    'merica Fuck Yeah. Does anyone know a place I can give this decision a like?

  2. Re:Just Imagine... on Face Recognition Maps History Via Art · · Score: 1

    Great now even dead people are jumping on the social networking craze.

    That's why my passwords are all set to 012345. That's way more secure.

  5. Re:PhD, xkcd and Penny Arcade on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 1

    It sound to me like someone needs to learn the difference between objectivity and subjectivity. Google and read about them thoroughly.

  6. Re:A bad idea that "sounds good". on Billionaires and Polymaths Expected To Unveil a Plan To Mine Asteroids · · Score: 1

    I defanatly agree this could be a very bad idea. However with NASA's budget cut and privatization of space travel this is the most viable idea I've heard to keep it alive. Otherwise it will not be able to attract investors.

  7. Re:Trial and extradition were never the goal on US Judge Say Kim Dotcom May Never Be Tried or Extradited · · Score: 4, Informative

    I posted this here the other day but it seems very appropriate to post again. Bookmark this link List of SOPA/PIPA Supporters.

    Thank you for citing that I couldn't remember who said it.

  9. Re:Only Works on Male Monkeys on Brain Implants Help Paralyzed Monkeys Get a Grip · · Score: 1

    I thought that's what this article was about rehabilitating masterbating monkeys. What else do monkeys need to grip besides uhm... limbs and shit... and shit.

  10. Re:Wait a procorporation teet sucking Republican R on CISPA Sponsor Says Protests Are Mere 'Turbulence' · · Score: 5, Informative

    Why are so many /.ers insisting that Dems are less guilty than the Republicans in this fight we've recently been having over internet freedom. SOPA/PIPA had some bipartison support (and opposition) but it was mostly the Democrates bill. Check out this informative wikipedia article. Both sides are equally full of currupt assholes stop giving one side a free pass just because you think they're ideallistically superior. Idealism doesn't mean shit when you have two wolves (the politcal parties) and a sheep (the people) deciding what's for dinner. They mainly just argue about how they're going to cook us.

  11. Re:Just protecting their assets on Canadian Media Companies Target CBC's Free Music Site · · Score: 1

    I assume you meant to respond to StevenBielberg? For the record I know what socialism is and if applied properly it can be good. I just see no reason to use it here.

  12. Re:Just protecting their assets on Canadian Media Companies Target CBC's Free Music Site · · Score: 1

    Ideas are easy good implementation of said ideas is hard. Offering consumers a reasonable service at reasonable price should be easy with current copyright laws it's not. I don't want socailism I want to be able to pay $5-$10 dollars a month to access all (most) music from any device without being locked into some moronic DRM scheme. It's not that hard.

  13. Re:Gabe Newell is ex-microsoft employee on Valve Hiring Hardware Developers · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu has been the distro of choice of the greater part of the last decade. Personally I like Unity. Debian would be a great choice too though.

  14. Re:Gabe Newell is ex-microsoft employee on Valve Hiring Hardware Developers · · Score: 1

    That could easily solved by valve just stating they're only going to support 1 distro (e.g Ubuntu). Then if you can get it to run on other distros more power to you but you (yourself) and the community will be your only support.

  15. Re:Why is screen resolution not improving? on 1366x768 Monitors Top 1024x768 For the First Time · · Score: 1

    My aunt and uncle gave me their old netbook when they got a new one. The one they gave me had an 800x600 screen that was a few inches smaller than their new one. Which has a larger 576p screen (can't remember the horizontal resolution). Its sad to see this go down across the board.

  16. Re:Apple TVs to Xbox 360s on Google Earns $2 Per Handset; Apple, $575 · · Score: 1

    AppleTV currently runs a version of iOS and does have acess to the apple app store.

  17. Re:So, if I get this correctly... on Google Earns $2 Per Handset; Apple, $575 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Comparing a software provider to a hardware provider? Thats like comparing apples to microsofts.

  18. Re:Inbreeding... Just say no. on UK Bill Again Demands Web Pornography Ban · · Score: 5, Funny

    People looking at porn on the internet should not be thinking about children.

  19. Re:Evolve or die on Pirate Bay Promotion Attracts Over 5000 Artists · · Score: 2

    Exposure is everything in entertainment industry. A sold out concert tour can rake in money in the 100-200 million dollar range. So if album sales were effectively zero popular artist could still be millionaires.

  20. Re:Games are an easy political issue on Bill Introduced To Ban Sale of MA15+ Games To Anyone Under 18 in SA · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying I believe this, correlation is not causation. But, you could argue that spikes in school shootings are caused by violent video games. Columbine the first highly publicized school shooting happend in 1999 shortly after violent video games became main stream. That could easily be cited as the effect you claim non-existant.

  21. Re:iOS but no Android on XBMC V11 Eden Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    Really? I swear I remeber reading that XMBC used Mplayer for playback. Still there are probably players that use ffmpeg on android (when VLC is finished there will be one for sure).

  22. Re:iOS but no Android on XBMC V11 Eden Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    I know what they are. My point was that the main decoder for XMBC is mplayer. So a good mplayer front-end should be just as good as XBMC for playback and superior because it has an interface for a phone.

  23. Re:iOS but no Android on XBMC V11 Eden Has Been Released · · Score: 1

    XMBC is developed for ios because of appletv. I've tried for my iPhone and it sucks (mainly becuase the interface isn't made for a phone). There are ports of mplayer for android use one of those its practically the same thing.

  24. Re:Why shouldn't Newgrounds be on that list? on T-Mobile's Optional Censorship Falls Down · · Score: 3, Funny

    Crappy adult games? Orgasm Girl is the best game I've ever played. What other game do you win when you give a girl an orgasm besides uhm... actual sex.

    Someone accomplishes some groundbreaking work in cryptography and of course /. doesn't have an article on untill its old news.
