  1. Re:i hope she doesnt... on Data Stored in Live Neurons · · Score: 1

    Nah man, setting up a RAID GF isn't the best idea, they'd need to be seperated by a pretty large distance, defeating any purpose really.
    Having one GF is bad enough, you're talking 2 GFs in close-proximity?? Are you CRAZY? Thats like blowing up a nuke with another nuke...attached to your head by a strap!

  2. Re:Interesting reading the comments here on Genetic Information on Major Diseases Uncovered · · Score: 1

    I'm bloody glad someone said this!

    I am sick of idiots who cry and moan over genetic screening of healthier sperm/eggs for birth, countless billions and billions of sperm die all the time, masturbation is mass-murdering as you said.
    Its just stupid! Nature kills life all the damn time, just because its nature! Life has evolved to take every damn chance it can get to live, not send out one sperm and hope for the best it reaches the egg.
    GOD these kinds of people would suck at Life. Good luck procre..actually don't, just don't breed, ever, seriously. Don't teach either, just cease to beee.
    Although, i guess to be honest, most of these people ARE religious, and this is classed as playing God (even know most of them are hypocrites and play God every day, and kill life every day without them even realising it. WHERES YOUR MORALS NOW?!)

    I do agree with you on the "limited time to abort" regulations.
    Abortion after a certain period shouldn't even be looked at unless some serious genetic defect that was unseen pops up and could cause serious problems in life. I'd rather someone never exist than live painfully.

    I'm a sufferer of Crohns Disease, in fact i just got put on an emergency dose of Prednisolone so i could go througvh the last week of college, if not, i'd have been in hospital just now. I couldn't eat anything, it just came straight back up.
    Whats worse is that i was just OFF steriod treatment, now i'm back on them! The pills don't seem to be helping, only thing that helps is the steriods. I can't stay on them forever though...
    I count myself fortunate that i don't suffer the extreme stomach pains that most suffer from, i only get the vomitting and loose crap out the back end of me. (sorry for the image lol)

    Heres hoping this will help create some hope for sufferes of these diseases, and potentially help in the future with others.

  4. Most of you... on Church Threatens Legal Action Over Sony Game · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    fuckers don't even know what this game is about and you are commenting on it as if you know what you are talking about.
    In the game, you are bloody defending the church from the Chimera, not blowing the fuck out of the place!

    What i find even funnier is all the idiots who actually attack Sony when it was fucking Insomniac who made the god damn game, NOT Sony.

    Why not attack every other game thats done things like this in the past, why not attack films, TV programmes and every other damn bit of media thats done something like this before? Oh yeh, thats right, this stupid Bishop twat is just looking for attention, just like EVERY other damn religious leader, MOVE along, nothing to see here, same old same old!

    I almost wish the story for Resistance was real, some people really do deserve to not live. (and i know this would effectively wipe me out, but fuck it)

  7. Re:Quite impressive.. on Computers Outperform Humans at Recognizing Faces · · Score: 1

    This is actually a great milestone as we humans are really excellent at face recognition. In fact, we are so good at it that we produce tons of false positives and recognize faces where there are none (clouds, toasts etc). My webcam can recognise "faces" where there are none.
    I made a simple face out of my hands once, and moved it out the edge of the webcams view while also moving my face, and it followed it instead of my face!
    I felt a little insulted...
  8. Re:it's in the summary FFS on Computers Outperform Humans at Recognizing Faces · · Score: 1

    And to add on to this comment, there is software already out that can "guess" ages of people, based on environment, family and some other stuff probably.

    It has been years since i've seen this, so no source sadly, actually it was on TV i saw it, probably way back past year 2000 to be honest.
    And no, i'm very sure it wasn't a TV show.

    Just imagine how Einstein felt when the first nuke went off...

    *Benders voice* DEATH TO HUMANS!

    But seriously, if they were to sit around and think about this stuff, we would still be starting fires with wood and/or stone.
    Then again, it would only be a matter of time until some crazy person found out the potential for oils, gases and the like, same with Einstein, but possibly a bit longer in this case.

  10. Sandboxie on Google Buys Anti-Malware Security Startup · · Score: 2, Informative

    Read about this ealier, and as nice as it is, i'll probably stick with Sandboxie. Does the same thing as this, but also protects other programs.

    If you donate to the project, you can unlock a few more features that allow you to start any program under sandbox ALL the time, even without it being started before the protected program. (well, the main program, not the service)
    Its pretty good, but the file browser that comes with it could do some with some work... tends to lock up sometimes in large directories.


    Although, with this, if Google does find malware and crap like that, they could easily tag a site and alert a user/kill connection whenever it comes up, killing a connection only on cases where there isn't really a site to go to.
    Still don't want that horrible green border, sorry, that is just plain ugly. (Sandboxie just does [#] Window Title [#] on any sandboxed windows FYI)

    Hmmm, thats slightly scary to hear. (haven't even read the article yet to be honest)
    Last i heard, they were turned down, now MS have done this student pack, its all "heyy, lets work together!"
    Hell i agree with Negroponte, Microsoft are only doing this since they now see this as a threat and the growing uptake of open-source outside their usual markets.

    I'd honestly prefer they not have Windows CE (crap edition, oh wait, theres already been Windows CE...uh...) unless Microsoft can actually make the thing secure in an always-connected mesh that this project boasts about.

  18. Re:Google holds back the web! on Googlebot and Document.Write · · Score: 0

    No, its technically the web-developers fault for using Javascript in this way.
    The easiest way to get around this "problem" is by initially having content on the page (keywords etc) then hiding it using Javascript and re-populating/injecting content and so on.
    Its not that hard a thing to do and takes like 5-10 lines extra code at least (for most simpler Javascript-based sites)

    This method is used by spam-sites currently, so i don't know why web-developers don't learn from the bad boys of the web since they usually come up with the smartest ways to do/get around things (same goes for crackers/phishers and loads of other similar kinds of people... kind of a sad truth in some cases)

    I even tied it in with Auto Hotkey so i can pop-up menus that dealt with whatever file objects i clicked on (Photoshop with images, or paint, or whatever else and so on)

    If i remember correct, they found out some way of manipulating the brain without any surgery, but i think they had some problems (well obviously!).
    Theres already been research done on how the brain interprets what the eye sees, think it was posted on here actually. Something like "decoding how the brain sees" (actually, it may have been physorg.. yeh i'm sure it was)
