  1. Re:Copyright laws. on Anyone Can Play Big Brother With BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    I think he's implying he's paranoid and delusional, believing everyone in the world around him is a sarcastic liar.

  2. Re:Intentions are irrelevant on Obama To Decide On New Weapons · · Score: 1

    they're fucked if they assume good faith and are wrong.

    But if they assume bad faith, they're fucked whether or not they guessed right.

    The Russians are quite capable of doing the right thing.

  3. 342,065 US ISP employees are fully expendable on The Truth About Net Neutrality Job Loss · · Score: 1

    The truth, apparently.

  4. Re:Just like on In Brazil, Google Fined For Content of Anonymous Posting · · Score: 1

    If stupidity were illegal, we'd end up designating the planet as a prison and launching all the smart people into space. And the rocket would be mostly designed and built by prisoners.

  5. Re:Why run IPV6? on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    No more work than they need to do already as an ISP. They can point a /64 route at the router inside your house and let that handle the address space it's given.

  6. Re:So now the question is... on What Happens When IPv4 Address Space Is Gone · · Score: 1

    I'm done too.

    Shame my ISP won't be for a million years.

  7. Re:Just build nuclear power plants already... on Arizona Trialing System That Lets Utility System Control Home A/Cs · · Score: 1

    If you're generating more energy than you can use, find a use for it. Use the off-peak time to fill up some hydrogen fuel cells or something.

  8. Re:This is a LTS release... on Ubuntu LTS Experiences X.org Memory Leak · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Anyone who cares about having the latest and greatest wouldn't be using Ubuntu at all. If they're lucky they might get the "latest" part for a few days after 10.04.

    Ubuntu has become just a superficial OS X clone for cheapskates who won't buy the real thing.

  9. Re:already done, wtf? on Hidden Cores On Phenom CPUs Can Be Unlocked · · Score: 1

    The newest BIOS version should work and give you a menu option to mess with the EC firmware. The process is pretty scary (it'll deep power cycle itself without warning) but it's straightforward. I've been using all 4 cores of my X3 for half a year now for running Folding@Home and at stock speeds it's never had a single problem.

    Also, file TFA under "N" for "No Shit Sherlock".

  10. You get what you pay for. on Ubisoft DRM Problems Remain Unsolved · · Score: 1

    Or in this case, what you deserve.

  11. Re:I guess... on Sony Refuses To Sanction PS3 "Other OS" Refunds · · Score: 1

    A class action lawsuit... and the sudden plummet in software sales once the general public forcibly take back the feature they paid for.

  12. Re:I know this is bad. on Microsoft Mice Made in Chinese Youth Sweatshops? · · Score: 1

    You claim MS makes the best keyboard and mice, and in the same breath

    ...he demonstrates they wire all the keys up wrong!

  13. Re:Not only their mice on Microsoft Mice Made in Chinese Youth Sweatshops? · · Score: 1

    Never attribute to sweatshops what can adequately be explained by malice.

  14. Re:Why hobble a new product? on The Genius In Apple's Vertical Platform · · Score: 1

    If the iPads have dual PPCs, then their OS & some key apps would be written for it.

    OS X was like that on x86 until they finally moved to full 64-bit in 10.6. The rest of the article is bullshit though.

  15. 1920x1080 in 17" on New MacBook Pros Launched · · Score: 1

    I wish normal desktop displays had a DPI that high, so I didn't need to make a tradeoff between more text onscreen or less eyestrain.

  16. Try actually being a parent. on What Advice For a Single Parent As Server Admin? · · Score: 1

    If you run your home network like a police state, its users will come to treat you as head of a police state. If your kids are already so screwed up that this is the only remaining option, then you need to be restrained yourself.

  17. Re:Schools vs. Killing brown people on Chicago Mayor Calls For "Brainiac High" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    indoctrinated, trained, and equipped in Afghanistan

    By whom?

  18. Re:What they need... on Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode · · Score: 1

    Because the alternative is Java

  19. Re:Oh good! on GNOME 2.30, End of the (2.x) Line · · Score: 1

    Kill GTK+ off? Maybe when Qt has more than one decent theme that doesn't require installing half of KDE, or when Qt themes don't require a compiler to create. Until then, get lost.

  20. Re:Incorrect currency conversion on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    $100 may buy the equivalent of £75 of goods, but £50 will only buy $100 worth.

  21. Re:Daytona! on Videogame Driving Skills Don't Apply In Real Life · · Score: 1

    You did a full throttle powerslide around a hairpin bend and it actually worked?

  22. Re:Where is the Birth Certificate??? on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 1

    Orly?

  23. Wait, what? on Hacker Will Try To Restore Linux Support On PS3 · · Score: 1

    The PS3 could play SACDs? That's the first I've even heard of it having this feature. The first time I've heard of any hardware that can play them, for that matter...

  24. Re:This may be the biggest experiment of all on First Collisions At the LHC · · Score: 1

    And the turtles are made out of lego.

  25. Re:Hopefully Not on Next iPhone — Front-Facing Camera, A4 Processor · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Flash is "open" in the sense that Microsoft's OOXML is "open". Or at least that was the reason I've seen for why gnash/swfdec are so far behind the curve.
