, again, mostly for programming, has no monitor and no real video card in it (just whatever was integrated)

    I have no plans for a computer purchase next, i'd be happy with a low end web-browsing notebook IF I had to buy one and use as a dumb terminal. However, I can actually use any HTML5 based web-browser for that if I use TinyVNC.

  10. Re:Sounds familiar on Netgear CEO Says Jobs's Ego Will Bite Apple · · Score: 1

    You said it, they brought Jobs back... full circle... or something :)

  11. Re:SGU bad? on J.J. Abrams Promises 'Fringe' Will Die Fighting · · Score: 2

    However, I bet those reasons killed Caprica

  12. Re:Very common sentiment on How Facebook Ships Code · · Score: 1

    I'm *usually* not for modding up ACs - but if I had points, I would certainly point this out.

  13. Re:Privacy for Jobs? Maybe that's not realistic. on Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave of Absence · · Score: 1

    Dude's been "hippy dippy" for years... that being said, pancreas cancer is bad mojo

  14. Re:It's amazing on Steve Jobs Taking Medical Leave of Absence · · Score: 1

    He's had a Whipple Procedure done also. Some of that pancreas is left (as the procedure deals with the head of the pancreas), but it is possible that something was missed or reappeared on what was left.

  15. Re:Proton Pack on Running Your Own Ghost Investigation? · · Score: 1

    My opinion, is not try to convince them, you'll go mad if you do... no matter how much evidence you supply to the contrary, they will have their own "reasons" why the evidence is contrary... and those reasons WILL BE SUPERNATURAL.

  16. Re:You might want to double check your work... on A Klingon Christmas Carol · · Score: 1

    Publicity is publicity... doesn't matter as much if it is bad or good

  17. Re:Good but great? on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 1

    Not trying to troll a primarily Firefox (but will come off that way anyways, sorry!)... however, if extensions are stopping you from using Chrome, there are "gazillions" of them now (via the Chrome Web Store). I am not sure if there are equivalents to the one you use in FF now, but probably good alternatives are available. Note, Chrome *will* use more memory as each tab, extension and plug-in usually runs sand-boxed in separate processes, but it does have decent performance.

  18. Re:Is "Beta" an appropriate label? on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If it still has bugs and needs more testing before a stable release (or even Release Candidate), then yes, Beta is MORE than an appropriate label. (Methinks, people these days don't really understand what beta software is? Hell, may I don't, anymore.)

  19. Half of them are fart modules, I bet on RubyGems' Module Count Soon To Surpass CPAN's · · Score: 1

    *facepalm*

  20. Re:But Linux is TEH SAFEZORZ! on GNU Savannah Site Compromised · · Score: 1

    or DERP

  21. Epic's 3D demo on RAGE On iOS Shows Promise · · Score: 1

    Epic Games has a pretty impressive 3D demo on the app store (free i believe). I only tried it on the the iPad but I think you can get it on other platforms. I heard they are making a game based on the sample world the demo has, which I think can certainly rival Rage (on iOS, anyways)

  22. Re:What a Waste! on Attachmate To Acquire Novell For $2.2B Cash · · Score: 1

    Nope... it's probably Carl or Wayne

  23. Re:Poor NGO on Best IT-infrastructure For a Small Company? · · Score: 1

    Duh, mice need to have "buzz cuts" not braids. That creates shorter distance mouse com-fibers that have the fastest response time to user input.

  24. No Way!! on Hard-Coded Bias In Google Search Results? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Google's search engine thinks links to Google-related stuff is more relevant? HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?!!

  25. Re:Adobe Reader, now even slower! on Adobe Launches Sandboxed Reader X · · Score: 1

    This is why I abandoned it. Also, it seemed it was just was getting sloppy with some of their last releases.
