  1. Re:any evidence on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 5, Funny
    Dude, the DOW closed up 900 points yesterday. It's fixed man!

    I'm so happy I'm going to go get a second sub-prime mortgage!

  2. sniff away on Tech Giants In Human Rights Deal · · Score: 2, Funny

    a secret room where the government sniffs our packets.

    I plan on not showering so I can have the most skid-marked packets for their sniffing pleasure.

    As for China, I'm sure they'll just going to go along with this. That's what they usually do in reply to any external pressure regarding online rights. They just didn't realize the errors of their ways!

  3. Re:Plus ? on Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features · · Score: 1

    Wow Windows Plus!, what a forgotten binary abortion... Nothing like an animated butterfly cursor to brighten up ones day and slow down ones system! Thanks for reminding me.

  4. Ummm... on Alarm Raised On Teenage Hackers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    many are largely unskilled and thus more likely to get caught and arrested.

    Problem solved?

  5. Wish I could participate... on Windows 7 To Dial Down UAC · · Score: 4, Funny
    ...but I'm still running my beloved XP which they will have to pry from my cold, dead, outdated hard drive. Or, you know, unless Windows 7 is awesome.

    I couldn't be happier not having experienced the headaches mentioned in this article.

  6. Re:Rule #1 on Spammer Perjury is Worth Prosecuting · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know what you're talking about. I totally got a huge hard extra 3-5 inches!

  7. Nobody mentioned needles on Good Books On Programming With Threads? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Working with threads! Get it! BA-ZING! Sorry. I'm not a programmer. Clearly.

  8. damn NSA on NSA Open Sources Tokeneer Research Project · · Score: 1

    How'd they know I did some Token'-eer research last night?

  9. Dude on Scientists Claim Breakthrough On Holographic Display · · Score: 4, Funny

    R2-D2 had this shit down a long time ago.

  10. Too bad on Commerce Department Pushing For New "Copyright Czar" · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's too bad that one of the jobs lost wasn't Uwe Boll's. I'm just sayin'.

  11. I think I can already do that on Cell Chip Coming To the PC Via a PCI Express Card · · Score: 1, Informative

    The chip is capable of encoding and decoding H.264, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video streams in hardware.

    Don't video cards do that? or does this thing just sorta add juice to your system?

    I WANT THIS TO BE AWESOME but I'm just a bit underwhelmed.

  12. Re:Complete Shutdown of iTunes Music Store? on Looming Royalty Decision Threatens iTunes Store, Apple Hints · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, the music industry hasn't exactly made the best moves regarding new technology and distribution methods. They could just be stupid enough to refuse to sell though iTunes if they don't get what they want...

  13. So.. on Do We Live In a Giant Cosmic Bubble? · · Score: 1

    "If we lived in a very large under-density, then the space-time itself wouldn't be accelerating," said researcher Timothy Clifton of Oxford University in England. "It would just be that the observations, if interpreted in the usual way, would look like they were."

    So... they're not then?

  14. Re:Fuck the police on MI6 Terror Photos, Data Accidentally Sold On Ebay · · Score: 1

    That would have been a bad day to have mp3s or questionable porn on his computer!

  15. Nice. on Steam To Begin Hosting Game Mods · · Score: 1

    That should improve compatibility for some of these mods. Nothing more annoying than trying to connect to a server and having to wait to download the latest version. Ok well there are more annoying things, but I'm just sayin'

  16. Re:Whatever. on AMD Graphics Chips Could Last 10X To 100X Longer · · Score: 1

    Hey unless my SLI nVidia cards die before I upgrade in another 6 months to a year, who cares? I didn't read TFA, but if we're talking 1 year vs 100 years, I couldn't care less. They work, they're fast and stable.

  17. Re:grossly wasted money on Lockheed Gets $485M From NASA To Create MAVEN Craft · · Score: 1

    Seems like me with my student loans... I owe so God damned much, why not just buy this second SLI video card? It's not like $300 is going to make a noticeable dent in my loans and getting a new video card would be REALLY fun!

  18. Possible on Zero Day Threat · · Score: 1
    While I'm sure idiocy plays into some of the security practices, it's likely that the practices are calculated. The money they make via "unsecure" administration, extending credit, etc., might greatly outweigh the cost of having to cover fraudulent purchases/reimbursements/ID theft and things of that nature. Just an idea.

    Corporate greed has a way of coming out on top, even when practices look stupid. They are making their money, even if our IDs are at risk. Which, you know, is clearly bullshit.

  19. Re:iPhone on Making Mobile Presentations Without a Laptop? · · Score: 1

    Hey man thanks. Fanbois out there don't like people saying anything negative about the iPhone. I mean it's awesome but my roommate has one and says that it actually sucks as a phone (although everything else is so cool that he doesn't care). I'm glad at least one person got my point!

  20. iPhone on Making Mobile Presentations Without a Laptop? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm pretty sure that baby can do EVERYTHING! Right? Right?

  21. I always want a new cool game but... on Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release · · Score: 1

    reluctant antihero and art thief

    Really?

  22. Re:Satellite Radio is a joke on Sirius, XM Merger Gets FCC Approval · · Score: 2, Interesting

    *Major genres unrepresented. *Station playlists that would become predictable within a week. *Sub-genres within all genres utterly unrepresented in general (for example, one Metal station on all of Sirius, and it only plays death metal). *A whole slew of stations essentially devoted to playing the exact same stuff that you hear on standard Top 40 radio. *Commercials, despite being advertised as commercial-free. *Annoying DJs (the receivers display the name/artist playing, you do NOT need DJs trying to be funny between every song). *Oh, and a monthly fee on top of that.

    Unfortunately, consumer demand drives it. People listen to what's comfortable. I don't understand why the top40 stations are some of the most popular. Even the "indie" and punk stations play all the same crap. It's clearly selling though.

  23. nice work on Telecom Immunity Bill Hides Spying Provisions · · Score: 0

    well shit if they were trying to hide it and people find it, I say nice spy work.

  24. Re:Really hate those "domesday" predictions.... on Cable-Laying Boom Will Boost Internet Capacity · · Score: 1

    Yeah well it's not going to NOW! Jeez didn't you read the story? :)

  25. Great on Cable-Laying Boom Will Boost Internet Capacity · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess there's not much to say except 1) yay, the internet is not going to reach capacity and 2) now I won't have to worry about going back to magazines for pr0n. Much easier to clear your cache and history than finding a good wife/girlfriend/son proof hiding spot at the house.
