  1. Re:Took long enough... on Microsoft Finally Bows to EU Antitrust Measures · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Fine if you want to keep it a secret, stay out of the EU. Nobody is forcing you to start a business.

  2. Re:Just give in.. Sooner or later you will anyway. on Hellgate Beta's In-Game Ads Raise Eyebrows · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a game, not the apocalypse or big brother or anything. If you use this scaremongering long enough it will lose all meaning and when the day comes that it gets nasty, nobody will believe you.

    Don't cry wolf if there's no wolf around.

    3 = 3 9x = 4 2k/xp = 5 vista = 6 7 = 7 9x = 4
    x = 4/9

    2k/xp = 5

    k = 1000

    2000 / xp = 5
    x = 4/9

    4500p = 5

    p = 1/900

    Windows == Solved!

  4. Re:Not enough on TSA to Contractors - Encrypt Your Laptops · · Score: 1

    Any encryption scheme can be brute force cracked if one has the time to do so. Actually, that is incorrect. One-time pads and matrix multiplication are both methods that are uncrackable without the key.

    Insert Fermi's paradox:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox

    Tell me, if there is such a ridiculous high chance of other life, where is it? There is not a single clue of extraterrestrial life and this will be a huge moneypit. Well, that and the moonrace.

  11. Way to go! on Qwest Punished by NSA for Non-Cooperation · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    in the Bush administration's domestic data-mining activity (i.e., spying on Americans). Way to show your bias here. Slashdot(i.e. the anti-Bush internet forum) is showing its true colors here.

  21. The indexing thing on 2007 Ig Nobel Awards Announced · · Score: 5, Insightful

    an Australian woman who documented the indexing problems caused by the word "the" Is it just me, or is that pretty handy to know. Words like "the" and "of" pretty much clutter non-smart registers.

  24. Been there, done that on The New Moon Race · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean, why? In the past there was the propaganda race for space and the moon. Now, it's pretty much useless to go to the moon.

    Moonbase? Big deal, it will be a huge waste of resources. I mean, what can you do on the moon? There's basically a lot of rocks there. Lower gravity? Who cares, we have the ISS for that and even that is a big barrel of pork. The cost to ship everything to maintain a moonbase is huge and the benifits are mostly of the teflon kind. I propose we stay on earth untill we find a way to do something usefull in space. Things like good telescopes and satelites.

    This will be the Ted Stevens of pork, the second race to the moon.

  25. Re:Don't mix entertainment with history on George Takei Now an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    I honestly can't believe how people blur the edges of reality and sci-fi series. You must be new here.
