  1. Who cares.. Is it your browser? on A Bad Month for Firefox · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It seams that there are zillion of developers trying to add their exploits. Another proof that this open/free concept doesn't work. It would have been much better to have twenty different genuine browsers for $10 (closed) each then this one bloated open source behemoth.

  2. Re:but, God created world 6000 years ago... on Possible 25 Million Year Old Frog Found · · Score: 1

    rofl, pity i can't give you 'digg up' points..

  3. but, God created world 6000 years ago... on Possible 25 Million Year Old Frog Found · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is obvious science propaganda. Everybody knows that God created the world in the creation week, I mean on monday sometimes 6000 years ago, perhaps in the sunny afternoon after some good lunch.

  4. Re:Fuck DRM! on Father of MPEG Replies To Jobs On DRM · · Score: 1

    And yes, the main problem with the DRM is that even if you purchase the music, you will always have to fight to prove it's really yours. In this case, DRM puts us in constant legal danger. Music WMA doesn't have your name written all over it. So, if you lose the receipt for the music purchase, it means you stole it. That is why DRM should go.

  5. Brain's AGP bus on Bionic Eye Could Restore Vision · · Score: 1

    I am seriously disturbed, yes. None of the geek community shouted out loud: And how the heck you connect to the neural computer the brain is? Really, how you attach you VGA camera to the brain? I mean I presume brain doesn't have a DVI plug, so, do you somehow managed to plug-it to the 'neural wires'? What coding are you using? What resolution? What FPS? (lol) That is indeed amazing.. Also rises all kinds of dirty questions like=> can we plug or cast video stream to the brain??? we can send pictures directly there??

  6. Fuck DRM! on Father of MPEG Replies To Jobs On DRM · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If Steve Jobs gets rid off it. He will be my personal hero and I am buying myself a Mac.
    Go Steve, Go!

  7. I will personally save Wikipedia! Yes! Me! on Wikipedia On the Brink? Or Crying Wolf? · · Score: 0

    I will gladly and boldly release it back to you.




    (..with a little help of the ads ;-)

  8. no longer be purchasing any commercial software on Some European Moves Towards Linux · · Score: 0

    Purchasing and paying for other people's work and efforts is the core of healthy society. Anything else ruins it.

  9. Dirty secret of HGP on DNA-rainbow, A New Vision of Human Chromosomes · · Score: -1, Troll

    Human genome project scans just the 'upper level' of the DNA and not the entire DNA sequence. We share 99% of DNA with the shimp right (now). Things are much more complicated there. It's like their binoculars captured upper boundary of the mountain range underneath.

  10. Webmasters gone (to create their own porn sites) on Who Killed the Webmaster? · · Score: 1

    Fine examples are dozens of stolen or duplicated porn sites on the web. Where is not clear who exactly created the original content, but is very clear that a dozen of 'webmasters' are selling it like crazy over various .coms

  11. Professors are losing money on Professors To Ban Students From Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    They have been making money from script sales for years, now Wikipedia replaced them.

  12. From Russia with your passwords on MySpace and GoDaddy Shut Down Security Site · · Score: 1

    I wonder when they start doing something 'good' for the internet community. Seeing IP connection from Russia on my servers somehow always makes me nervous...

  13. water on mars (spotted) on Underground Water on Mars? · · Score: 1

    This is obligatory, have to show the world we've already spotted it on this NASA probe image.

  14. European films good? on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 1

    Dude, I live in Europe and I saw maybe 80% of recent and noteworthy German and French cinema productions and I must say they sux to the bone compared to 'benchmark' set by Hollywood. God thank we've got those California productions, also there is the music and other aspect of the Hollywood film making that is still beyond compare to anything in the world with a small exceptions like New Zealand (LOTR) or Prague (CasinoRoyale,Hellboy) studios. Or may be take a look at the film crap that is produced in Asia, 'take tour', you will be enlightened..

  15. Re:WinXP on First Vista Service Pack Due Second Half of 2007 · · Score: 1

    not gonna happen, your service pack 3 is called Vista

  16. 4th Amendment in contest on Fox Subpoenas YouTube Over Content · · Score: 1

    I think this case may due a precedent for these video sharing sites.

  17. Re:why even use ActiveX? on Koreans Advised to "Avoid Vista" for Now · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Haha, you really do not get it. ActiveX and Microsoft are darlings there. South Korean economy is ridden by miriads of PC parts makers and the whole nation depends on their elecronics export to US and EU. Microsoft feeds them, so they obey. If Linux was ever able to offer robust driver layer to their hardware they may consider to switch, but they are not even considering given the braindead software layer that surrounds the Linux kernel, giving you the second tier wrapper shit? No way, Direct(x) way by Microsoft (the triumphant).

  18. Hackers Hall of Fame induction on Blu-ray Protection Bypassed · · Score: 1

    He has definitelly got an invite.

  19. Do not use such a bloated browsers then on Google Antiphishing Site Exposed Private User Data · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Recetly, I've found out that I don't have a web browser that is not threatened by some nasty bugs or exploits. So after a long research I've found "Offbyone" browser, and it rulez. Website loading is -rapid- compared to anything outthere. No Web2.0 spyware.. no problems.

    And did you notice how slow those Web2.0 sites are? The usability went from 4/5 to 2/5 with all those _web 2.0_ upgrades. There is nothing I was missing with old Slashdot, old Yahoo! messageboars or old Digg. All those sites were better under the old scheme and faster. Now you can play Doom in the browser right? Wrong, I play Doom on my XBox360 Live Arcade not in the _web 2.0_ bloated browser.

  20. Spiderman on MIT Labs Moves Ahead In Synthesizing Spider Silk · · Score: 1

    They are reinventing the prior art of his.

  21. Precedent on Germany's RIAA Sues Rapidshare - YouTube Next? · · Score: 1

    They are tackling the little guy first, to gain precedent, obviously.

  22. Re:Iceless Greenland is a blatant proof on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 1

    That Wikipedia graph is not accurate, it has been disucussed before. Even the Nature presented graph showing that the 'Medieval Warm Period' was much warmer then was previously (and wrogly) assumed. If that graph is ok, then even lower temperatures then are now caused the Greenland to be actually green, thats sound indeed.

  23. Re:Iceless Greenland is a blatant proof on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 1

    wonder from where the name "Greenland" came from.

  24. Iceless Greenland is a blatant proof on Expert Wants to Decertify Global Warming Skeptics · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Medieval Warm Period" is just a few centuries back and the planet was so much warmer than is now. Even the Greenland was stripped off ice so the Vikings dwelt there without any problem. We are actually in very cold perior right now and some warming would be much appreciated at least for us who experience -30 degrees celsius in the winter.
