  1. Don't worry... on U.S. Continues Biological Warfare Research · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, don't worry, it doesn't infect humans.

    Er, wait.

    The work has not stopped there. The cowpox virus, which infects a range of animals including humans, has been genetically altered in a similar way.

    Uh-oh.

  2. Corporations pleased. on Cockroaches Daubed With Yeast As WMD Sensors? · · Score: 1

    In other news, sales of 'Raid' have increased dramatically in the middle-east.

    Well, a picture IS worth a thousand words (or ten thousand, if the words are from a Tolkien book). I wonder how many words a motion picture is worth?

  4. Re:Cheap printer cartridges for all! on Copyright Office Rules Against Lexmark · · Score: 1

    The thing about getting them from ebay, though, is that they'll only charge you $2 for the cartridge, but then charge $8 for the shipping. Both those sites have free shipping.

  5. Ugh. on Info Glut - Five Exabytes of Data Created in 2002 · · Score: 1

    With all the time I spend at work, it seems like I've created about half of that.

    Ah, crap. That'll teach me not to preview my posts.

    The correct link for ABCInkjets is here.

  7. Cheap printer cartridges for all! on Copyright Office Rules Against Lexmark · · Score: 1

    Cheap printer cartridges for all!

    http://www.monsterinkjets.com/ - They only have Apple, Canon, Epson, and Xerox, but they're incredibly cheap (usually a couple dollars at most), and they have free shipping. Minimum order of $10, but considering that $10 worth of ink at this site will probably last you until your printer breaks, it's not so bad.

    ABCInkjets - They're anywhere from a bit to a bunch more expensive depending on model (most are like $5/$6 from what I saw, but of course the one I need is $20), but they have a much bigger selection. Free shipping there too.

    Got it, thanks. Compsci talk is so much easier to understand than legalspeak.

    For some reason I thought I had read that the ruling couldn't be appealed. I guess not, I must be on crack. Thanks.

  10. Hmm. on W3C Requests Eolas Patent Re-Examination · · Score: 1

    Didn't Microsoft already pay Eolas "damages"? What would happen if the patent did get revoked? Would MS get their money back?

  11. Re:yeah..nice on New Optical Chip Claims 8 Trillion Operations/sec. · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why does it matter how large it is, as long as it's not ridiculous? Think about how much empty space there is in your box right now, would a processor that's maybe two or three times the size of current processors REALLY be that big of a deal?

    Fortunately, many of us do not have a use for night vision in our imagination.

  13. Re:Where were those G5 going?!? on Microsoft Fires Mac Fan For Blog Photo · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, considering that they DO develop mac software (Office, IE), I don't think it's really a mystery why they wanted the boxes.

  14. Song. on Grand Theft Auto - The Scarface Connection · · Score: 3, Funny

    Someday we'll find it - the Scarface connection. The lovers, the gamers, and me.

    Somebody call the "Paranoia Rangers".

    Uh, those articles ARE all real, they're just put in the "strange news" section. Yahoo news has a similar section.

  17. Re:Aren't obesity and traffic self-limiting? on The Problem With Abundance · · Score: 1

    Isn't the problem with traffic the fact that you CAN'T drive fast?

  18. Re:Where's Napster's Suger? on Napster Pre-Paid Cards · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's Napster! They don't HAVE to have a business plan to make money! (at least last time they didn't)

    I want to see them try this with the Borg cube.

    a) I know no gay gamers.

    According to a lot of people who play online games, everyone but them is gay. "OMG WALLHACK U FAG"

  21. Clean infected hosts? on Using Honeypots to Fight Worms · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Launching counter attacks to clean infected hosts? I see how this could be useful for internal networks where you actually have permission to clean machines, but it had better be restricted to that network, otherwise this could cause some major legal problems...

  22. Re:Why is the iPod so much better? on Dell DJ: Yet Another MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I think part of it is because usually other manufacturers skimp somewhere in order to make their player less expensive than the iPod. I very frequently hear "If the iPod were less expensive, I'd buy one." All these companies are trying to get that market, the people who want a nice hard drive MP3 player, but want one that's inexpensive as well. Unfortunately, because they're aiming for the cheap market, the players tend to be crap.

  23. Er, yeah. on Nokia 7700 - "Multimedia Terminal" · · Score: 1

    .. and I bet it'll sell just as well as the Nokia N-Gage, which isn't really a phone or a portable game console, but something inbetween.

    Yeah, they make killer mice.

  25. Re:RealOne on Which Adware and Spyware are the Most Insidious? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, but that still doesn't take care of the fact that the software is crap. Back when I had Windows 2000 installed, the only time I got a blue screen was when I was using realplayer.
