  1. Re:get rid of adds on PC Virus Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    You are both wrong. The plural would be "virii" if and only if the singular were "virius". The correct pluralization is "viri".

  2. Re:coincidence? on Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets · · Score: 1

    Damn, sounds like people had one too many awesome hotel parties.

  3. Re:Cannon on Angry Birds and Parabolic Instinct In Humans · · Score: 1

    I remember playing that with my cousin and discovering that you could set a pretty high velocity for the banana throw; the game had a rather simple clipping detection algorithm and the bananas would penetrate partway through obstacles.

    Give it a few more days and you'll be so misanthropic that you decide that mankind should be left to wallow in its filth, undeserving of salvation.

  5. Re:Actually it does to some extent on Trend Micro Chairman Says Open Source Is a Security Risk · · Score: 1

    He's just saying that one takes longer to brute force?

    What's so special about a hyperlink that JS is needed to show it? Sounds like the site was designed to force you to allow privacy violating (i.e. cookie depositing) code in order to browse it. Kinda goes against the nature of the web.

  10. Re:Hollywood knows what to do on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 1

    "Nuke-lee-ar" is still three syllables. You don't say "new-clear", do you?

    Save us, Obi-wan?

  12. Re:Damn linux users! on The Challenge In Delivering Open Source GPU Drivers · · Score: 1

    The people that care this much about GPU drivers on Linux are likely to build their machines from individual components rather than get a brand-name PC.

  14. Re:Or they flew over a CAFO on Thousands of Blackbirds Fall From Sky Dead · · Score: 1

    I have a degree and a decent paying full-time job; too much debt to effectively save money thanks to financing my own education.

  15. Re:So what? on Our Lazy Solar Dynamo — Hello Dalton Minimum? · · Score: 2

    The only reason people go hungry today is due to political strife. There is a huge surplus in food grown around the world.

    He means convenient transactions. Go shout that you have nothing to hide somewhere else.

  23. Re:URL Bar on Firefox 4 Beta 8 Up · · Score: 1

    You're either a machine or just resistant to change. Or you don't actually browse anything but static sites where you can memorize URLs (but then why return, nothing is new?).

    Forgot the video id of that youtube video you want to show to a friend? Didn't bookmark or subscribe to that thread on a forum? Just type a few words in the Awesome Bar and you'll usually have it right there in the top ten results.
