  1. Attention teenage single mothers on The Real Body Snatchers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Want to own your own home instead of leeching one off the taxpayer? Apply inside. $250,000 could be yours.

  2. Re:Anti-bots? on Most Spam Comes From Just Six Botnets · · Score: 1

    There's some sites that do this. I once got a "You are on the SBL, you cannot access this page" message. Was just about to format my hard drive when I remembered:
    1)I was on a dynamic IP
    2)My PC was sans PSU when the email was sent.

  3. Re:How much spam do you actually get? on Most Spam Comes From Just Six Botnets · · Score: 1

    I *used* to get next to no spam at all - maybe 2-3 mails a month. Unfortunately, I then created a mod for Oblivion which included an obfuscated version of my email in the readme for bug reporting, feedback etc. Gamershell, Fileplanet and Filefront then very helpfully added my file to their servers, and included the readme with deobfuscated address on the download page. Now I get 500 a day at times - fortunately, all but 1 or 2 a week get caught straight so it's just a matter of emptying the Trash folder every now and then.

  8. Re:organizations that prohibit criticism on Wikileaks Airs Scientology Black Ops · · Score: 1

    No.. no other religion beheads, uses fear, kills indiscriminately, or uses other reprehensible methods and calls themselves just and pure. True. You see, what you've used there is called the present tense. If you want to compare modern event to ones happening 300+ years ago in a desperate attempt to prove moral equivalence you need something called the past tense.
  9. Obligatory on iPhone SDK Rules Block Skype, Firefox, Java ... · · Score: 0, Troll

  14. Possibly on FreeBSD 7.0 Bests Linux In SMP Performance · · Score: 3, Funny

    While a couple of benchmarks are not conclusive evidence, it can be assumed that FreeBSD will once again be a serious performance contender Right up until someone displays a crucifix, that is.

  17. Re:I asked GOD on 'Death Star' Aimed at Earth · · Score: 1

    Archeology backs up most of the Bible so it's not just a book to be taken on faith. Shame about palentology, geology, astronomy, chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics then, isn't it?
  18. Re:One of the many "theories",,, on Bill Allows Teachers to Contradict Evolution · · Score: 1

    Purple elephant? Heretic. Everyone knows the world was formed by a green caterpillar.

  19. What kind of QA is this? on OLPC Mesh Networking Tester Explains How It Works · · Score: 3, Funny

    Testing in the Australian outback, Cameron discovered that the range of the XO could go up to 1.6km 'quite easily' at 1.5m above ground. 'Assuming a range of 1.6km holds true, (the mathematical formula for area of a circle) Pi R squared tells us one well placed mesh node will cover up to eight square kilometers.' Test data should be extrapolated from to assist in promoting fear and despondency among project managers, not validating requirements. Please hand in your testing card at the next available opportunity and go and work in marketing where you belong.

  22. Re:Nice, but.... on Jack Thompson Served With Order to Show Cause · · Score: 1

    Like it or not, it's because there are so many guns in private ownership. Just like in Switzerland? Perhaps they should try gun control, it's been such a success here in England.
  23. Re:This is progress? on Brain Control Headset for Gamers · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, there are gigantic slums of the poor dying off due to starvation because they have no jobs because the robots can do it for less Good they'll have welfare then, isn't it? Partly because these evil corporations who've transferred power from democratic government still need someone to buy their products, and partly because from a pragmatic viewpoint it's easier to give them taxpayer funded bread and circuses than deal with food riots. People don't starve quietly, as the Romanovs and Bourbons couldn't tell you.

    Governments won't care because the transfer of power from democratic governments will move to our increasingly large corporations - think feudal Corporations are interested in making money. Feudalism's a shit system for that. Think oligarchy instead.

    We don't need a hostile AI takeover to enslave us in the Matrix; we have been enslaving ourselves in the Matrix ever since the industrial revolution. To which I'd reply with the same question I have for all primitivists - yes, the industrial age fucked up society in a big way, but who chooses which 4/5ths of the world's population dies so we can all go back to some pastoral utopia?

    I also find it hard to believe that they evolved.

  25. Re:Assembly language is obsolete? on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    I was thinking in terms of handhelds rather than 360s and PS3s. I've only done a tiny bit of x86 ASM, but I can imagine how coding in ASM for the Cell processor could turn you into a gibbering, drooling wreck.
