  1. Re:interesting program name on Text Compressor 1% Away From AI Threshold · · Score: 1

    Logically that's really not attacking his statement. Mutually exclusive means two things can't be true at the same time, they COULD both be false though.

  2. Re:obHumor on Hans Reiser Interview from Prison · · Score: 1

    I had to stop reading after that line, it's just so insufferably tacky.

  3. Re:this is a non-event on The Pirate Bay To Create YouTube Competitor · · Score: 1

    I just love the way Americans immediately think of porn when someone says "censorship". I just love the irony in the fact that your generalized, completely pejorative comment trying to make Americans look stupid just makes you look like a moron. I understand American bashing is in style, but it's getting ridiculous.

  4. Feasibility on Japanese Mileage Maniacs · · Score: 1

    Getting hybrid cars to get higher mileage is simply a matter of running batteries to lower than 96% or whatever they're kept at normally. This drastically reduces the lifespan, and is the reason that they don't do it in the first place in the factory; Supporting it would cost too much down the road for the car companies.

  5. Re:worried about what? on Cuban v. EFF lawyer on YouTube, DMCA · · Score: 1

    Word on the street is that there are other sites, and means, to share video online.

  6. Re:misguided? on US Leads the World In Malware Creation · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't happen to know which law it falls under in the United States would you? My point about automatic updates was that there must be a definition somewhere saying "this is illegal, however software like this is not illegal." He's calling people criminals, so wouldn't that imply that there is a law criminalizing these people? I just want to know what it is.

  7. Re:misguided? on US Leads the World In Malware Creation · · Score: 1

    Ah, I was thinking of adware. Not meaning to be a fanboy, but I've run linux and os x since windows 95 and I don't think I've ever had malware on one of my machines - although I suppose I wouldn't know, since I don't really look for it either.

  8. misguided? on US Leads the World In Malware Creation · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Scratch a criminal, and sometimes you find a misguided entrepreneur, looking to get rich a little too quick.
    Is malware even illegal? How is malware different from say, an automatic update or some other less than desirable software? Just because something is annoying doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal and that the author is a criminal.

  9. Re:You forgot one on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's sad that one can actually secure a patent on something like that.

  10. Re:It's all about bandwidth on Laptops with Big RAM? · · Score: 0

    I'm going to guess that if a big hard drive doesn't suffice, then the latency between a web server and his laptop would be far too bad.

  11. Fan base on Why Do Games Sell? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been a casual player of GTA for years, and I imagine a well established fan base is a huge factor.

  12. [OT] but ... on Mash Apache Derby with New OpenOffice 2.0 feature · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If vim can't do it, is it really that useful? *wink*

  13. Re:There must be a typo. on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What's more, it was "sprawling government project" and "strangling innovation" which carry enough pejorative connotation to make the juxtaposition permissible.

  14. Re:Handing MS a huge victory on a platter on Novell May be Banned from Distributing Linux · · Score: 0

    I imagine most companies that employ OS software at the moment understand the community better than that. There's no reason to stop using server software that has been working for 5/10+ years because some desktop software and 1 distro are suddenly having troubles.

  15. Japanese on Apple Mac/PC Ads With a UK Twist · · Score: -1, Redundant

    There are of course, also the Japanese mac ads as well.
    http://www.apple.com/jp/getamac/ads/

  16. what? on Something in Your Food is Moving · · Score: 0

    $100 million dollars? Poor people have had stuff moving in their food for years.

  17. Dual Booting? on Apple to Charge for Boot Camp? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Inconsequential. Dual booting is *so* 2005.
    Nobody even turns off their macs anymore, much less boots into a different OS.

  18. Re:Mega IT projects suck on New Plan In UK For "Big Brother" Database · · Score: 1

    $100 million is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of American government money-wasting.

  19. Well on NASA May Have Killed The Martians · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've seen "Mars Attacks!" Better them than us.

  20. I guess on Bill Gates on Robots · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's all fun and games until the robots become hot asian girls, indistinguishable from humans, and pop out half cylon half human babies that can cure cancer. That's when the crap hits the proverbial fan. Bill has already requested a patent.

  21. Re:Why Perl? on Roomba + Wii remote + Perl = Awesome · · Score: 1

    I would love to see this processor with the virtual machine wired directly in allowing interpreted languages for system code. I imagine it's hard to catch interrupts before your virtual machine has loaded otherwise.

  22. Re:Anybody got an RFID detector? on Disabling the RFID in the New U.S. Passports · · Score: 1

    Yes.

  23. Re:Cheap hardware? on China Readies Royalty-Free DVD Format · · Score: 3, Informative

    I hope this is a joke. China is one of he worst offenders against humanity on earth.

  24. Re:Only the small ones ? on NASA Detects Meteoric Rise In Lunar Meteors · · Score: 1

    Screw sex, I want a PS3.

  25. Re:No on Microsoft Cheaper For Web Serving? · · Score: 1

    That's why you run OS X on a pretty little laptop, and compare closed source and OSS solutions and if the OSS version is better, you apt-get it in 10 seconds with fink.
