  1. Re:Please... on First Organic Molecules Found on Alien World · · Score: 1

    Don't blame me for your back hurting! I voted for Kodos!

  2. Re:Tor? on Tor Books Is Giving Away E-Books · · Score: 1

    The free ebooks are part of a new steganographic exit node. Yes! I think they are using stenography! I looked at one of the pages like a Magic Eye and saw a naked lady! I couldn't believe it so I did the same thing to another page and yet another naked lady appeared! They're burying porn in these books!
  3. even better than gameboy on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 1

    My HP Laserjet 4si is made out of Gameboy bones. That damn thing has close to 3 million pages on it and I barely have to do anything to it EVER!

  4. Re:Apple Koolaid on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    I'll give you that. In XP, the "Run As" had about a 50/50 chance of working with a computer attached to an NT domain. At least UAC works 100% of the time. Also, for people like me with backward thinking, Vista kept the "Run As" option. Lucky me!

    I've never heard anyone refer to sudo as elegant. lol I find sudo to be about as much of a pain in the ass as UAC.

  5. Re:Apple Koolaid on Time for a Vista Do-Over? · · Score: 1

    My beef with Vista is that you have to spend an hour or so doing little tweaks in order for it to have a fraction of the performance that XP does. I agree 100% that UAC is the root of all evil and frustration and insanity in the world. That should be off by default.

  6. Re:$1.5 million? on RIAA Wants $1.5 Million Per CD Copied · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You should be able to make most of that back on your next album assuming you can come up with quality material in 9 months when the first album took 12 years of writing. Bon Jovi said it best,"You have your whole life to write your first album and only six months to write the second."
  7. Re:huh? on ACLU of Ohio Sues To Block Paper Ballots · · Score: 1

    To be more precise, it sits on the Stark/Summit County line in North Canton. I just moved from Stark County. I used to drive past Diebold every day on my way to work.

  8. huh? on ACLU of Ohio Sues To Block Paper Ballots · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute... a government lobbying agency is actually suing for the use of Diebold machines. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that one. And the reasoning? Stupid errors that have happened since voting on paper existed. Someone in the ACLU has got to be on the take.

  9. Serviced? on P2P Fans Pound Comcast In FCC Comments · · Score: 1

    I am not serviced by comcast I heard people were serviced by Comcast before and thought nothing of it. Then I was out in the country with a friend who owns a farm. He was waiting for a new bull to come to his farm. I asked what he would do with the bull and he said that the bull was coming to service his cows. I hope you're as enlightened as I am.
  10. Re:don't hate me on 23,000 Linux PCs For Filipino Schools · · Score: 0, Troll

    This kinda reminds me of all that Mac training I had to do when I was in school. While I was using Mac at school, my family had Microsoft products at home. Which do you think I spent more time on and retained more about? If you guessed Windows, you get the grand prize. In retrospect, all that time spent on an Apple II was really a waste. I don't know a thing about Mac anymore.

  11. Re:Another way to impress your friends on Impress Your Friends While Watching "Untraceable" · · Score: 1

    After reading this review, why would I need to?

  12. Re:Trap! on MySpace Private Pictures Leak · · Score: 0

    Think about the children!

  13. Re:This is great! on Work Progressing on Army's Future Combat Systems · · Score: 1

    A watched "emerge" seldom does.

  14. Re:Mosquito Feed on Engineered Mosquitoes Could Wipe Out Dengue Fever · · Score: 1

    There is a lot of good that can be done with this. If it works-out with dengue, other mosquito-borne diseases like Polio, Malaria, West Nile, and others could be wiped-out or at least significantly squashed worldwide.

    As for the food chain: animals have more diverse of a diet than you make it out to be.

  15. Damn! on Apple QuickTime DRM Disables Video Editing Apps · · Score: 1

    Can't make a video in After Effects. So while I'm waiting for the bug fix, why not rent a movie from iTunes?

    OH MY GOD!!! It's full of DRM!!! Run for your lives!!

  16. hmmm on Thinkpad X300 Specs Leaked · · Score: 1

    If it has a wired NIC it already has +1 on the Macbook Air.

  17. Re:What's with all the trolls lately? on IBM Jazz Edges Closer To Open Source · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That is what a troll starts saying over and over again when you forget to feed it. Have you fed a troll lately? Have a heart.

    This was a public service announcement sponsored by troll rights groups.

  18. Re:Ooh! My Platform! on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 1

    Don't be surprised if you're watching the news in November when you see that there is a write-in in Ohio for Greyfox. It will account for 0.000000001% of the vote but it's a start for when you make the comeback in 2012.

  19. Re:Communism on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In Soviet Russia, all of these things happened.

    People are lazy. And nerds are constructively lazy.

    My IBM XT was waaaay bulkier, waaaay slower and still cost $8000.

  23. ...and on Former OLPC CTO Aims to Create $75 Laptop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...and it will end-up being $175 instead. We all saw how the $100 laptop dry run went.

  24. Re:Wireless power? on What is the Future of Wireless Power? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Even better than that, Tesla was able to power stuff at great distances. He was doing stuff like this as early as 1891. Really people ought to start giving Tesla his due and stop claiming his concepts for themselves. More on his wireless power experiments here.

  25. What's the big deal? on ISPs To Filter Traffic For Copyright Holders? · · Score: 1

    Find a bunch of people with common interests as you who know a thing or two about computers and set up a VPN between your networks for file sharing. Sure it is a little slow as a P2P medium, but at least your transactions will be encrypted and the ISP will be none the wiser. Also you would be staying under the radar of the MAFIAA by not visiting torrent sites as much.
