Bug or Feature?

There's "google ads" that pop and cover the upper part of damned near every article. If I click the 'x', a white box is left still covering the upper part of the article... Is this me or you?

Al Gore: Stop using the atmosphere as 'an open sewer

Mark 85
WTF?

Follow the money

Before anyone ever takes Al Gore seriously on the environment, they should follow the money. He's profited more from the Global Warning and CO2 "problem" than anyone else.

Bacon sarnies can kill: Official

Hmm... everyone eventually dies. To say "X number of deaths can be prevented" is a false hope of immortality. Bring me my bacon. Bring me my beer. I'm doomed, I know it, and I'm going to enjoy the trip.

Recipe for a bad day: 'State-backed hackers are attacking your PC'

Mark 85
Big Brother

Let's not overlook the obvious

Let's look at "what if" differently. What if there is no attempted hack? What if Google just wants your phone number (more personal data) under the guise of "you need more security"? Everybody want's my damn cell phone number for "security". I gave it one time and suddenly I was riddled with spam calls. pffffftttttttttt....

Punishment to fit the crime?

Jail time alone is hardly fit. Make them put the cable back and then jail time.

British games company says it owns the idea of space marines

Unhappy

So even this is owned by GW?: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/20/us_space_marines_times_secret_is_out/

They must be following the Apple business plan. Grab something "generic" and call it yours. As a former US Marine, I'm wondering if sometime down the timeline if the name will have to be changed to something like "maritime fighter"?

Raise a beer: Titans of tech fill out 'Worst CEOs' list

Mark 85
WTF?

I guess this whole debate revolves around the term "worst". Go read up on the guy who runs DishTV and in some circles he's the worst.

Human Rights Watch proposes new laws of robotics

Mushroom

Laws...?

All well and good except that there are too many people/countries who do not follow "laws". As I recall, suicide bombers and terrorist efforts against civilians is prohibited by the Geneva Convention. Who follows the Geneva Convention anymore? More importantly, unless all parties follow it, then the ones who do are at a disadvantage of the ones who don't.

I forget who said it, but "in a world of barbarians, the only way to have peace is to be the biggest and baddest barbarian". Jihadists/non-Jihadists/any government scream bloody murder when their people are attacked, yet think nothing of attacking other civilians. Another law will mean diddly.

The mushroom cloud... because.
