  1. Buy the textbook or fail the class. on White House Cracks Down On Piracy & Counterfeiting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Were you forced into buying the product?" Yes, in order to succeed in the class, I was required to buy the selected textbook. And no, not last year's used edition, the brand new edition with at a premium. That's as closed to "forced to buy the product" as I can think of short of a gun barrel in my mouth.

  2. More punch is great and all.... on Carbon Nanotube Batteries Pack More Punch · · Score: 1

    But I'm really in the market for a battery that packs a bit more kick. Kick of the roundhouse type -- to the face!

  3. Re:Big fucking deal. on Tornado Scientists Butt Heads With Storm Chasers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Silly rednecks, you would think they'd know that staying in their trailer park would grant them the best view.

    I AM BUILDING, thank you very much.

    Agreed, the scientists started somewhere, just because the "amateurs" aren't being compensated and don't have a million dollar chase vehicle doesn't mean they have any less right to follow the storms - fuck off.

  6. Re:there's two competing views of humanity on Australian Government May Shelve Internet Filter · · Score: 1

    How do you account for such low rape and murder numbers in middle east countries where their societies are strictly repressive?

  7. Re:Big surprise! on Australian Government May Shelve Internet Filter · · Score: 1

    You're all outdated - stun guns work great from birth.

  8. Re:How to Speak Austrailian on Australian Government May Shelve Internet Filter · · Score: 1

    "Nothing is too bad for the rest of the world." Except Internet filters and having your laptop searched for porn by customs.

  10. It would certainly help with search results. on Google Urged To Let Personal Data Fade Away · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Then I'd stop finding two and three year old solutions to new problems in new versions of software. Yeah, you can "filter" Google search results by date, but filter features are mediocre at best... And I'm unaware of a way to make them persistent. The majority of my Google search now-a-days end up as "searchterm" and then twenty "-negativekeywords" following it.

  11. "News"? on J. P. Barlow — Internet Has Broken the Political System · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the government was broken long before the Internet.

  12. Don't forget Pretty Wild!! on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    I don't know what's better, that or Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Gems, SON.

  13. Re:Errr on Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn · · Score: 1

    You'll be really embarrassed after they find your stash.

  14. Eye of Sauron on Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn · · Score: 1

    And change your wallpaper to goatse.cx.

  15. They shouldn't need any porn. on Australia Air Travelers' Laptops To Be Searched For Porn · · Score: 0, Troll

    Their government is full of dicks and their citizens are nothing but pussies. Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism strictly enforced. Their country is perverted far beyond any porn ever could be.

  16. SAVE THE PANDA BEARS on Quantum Entanglement and Photosynthesis · · Score: 1

    We need to know how to digest bamboo.

  17. I hope they give them extensive legal training too on Students Flock To GMU For a Degree In Video Game Design · · Score: 1

    So that they are prepared to get sued by and counter-sue their publisher a half-dozen times.

  18. Terrorist on "Phone In One Hand, Ticket In the Other" · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I bet you "fund terrorism" too. Killed any family members recently? Let me know when you emerge from your weed cocoon. What's your anti-drug?

  19. This will teach them! on Ubisoft's Authentication Servers Go Down · · Score: 1

    To publish games for the PC! Should have cut their losses and stuck with consoles. Which are really just hardware DRM implementations. I don't support any sort of DRM in the least bit, but aren't we being a bit rabid regarding the situation? The game work again ... someday?

  20. Re:What's a Paypal? on PayPal Freezes Cryptome's Account · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hey, let's play a game called "make up hypothetical situations to support our arguments." In this corner they're bulldozering our house. In the opposite corner they're buying us a mansion. WHO WILL WIN!?!

  21. Re:What's a Paypal? on PayPal Freezes Cryptome's Account · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I support your stance for being radical (in this environment) and honestly idealist.

  22. Re:Communications perk? on Physicists Discover How To Teleport Energy · · Score: 1

    The speed of light "hinders" you in two ways.

    1. You need a "receiver" to teleport to. You have to get the receiver in place by classical means.

    2. To stimulate the channel, you have to hit it with a laser beam which still has to travel through classical space between the beam emitter and the teleportation transmitter.

    There will always be a non-zero "delay" in the creation-transmission-absorption of information between two points separated by the smallest value. Hence, no violation nor causality paradox. The process is just extremely efficient.

  23. I love how the dynamo theory is taken as fact. on North Magnetic Pole Moving East Due To Core Flux · · Score: 1

    Reproduction... meh... not going so well.

  24. finally my dick isn't the small transistor on Scientists Create First Functional Molecular Transistor · · Score: 1
