  1. Re:Take em now on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 2, Interesting

    North Korea declared the armistice ceasing the Korean War (1950-1953), "null and void" a few months ago. It made a lot of people (US, Japan) nervous, with China trying to keep everyone calm. Now that NK has proved themselves a nuclear power, Japan will definately *consider* preemptive strikes against NK facilities, and NK fearing such attacks will escalate their threats.

    We should deplay some troops over there, in case things get out of hand and bombs start flying. Oh wait, most of our fleet is still looking for WMDs next to the oil.

  2. Old school--Tetris on What Are Your Top Five 'Comfort' Games? · · Score: 1

    I can still play tetris for hours if I had the time. For short bursts, Freecell. I have installed wine on my linux boxen to play freecell. Why isn't there a good linux clone? (gnome freecell looks like crap).

  3. How are they feeding 1Tbps on New Data Transmission Record — 14 Tbps · · Score: 1

    How do they keep 1 Tbps saturated? Do they keep it all in memory? Keep repeating the same message? I doubt they are using disk drives to keep that up.

  4. Re:Firefox logo/trademark is important on Firefox To Be Renamed In Debian · · Score: 1

    How much do you value [F]reedom? Is it worth more or less than brand recognition or market share? To you it maybe worth sacrificing a little freedom for market share increase and usability. Groups like FSF (GNU), would rather have more freedom than marketshare.

    Sure, it's up to Firefox foundation to decide if they should enforce their trademark. But I hope developers and contributors of Firefox do the right thing, and let it be [F]ree.

  5. Re:One Reason Why Zune's Got Problems on Why Microsoft's Zune Scares Apple to the Core · · Score: 1

    It boggles the mind.

    No it doesn't. Someone up in MS finally realized that there is no way in hell there will be a DRM'ed multimedia format that you can move from PC to portable to DVD to etc... except user ripped (pirated) content. They'll do the dog and pony show with the MPAA and add a DRM format, but their true intent is pull an Apple and use generic formats. Good luck to MS to out do Apple (grin).

  6. Re:Negligence lies with the child's guardian on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: 1

    Typical Retardican blabber. "where is the money?". Show me the weapons of mass descruction, and I'll show the helpless virtual victims abused by the kid.

  7. Re:Great... on Group Fights Politicizing Science and Engineering · · Score: 1

    You misspelled Retardicans and Dummocrats.

  8. Re:The President believes? on Online Budget Database Planned by White House · · Score: 1

    Hey, it's an election year. He'll take whatever he can in this year.

  9. Thank you president Bush! on Online Budget Database Planned by White House · · Score: 1

    Finally, we can see how much money Halliburton, Diebold, and DynCorp are raking in these days.
    Oh, but wait, since these are defense companies, they are exempt! Oops
