  1. Condoms, anyone? on RFID Personal Firewall · · Score: 2, Funny

    So these are little electronic rubbers, right?

  2. Re:Today, a young man.... on Virtual Reality Creates False Memories · · Score: 0

    Life ... feeds on life ... feeds on life...

  3. The _other_ problem on Virtual Reality Creates False Memories · · Score: -1

    I suffer from the opposite problem: the wife remembers all the mistakes that I don't. Maybe I should invest in some VR experiences.

  4. Re:Poor Google! on Is Google Too Smart For Its Own Good? · · Score: -1

    That's called Star Trek syndrome...

  5. He's admitted... on Bram Cohen on BitTorrent's Future · · Score: 0

    He's alrerady admitted that he created Bittorrent in order to trade files illegally. In my opinion,s it was all heade downhill from there. Even if that is the truth, he need not say it publically. Because of comments like that, Bittorrent is blocked at my university, where I usually download the latest Fedora or Ubuntu release.

  6. Re:Incidentally... on Parallels Beta Adds Boot Camp, Desktop · · Score: -1

    My Kubuntu machine does this. I click on .ppt files and they open in Powerpoint View, and .pst's open in Photshop. I manually set the associations, but I think that if you install iva crossover office, it is done automatically.

    Note that only these two file types I open in wine. The rest gets handled by Open Office.

  7. Re:In space.... on Acoustic Sensors Make Any Surface a Touch Pad · · Score: -1

    Then you don't play the air drums. By the way, some guys reportedly sold an air guitar on eBay for $5. His buyer should look into this.

  8. Makes Sense on Novell Dumps the Hula Project · · Score: -1

    Why be innovative when you can have somebody else be innovative for you? Seems like Novell really does learn from Microsoft.

  9. Lost whos' way? on Firefox Losing Its Way? · · Score: -1

    Apparently, Firefox hasn't lost "it's way". Firefox has lost NeoSmart Technologies' way. Good for Firefox.

  10. Using paper to store information on 256GB Geometrically Encoded Paper Storage Device · · Score: -1, Troll

    Using paper to store information is a new technology?!? Wow, maybe I should patent the idea of putting geometrical shapes on it.

  11. Did this in Lebanon on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: -1
    Later this year, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), based in Arlington, Virginia, will put CX717 through its paces as a wakefulness promoter for combat. In an experiment designed to mimic the harsh demands of special ops, investigators will push 48 volunteers to the limit - four consecutive nights of hard work with only 4 hours of recovery sleep in between.


    Are they kidding? I did 16 days with about an hour's sleep each night in Lebanon. When the body needs it, it can continue functioning, especially in harsh conditions such as clode-to-medium range combat.
  12. Re:Original Meaning on Why the Word 'Planet' Will Never Be Defined · · Score: -1

    So Uranus and Neptune aren't planets, either? But the moon and ISS are?

  13. Slax to the rescue on Archiving Digital Data an Unsolved Problem · · Score: -1

    Just archive a disk of slax with all the 'forgotten file formats'. It's saved my ass more than once.

  14. Your cars suck! on Tech Czar Unimpressed With US IT Workforce · · Score: -1

    Well, I'm unimpressed with Czeck cars. Take that!

  15. Re:'Nothing to see here' on MPAA Sues Company For Selling Pre-Loaded iPods · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's not what's important. They have to make it appear as though the 'ripping' of a dvd is illegal, no matter for what purpose, to prevent borderline cases. It's idiots protecting themselves from morons.

  16. Unplugged his tubes? on China Reinstates Wikipedia Ban · · Score: -1
    It wasn't immediately clear if Wikipedia was inaccessible due to technical glitches or because government censors had blocked the site again. The Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Information Industry did not immediately respond when contacted for comment Friday.
    That's probably because somebody unplugged his internet, too. Tubes, right?

  17. WD-40??!? on What Not To Do With Your Data · · Score: -1

    Excellent! I need a new hardrive, anyway...

  18. Re:Good for them on Red Hat Rejects Microsoft Patent Deal Overtures · · Score: -1

    So switch to Fedora. I did- and you're going to love Compiz.

  19. Re:Java is End of Life-ed? on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: -1

    I seriously doubt that. Java is a very well-respected platform, and everything form my desktop to my cellphone supports it. No reason to write it off, as Java's not a failure.

  20. Re:Ah well. on Apple Changes the APSL Rules · · Score: -1

    Just like any other OS vendor. I won't mention one that goes two steps too far. At least Apple does keep it's regular users' best interest in mind, and thier own actions in step.

  21. View and Storing? on Login Code of Conduct Found Not Binding · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    By storing images, do they mean that they were in the firefox cache? And yes, I have alwyas thought that the click-through EULA's were BS. I'm glad that's now proven.
    Anyway, he got his punishment. Now the whole internet knows he's into beastiality. Woof!

  22. Same point, new pencil on What's a Media Mogul To Do · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is the work of a media mongol? Every word he writes has been written twice a week since 1995. Bet he's got eMule burning away right now... Really, the first parts weren't so bad. They guys making a point, but it's a point that's been made a thousand times before.

  23. useless article on Funding Cut For Arecibo Observatory · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm as sensitive as any other Star Trek fan to the closure of any important scientific instrument, but the article is nonsense. It doesn't describe the benefits of the telescope. It's as if "yeah, well, no harm done" in a kind of way. Don't reporters learn _anything_ about the subjects they write about, or do they suspect that the public is as ignorant as they are?

  24. Re:Easy on How To Manage a Security Breach? · · Score: 0

    If only it were so easy. I don't know about your part of the world, but here anyubodys glad to be working wherever there is work. A bit of immorality can go a long way...

  25. He should be an "unidentified source" on How To Manage a Security Breach? · · Score: -1

    Often we heard about workers, diplomats, and even generals being quoted as "unidentified sources". He might want to "leak" some info. For the good of humanity, want to hint as to what company was involved?
