• On the post: Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt

  The peanut-butter-pie comment was funny, but taken logically, it bugs me. An allergy isn't analogous at all to cell phone data caps. I apologize if it seems like I'm trying to pick nits, it's just that it really bugs me in the way that crookedly-hung photos bug some people.

• On the post: Awesome Stuff: Rethinking The Mouse (Finally!)

  

  crashsuit ( profile ), 11 Mar, 2013 @ 11:31am

  My main takeaway from the comments is that people who don't like wireless mice really, REALLY don't like wireless mice, almost as if they've been personally offended or insulted somehow.
  
  I understand your differing preferences, but the arguments people are using against them went out the window years ago, for the most part.
  
  I have a bluetooth mouse that never needs re-syncing, lasts for months on 2 rechargeable AAA batteries, works over a great distance, has a high degree of accuracy, works well for gaming, and costs under $20. Going wireless also saves me quite a bit of time and hassle, as I never have to plug or unplug it, nor wind or unwind a cable.
  
  My recommendation is that if you're ever willing to give wireless mice another shot, and buy one from a reputable brand such as Lenovo, Microsoft, or Logitech, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

  Spammers are going to love being able to send "YOU'BE BEEN SERVED" messages to force people to click malicious URLs.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  There are still quite a number of important differences between the parties, such as their opinions on gun regulation, reproductive rights, separation of church and state, LGBT rights, taxes on the rich, corporate rights, environmental protections, and clean energy. The Dems haven't had such a great record on some important things lately, but I still wouldn't be so hasty to lump both parties together.

  Sure, people in 3rd-world countries SAY they're starving, but how much more food could they want if they barely eat anything as it is?

• On the post: RIAA: Google Isn't Trying Hard Enough To Make Piracy Disappear From The Internet

  

  crashsuit ( profile ), 21 Feb, 2013 @ 11:09am

  Did the RIAA even try searching for [artist] [album] buy? I just tried "buy bieber music online" and the top 10 listings were legit sites. As dim as they are, even they should realize "buy" will return significantly different search results than "download".

  There are some really amazing-looking games these days for higher-end Android devices - World of Goo, N.O.V.A. 3, Mass Effect: Infiltrator, Asphalt 7, Need For Speed, etc., but many of them will eat up between 150MB and 2GB of storage space. If you use your tablet for gaming, 8GB can fill up fast.

  Re: Signing up

  Now, I'm not saying I *condone* this, but *apparently* the "name" field on that signup form is pretty long, and will easily accept a huge fake name that will take longer to read. Also the "email" field *supposedly* will accept any old made-up email address when you submit your info.
