  1. Re:This is why I love macs on Another DNS Flaw Found, Patched · · Score: 0

    This is probably the funniest first post I've read. It's "original". Great work :D

  2. Re:What? on Happy Festivus · · Score: 0

    Maybe. There is a Seinfeld episode with Festivus, opposed to Christmas etc. "The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!"

  3. Re:I am the bug, this is my FP.!! on Microsoft Rushes Internet Explorer Patch · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Yes, but you need the Greasemonkey plugin :)

  4. Re:Battle for Wesnoth on Great Games To Put On a Free PC? · · Score: 0

    +1 for Teeworlds. Although it is only multiplayer.

  5. Re:Not enough history on Long-Term Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 0

    Ah okay. I didn't know that. Thanks :) P.s. I didn't know hard disc drives were sentient.

  6. Re:Not enough history on Long-Term Personal Data Storage? · · Score: 0

    Do hard disc drives really fail that quickly? Say right now you buy a 500gig drive, then pop it in your computer, copy all the data, then remove it from your computer and store it in another box/container. You're telling me that in 5 years time the hard disc drive could just die? Exactly why would anything like that happen? "Nothing" is happening to the drive, yet it is able to stuff itself up somehow. Excuse my ignorance :)

  7. Greedy dickhead on Russian Hopes To Cash In On Emoticons · · Score: 0

    Wow, what a dickhead!

  8. Re:Valve are NOT quick at releasing patches for bu on Left 4 Dead Bug Patched Quickly, EVE Exploit Takes 4 Years · · Score: 0

    Just because it doesn't have 10 billion players, like Counter-Strike doesn't mean nobody plays it. http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ then click "View Steam players per game". As you can see, it is 9th on the list. It's definitely not unpopular! There was only a bug-fixing update a few weeks before the Verizon US$100 000 duel tourney. Valve have basically Left HL2: DM 4 Dead.

  9. Valve are NOT quick at releasing patches for bugs on Left 4 Dead Bug Patched Quickly, EVE Exploit Takes 4 Years · · Score: 1, Insightful

    G'day, I'd like to point out that Valve isn't usually this quick. Take for example Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, the multiplayer component for the famous single player game. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=248425 http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=76660 These two links list quite a few bugs. There hasn't be a decent update for HL2: DM in about 2 fucking years.

  10. Re:This is why copyright laws are bad on FSF Files Suit Against Cisco For GPL Violations · · Score: 0

    There is some truth in what you're saying... This is from the Free Software song: When we have enough free software At our call, hackers, at our call, We'll throw out those dirty licenses Even Stallman recognises them as being bad, or "dirty".

  11. Re:First on Evolution of Mona Lisa Via Genetic Programming · · Score: 1, Funny

    But I'm not a coward ;)

    Whoopee!

    lol Oh shit, sorry. Whirlpool is gay (they don't value free speech, and delete posts a lot), just forget I even mentioned it :)

  14. Re:This can only get better on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 0

    I laughed out loud.

  15. Insane on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is totally insane. There is a thread over at Whirlpool about this: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1101155 A child has not been abused. The rational behind the child porno laws is to prevent children from being abused... Or so I thought.

  16. Chaser on Gears of War 2 Patched To Fix Matchmaking Issues, Problems Persist · · Score: 0

    How much fat is too much fat?

  17. Movement on New Time-Trial Maps Coming to Mirror's Edge · · Score: 0

    This looks interesting. But you really cannot get much cooler than QuakeWorld or CPMA.

  18. James Boyle's New Book Under CC License on James Boyle's New Book Under CC License · · Score: 0

    That doesn't tell us much really... At least in the blurb. Not all the CC licenses share the same goal, of freedom.

  19. Re:Google Chrome on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 0

    I laughed out loud. :)

  21. Re:Yep. on Can You Be Denied the Right To Support OSS? · · Score: 0

    "If a company releases the source to a program, by definition that program is "Open Source"." I don't think so (I could be wrong, however). Sure, the source might be "open" and available, but that doesn't mean it's open source. It depends on the license that code is under. A programs source code could be freely available, but with restrictions attached to what you can/cannot do with the source, therefore it might not be "open source". It's all got to do with the license... Like not all open source programs are free software programs.

  22. Re:First! on Rock Band Creators Hit With Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    C:\Games\GTAVC\gta-vc.exe ftw!

  23. Rage - RAAOTB on Online Carpooling Service Fined In Canada · · Score: 1

    Rage Against An Ontario Transportation Board, featuring vocalist Zack de la Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford, and drummer Brad Wilk.

  24. Re:shouldn't be legal on The Trap Set By the FBI For Half Life 2 Hacker · · Score: 1

    Dude - He got owned by the FBI. The way I see it, is that the FBI are the hackers. They successfully tricked another hacker, therefore FBI > the guy.

  25. Rage on Microsoft Denies Paying Nigerians $400K To Ditch Linux · · Score: 1

    Global controls will have to be imposed, and a world governing body will be created to enforce them. Crises, precipitate change.
