Sep 18th 2008 12:12PM Check the lifehacker comments - looks like this servvice captures all of your information, transactions, gifts, and data from other stores and sends it to Best Buy. It may not worry some folks, but it's good to know up front.

Apr 1st 2008 6:49PM And it's a ridiculous point, at that.

People don't need YOUR morality or some supernatural morality IMPOSED on them in order to know right from wrong. We all need morality, we don't all have to agree on where it comes from or how many morals were chiseled into a stone or what book it comes from.

Future kids will have morals just fine. If anything it's this henny-penny-the-sky-is-falling mentality that's contributing to this kind of behavior. As long as these people (and I assure you, they're not all "kids") continue to feel like the only ones raising their voices against them are the angry old folks shouting about "kids today" and "getting off their lawn" and that "internet thing," then they'll keep it up, if for no other reason than to piss you off. Liberalism isn't the problem here, it's closed-mindedness, as I think we can see on both sides of the line, if from nothing else than your knee-jerk reaction to this horrible attack.

Jan 17th 2008 10:34PM Honestly Ronulans, when are you all going to get it through your heads:

No. One. Cares. About. Ron. Paul.

He's going to lose the primary, he's going to lose your inevitable, sad, write-in campaign, and he won't be president. Sorry, but the lot of you need beating with the reality stick.

N. Dakota Judge rules that "host -l" command constitutes hacking (Download Squad)

Jan 17th 2008 10:26PM This is NORTH DAKOTA. There's nothing liberal about that state, or the boobs in office there. Honestly, you could read a little about American politics before slamming them. In all honesty the judge probably was appointed, not even elected.

At the same time, gg North Dakota.

The iPhone is a $500 YouTube player (Download Squad)

Jun 20th 2007 11:15PM Except that you're forgetting that YouTube videos on the iPhone won't be in flash, but H.264, which offers better quality, and could very well herald longer form content on the iPhone and every other mobile device.

Apple gets YouTube to do something first, opens it up to the world, and people spit on it. When everyone is eventually watching moronic cat videos on their Zunes and mobile phones in high quality instead of grainy-ass flash, maybe someone will appreciate Apple's early move, iPhone or no iPhone.

Map of the Blogosphere (Download Squad)

Apr 24th 2007 10:21AM Actually, sounds like the first person made no such intellectual commentary whatsoever, and \/\/ came back with some interesting commentary about the right's so-called "discussion." Sorry, but what the map really says to me is that there are a few popular resources that people flock to on the intellectual left, while the smaller, right-wing sites wind up feeding on their own tails with a small, relatively ignorant set of readers who essentially all link to one another and say the same things. We all know that in American politics, right-wing political blogging is essentially dominated by talking points issued from the RNC every morning anyway.

It takes the political left on the blogosphere to actually draw intellectual commentary and popular viewership. It's also worth mentioning that more left-wing political blogs, the Daily KOS included, are community authored, where tons of people can come and pen their own articles and offer up their own commentary to be shared with readers, something that the banner waving conservative authors can't claim. They're too busy deleting comments from people who disagree with them to participate in any such "dialogue."

GAIM becomes Pidgin IM (Download Squad)

Apr 10th 2007 10:29AM I love the folks who think it's a silly name. The name has its own meaning that's actually very fitting for an IM client:
