  1. Re:Other countries should start policing Internet on US Pirate Movie Site DNS Seizure Fail · · Score: 1

    How is taking down a website for unlawful behavior compare to executing someone for what other people are legally saying on his website? If the government called in an air strike on tvshack's headquarters, then it would be a fair comparison.

  2. Re:Friend, I am about to destroy your arguments. on ChromeOS Zero Released · · Score: 1

    OK, let me get this straight. You are saying that ONE computer in one house, accessed through ONE internet provider, (maybe two) is better than billions of dollars of hardened data centers from Google, Microsoft, Rackspace, etc? I suggest you wake up and smell the ubiquitous data access dood, before someone decides to jack your vintage Sun workstation from your basement. I will not mention the cell networks, since you depend on those very same networks, just like everybody else, unless you're home and a flood, fire or brownout has not nuked your hardware, along with all your data. (Yeah, I know, offsite backups, how many days till you're back up, if you can find the key to the safety deposit box, redundancy is a bitch in a non-virtual environment)

    Jeez, why do I feel I like drank my slurpee too fast? Thanks for the info dump! :)

  4. Re:It's how it affects you, not if on Video Game Conditioning Spills Over Into Real Life · · Score: 1

    Exactly! This is a classic conditioning exercise. Whether done in a video game or with flash cards, *you are going to be conditioned*! :) Of course, this rarely translates IRL as cleanly, but, *you are going to be conditioned*! :) If something is repeated often enough, in whatever form, *you are going to be conditioned*! :)

    TFA doesn't say anything about skin color. Its only 200 words or so long, try reading it. At least you labeled your post correctly!

  6. Re:Economic Incentive to Mislabel? on DNA Bar Coding Finds Mislabeled Sushi · · Score: 1

    Obviously you weren't here two days ago when "for all intensive purposes" was enshrined in the /. lexicon. (at least in my book!) So re-facking-lax, I was trying to be funny! :)

    For all intensive purposes, "south specific" is a geographic location? Add that to the list of neo-homophonics, eexcelent!

    Since you are on slashdot, you probably have nothing to worry about.

    Since you are on slashdot, you probably have a backup!

  9. Re:if you have an iPhone 1.0, how stupid do feel? on WWDC '08 Sees Slimmer, Improved, 3G iPhone · · Score: 1

    Me no do feel stupid now, as me has do been using iphone for.... Oh, screw the witty reply - it's been the best phone year of my life, and you are dumb. Yep, me like it too, makes every other handset look and feel like a joke.
  10. Re:Air Bags on Tesla Motors Opens Retail Store · · Score: 1

    If you think that an airbag is going to make a difference between life and death if you have a close encounter with a semi or a full-on F350, you're deluded. So on one hand you are saying we have no chance of surviving, and on the other you are saying that, like your friend, we don't need them. So which one is it? All I'm saying is that they are better than nothing, certainly more than some lawyer's superfluous requirement, as you suggested. If I have a choice, I'll take bouncing my head off an airbag than off an F350 bumper!
  11. Re:Air Bags on Tesla Motors Opens Retail Store · · Score: 1

    Last time I looked, there weren't any tractor trailers on the track at Indianapolis, or super duty facking F350's either. Not to mention the dearth of non-exploding plexiglass windshields and big-ass roll cages on normal roads full of large vehicles with often inattentive drivers. A close look (not on TV) at a real race car would make it blindingly obvious why they don't need airbags and we do...

  12. Re:"x terrorist" label starting to piss me off on China's Cyberwar Against India · · Score: 1

    Well, that's like saying you can portscan whomever you want with your one little computer. Do you think you might notice if 1 million computers were portscanning you? Is it really the same thing? Hmmmm....

  13. Re:Use Both Traditional and Ramjet on Reaction Engines plan Mach 5 Airliner · · Score: 1

    Nuclear engines in atmosphere? Not likely! It seems you are slightly confused. This is a purely atmospheric vehicle, the examples you mention are for space vehicles. They just want to go to Sydney, not the moon. :)

  14. Re:Click through and find the answer.... on Math on iPhones Just Doesn't Add Up? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, that's easy then. 4400*150=660,000. Apple said they are selling 20,000 iPhones a day, so that would be 600,000 per month. Soo I guess the channel is only "stuffed" for one month plus 10%. Not exactly excessive...

  17. Re:Note taking on How Students Are 'Evolving' With Technology · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's because your first learning experiences were with "pencil and paper". Most of our brains get hardwired with the initial learning context. I know it is almost impossible for me to learn without holding something in my hands. This applies to most college students as well. The real digital generation grew up with the *internet*, not random gadgets. I have a nephew that memorized and was typing in his (long, ugly) game url's since he was 4, before he could write. He is now 11 and at school he was having trouble learning the traditional way, even though he is very smart. His parents got him an account with online tutors from India, and his grades went to straight A's in a month. He is sucking everything in effortlessly as long as he is in front of a computer.
