  1. Re:A good thing? on Sony's Next-Generation Portable Is Out, In Japan · · Score: 1

    SKFU has already run homebrew ("hello world") on it. Sony just changed the old AES key they were using, but since this is Sony, there is undoubtedly more fail inbound.

  2. Magnets: how the fuck do they work? on Rare Earth Magnets Pose Threat To Children · · Score: 1

    Why would the mother's first reaction be an expectation that the magnets would pass through the kid's system? Magnets tend to stick to one another. Humanity has known this for a little while now.

  3. Pork on Virginia May Help People Pay For Space Burials · · Score: 1

    Pork pork porketty pork pork.

  4. Let me fix that for you on Scammers Work Around Two-Factor Authentication With Social Engineering · · Score: 1

    "Vodaphone employees tricked. Humans still weakest link in security chain. Film at 11."

  5. "So we all see it, we all complain about it, but what exactly are we going to do about it?"

    Drag banking CEOs into the street, slit their throats like suckling pigs, and stick the heads on pikes as a warning to the next generation of bankers?

    Or something. I'm no good at these kinds of economic riddles.

  6. Re:Pointless on US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Oh, I'm sorry. I assumed from your many examples--many of which are in fact made in sweatshops--that you were talking about things other than Rolex branded watches and Gucci branded handbags.

  7. subject on Senator Wants 'Terrorist' Label On Blogs · · Score: 1

    I'd like to point out that Joe Lieberman is a fucking dipshit.

  8. Re:Pointless on US Gov't Seizes 130+ More Domains In Crackdown · · Score: 1

    "and are dumb enough to not consider the fact that they're buying a poorly made rip-off of the actual item"

    On a tangent, how DOES one tell the difference between a genuine product of Indonesian sweatshops vs. a "poorly made rip-off" from the Chinese sweatshops?

  9. Re:State of the art AI? on Meet Siri's Little Brother, Trapit · · Score: 0

    "Do people really believe this?"

    The ones who believe the ipad is magical and revolutionary might.

  10. subject on Hitachi-LG Fined $21M For Price-Fixing Optical Drives · · Score: 1

    Let this slap on the wrist be a lesson to you, Hitachi-LG!

  11. Re:Dremel & Scrap Metal on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    And if you do that with the right type of drive, you can enjoy 7200 RPM shrapnel.

  12. Re:$30 mil per movie title! on Netflix Signs Exclusive Deal With Dreamworks · · Score: 1

    "awesome Dreamworks cartoons"

    Does not compute.

  13. Re:Spontaneus Combustion Or... MURDER?! on Irish Man's Death Ruled Spontaneous Combustion · · Score: 1

    Not that I buy the concept of "spontaneous human combustion" in any way, but I imagine the investigators probably checked for electric blankets etc.

  14. subject on Low-Latency Network Shaves Milliseconds from UK-Asia Traffic · · Score: 1

    Having just dealt with a fuckton of spam, I'm hoping routing around large chunks of Russia will be the rule from now on.

  15. Inconceivable! on Feds Call Full-Tilt Poker a 'Global Ponzi Scheme' · · Score: 1

    Oh my god who would have ever thought that online poker sites could be anything less than one hundred percent trustworthy this is an outrage etc.

  16. Re:We at PETA were only *mostly* crazy before on PETA To Launch Pornography Website · · Score: 1

    [citation needed]

  17. PETA: doing it wrong on PETA To Launch Pornography Website · · Score: 1

    "animal suffering footage"

    I'd jerk off to that. Thanks, PETA!

  18. A couple of points on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 0

    1. The vocal minority likes to bitch. I get that. But if Lucas weren't making money hand over fist from the clearly vast majority who like what he's doing enough to buy every new format and tweak that comes out, he'd stop doing it. Therefore:

    2. Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. You don't own anything. If you want to have an adult discussion about copyright laws, that's one thing. Crying about Lucas and how he ruined your childhood and molested your dog isn't going to change a thing.

  19. Re:Good on Seven States Pile On To Block AT&T/T-Mobile Deal · · Score: 1

    "T-Mobile has the best prepaid plans of any carrier."

    I pay $25/month (it will be $35 if you aren't grandfathered) for unlimited data and 300 talk minutes on Virgin Mobile. Works for me, since I used about 14 of those talk minutes last month and a shitload of data. Plans were cheaper across the board than T-Mobile. Of course, you'd be CDMA on Sprint's network, which may or may not work for you. But regardless, T-Mobile is hardly the cheapest prepaid option.

  20. Re:iOS != general-purpose on Smartphones Becoming Computer of Choice in Developing Countries · · Score: 1

    You seem to have a hard on for Apple for some reason.

  21. Re:iOS != general-purpose on Smartphones Becoming Computer of Choice in Developing Countries · · Score: 1

    "That doesn't give me a lot to go on. Which popular smartphone platform other than Android "can run Frodo, DosBox, and UAE", as Belial6 mentioned"

    I'm guessing you can use google as well as I can.

    "without a jailbreak?"

    Oh, you're trying to move the goalposts and attribute words that weren't there before. Carry on, then.

    "...applies only to Android."

    No, it doesn't.

  23. Re:After I cancelled with Netflix on Netflix To Lose 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 2

    Your sarcasm detector is broken.

  24. Re:This pains me on Famous Wildlife Photographer Busted For Using Stock Images · · Score: 2

    "If you're interested in nature photography, do check out his portfolio still."

    But how will I differentiate his real work from the stock photos he claimed were his?

  25. subject on IBM's Watson To Help Diagnose, Treat Cancer · · Score: 2

    ...and then Watson will help the insurance company decide how best to deny coverage for those very same symptoms. Truly a marvel of the technological era!
