  1. Re:Yeah, right on Software Theft a Problem For Actual Thieves, Too · · Score: 1

    At least not yet.

  2. Re:OH lord on Browser-Based Deep Space Nine MMO Coming In 2011 · · Score: 1

    Well, a the Sci-Fi talk (not your main point, I know) is what I like about DS9. In TNG, LaForge with his technobabble was getting unbearable for me. On the other hand, O'Brien and Dax in DS9 are talking about much more realistic things, like EM fields and quantum phenomena.

    What I don't like about it is that is places too much importance on the central characters and their interaction between themselves. Star Trek is supposed to be about things new to humanity, and our reactions to them.

  4. Re:Luckily for us... on Panasonic's 16-Finger, Hair-Washing Robot · · Score: 1

    Now if you'll excuse me, there's some kids outside that seem to be enjoying themselves, I'd better go and cut up their ball.

    But are they on your lawn?

  5. Re:How do you get offenders to stop? on Is the Web Heading Toward Redirect Hell? · · Score: 1

    Or you could use some ultra-hyper-modern twitter-like that would let you post messages longer than 140 characters? Too bad no-one thought of that yet...

  6. Re:GNU/Stallman on Stallman Crashes Talk, Fights 'War On Sharing' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you try and tell people about "Why Software Freedom is Important", they will listen to you, agree with you, then buy Apple anyway. If you tell them "Apple is crap!", at least some of them will understand it.

  7. Re:Ya on Linux Kernel Exploit Busily Rooting 64-Bit Machines · · Score: 1
    From the link:

    Windows Server 2008 advances control and manageability, increases flexibility, and provides a solid foundation for more secure, more robust server environments.

    It certainly conforms to the buzzword specification.

  8. Re:wrong target on DDoS From 4chan Hits MPAA and Anti-Piracy Website · · Score: 1

    I find it hard to imagine just what is the average's MPAA employee's "work".

  9. Of course... on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    It all makes sense now. They're building it in France because LaForge was French!

  10. Re:So if it wasn't for Google... on How 6 Memorable Tech Companies Got Their Names · · Score: 1

    What's this "preview" you're talking about?

  11. Re:Gamify Wall Street trading... on American Business Embraces 'Gamification' · · Score: 1

    then they can run around stealing gold instead of whatever it is they do now to fleece the public

    In the same context, what about: "You died! Game over! Play again?"?

    That's pretty much how it is now, isn't it? With the bail-out and all?

  12. Re:reality on Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25 · · Score: 1

    German drivers != drivers that drive German cars. You are both quite right.

  13. Re:huh?? on Facebook To Add Remote Logout · · Score: 1
    Facebook

    Sounds like a very stupid move.

  14. Re:This is one place Apple has it right on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 1

    I have a cheap Lenovo (n500) and it only came with Intel's sticker. The laptop came without any OS, and no graphics or sound card (everything integrated on the board), so there weren't many to choose from, but even the Intel one is quite small and not shiny. I had to put a Kubuntu sticker on so that the black space in front of the keyboard doesn't look so empty.

  15. Re:Goo Gone or limonene on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 1

    Yes, because Lindows settled the other argument so well...

  16. Re:Location on UVB-76 Broadcasts New Voice Message · · Score: 1

    Mordor.

  17. Re:Also a better way to CYA on Look For AI, Not Aliens · · Score: 1

    No reason to bring space-faring idiots to Earth. We have enough of our own as it is [youtube.com].

    Thanks to the link-in-brackets feature, I didn't have to click the link yet still got the point. I believe there's also an XKCD comic about it.

  18. Re:Move the cargo traffic to rail! on China's Nine-Day Traffic Jam Tops 62 Miles · · Score: 1

    Not here. We have trucks from all over Europe on Slovenian highways.

  19. Re:Don't forget Red State Stupidity. on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Any president can do those bad things, but only Obama can get a Nobel Peace Prize for it.

    Which you do, thanks to the free market.

  21. Re:United States Government Accountability Office? on Top Secret America · · Score: 1

    Well if you wanted to become like the GDR you would need 3 million inofficial operatives

    Almost, they have one quarter of that, but with more technology support than GDR.

    Also you would need secure borders with walls, fences, mines, patrols and then some.

    Check

    Also you would get national id cards.

    And here I was thinking RIAA's 16M was bad...

  23. Re:This study is nothing but Communist propaganda on Given Truth, the Misinformed Believe Lies More · · Score: 1

    Well, what exactly is he doing except receiving Nobel prizes? I mean, we used to hear about Bush all the time, but with Obama all the news we get here are those about visits to some unimportant countries.

  24. Re:Obligatory? on Nuclear Power Could See a Revival · · Score: 1

    It seems like Nuclear has been on the verge of revival for a couple decades now. I doubt we will ever see it.

    All the Nuke-related things do have something in common :)
