  1. Re:this makes absolutely no sense on 100 P2P Users Upload 75% of Content · · Score: 1

    that makes even less sense. if people were funneling all the bittorrent traffic into 100 ip addresses, bittorrent would be useless. there's no way 100 proxies can handle 75% of all the bittorrent traffic (which is like 20% of the entire internet traffic)

  2. this makes absolutely no sense on 100 P2P Users Upload 75% of Content · · Score: 1

    Ignoring all the contradictions from the article, look up any popular movie on any bittorrent site and there's tens of thousands of people downloading it. Are they saying it's the same 100 guys downloading the same file over and over?

  3. I've been to 3D cinemas on 3D Cinema Doesn't Work and Never Will · · Score: 1

    they work.

  4. Isn't Mininova ALL fake? on Third of Content On Popular BT Portals Are Fake · · Score: 1

    or was there another reason why people stopped using it a couple of years ago? (I forgot) I'm not sure where these guys got the idea that it's a "major bittorrent portal", it hasn't been for a long time..

  5. Re:Polarity? on Unwise — Search History of Murder Methods · · Score: 2

    It's easy, you just couple the plasma relay through the auxiliary photon subcircuits. Any Vulcan child could do it.

  6. You know the saying on Real-Life Frogger Ends In Hospital Visit · · Score: 2

    If you die in real life, you die in the game.

  7. please don't on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 5, Insightful

    if "remake" means "slow it and dumb it down so that people can play it with console controllers" then please don't do it

  8. It was boring, and then it went away on BSG Prequel Series Caprica Canceled · · Score: 1

    after like 10 episodes it disappeared, and when it came back I had forgotten about it. the did that with BSG, but BSG had a lot of hype going for it, Caprica didn't. The only thing in the show that promised to be interesting (Tamara Adama in crazy virtual gangster world) turned out to be a waste of time storyline, so who cares?

  9. Re:I never knew... on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 1

    Italy has a church that *is* a state. It's called the vatican

  10. Re:I never knew... on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 1

    I was at first, but then I realized that they have kings too, so there's probably also a line that says "payment to maintain the king's solid gold toilet", and stuff like that.

  11. wtf?! how do you "join" them in the first place? on Internet Dismantling the State Church In Finland · · Score: 1

    I'm reading everyone's version of what you need to do to "resign" your church in each country, and I can't believe it, but more importantly, how do you "join" them in the first place? why are you all official members of an organization that you want to leave so desperately? I mean, I was baptized by my parents when I was 2 (and I have to baptize my goddaughter next month, I'm still trying to convince her mother not to do it), but I have no obligations to the catholic church, it doesn't exist to me, and I couldn't care less if they count me as a member or not, in fact I'm pretty sure I'm going to hell according to their rules, and I don't care. Why is there a need to "resign"? what does it mean to be a part of the church in all these countries?

  12. viral video idea on Study Shows Babies Think Friendly Robots Are Sentient · · Score: 1

    the first scientist to upload video of a baby playing with a (friendly) robot wins 20 million youtube views (whatever that's worth). I'd watch.

  13. Re:I was just talking to a lady on Dogs Can Be Pessimistic · · Score: 1

    cool story bro

  14. Re:Have you ever met? on Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS · · Score: 1

    I've met a bunch of people who tell themselves that to keep feeling superior to them

  15. Re:Communicate first? on Can We Travel To That Exciting New Exoplanet? · · Score: 1

    this sounds like the kind of cheesy thing where they send pictures of a bunch of ethnic kids holding hands. it'd be interesting to send something like a sequence of pulses indicating prime numbers or something like that, which can easily stand out from random noise. Also, keep transmitting for a long period of time, they might not be listening.

  16. Re:I still can't believe on The Binary Code In Canada's Gov-Gen Coat of Arms · · Score: 1

    International Respectability as a sovereign nation

    isn't the guy's job to represent the queen of england in canada? what's sovereign about that?

  17. Re:that doesn't make sense on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    That's wonderful, but you're still talking as if there's only one side of the war. There could be a guy on the other side saying the exact same things about you.

  18. Re:that doesn't make sense on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    That's irrelevant, the families themselves are not playing the game, they're complaining that random people can pick up the game and play as taliban soldiers. I doubt the families of the US soldiers even *want* to play the games, they're just complaining about it.

  19. that doesn't make sense on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm sick of people pretending the war has only one side. Where are the families of the dead Taliban soldiers, who are logically just as offended by the ability to play as a US soldier? don't they have a "voice" too? or it it ok to disrespect people as long as you're on the right side?

  20. FOR FREE OMG on Google URL Shortener Opened To the Public · · Score: 2, Insightful

    this reminds me of the old "subscribe to my free newsletter". who the hell pays for an URL shortener in the first place?

  21. that's crazy on Linux May Need a Rewrite Beyond 48 Cores · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nobody's every going to need more than 640 cores

  22. Feet and thumbs on Safety Commission To Rule On Safety of Rulers In Science Kits · · Score: 1

    I hear those rulers are graded using "feet" and "inches", that's pretty dangerous.

  23. That was a surprising twist on Most Readers Don't Like Customized News · · Score: 1

    my first thought was "of course, people don't want to have the topics of the news they read manipulated, they want to get samples from everything current!". I guess I should stop overestimating them.

  24. Um, no, I'm not getting "rooted as you type this" on Linux Kernel Exploit Busily Rooting 64-Bit Machines · · Score: 1

    because this is a local exploit and I don't have any public ports. wtf is this FUD?

  25. Re:Uber-silly on Helicopter Crashes While Filming Autonomous Audi · · Score: 1

    all the operations you describe sound perfect for a computer to perform. input some data coming from the sensors, output a decision. what's so hard about it? even a human brain can do it
