  1. Re:Errr... this is a wargame, folks! on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 0, Troll

    To the far left, the answer is an overwhelming "YES" to all your questions.

  2. Re:This took a whopping 3 seconds to do. on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    Ok, so I spelled Smurfs wrong. I blame the Taliban for that.

    sed -e 's/[tT]aliban/Angry Smurgs/g'

    There, fixed that for you.

  4. Re:Well that's stupid. on Amid Controversy, EA Pulls Taliban From Medal of Honor Multiplayer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't the Freedom to put 'whatever characters you want in a video game' exactly what the 'soldiers in harms' way are trying to defend?

    Think about it. However infuriating it may be to the soldiers, families, friends and pundits to include Taliban in the game, like it or not, that's freedom.

  5. Re:Robert Bork on Judge Allows Subpoenas For Internet Users · · Score: 1

    I propose the Video Piracy Protection Act.

  6. Re:This always made me wonder on Woz Cites "Scary" Prius Acceleration Software Problem · · Score: 1

    That's funny, cuase I always wondered why people bought the UGLIEST hybrid they could find.

    I mean, c'mon I know you're a Hippster trying to be different by being the same, but the car is ugly.

  7. Re:The joy of Los Angeles "driving" on The DIY $10 Prepaid Cellphone Remote Car Starter · · Score: 1

    I also live in Los Angeles, and drive a manual. I think you're lucky, try doing that with a 1950's era 3-on-the tree non syncro low. You can't downshift into first, you have to make a complete (or close to complete) stop, and usually, after stop, put it in 2'nd to sync 1'st, then back to first to get going. And yeah, I get about 35-40k on the clutch.

  8. Re:I Would on Would You Use a Free Netbook From Google? · · Score: 1

    I see the bug's have been worked out of 'Goolgle Mind Control'.

  9. Next google app.... on Would You Use a Free Netbook From Google? · · Score: 1

    Google is also announcing several new products, in-line with their ideal of total homogony and conformity: 'Google Brainwash', leading up to the beta release of 'Google Existence'.

    Thanks Google, I was having a rough time thinking for myself, and making my own desicion's.

    In other related news, Microsoft, after a 25 year streak as the #1 corporation hell bent on world domination, has just been usurped.

  10. Favorite Comments on If the Comments Are Ugly, the Code Is Ugly · · Score: 1

    My two favorites are: /* I'm better that you are */ /* If you can read this, you're too close */

  11. Proxy War on Mark Cuban's Plan To Kill Google · · Score: 1

    At this point, I don't see what's in it for Mark Cuban except nearly half of his net worth, and probably more in legal fees once google sues. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

  12. Terrorist Plot on LHC Shut Down Again — By Baguette-Dropping Bird · · Score: 0

    The bird was obviously trained by Al Qaeda.

  13. From TFA on Did Microsoft Borrow GPL Code For a Windows 7 Utility? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    From TFA

    You may not ... reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except and only to the extent that applicable law expressly permits, despite this limitation;

    Which seems to be exactly what the Author has done. Sucks to be him, or anyone else trying to find out if M$ has stolen your code and violated your license, since the only way to find out, is to violate M$'s license agreement. Have fun in court.

  14. Helicopters in Space on LaserMotive Finds Success In Space Elevator Competition · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now we've just got to get the helicopter to drop the rope from space, and we're set.

  15. Re:More like forums, really on D&D On Google Wave · · Score: 0

    I have been designing a program to play DnD over the internet lately. One with battlemaps, chats, dicerollers, stuff like that.

    Looks like we're re-inventing MUDs now.

  16. Related News on How Terahertz Waves Tear Apart DNA · · Score: 0

    With terahertz scanners already appearing in airports and hospitals...

    In other related news, several major airlines are installing extra arm-rests on every seat, for that added bit of comfort for your new mutant arm.

  17. Don't do it!!! on Chinese To Supply 600 MW Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 0

    This is obviously an ill-conceived attempt at a Trojan Horse. I'm sure a cursory look inside the windmill's will reveal trained, armed comando-monkeys

  18. Re:Gmail is not ready. on Los Angeles Goes Google Apps With Microsoft Cash · · Score: 1, Funny

    If I ran a business and my email was completely down to this extent I would fire my Exchange team.

    I'd fire you for choosing Exchange.
