  1. Re:why bother? on How Encrypted Binaries Work In Mac OS X · · Score: 0

    Technically better? Whats this open source technology thats better then Spotlight? (We'll leave CoreData, CoreImage and CoreAudio for another day)

  2. Re:RoR bandwagon? on Apple Unveils Extra Leopard-isms To Developers · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is sort of what EOF/WebObjects is for, which is also free as of some time earlier this year. I think its still all Java though, heres hoping Leopard brings ObjC support

  3. Re:Does it support WPA-PSK out of the box? on Fedora Core 6 Review · · Score: 0

    And what about audio? I was tinkering with this earlier today and was soooo close to deciding that it was better then Windows Vista RC2, when the audio suddenly cut out! So I went looking around the system and read the logs, and I saw the following entry:

    Oct 25 20:42:43 msrep-dev01 kernel[0]: Jazz-pipes have become clogged

    Now I'm the first to admit I'm not a Linux power user but I assume that this is the cause? I heard sometimes the kernel gets garbage collected, is this a symptom?

  4. Who the hell are you? on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 0

    And what exactly makes you less of a sheep then everyone else in America? Is it because you pirate your music and movies instead of paying for them?

  5. Just not funny on The 20 Worst Games Ever · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It might also have been more readable if Seanbaby wasn't a complete cretin. Look at me complain using all the grown up swear words I know! Look at the completely unfunny and desperately strained metaphors I conjure up! Look how I write with scathing, biting cynicism! No you don't, you're an unfunny twat who sounds like a twelve year old completely failing to emulate the Filthy Critic.

  6. Indeed on A Single Pixel Camera · · Score: 1

    Absolutey, but then you have a larger aperture, and hence less depth of field. You can't beat the uncertainty principle!

  7. Huh?! on A Single Pixel Camera · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What the hell are you on about? Low light capability? Which one of your inbred brother/father/mother's asses did you pull that fact from? Do you have any idea how a camera works? What an aperture is? How the hell can a single pixel sensor without a light-gathering lens perform well in low light? Without lenses, the 'aperture' of your camera is going to be the size of the pixel, so yes you will get extraordinary focus but appalling performance in low light. Ignoring the sensitivity of the detector, there will always be a tradeof between depth of field and light sensitivity. This is basic photography, and also basic sampling/information theory.

  8. Who cares? on Howard Stern Coming To the Net · · Score: 1

    Now, if Howard Stern was to release his own iPod killer, then I would be interested!

  9. Re:= instant rootkit! on OSX To Feature Portable User Accounts? · · Score: 1

    Hi! I use Linux! Its really great! Can I have some mod-points too? I was going to put some sarcastic geek tought talk in here too but I can't think of any.

  10. Re:Coercion? on Vista DRM Prevents Kernel Tampering · · Score: 1

    Wow, you're a total fucking idiot, or deliberately misleading people who won't know better. In most modern operating systems, the chances of your average tinkering hobbyist needing a driver to run in kernel space is very low, especially for shit like a NES controller. Last time I checked, inp() and outp() didn't require ring-0. And you talk about FUD,,,

  11. Re:The old screen pull down trick? on CEO of Amiga, Inc. Interviewed · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, it wasn't possible, but the Amiga still did it, thats how good it was!

  12. Re:Waste of Time on Windows Vista RC2 Available · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No it wasn't, you're first thought was "oh excellent a Vista article, another chance to karma whore with some tired geek tough talk about how I don't care about Vista, the OS I will be pirating the moment it is released!"

  13. *Crafting* a web page? on Hackers claim zero-day flaw in Firefox · · Score: 0, Funny

    Why do they all say this in vulenrability reports? Do hackers carve their pages out of stone or something? Do they whittle them out of sticks? It makes me fucking sick!

  14. Re:Why? on Apple iTunes Upsampling Higher Resolution Videos? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Apple doesn't do the upsampling, their content providers do. Blame Apple for not putting more pressure on them (although Apple are still in the 'beggars cant be choosers' stage here, so they probably cant put any pressure on at all), blame the providers for crappy quality.

  15. Re:Christopher Eccleston, best Dr., Evah on Doctor Who Makes Guinness Book of World Records · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The current guy is fucking awful though. I mean the show is pretty shit, but his annoying pouting makes it unbearable.

  16. Vaguely relevant Simpsons quote on OpenSSL Hit by Forgery Bug · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Bart: Homer, how can this be possible? Homer: Fire up the klystron, Bart, theres only two days left Bart: Lisa, is this true? Lisa: I've run out of garlic, someone go and get some more Maggie: Its in the greenhouse, but I can't go in, I'm allergic to trowels Homer: D'oh!

  18. Microsoft(TM) Glans Management Unit(TM) unveiled! on Mistrust of Today's Technology · · Score: -1, Troll

    Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! As we approach the launch of the new Vista(TM) operating system from Microsoft(TM), it is my pleasure to begin previewing some of the amazing new technology Vista(TM) has allowed us to create.

    I'm sure many of you men have gotten up in the middle of the night, maybe after a brief session of masturbation or having sex with your wife, and have gone to the toilet in a slightly befuddled state. It's dark, you need the toilet, and you're not keeping your foreskin under control and/or there is debris located in your Glans; what happens? Multiple, uncontrolled urine streams. Urine on the toilet seat, the floor, maybe even your legs or feet. Only last night, after making love to my wife some hours before, was I in the toilet. Lubrication was still present on my foreskin, and midway into releaving myself, my fingers lost traction and I was unable to maintain proper control. I counted no less then six (6) streams of urine! We can fly men to the moon, but improper foreskin control/dirt lodged in Glans still causes us no end of embarrasment (or dark stains on the carpet!)

    Well, those days are over! Here at Microsoft(TM), thanks to the Enabling Technologies(TM) within the new Vista(TM) operating system, we have created the Solution(TM) to your problems, and we are proud to announce it today; The Microsoft(TM) Glans Management System(TM). Load the software onto your Vista(TM)-enabled PC, and connect the Glans Management Unit(TM) via either USB or USB2 (not Firewire), and urinate without fear. No matter the state of your Glans, the rifled chrome funnel at the heart of the Windows Genuine Advantage(TM) enabled Glans Management Unit(TM) effortlessly re-aligns urine streams that are off course by as much as 274 degrees! Retailing for just $299, space age hardware and innovative Microsoft(TM) software come together again to provide a reliable, robust Solution(TM).
