  1. Re:But... What would it do for Brock's Spain in on Brain-Inspired Computer Made From Duroquinone · · Score: 1

    Is a meme dead when it gets modded as troll?

  2. Re:Breathtaking Arrogance or Stupidity? on Aging Security Vulnerability Still Allows PC Takeover · · Score: 1

    Both!

  3. Re:Government censorship is a good thing? on Australian Internet Filter Enters Trial Phase · · Score: 1

    Besides, can I help it if question marks are tasty?
    Funniest thing I have read on the internet for months.
  4. Re:The zero isn't really zero on Spreading "1 in 5" Number Does More Harm Than Good · · Score: 1

    Yes, because it says "the number of respondents" not "the percentage of respondents". If it was percentage, it depends on how many sig-figs they use.

  5. Re:Wasn't that the whole point on US Claims Satellite Shoot-Down Success · · Score: 1

    One would be wrong. Hence the coolness of the experiment.

  6. Re:Social skills and looks and money on The D&D Designers Answer Your Questions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most relationships, it seems, are a matter of doing what you have to do to manipulate the other person into fulfilling your desires.
    You're doing it wrong.

    Tiny fists of fury!

  8. Re:Really? on Ron Paul Campaign Answers Slashdot Reader Questions · · Score: 1

    What's the point of a MaryJane question to someone with known Libertarian leanings?
    Don't forget, the thread these questions were taken from was called "Ask the Candidates" not "Ask Ron Paul". RP was the only one who answered. So, yes, the question has an obvious answer from a Libertarian, but the original poster probably wanted to know Obama's, Clinton's, McCain, Romney's, etc, opinions.
  9. Re:Not an "unprecedented" number of chars on Smash Bros. Delayed Until March 9th · · Score: 1

    Currently there are 24 known characters for SSBB.

    The game itself does have more characters than any of the other SB games.[/counter-nitpick]

  10. Mods... on Legalize File Sharing, Say Swedish MPs · · Score: 1

    Um, mods? Can we get a -1 TimeCube over here? Thanks.

    Do you mean palm grease as in $$$? Or palm grease as in KY?

  13. Re:Global warming on Extreme Christmas Lights In Orlando · · Score: 4, Informative

    Um, not to be pedantic, but Easter is near the Spring equinox, not the Summer solstice.

  14. Re:Different beast methinks on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 0

    Well, that last theory might just have something to it if the postulation in TFS is right about the temperature wrapping at the absolute temperature.
    If absolute cold == 0k, and absolute heat == -(absolute cold), then
    absolute heat == -(0k).

  15. Re:You may google my user name, not my given name on People Were More Likely To Google Themselves This Year · · Score: 1

    Um, I don't think this clip is legal guys... ;-)

  17. Re:Predictable on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about companies? All I said was distributer. And in this day and age, anyone can be a distributer. A band who doesn't want to sign up with a label, an indie film producer, a writer who doesn't want to pay a publisher, all potential distributors. You have to stop focusing on the middle-man. One way or the other, he's on his way out.
    Welcome to the internet, enjoy your stay.

  18. Re:When will people realise on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Relax, man, I'm a Democratic Socialist, not a Marxist. I want a lower-case-r revolution, Marxism is way too violent for me.
    (besides, any geek will tell you that attempting to write a calendar program in assembly is just a bad idea, use something a little higher-level)

    *applause*

  20. Re:Predictable on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    But what if (in the scenario where you pay for the .torrent) you paid significantly less than for a regular download? Instead of having the entire transaction being in $, you could have the bandwidth you use for uploading be somehow credited to your user name. So you could, conceivably, get the file for free (or at a very small price) just by seeding for several months.
    This would save the distributer money, because they could credit you less for your bandwidth than they would have to pay for the extra servers.
    I can envision an entire bartering system developing using bandwidth and server-space as the currency.

  21. Re:USB 2.0 is better than Bit Torrents. on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ahh, good, old fashioned sneakernet.

  22. Re:Backward compatable on The Uncertain Future of BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Hmm? I understand how .p2p could be a confusing file extension for the user. But what does it have to do with the *AA's?

    We know, and believe me, you will be the first against the wall when The Revolution comes.

    However, the modified program can never be sold or even given away to any external party without triggering the requirement to distribute the source code to all modifications along with it to the external party. There, fixed that for you. You only have to distribute the code to the people to whom you are supplying the binary.
  25. Re:the fine didn't fit the crime on Juror From RIAA Trial Speaks · · Score: 1
    Sigh, all mainstream political parties in the US are corporate parties. This has been shown over and over again. Wake up and smell the money.


    Predicted replies:
    • "Democrats aren't a corporate party."

    • "That's why I'm a Libertarian."
    • "Vote Ron Paul!"
