  1. Re:End of IP bans? on Network Neutrality Is Law In Chile · · Score: 1

    a forum site is not an ISP

  2. Re:A Law That Guarantees on Network Neutrality Is Law In Chile · · Score: 1

    Well, we did talk about world domination for some time, but it was easier to just change the wording of the law.

  3. Re:Post-Fascism on Network Neutrality Is Law In Chile · · Score: 1

    hint: not all dictators are fascists. They all pretty much suck, though.

  5. half life series and counterstrike comming to osx? on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Doesn't anyone think it's strange that the article mentions that soon we'll be getting games on the mac that have been here for months?
    How old is this article?

  7. Re:md5? on Crack the Code In US Cyber Command's Logo · · Score: 2, Informative

    its just a hash; in theory you shouldn't be able to recover the original message from an md5sum, since several messages can have the same sum. There is no maximum length to what you can hash using md5.

    That cop deserves a medal

  9. Re:You big babies. It's 5.0, not 5.5. on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 2

    no, the exact formula is 2/3 log(M)-10.7. Therefore, a full step is actually 10^(3/2) (approximately 31) times stronger, not 10.

  10. Re:Penalty: Intentional Grounding. on David X. Cohen Talks About Futurama's New Season · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what exactly killed arrested development and family guy?

  11. Re:Shaking in Ottawa on 5.5 Earthquake Hits Canada; Felt in US Midwest, New England · · Score: 1

    As a resident of Chile, I don't get many opportunities to practice my oneupsmanship skills either.

  12. Re:Looks like I WIN! on Hints of Life Found On Saturn's Moon Titan · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe the term you are looking for is "Bazzinga"

  13. Re:Next up on Thumbprints Used To Check Books Out of School Library · · Score: 1

    From the article linked by GP:

    There's both a specific and a general moral to take away from this result. Matsumoto is not a professional fake-finger scientist; he's a mathematician. He didn't use expensive equipment or a specialized laboratory. He used $10 of ingredients you could buy, and whipped up his gummy fingers in the equivalent of a home kitchen. And he defeated eleven different commercial fingerprint readers, with both optical and capacitive sensors, and some with "live finger detection" features. (Moistening the gummy finger helps defeat sensors that measure moisture or electrical resistance; it takes some practice to get it right.) If he could do this, then any semi-professional can almost certainly do much much more.

    His gelly fingers defeat several liveness detection systems, including temperature, capacitance and moisture. Next time you should RTFA before criticizing it.

    real men read the appropriate xkcd comic.

    They also know when to stop a joke.

  15. Re:not going to work on File Sharing Remains a Perk of College Life · · Score: 1

    What about songs like March of the Black Queen? I'd hardly say it's not worth listening to, but Queen considered it too difficult to perform live. There has to be at least a hundred examples of such cases. You clearly don't know much about music.

  16. Re:Oh great... on 15 Years of Microsoft Bob · · Score: 1

    you just lost the game

  17. Umm... no on China's Great Firewall Infects Other Countries · · Score: 1

    Either they already fixed it or the article is wrong, because I'm in Chile and Facebook and Youtube seem fine to me

  18. Re:Who are you to cast aspersions? on Gamers Pay To Play With Girls · · Score: 1

    you do know that you can get porn for free online, right?

  19. Re:What About The Parents? on Later School Start For Teenagers Brings Drop In Absenteeism · · Score: 1

    Problem: your daughter wants to have sex and doesn't want to become a nun.

    Solution: make her as fat and ugly as possible to minimize the possibility that any given kid will want to have sex with her.

    How to deal with pedophiles who like chubby girls is left as an exercise to the reader.

    I bought a macbook pro four months ago and everything seems fine with cock... i mean me

  21. Re:What? on Toyota's Engineering Process and the General Public · · Score: 1

    Seriously? There's a way to test that every single piece of software works OK? Well, if that's the case just create a piece of software that tests if a certain code will stop no matter what its input is and win a turing award.

    Don't you mean a certain Austrian dictator?

  23. Re:This is how it's done where I'm from... on Why the IRS Should Automatically Fill In Returns With What It Knows · · Score: 1

    In Chile you open your browser, log in, click next a few times and then about two months later you get your tax return in your bank account and an email telling you that it's done.

  24. Re:Art? on Artwork Re-Sells Itself Weekly On eBay · · Score: 1

    Frank Zappa also said that all you need to be a real country is a beer and an airline. Maybe that's what's wrong with Haiti...

  25. Re:Programming without music? on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    I have a similar problem. I can only tune out certain styles of music without any lyrics, so that cuts down my choices of background music heavily. I mostly listen to Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert and some Oscar Peterson stuff. Easy to tune out and lovely to hear when you're not tunning it out.
