  1. Re:Please let it be!! on WHO Raises Swine Flu Threat Level · · Score: 1

    Today, "investigative reporting" means blowing trivial and menial things completely out of proportion, asking non-experts their oppinions, and twisting experts words into doom and gloom.

    You're absolutely right!

    It's the end of journalism as we know it.

    And what will come after? The end of Internet? The Armaggeddon?!

  2. Re:Weight problems? on Russian Manned Space Vehicle May Land With Rockets · · Score: 1

    they must think that adding that extra fuel weight (for landing) is worth the extra fuel weight

    Or, they could get their fuel on space.

    Is there any cheap way of sending light materials to a space station and turn them into fuel there to make a refueling orbital station for returning spaceships?

  7. Re:Sloppy espionage ? on Computer Spies Breach $300B Fighter-Jet Project · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now, I sit down in my home in China, run some scripts, hack a US government computer, brag to my friends, etc.... Someone from the US government calls... wait a minute, no they didn't. No one even cared. But lets pretend they did care and they called some official in China and told them what was going on... *LAUGHTER AND LOTS OF POINTING* from the Chinese side.

    I sit down in my home in Spain, run some scripts, hack a US government computer, brag to my friends, etc.... Someone from the spanish government takes a sip from his third coffee of the morning while vaguely rememorating the last time he did some work, many years before. Then, he decides it's a perfect day to go home before noon and leaves.

    If you need a computer in the lab connected to the internet, fine, just keep the infrastructure seperate.

    You live in the past. Haven't you heard of the new airborne virii?

    They're technically called. "I work in a lab and don't know shit about computers so I regularly download all info into my personal portable".

  9. Re:Elder Scrolls ? on Bethesda Announces New Fallout Game For 2010 · · Score: 1

    Will they manage to release two large titles in the same year, or will they just postpone TES 5 ?

    They should create a common engine for a double release of Fallout 4 and TES 5.

    Or even a triple release with WhateverTheyComeUpWith 1. I'll buy any instance of morrowind as long as they keep the total freedom part.

    My vote goes to Space-Morrowind 1.

    I'm with you.

    I programmed an app when I was 20 and I should get money from it for the rest of my life.

    All this stealing shit is forcing me to actually work every day to get paid.

    Programmers should be like rock stars!

    However, in this unfair, evil world, the contrary will eventually be true.

    Tough luck.

  16. Re:Stop with the legitimate business line on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    1) Sharing copyright material is not allowed
    2) They set up a site to PROMOTE and SUPPORT the piracy of copyright material
    3) They named the site after the "crime" of piracy
    4) They kept saying "nah, nah, na, na, nah, can't catch us"

    So let's say I build a bar:
    - Knowing that killing people is illegal.
    - Call it "Killers Bar".
    - Publicly say that I'm in favour of killing every single human being on earth as long as it's for money and that I don't care if contract killers use my bar to make their deals.
    - Keep saying "nah, nah, nah, can't catch me".

    I should be accused of promoting murder and sent to jail?

    You, my friend, live in a pretty strange world.
