    Hey you person of low intelligence. People Eating Tasty Anmals is just as valid a name for an organization as any other. I would join that than peta.com. Stop interfering with my peta.org coorporation.

  2. doh! on How China Cracks Down On Internet Dissidents · · Score: 1

    has anyone noticed that the specific abuses that the article goes into that the chinise gvmt is getting into have been present in the US for a long time?

  4. Re:question for all the trolls on How China Cracks Down On Internet Dissidents · · Score: 1

    I suggest using bio power.

    A naked picture of natalie portman should do the trick.

  5. names... on How China Cracks Down On Internet Dissidents · · Score: 1

    A very large part of the problem is that we citizens and our institutions like to say "China" this, or "United States" that. Really, all we are saying is some minor bureaucrat somwhere got access to some gullible reporters and informed everyone of his current emotional problems thereby setting "Chinese" and "United States" official policy. Do you get it? Do you? Stop being part of the herd. If some idiot says (or you get the info second or third hand - monkey boy) that today the official policy of the whole country is to cook and eat Kathy Lee Gifford then just tell him - tomorrow the official policy of the one and only United States will be to beat jehovas witnesses on sight. Don't think this policy is official? Trust me its as official for me as all the other policies you keep on talking about. I give them the same weight.

    This is not relevant to Natalie Portman. Please do not let Hemos post any more. Thanks for reading.

  7. beans on Black Holes' Growth Measured · · Score: 1

    dude, just stop giving the astronomers beans for breakfast and they'll be docile.

  8. microwhining on Linux Games Come Of Age · · Score: 1

    I feel your pain.
    You like Linux because its this nice OS OS with OS components that demystify (haha!) the parts of MS SW that don't work so well.

    Now along come some people dedicated to making Linux mainstream. Guess what mainstream is? BSD? VMS? Solaris? Mac? Hmm... I think it has MS in it :)

    Yes the Windows/Apple type UI badly needs innovation. But at least people are now working on a platform where innovation is still possible. Besdies, for an introduction to true innovation just turn your computer off (don't want it that badly do you? :) ).

    What you should be afraid of is standardization. You should be afraid of people being the same. People will not develop herd enterntainment until there is a sufficient herd and a nice fence and some spectators.

    Just like trolls won't graze on slashdot utill they have sufficient spectators.

    Personally I like games, and that is the only reason I currently have a MSputer. I spend an enormous amount of money on games. The people who are driving the speed increases in computers are gamers (at least up to like 400 MhZ, I think) IMHO. What we need is a DirectX equivalent API, and HW compatibility with the equivalent API/OS. The what we need is for gaming companies to take the great leap forward into making less profit. Sure they'll have to work harder at the games because the users will be more anal, but hey! It'll be for less money and their eIP will be less protected. $50 bucks for a game? Pah!

  9. Re:Why not just call Janet Reno next time? on Criminal Libel, Free Speech And The Net · · Score: 1

    what's the difference between police and lawyers again? they are both buttwipes dedicated ti wiping butts. The lawyers do it more with "talk" but you feel worse afterwards.

  10. what;s the big deal? on Criminal Libel, Free Speech And The Net · · Score: 1

    some kid decided to call some buttwipes buttwipes, the buttwipes acted like buttwipes and the kid got to move to S CA? Where is the "victim"? I mean its Utah. The buttwipes there want to be buttwipes.

  11. government.com on Barbie Demands A Domain · · Score: 1

    hey isn't government.com owned by a commercial company? I though it was supposed to be a government of the people, by the people for the people. Where is my IPcash? Giime my eIPcash! how about my congressman, is he my eIP bitch? I need my house cleaned.

  12. A patent has no meaning on IDCT Approximation: Worth a Patent? · · Score: 1

    A patent has no meaning aside from what I give it, what he gives it and what she gives it.
    For all you people advocating free IP, why do you care what anyone else thinks or patents? Just do what you want to do.
    A patent is a piece of paper. If a big powerfull group of people headed by a ruthless dictator (i.e. a corporation or government) desides they don't like you, you are going to have to do what the dictator wants anyway or deal with the consequences they wish to impose.
    A patent makes you feel better about yourself and makes you beleive you have some small social advantage that will help your interests.
    How does that compare with creativity? With creating something much better than the old?
    If you want to talk about money and not creativity... well the rich have always had their ways of screwing the poor. Almost by definition. Exploit the system any way you can.
    I think we are confusing the concept of an idea vs. the ability to dupe fellow human beings into paying you money
