  1. Wait, what? on Nobel Winner Says Internet Might Have Stopped Hitler · · Score: 1

    Are you sure they meant our internet? Because certainly some areas would be quite enthralled with Hitler's plans. I'd rather think of it as a support system.

  2. This is why... on Time To Discuss Drug Prohibition? · · Score: 1

    we should have voted for Nader.

  3. Re:First post from original /. article on Xbox 360 Laptop Creator Unveils Sleek New Design · · Score: 1

    No it hasn't, it was up at least 10 minutes before you posted this comment. Images and all.

  4. Sleek? on Xbox 360 Laptop Creator Unveils Sleek New Design · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I wouldn't exactly call it sleek, but then again, you're trying to turn a 360 into a laptop...

  5. Because it's Vista on Why Use Virtual Memory In Modern Systems? · · Score: 1

    I have 3GB of RAM and my swap has never been touched, in Linux at least.

  6. Yet another reason... on EMA Suggests Point-Of-Sale Game Activation To Fight Piracy · · Score: 1

    to simply torrent it.

  7. Konqueror on Too Good To Ignore — 6 Alternative Browsers · · Score: 1

    Where WebKit came from.

  8. Stop whining on What Needs Fixing In Linux · · Score: 1

    Why don't you send less time complaining and more time fixing. Open source is open for a reason.

  9. Also, on Diet of Fast Food and Candy May Cause Alzheimer's · · Score: 1

    MSG.

  10. Re:Oh really? on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    Obviously the holocaust and the meat industry are two radically different things, but the point stands. They were talking about the shock images and videos, not equating Jews killed during the holocaust to animals killed for food.

  11. Re:Oh really? on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    I hope you realize that no one expects to take you seriously when you talk like that.

  12. Doomsday on Earliest LHC Restart Slated For Late Summer 2009 · · Score: 1

    They need to postpone it to 2012. That way we can double up on our doomsday.

  13. Re:Peta out of control - Now in Warcraft! on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    God gave Adam dominion of all life on the earth to use as he saw fit.

    Why can't we kill humans, then?

    I'm by no means a peta insider, but I would certainly hope that they don't condone such activities. What its members do doesn't necessarily represent the organization as a whole.

  14. Re:Peta out of control on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    It is entirely relevant. If a human is not a "person", then what precisely is it? They are animals, no? And if they are animals, what rights do they have?

  15. Re:Best part on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    No, they're supposed to be unconscious.

  16. Re:Why did this vision suddenly pop in to my head? on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, no?

  17. Re:As they say... on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    People have a problem killing sentient animals to eat. Plants don't have feelings. If they do, I've missed out on a huge scientific enlightenment.

  18. Re:Peta out of control on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    The difference is that we look fondly upon our own race, despite all the havoc that we've wreaked upon this world. This is the same type of hypocrisy that pro-life supporters inevitably run into: a fetus is not capable of anything more than an "animal" is, yet we shouldn't kill it because it is alive and has rights. But wait! The animals that are much more developed than a human fetus don't have rights, and can be killed and eaten on a regular basis.

  19. Re:lol peta on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 1

    The worst part is that people actually think they taste better when they're tortured.

  20. Re:Peta out of control on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Peta does manage to convert people to their cause, but the majority are turned away from it because of the methods they employ. I am for ethical treatment of animals, including farm animals, but I don't need a shock video to convince me. It's more disturbing than anything else.

    I wish they could find a better way to spread their message.

  21. lol peta on PETA Using Games To Spread Its Message · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Even as a vegetarian, I'll admit peta is out of control.

  22. Need I remind you... on Gaming Benchmarks For the New MacBook Pros · · Score: 2, Funny

    Photoshop, as fun as CS4 may be, is not a game.

  23. Re:Alternatively... on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine how this would move anyone from Mac or Linux. They would gain so many more customers if they could proclaim it virus-free from the get-go.

  24. Re:Alternatively... on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    That's what I thought too, but it's free.

  25. Alternatively... on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    Or they could, y'know, fix the damned exploits in the first place.
