  1. Re:From the company that brought you.. on Sony Insurer Suing To Deny Data Breach Coverage · · Score: 1

    Or you could just hit Ctrl-U from about any modern browser.
    Or F12 in Chrome to bring up the included developer tools.

  2. Re:Regression testing on Dropbox Password Goof Let Any Password Work For 4 Hours · · Score: 1

    <sarcasm>It obviously works well enough to keep your XML tags matched.</sarcasm>

  3. Re:How do they handle... on ERP Vendors Get Into Medical Marijuana Business · · Score: 1

    I believe it caught a cold around 1861, but actually died in 1865.

  4. Re:He's right on SugarCRM 6 Released, But Is It Open Source? · · Score: 1

    Citations for that claim?

  5. Re:It works in Safari... on Apple's HTML5 and Standards Gallery Not Standard · · Score: 1

    Yeah, yeah it is. Apple doesn't give you the option of trying to view it in another browser -- you are presented with a box saying "You'll need to download Safari to view this demo."

  6. Re:Sounds unreasonable on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, nerd rage about spelling only sometimes.

  7. Re:I'm afraid of generalization on Photographers Want Their Cut From Google's Ebooks · · Score: 1

    ... (sometimes, people give their works away for free, or copyright expires).

    Yeah, I used to believe in fairy tails too.

  8. Re:When do people get this on 86% of Windows 7 PCs Maxing Out Memory · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Barth acknowledged that XPnet's data couldn't determine whether the memory usage was by the operating system itself, or an increased number of applications.
    So yeah, it doesn't seem like the author really knows what's going on...

  9. Re:Biased Reports? on Studies Find Harm From Cellular and Wi-Fi Signals · · Score: 1

    This is a perfect example of how "-1: Troll" has become "-1: I Disagree With Your Unpopular Stance"

  10. You don't always pay full price for notebooks on The Future of Subnotebook Pricing · · Score: 1

    the successful pricing model for 'mini me too' laptops will look nothing like the notebook pricing model (where you always pay full price for the hardware)
    I know that as recently as two years ago when I was working for Circuit City, we would discount laptops up to $150 off of the price we paid just to get people in the door -- and hopefully sell some warranties, accessories, and services (our real money-makers).
    I'm just pointing out that we've already hit the point the author was talking about in notebooks, too.
  11. Re:Exaggeration? Naaah. on Hotmail Delivers Far Fewer Emails with Attachments · · Score: 1
    RTFA yourself. The article specifically states that emails vanish in transit.

    The emails simply vanish in transit. No mailer daemon, no bounces, no nothing.
  12. Re:we all know on Star Wars Virgin Takes the Plunge · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Of course, the real reason you need to watch them IV-VI then I-III is so that you like Star Wars enough to make it through the prequels.
    Agreed.
  13. Pardon the slippery slope... on RIAA President Decries Fair Use · · Score: 1

    but how long will it be before they determine that fair use doesn't allow you to watch a movie with your significant other unless you both separately purchase copies of the movie? How about saying you can't play your own CDs in your car unless you have no passengers with you, or all your friends have already purchased their copy of the CD? I can't see that campaign being too far away.

  14. Re:Censorship on YouTube Removal Highlights Media Self-Censorship · · Score: 1

    If by "censorship" you mean a network catering to its clientele, then yeah, maybe it's censorship.
