  3. Re:Not worth it. on Ask Slashdot: DIY NAS For a Variety of Legacy Drives? · · Score: 2

    "Even if you only make $10/hr. at your job, that means 2 hours of time spent messing around with this is worth the entire value of one of those old drives!"

    The idea that the wage you make at work applies to all your time is a fallacy. The ONLY exception is someone who can just say "Hey, I'm going to work a couple extra hours on the fly".

    And do you seriously believe the time learning and building technical stuff has the same value as some min. wage job?

    Great, you throw out perfectly good drive. Bully for you.

  4. Re:Please not another MMO on Bethesda Announces Elder Scrolls MMO · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's far better to sit alone ranting on /. and watching TV then it is to be with a group of friends gaming together.

    Science already solved that one..much like just about every other 'philosophical' question.

  13. Re:Kids shouldn't be playing on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    False. Many people have parlayed there football experience into careers.
    Because people love football, and if you play football you are therefore trustworthy. Football is hard, because it's hard it means you can do anything.
    So here is the VP position.

  14. Re:The solution is simple, though counterintuitive on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 2

    No, dumb ass. Then they will have to change how they hit, and with how much energy. Instead of a game of brutes, it instantly become a game with a new layer of strategy. Just like it used to be.

    I agree.

  16. Re:America's Most Popular Sport on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 2

    91 million watched the super bowl. The largest NASCAR race gets about 18 million.
    There are far more foot ball players then NASCAR driver.

    That said, it's irrelevant because the vast amount of NASCAR fans also watch football, the reverse is not true,.

    Under what possible measurement is NASCAR more popular them American football.

  17. Fan base? thics? HA on Growing Evidence of Football Causing Brain Damage · · Score: 1

    ALl the want is for that piece of meet to preform as it always or better, no matter what. Also, to sign stuff for free so they can resell it.

    I have heard to many of these fans scream and yell when a player goes down, or can't perform for some reason. I have heard them over and over again come up with excuse on why a player shouldn't be punished in a manner where they miss a game.

    And I am talking people from pre high school to pro.

  18. Re:ITAR is weird and often stupid on NASA Boss Accused of Breaking Arms Trade Laws · · Score: 1

    No, they don't make a good case.
    And ITAR is a good thing, mostly.

    Considering the first time it was used was talk about people who where brakeing the law:

    http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/first-recorded-usage-of-hacker

    Anyways, Hacker is like saying Driver.

    It's the context of the rest of the story that matters.

    Driver save a bus load of children with quick thinking. Drivers runs down pedestrian.

    Hacker steals credit card numbers. Hackers warn of 0 day exploit.

  21. Re:cracking not hacking on B&N Pulls Linux Format Magazine Over Feature On 'Hacking' · · Score: 1

    See, people here don't understand the news. Hacker does X is the same as Driver does X.

    IN the news, X will be a 'bad' thing. That doesn't not mean all Drivers or hackers are bad.

    Wow, are you from the PAST? That's was a valid point in 1995, now it's too late.
    And you definitions are fucking stupid.

    - hacker == hobbyist; enginner(sic) or technician - moral position is irrelevant
    - cracker == thief; like a safecracker - moral position is irrelevant.

    also - People who broke copy control, or modified games where also called crackers. Of course you don't seem me whining that everybody should keep using that term by its 1985 definition.
