  1. Sensationalist. on Britain's Broadband Censors: a Bunch of Students · · Score: 0

    Inflammatory summary, why is being a student a bad thing? Also if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

  2. Re:Solves some big problems, creates new small one on Amazon Pushes For National Internet Sales Tax · · Score: 0

    This would not change the 10,000+ sets of rules and rates. It would add another for internet sales. So you would now have 10,001+. This would be a new tax, good luck getting that passed in a down economy.

  3. Re:Not suprising when we offshore everything on British CS Majors Doing Badly In the Jobs Market · · Score: 0

    The seen costs are smaller, but the unseen costs are much higher. If you offshore your development, the cost for that would be lower. However, the product will not be to the specs you need or want, and the support department for the software will have an increased cost of supporting said product. You will also lose customer satisfaction and customer references, which causes your business to grow slower than if you had complete control over your product. This applies somewhat to inhouse applications. The increased cost of support, and crazy Sys Admin gymnastics needed to keep the application running will cause other issues. Possibly causing top talent to find a new job because of the idiotic software they had to deal with.

    You even said that with a straight face... Bravo!

  5. Re:Let me get this right on The Least Amount of Exercise Needed To Extend Life · · Score: 0

    If you exercise, your quality of life in your later years will be much higher as well. No exercise, means you will need a walker by the time you are 50!

    Yours or theirs?

  7. Re:for all intensive purposes....you are right on Cop Seeks Wiretapping Charges For Woman Who Videotaped Beating · · Score: 0

    I know you are being funny, but I still must correct your misuse. intents and purposes There, now carry on with your willful butchery.

  8. Re:LOL, "really inflammatory, inaccurate" messages on UK Police Arrest 12 Over Facebook Use Inciting Riots · · Score: 1

    We have never had complete freedom to say whatever we want. Threatening someone with bodily harm is still against the law. Yelling FIRE in a crowded theater is still against the law.

  9. Re:Weapons don't have to contain explosives on DARPA Loses Contact With Hypersonic Glider · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter where in the world you are, if it is going Mach 20 and has you in its sites, you and everyone around you is toast.

  10. Re:How were electric cars EVER supposed to work? on Smart Power Grid Could Wreak Havoc On Itself · · Score: 1

    Compiler error, end ")" missing.

  11. Re:ho hum on The Oslo Massacre and Violent Video Games: the Facts · · Score: 1

    Sadly, the kids on the island who I am guessing at least some of them played violent video games, didn't use that knowledge to take out the gunman. I don't know the situation on the island, but I would rather die trying to kill my attacker than while running away. Reminds me of the VT shootings.

  12. 2030 Is too long... on Japan Plans a Moonbase by 2030 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows that the universe ends in 2012...
