  1. Re:Remind me again... on Ink Breakthrough Heralds Bendy PC Screens · · Score: 1

    I imagine it would be about as annoying as trying to read online articles right now. Reading 2 paragraphs interrupted by 2 or 3 ads, and then having to hit next page through more of the same 5 times to read what should have been a 1 page article.

  2. Re:Government shrunk to its Constitutional tasks o on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1

    I really couldn't agree more.

    I would also like to point out that the government isn't autonomous in creating headache and heartache. The Federal Reserve can take quite a load of that blame. The power to expand or contract the money supply is probably the most awesome power any organization can have and it comes with an incredible responsibility.

    Sounds quite a bit like any given religion to me... perhaps it's the nature of man that is the problem.

    This could happen... but I wouldn't want to wake up and realize it was just a dream.

    Well they certainly aren't very heavy...

    i think i'm in trouble... i read your third sentence as "internet personality..."

  7. uhhh on Implant Raises Cellular Army To Attack Cancer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    this is pretty amazing to a layman such as myself..

  8. Re:Oxymoron on Best Security / Vulnerability Testing Firms for Web Apps? · · Score: 1

    yeah such as someone calling one of the supposed "clients" and just asking for user/pass info...

    errr... yeah I DNRTFA. Sue me.

    Just wait until someone figures out how to make them wireless. 3D mobile porn while driving...

  11. Re:Oh great on Google Over IPv6 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Well I've had a 64-bit cpu for about two and a half years and I'm still running a 32-bit operating system for fear that none of my favorite games/programs will work properly under the 64 bit platform. Screw 128 bit.

  12. Hmm.. on Blu-ray Update Sent To User Via Credit Card Records · · Score: 1

    I'm really curious as to whether or not this would be legal..

  13. Re:How MMOs should be viewed on How Gamers View Their MMOs · · Score: 1

    Labor creates wealth. Can't be wealthy if you're not leeching from others' labor, no?

  14. Re:eve online on How Gamers View Their MMOs · · Score: 1

    Of the two mmo's i've played, eve and wow, I'd have to say eve is ten times more interesting. I played wow for a 15 day trial period and got bored by the end of it. I played EvE for it's 10 or 15 day trial period and was only becoming more intrigued. The difference between the two is incredible. Though I was starting to see where you could just mine for days on end and accomplish nothing of value, but once you level up enough the whole game is open to do whatever you want.

    WoW just got boring as hell really quickly.

  15. Re:How MMOs should be viewed on How Gamers View Their MMOs · · Score: 1

    Time AND labor. Money means nothing if there's no labor to back it.

  16. Re:New developement? on The Year of 2008 In Cybercrime · · Score: 1

    It goes back WAY further than 2006. It goes back at at least the latter part of the 90s. I actually traded a few cards myself back when I was an underage idiot some 10 - 12 years ago. It was much easier to get away with back then it would seem as it was before the invention of that CV2 number, and most websites would let you order crap without checking the holder's info... but essentially its the same today as it was back then.

  17. Re:Emergence? on The Year of 2008 In Cybercrime · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There surely has. I found my way into such a vast place back when I was 13 and discovering IRC. People hawked credit card info like there was no tomorrow, and others sold bots you could add to a net to perform DDoS attacks, all very cheap.

    Nothing has changed in the 12 years since except perhaps now clueless reporters are discovering the dark side of the Internet.

    Hey that's a great idea!

    Anyone care to do this?

  19. Great on Obama Wants Broadband, Computers Part of Stimulus · · Score: 4, Funny

    It would be great if the local cable or phone company could run their lines just 1 block further from my nearest neighbor so I could get broadband.

    Maybe Obama can make it happen!

  20. USA? on Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn · · Score: 1

    So what is the status of such cartoons in the USA? I've seen plenty of cartoon knock-offs just browsing dirty sites, does that make me a pedophile?

  21. Re:I'm sick fo CATCHA on Audio CAPTCHAs Cracked; ReCAPTCHA Remains Strong · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's almost gotten to the point where it's easier for the bots to guess the letters than for an actual human.

    Reverse captcha?

  22. Re:Ummm... on Game-Related Education On the Rise At Colleges · · Score: 2, Interesting

    While I've never seen such a rave review for a 21 month college program, I have seen quite a few complaints about the $40,000 price tag attached to it.

    Ethernet drops packets without tcp/ip. It's called a collision.

  25. Re:Effects of Cannabis on WCG Tournament Director Admits Drugs In E-Sports · · Score: 1

    It helped me focus tremendously when I used to play counter-strike. It enhanced my reaction time, my focus, and my overall absorption into the game. As a result I would formulate plans based on what people tended to do round after round, and change them on a whim when footsteps were heard. I was usually a couple steps ahead of the other guys and that didn't happen often without the green.
