  1. Re:Good luck filtering content in https connection on Australian Internet Filter Enters Trial Phase · · Score: 1

    Good luck blocking a tor hidden service

  2. Rover III on Mars Rover Spirit Reaches Winter Tilt · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bag-less rover with duel cyclone technology.
    Sponsored by Dyson.

  3. Re:Equal ads on Microsoft Says Not All Ad Clicks Are Created Equal · · Score: 4, Funny

    You mean all ads are equally blocked?

  4. Food. What you are used to eating on Kimchi in Space · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In my own experience, if you live in a place long enough you adapt to the food such that you feel just as weird going "back in the other direction". I remember walking around a western supermarket for the first time in years and thinking "Ok, what the hell am I supposed to eat here".

    Time to adapt for me personally; 2-3 years, and 3 years tops. After that, no craving for food that you were previously used to eating. You get totally localized.

    I guess my point is, instead of packaging food that is obviously unsuitable for the purpose (because it fucking stinks for one), why not train to live on food that is especially suitable for space flight.

  5. Re:schools, the net and the generation gap on Internet Pranks in Schools · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a very positive view but not what I'm observing.

    The only generation gap I can see is a dynamic one. These barely literate retards with their social networking sites and mobile phone connectivity , which can hardly be classes as communication, leave school and realise that they "cnt wrt their CV n sms lang", then promptly grow up.

    Fundamentally I don't think that technology changes the rules of engagement that much.

  6. Re:Morocco tried to block YouTube once... on Pakistan Blocks YouTube · · Score: 1
  7. Tau Bootis on Reversing Magnetic Poles Observed in Another Star · · Score: 4, Funny

    Star systems suffer from a similar naming convention problem as open source software.

    Nobody is going to relocate to an outpost in Tau Bootis. On the other hand, everyone would be clambering to go and live at the iPost in Apple Centauri.

  8. Re:Worse to die 30 days later on Are Wikileaks Servers In a Nuclear Bunker? · · Score: 1

    Do not assume that everyone would just sit and wait to be rescued.

    In that situation I would try and avoid starvation by hunting and eating long pig.

  9. Re:Not color, false color. on New Electron Microscope Shows Atoms in Color · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm not sure what the actual innovation is here. False colour, or colour coding atoms and other features is as old as electron microscopy itself.

    The concept of colour doesn't really make sense at atomic scales anyway.

  10. Re:Petition on UK ISPs To Face Piracy Deadline · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Every single on of those that I've signed has reached critical mass, causing me to receive a piece of government propaganda telling me why I'm wrong.

    For example:

    Me: "I don't want an ID card. Police states are not good"
    Reply: "Dear terrorist, having an ID card is good. It will keep you safe"

    I'm not going to sign this one because I already know what the reply will be.

  11. Zero Pollution Motors on 100-MPG Air-Powered Car Headed To US Next Year · · Score: 1

    Governments really need to regulate green washing such as this companies name.

  12. Re:Just buy a cheap SOHO router on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    If you do that, China will just make its own internet. Without blackjack, or hookers.

  13. How to change the law on Politicians and the Cyber-Bully Pulpit · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems that by committing suicide these days, you can influence the law making process.

    I just can't bear another Viagra spam. If I get just one more I'll take a Viagra overdose, and become a spam martyr.

  14. Stretching a bit to make the list on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    I suppose it depends on your definition of skill, but I think only 4 of the 11 qualify, since although the technology might be obsolete, the "skill" would still be intuitively obvious.

  15. 15% on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 1

    Worse than electrolysis of hydrogen by electricity from a nuclear power plant. (25-45%)

    And then begins the energy intensive liquification stage. Having those carbon atoms attached to your hydrogen is just a huge advantage.

  16. Killer app? on Limits to Moore's Law Launch New Computing Quests · · Score: 4, Funny

    And what would be the killer app that needed all that extra power?
    Moore's Law might be linear but who's to say that demand for processing power is also... ...scratch that, Microsoft just released a new operating system. The minimum spec is 640 quantum cores.

  17. Re:Faked death on Steve Fossett Declared Dead · · Score: 2, Funny

    You mean like Hotblack from Disaster Area?

  18. Re:Leisure Suit Larry on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 1

    You mean like where is the G-spot? Oh sure you could google it or look at the wikipedia entry for the female reproductive system,
    but when it actually comes to finding it...

  19. Re:A kinder Writers Guild of America ? on WGA Under Vista SP1 Is Kinder and Nags More · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I already tried that joke in reverse on a topic about the writers guild. Only got +3 funny

  20. Re:Students will pirate music, yet buy $60 games on College Funding Bill Passes House, P2P Provision Intact · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Rubbish. As a student I wasn't in the least bit hypocritical. Buying music, games and high-end software for my course would have made me poor and unable to afford tangible things such as beer.

    Naturally I pirated it all. Man that was a long time ago now, back when kazaa wasn't all spammy.

  21. Re:tl,dr on Hostile ta Vista, Baby · · Score: 1, Informative

    Facebook worked with XP but not with Vista.
    It wasn't a fault with Vista but facebook.com had a broken IPv6 record

    Then a list of stuff vista doesn't have or do, or is otherwise deficient.

    In summary, he uninstalled Vista excluding ie7 because that wouldn't uninstall and proclaimed that Vista sucks.

  22. For increased portability... on New Authentication Scheme Proposed · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...I suggest a booth with a dance dance revolution mat inside.
    When the user is asked to enter their password they enter the booth, shut the door and strut their funky password.

  23. It's almost as if on Blizzard Patches No-CD Support Into Warcraft III · · Score: 1
