  1. Although, on Microsoft Update Quietly Installs Firefox Extension · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It was nice of the poster to put this up, for those of us who weren't here the first time and don't have several hours do spend digging through the archives...

  2. Oh shit, someone thought on The Sims 3 Racks Up Over 180,000 Downloads Prior To Release · · Score: 1

    They actually made a good reason to buy the non-pirated game. Kudos to the developers and marketing.

  3. Isn't it obvious? on Understanding Addiction-Based Game Design · · Score: 1

    Mouses and keyboards actually come with small needles that infuse cocaine into the blood of the player, addicting them to the game. It's why these pay-per-month games cost so much.

  4. Well...... on Asus Slaps Linux In the Face · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just make sure this isn't a ploy by Micro$oft to push the Linux fans away from a company that supports them.

  5. cause... on Chemical "Infofuses" Communicate Without Electricity · · Score: 4, Interesting

    cause, you know...sending smoke signals when stranded in enemy territory is really going to help you....

  6. Re:That could actually be fun on Microsoft Trying To Patent a 'Magic Wand' · · Score: 1

    I see it now: interactive porn. Flip the stick up for a thrust, roll it for a moan....

  7. Re:Is the entire browser singlethreaded? on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I can't seem to find it now, but there was an article up earlier about switching FF over to being multi-threaded. They'd probably do both things if they end up working out.

  8. Not to disappoint, but... on Mozilla Preparing To Scrap Tabbed Browsing? · · Score: 1

    Tabkit anyone? Granted it's not exactly the same as their idea, but it can easily manage 20+ tabs in a readable fashion....

  9. Re:Break-in free zone signs on Break-In Compromises 160k Medical Records At UC Berkeley · · Score: 1

    Only if it's posted on a broken glass window.

  10. Re:And... on Break-In Compromises 160k Medical Records At UC Berkeley · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But that's my point, why were they linked? Albeit more expensive, why not have a private server for just those databases, not connected to the internet? It seems like we need to worry about making our security better first so we don't have these problems. After all, removing the connection's the best way to stop someone hacking your computer.

  11. And... on Break-In Compromises 160k Medical Records At UC Berkeley · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...they left this information accessible to the public because?

  12. I see now on How To Have an Online Social Life When You're Dead · · Score: 0

    so THAT'S how Jesus did it.

  13. Hey look on Unpaid Contributors Provide Corporate Tech Support · · Score: 0

    It's the linux community for phones.

  14. Wait.... on New Discovery May End Transplant Rejection · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So, we're effectively giving the person temporary AIDS? Although, thinking about it, if we know how to give someone AIDS, we might know ho

  15. Similarily on Scientist Forced To Remove Earthquake Prediction · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of a program I saw on the science channel, which predicts a major earthquake in Istanbul due to a series of quakes before it (it was something like 'earthquake storm'). Perhaps they could use this guy's methodology to try and estimate a time of impact?
