  I should have noticed. I quickly read the comment without noting the username or /hardtroll. Something about the comment sent my brain into a tailspin, where reason and logic did not prevail. I will do better in the future. :)

  This comment made my brain explode. Apparently it could not digest the absurdity in this comment.
  
  I am hoping it is sarcasm.

  on Applying Apple's Design Sense To Other Items... Like The Thermostat
  I went through one of their tutorials when it was first announced and it shows that you can view the the week on a graph of temp vs time. This shows the basic times you adjusted the temps, but it doesn't let you get to the optimum start/stop functions. That is the stuff I would like to see.

  I actually think that the "learning" part of the thermostat will save you money. Most people I know with programmable thermostats still use it manually and never bother trying to figure out how to schedule/adjust it. After using the learning thermostat for a few days, it starts anticipating your schedule and adjusts accordingly.

  on Bank Sends Confidential Email To Wrong Address, Hauls Google To Court To Figure Out Who Got The Email
  Chances are the person that received it thought it was just phishing emails and deleted both emails without much thought.

  on Austin Police Chief To Go After Anonymous Commenters
  @Misanthropist My experience has been the exact opposite. I had absolute trust in police officers as an adolescent. It was later in life when I developed my distrust. I now believe they are glorified tax collectors.

  Apology Comment

  on Lily Allen, Don't Apologize To Me, Apologize To Everyone Else
  I found this comment to her blog apology amusing: love said... Also funny: The use of the word 'acquired' as opposed to the word COPYING. Is it 'acquiring' when someone downloads a Lilly Allen album from BitTorrent? :) September 22, 2009 2:21 AM

  on Consumer Group Wants ACTA Discussions Stopped Until Consumer Rights Are Represented In Negotiations
  I have to agree with AC. This is a great comment. Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be true.

  on Watchmen Producer Explains Why Fox Doesn't Deserve A Cut
  It seems to me the logical aproach would be for Warner to merely reimburse Fox for what they paid for their movie rights. It makes no sense for them to get a percentage of profits from the movie, they had nothing to do with.

  This way they wouldn't have to have their customers send in their little data trackers, they could just ask the government for the info and force everyone to use this service.
  
  I fear privacy is a thing of the past.
