  1. Re:we need to end drug prohibition on Mexico Decriminalizes Small-Scale Drug Possession · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just because someone "does drugs" doesn't mean they chainsmoke spiffs and shoot up every day and smoke crack on weekends. Most of my friends that partake in such things (usually MDMA, LSD, shrooms, that sort of thing) do them once every month, some less often.

    There are plenty of non addictive drugs that one can do without alerting anyone in the privacy of one's own home that don't significantly impact your life. You can never know who does and who does not do drugs, though I would place high likelihood on your neighbours not being drug dependant, it's entirely possible to be "reasonable" and take drugs every now and then just like it's possible to drink or smoke and still be socially acceptable in your world view.

    Not all drugs require paraphernalia, not all drugs are addictive and not all drug users are obvious about such things.

  2. Re:The buyers... on Gamerscore Hacking and Its Underground Economy · · Score: 1, Informative

    Clearly you have never played on xbox live, 10 minutes of a moronic 8 year out shouting "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" only ever interrupted by a cry demanding milk/cookies from their mother every now and then.

    The majority of xbox live players are morons that only care about one upping their friends so they look cool, they just fail to realise that their actions merely have the complete opposite effect.

  3. quelle surprise on Zer01 Parent Strips Web Site Following Report · · Score: 0

    A phone company that seriously wants to *not* utterly rape you that actually has the means to provide a service that works!?

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  4. Shockingly sensible on Med Students Get Training In Second Life Hospitals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Despite being incredibly skeptical of such substitutes for a first life this does seem like a ridiculously good idea for filling such a gap in education given what a leap it must be between classroom knowledge and actually dealing with real world patients.

    I must admit that I'm just utterly amazed that someone's actually thought of a way to use second life that isn't utterly futile and useless.

  5. This is why I quit WoW on Massively Single-Player Gaming? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I started to realise that I actively hated having to group with other people to the point that I'd obnoxiously subject prospective party members to simple logic tests to find out whether they were functionally mentally disabled or not. I'd just avoid any sort of quest that would require me to interact with other people, at the time realms were closed off so the actual real live friends of mine were invariably on other realms or completely inappropriate levels to quest with me. Where does it get sane to pay a monthly fee for the ability to avoid playing with others online? If I wanted that I'd actually bother to pay for an xbox live gold subscription, at least with that I can still play the damn games instead of having their content entirely withdrawn from me despite having paid for it.

  6. Web 2.0? on The Amazing World of Software Version Numbers · · Score: 0

    I'm both shocked and appalled that the article made no mention of Web 2.0 as the absolute *worst* abuse of version numbers.

    Oh well.

  7. Re:it's pants on New Xbox Experience Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, I rarely use my 360 these days so I found it only to be an annoyance while trying to navigate to my arcade games, I just liked the simplicity of the blade system and how I didn't feel like I was having media thrown at me.

  8. it's pants on New Xbox Experience Goes Live · · Score: 1, Informative

    The Blade system worked fine, having played with the new one for a little while I have to say it appear to blow goats, it's not particularly intuitive and it doesn't make brilliant use of screen real estate. The mii creation rip is reasonably well implemented though, I managed to make someone who looks remarkably like myself, which I've never managed on a wii.

  9. be lazy on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    Be lazier, I simply can't be arsed to eat most of the time so consume only about a thousand calories a day, given my sedentary lifestyle this results in me being a twig.

  10. Re:There is only one true keyboard... on Review of Das Keyboard · · Score: 2, Funny

    My girlfriend has got through a couple, one snapped right across the middle. She's is however built like a brick shit house and has bones made of unobtainium. They're not *that* indestructible.
