  1. Re:I wonder how Symantec, Norton, et will react on AV-Test Deems Windows Security Essentials "Very Good" · · Score: 1

    Would there be a claim if Microsoft all of a sudden created an operating system that didn't require an antivirus solution?

    There is no difference here. Much like any other business in a free market economy, when their market dries up they're free to fail^h^h^h^hobtain government funding, costing the tax payer millions of dollars, to spend on a business model which is failing to produce a product which obviously nobody needs or wants to buy anymore.

  2. Re:I like the decoration on Hitler's Stealth Fighter · · Score: -1, Troll

    The stealth technology is the driving point in both the story, and the remaking of the model. You noticed that I didn't say anything about the Iron Crosses at the wing tips?

    There's "This is appropriate as it was part of the original aircraft design" and there's "AMAGAD DIS IS FRUM NAZIS GURMANIEZ WE NEEDZ SAWRSTIKKURZ OR PPLZ WONT GETZ IT!11" sensationalism.

    I stand by my statement.

    The banners in the background are extremely effective in demonstrating the stealth capabilities of the aeroplane.

    Totally unnecessary.

    I'm the kind of guy who is willing to kill

    That makes you and I different, then. The capacity to end another human life is something I never, ever hope I need to test myself for, and I hope that if I does come down to that point that I did absolutely everything in my power to avoid that situation, including personal financial loss.

    Any other course of action is called "murder" and has nothing to do with being "pussified." I simply value human life as worth more than $500, no matter the human. Perhaps that's why I vote Liberal, too.

    EDIT: Whoa there, I almost missed this gem:

    YOU are saying that the material good itself isn't worth dying over, but it is worth killing over.

    I said nothing of the sort. I wouldn't risk being killed over a $500 iPhone, and I wouldn't kill anyone for a $500 iPhone. That is what I said. I make no assumptions regarding the value others put on my life, or that iPhone, so I don't test their boundaries.

    Go back to Primary School and work on your reading comprehension.

    On 3G iPhones, when the keypad is unlocked take a picture with the videocall camera and email / MMS (with 3.0) it to the owner. Guaranteed to be looking straight at the damn thing.

    It's not a question of being willing to confront someone over a lost item, it's a question of which is more valuable to me; An iPhone, or my immediate health.

    I can't put a monetary price on not being stabbed, but I'm pretty sure that if a thug with a knife came up to me in an alley and demanded my mobile phone, my response would more than likely be "Would you like a receipt with that?"

  21. Re:I always maintained blue ray was moot on Blu-ray Adoption Soft, More Still Own HD DVD · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The first HD movie I watched was "300" on my mates' PS3 linked to a 46" Hi-Def TV (full 1080p). I'll never watch another Hi-Def movie again.

    The definition was so good that I could see the seperations around the actors and knew exactly when they were in front of a green screen and no on set. Totally ruined the visuals (which is, in all honesty, the only reason to watch that movie).

    Total waste of money. I'm happy with my 24" monitor and DVD drive in my PC (which actually runs up to 1920x1200, higher than Hi-Def).

    Yeah, it's a dream. In order to get the populace informed regarding what they are entitled to do, what their rights are, and what they should expect in return, you'll need to get hold of their attention, and that means a slot in the adverts of Britain's Got Talent, front page of The Sun, or get Jeremy Vine to argue counter-points with you.

    As all but the last have an interest in selling disinformation to the masses, or just irrelevant "news" I believe you're SOOL.

    Maybe if you can get Amy Winehouse to do something unhygenic with one of their products, you'll get the ball rolling.
