  1. Re:Better go after those pirates on Halo Reach Leaked To Filesharing Sites · · Score: 1

    I believe all we have left to program is a DRM system that nukes your computer from orbit. After all, it's the only way to be sure.

  2. Re:Outing the update on Apple Outs Anti-Jailbreak Update · · Score: 1

    Let me put it this way - maybe it's the fact that English is not my native language that is obfuscating what I'm trying to say. However, the word creepy is also defined (at least on Merriam-Webster) as "annoyingly unpleasant", which has nothing to do with fear.

    Anyway, I find the idea of me having sex with a man as "creepy" as me having sex with a tree, a pickup truck, a 97 year old woman or a small kitchen appliance. That's because I'm not attracted to any of those, so the idea of me actually having sex with any of them is fucking creepy.

    Big kitchen appliances, on the other hand...

    But this is not about homosexuality creeping them out. This is about this men finding sex with other men creepy, which is a totally different thing from what you're talking about.

    I can cope with the idea of homosexuality perfectly fine, and homosexuality doesn't creep me out. I do consider the idea of me having sex with another man disgusting, creepy, and an absolute abomination, and no, that doesn't make me homophobic - it makes me a heterosexual male with no sexual attraction whatsoever towards males.

  4. Re:Outing the update on Apple Outs Anti-Jailbreak Update · · Score: 1

    So... if I fail to find males sexually arousing, I'm a homophobic? And what about gay men, if they fail to find women attractive, they're heterophobic? Are lesbians heterophobic unless they can "get off" with males?


    That's just the stupidest thing I've read this week, and I read slashdot daily.

    Pure gold would probably be less painful, as it is the most malleable and ductile pure metal known.

    "Whoosh", wrote the slashdotter with a smile on his face, feeling superior to the parent poster but slightly uneasy, for he was haunted by the possibility of nourishing a troll instead of educating the masses.

  10. Re:Pass Phrases suck on mobile devices on Passwords That Are Simple — and Safe(?) · · Score: 1

    I know, right?. That must be the reason I keep seeing people, even experienced sysadmins, doing that all the time. But I think this is a case of "great minds think alike" and they all came up with it on their own.

    So what you're saying is that accessing every single website on the internet is a natural right?

    And yet, they are at fault anyway. Just because a lot of people do something doesn't mean their responsibility is automatically waived.

    They are not lying.

    The DROID Incredible stores it on internal storage, while the rest of the Sense UI devices store it on the SD card. For reference, http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/06/18/htc-confirms-droid-incredible-browser-issue-plans-fix/

    "I'm heading to Ikea later today. Anyone want to come?"

    How very naive of you. It would be "Headn 2 ikea l8r, n1 come?". When mentioning brevity and succinctness, keep in mind what sms and IM did to the English (and any other) language.

  18. Re:Plugin uninstaller for Firefox? on Microsoft Hides Firefox Extension In Toolbar Update · · Score: 1

    Mozilla could just not allow loading plugins that haven't been added via Firefox. And yeah, I know microsoft could just bypass that with some hacking into whatever system is used to keep a record of them or sign them, but then it would be clearly intentional that they want to bypass a security feature, as opposed to "we just put the dll in the right folder for your convenience!".

    The entire probe system was worth it just for the little easter egg when probing Uranus.

  22. Re:Great... Game to Movie on Mass Effect To Invade the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Sound like a Dragon Ball Z script to me. Powerful entity 1 meets less powerful entity 2, and overpowers it. Later, powerful entity 3 kick's less powerful entity 1's ass, and in a great twist, powerful entity 4 arrives to totally destroy powerful entity 3. Rinse and repeat.

    They could go fully recursive and re-release the original game marketing it "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game".

    But its another thing to adapt to a location that fluctuates between extreme hot and extreme cold, etc. Not saying its impossible, but probably more difficult.

    I don't know about you, but where I live, we call them "summer" and "winter".

    You're right, "extreme" is a relative term.
