  1. Just Observing on University Networks Block Student Project · · Score: 1

    The WHOIS database entry shows the domain name was registered on 02 June, about a month after the Uni started blocking fitfinder

  2. Re:20 minute delay ... on Mars500 Mission Begins · · Score: 1

    I can see something like this happening:

    Ofdesen: So you think it might be a good business move to put that troll back to sleep?
    Nathan: i just don't see that happening, crappy troll knocked out the dsl and now it takes two minutes to get the tits.

  3. Re:Security? on Microsoft Talks Back To Google's Security Claims · · Score: 1

    Exactly! Doze was originally designed for a single-user environment in mind, where *nix'es had multiple users, that is only one aspect where differences in design causes security holes.

  4. Re:Focus and Investment on Microsoft Talks Back To Google's Security Claims · · Score: 1

    Well said Sir! I would have been more crude, along the lines of it being "competitive ass-kissing"!

  5. Re:LOL on Mobile Game Trojan Calls the South Pole · · Score: 1

    Good ones! And my old favorite, the con-con BSOD :)

    Meh... not enough piercings... ;P

  7. Re:We are predators on 'Peak Wood' Offers Parallels For Our Time · · Score: 1

    If only half of farmville players had real emotions, appreciation and experiences with farming and/or tending gardens.

  8. Re:LOL on Mobile Game Trojan Calls the South Pole · · Score: 1

    A non-related security feature of Window 98, involved canceling the login dialog to get Administrative access. Microsoft is just sticking to proven security practices :)

  9. Re:test until it makes sense. on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx Benchmarked and Reviewed · · Score: 1

    For benchmark reviews the defaults should be used, agreed.
    OTOH, if Windows users can fuck with registry files, start-up entries and flip-flop virus scanners as often like the shoes of the same name, then we can tweak compiz fusion config :)

  10. Re:A Question of Privacy, or Stupidity? on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 1

    Some people do need to think because they say stupid things, others because creepy HR loons hover around ;)

    TFA case in point: If she vocalized, while on the job, that she was addicted to "Vicodin, Adderall, quality marijuana, MD 20/20 Grape and (absinthe)", would that be different than posting it online? Can anyone take that as a joke in the workplace, if they don't know you personally?

  11. A Question of Privacy, or Stupidity? on Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke · · Score: 1

    - This can be considered invasion of privacy, as social networking sites are apart of your private life.
    - Think before you post online, whichever site or mailing list. Too many people post without thinking.

  12. Re:Roland MT32 on The Secret of Monkey Island Shows Evolution of PC Audio · · Score: 1

    To see the evolution of PC audio with the LL theme song!

  13. Re:Pointless... on Benchmark Software For Windows 7 Rollout? · · Score: 1

    If you want to continue driving your Model T, do so; just don't expect to run it on the Interstate Highways. Keep to the side streets instead.

  14. Re:Enough power for a pacemaker? on Scientists Implant Biofuel Cells Into Rats · · Score: 2, Informative

    The maximum power of the device was 6.5 microwatts, which approaches the 10 microwatts required by pacemakers.

    "I'm optimistic that we will get tens of milliwatts in future versions," he says.

    "Reading TFA", suuuure...

  15. For interest on the internals on NASA Finds Cause of Voyager 2 Glitch · · Score: 1

    Voyager runs or 3 different type of computers, each controls the Computer Command System, the Flight Data System, and the Attitude and Articulation Control System.

    The chips are non clock-based, and runs off an oscillator. Each computer is doubled-up for redundency, making a total of 6. They total about 540KB volatile and non-volatile memory.

    The programing language is a form of assembly language.

  16. It's called Schadenfreude on Using Augmented Reality To Treat Cockroach Phobia · · Score: 1

    This is just too damn cruel, like desensitizing a child by beating it. Heck just play the latest and greatest FPS instead, then you'd desensitize humans too, double your fun, double your pleasure!

  17. Re:In other news on Using Augmented Reality To Treat Cockroach Phobia · · Score: 1

    There's the risk of seeing Pink Christina Aguilera monsters. Eeeeeek!

  19. A reaction to open standards on Mpeg 7 To Include Per-Frame Content Identification · · Score: 1

    Despite their Orwellian wishful thinking, open standards like OGG will always be around. Even if vendor-specific hardware won't support it, I sure as hell will.

  21. Re:Don't worry BP ... on How Bad Is the Gulf Coast Oil Spill? · · Score: 1

    I am responsible too, by proxy, for creating a demand for oil, as much as we care we sometimes cannot avoid it, it's how the world is setup.
    It's hard seeing so many people who are not environmentally conscious, it breaks my heart.
    The bottom line is, the world is pretty much fucked. It will only get worse, unless we 'yoomans' work together. We cannot trust corporates, government or hocus-pocus holistic healing to fix it.

  22. Re:$3300.00 on Texas Man Pleads Guilty To Building Botnet-For-Hire · · Score: 1

    2.1 Something with flashing words, kittens or cows, and a link to 'send to my friends now!!!' spreads itself easy easy.

    Hey let's write our own botnet, buddy :)

  24. Re:Whoa. But... on NASA Solar Satellite's First Sun Images · · Score: 1

    And god knows that people who read science news cannot possibly comprehend how much a terabyte is.

  25. Re:[long_no] on EA Launches Ultima-Based Browser Game · · Score: 0

    A rich storyline comes with a great history to back it up. It's a legacy that EA wants to carry on. It's only natural for some folk to resist change, while others embrace it.
