  1. ...or you can use Citadel - for FREE on Open-source Challenge To Exchange Gains Steam · · Score: 2

    http://citadel.org/ Citadel uses a proper database back-end and can handle terabytes of mail for thousands of users.

  2. Re:How the mighty have fallen... on Sony Sends DMCA Takedown Notice To GitHub · · Score: 1

    Yup, I have only had bad experiences with Sony equipment (TV, DVD player, MP3 player), so now I avoid their devices like the plague.

  3. Re:Steve Jobs on Apple Hints At Near-Field Payments System In Next-Gen iPhone, iPad · · Score: 1

    Sure, but if Al Gore didn't invent the intertubes, then Apple would still have been just another little 2 billion dollar company...

  4. The highest level of achievement! on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, obviously 'Cheater' is the highest level of achievement in the Microsoft Universe. It makes perfect sense in terms of the One Microsoft Way.

  5. 99% of MS profits come from misinformed users... on 60% of AOL's Profits Come From Misinformed Customers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Obligatory MS bashing: How many people would use MS products if they were properly informed of alternatives?

  6. Engineer oversupply on America Losing Its Edge In Innovation · · Score: 1

    Well, for most of my life, I've been knee deep in the 'American engineer shortage'. The fact is that there is an oversupply of engineers in much of the western world and a shortage elsewhere. Currently, I'm living in the Middle East and enjoying a 100% pay raise compared to America.

  7. Cloud computing on Norwegian Police, Seeking Info On 2 Bloggers, Take Data From 7,000 Accounts · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If your data is stored in a cloud, then it is bound to get trawled through multiple times per year due to subpoenas for other people.

  8. Re:So, the biggest threat to airline travel .... on Laser Incidents With Aircraft On the Rise · · Score: 1

    The airport was there first. Now the idiots who built/bought houses around it complain about the noise? Get serious.

  9. Re:Won't that be funny on Biotech Company Making Fossil Fuels With a 'Library' of Bacteria · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is not funny, since real liquid fossil fuels are created by archaea bacteria in the earth crust, with natural gas as input. This is well known, but it is a slow process. There is as much life in the upper 3 kilometers of crust as on top of the surface.

  10. Edmonton is Fscking cold most of the year on Experiment Shows Not Washing Jeans for 15 Months is Disgusting But Safe · · Score: 2

    The U of A is in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. So I guess that 90% of the time his jeans were frozen anyway, not just the short periods in the freezer.

  11. With friends like that... on Catholic Bishops Support Net Neutrality · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With friends like that, who needs enemies?

  12. Insist on FULL compliance with the standard on Australia Mandates Microsoft's Office Open XML · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they insist on actual compliance with the standard, even MS will be out...

  13. Few people are Catholic on Bill Gates Is More Admired Than the Pope · · Score: 1

    Well duh - few people are Catholic and their numbers are ever dwindling. The Paap also hasn't done anything even remotely useful either. So no surprise there. I would also rate O'l Billybob much higher than the Paap, even though I avoid using stuff made by his old company as far as possible and don't agree with his business methods. I would even rate O'l pyramid scheme Madof higher than the Paap. Coming to think of it, even the old CEO of Enron is/was better than the Paap.

  14. Drill baby drill... on The Prospects For Lunar Mining · · Score: 1

    The moon is still warm inside, so if one would drill a deep enough hole, one would probably find water, oil and gas, same as on earth.

  15. Re:We should remember this next time on Goldman Sachs Says No Facebook Shares For US Investors · · Score: 1

    ...and note that the debt to GDP ratio of the PIIGS are *better* that of the USA. Compared to the PIIGS, the USA is a mismanaged banana republic.

  16. Slanted population sample on New Study Links Video Games and Mental Problems · · Score: 1

    Maybe it is because normal people do not play video games... (ducks!)

  17. Black screen of death on EC Tests Show Windows Vista Is Above Average — At Blocking Content · · Score: 2

    Yah, nothing gets past the Vista black screen...

  18. Sirius Cybernetics Drinks O'Matic on Taiwan Develops Face-Recognition Vending Machine · · Score: 1

    I suppose that whatever you attempt to order from the Drinks O'Matic dispenser will be carefully tuned to provide the exact required nutrients based on your species, genetic makeup and whether you still have a hangover from the previous night's party, judging by the prominence of the bags under your eyes and the resulting elixir will taste almost exactly, but not quite unlike tea...

  19. Dumbass on Man Mines Facebook For Security Questions, Nabs Nude Photos From Email · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why go to all that trouble to find nude pics when you can get all the nude pics and live webcams you want on the net without any hacking required?

  20. Re:Hmmm... not extinct at all... on Extinct Mammoth, Coming To a Zoo Near You · · Score: 1

    Just go downtown and have a look around. Neandertals are not extinct at all...

  21. Re:Low success rate? on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 0

    Oh yeah? Who says those 500 children wanted to be found? These busybodies may just be ruining the lives of 500 children each year, who were happily living with their divorced fathers, after the courts awarded them to their neurotic, bipolar mothers. So now you want to ruin the lives of more children? That enormous number - 800,000 - should be a giant CLUE that there is something broken in the system somewhere.

  22. Children are 'abducted' by their own parents on AMBER Alert Partners With Facebook · · Score: 2

    Most of these 800,000 are children who move across state lines with a divorced parent. The root problem is that the courts award children to the wrong parent - almost always the mother. Frequently, the mother is the cause of the whole problem and the children do not want to live with her.

  23. First decide what result you want... on Running Your Own Ghost Investigation? · · Score: 1

    First, you got to decide what you want the outcome of the investigation to be:
    Piss off all your relatives and friends who strongly believe in ghosts
    Piss off religious people who all mildly believe in ghosts
    Create a media sensation, publish a TV series and make money from it
    Write a ghost story book to make money from it
    Corroborate what all scientists already know - that there are no ghosts

    Only then you can decide what to do, measure and photograph...

  24. Re:Why does this code even exist? on PHP Floating Point Bug Crashes Servers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but C wasn't invented here....

  25. These gov employees are high-tech terrorists... on Spoofed White House Card Dupes Many Gov't Employees, Steals Data · · Score: 1

    They should be charged with sexual crimes and placed under house arrest forthwith...
