  1. In time on Pirates Finding It Harder To Crack New PC Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    This post is longer than the article. Given enough time it always ends up cracked. Because one group in the world hasnt cracked it doesnt mean that it is uncrackable. The bigger the challenge the more interest it gains.

  6. Didn't they just yuk-yuk comment over old movies? on MST3K Is Kickstarting Back To Life · · Score: 2

    Please correct me if i am wrong but wasn't this thing all about some silhouette of a robot and another thing yaking it up with forced comedy commentary on old movies running in the background? Why does it cost on the high-end of tv production of $1 million per episode (or $5.5m for a full season) ? Good luck.

  7. Re:Legislation? Or a Constitutional Amendment? on Interviews: Ask Lawrence Lessig About His Mayday PAC · · Score: 1

    Exactly! This is why Wolf-Pac is the only real solution and Mayday folks havent thought much about the deep problem.

  8. Re:staying true on Interviews: Ask Lawrence Lessig About His Mayday PAC · · Score: 1

    That is the same problem i have with his approach. To me i dont think he thought a few steps ahead. TYT's approach (Wolf-Pac) is a smarter way in my opinion.

  9. Wolf-Pac seems better than Mayday -- Question.. on Interviews: Ask Lawrence Lessig About His Mayday PAC · · Score: 2

    This seems like a simpler version of Wolf-Pac.com who aims to pass get a Constitutional Amendment. The problem i see with Mayday is that although it is aiming to elect officials to pass campaign finance reform the problem is those same politicians once in will be spending most of their day (as all other politicans currently do) looking for the next source of campaign funding -- and last i checked the highest funder gets the most attention and sway by these politicians. Mayday is limited in how much influence it can do because there are much wealthier lobbyists who can entice their angels to the dark side quite easily. A smarter approach is to attack the problem at the state level as wolf-pac is doing. Otherwise the problem will persist. My question is: Please convince me that Mayday is a better approach than Wolf-Pac. TYT started Wolf-Pac years ago and is in much further progress than Mayday including the fact that they brought up the flaws of taking a similar approach to what Mayday ended up doing years ago. So again, please talk me down and explain how your approach will work and how because it seems destined to fail to me.

  10. State Department Report was writen by Oil Execs on Obama Delays Decision On Keystone Pipeline Yet Again · · Score: 2

    I like how articles forget to mention that the State Dpt. reports were made up of people who had ties to, or paid by those in the gas and oil industry. That is why environmentalists are still up in arms. Feel free to look up who put the report together and see who they work for. It's all there.

  11. Why doesn't TAILS use TRUCRYPT (or similar)? on Snowden Used the Linux Distro Designed For Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    I get the impression TAILS doesn't include a full system encryption on boot which means if the USB is discovered they could check whats on it. I assume Snowden wrote the retrieved data to the same usb stick. Maybe Trucrypt isn't available for linux distros but i am sure there are plenty of alternatives that do a similar full system os encryption.

  13. Re:so close! on Yahoo May Build Its Own YouTube · · Score: 1

    Makes u wonder why other long-lived sites like Vimeo, DailyMotion, and maybe a hundred other me-too video sites havne't taken off since they have "less ads and no stupid social-tie-in comment system"? Just a curious question.

  14. Re:Ads on Youtube are getting obnoxious on Yahoo May Build Its Own YouTube · · Score: 2

    Why don't you use AdBlock+ like the rest of us? I didn't know ads existed on the net until you brought it up just now.

  15. Re:Just great... on The Spread of Do-It-Yourself Biotech · · Score: 1

    I dont think the general public has put 2 and 2 together...on average most people dont understand evolution very well and so can't comprehend the idea of mutation/selection and the connection it has with farmers and their produce.

  16. Re:Lawyers... on Lawyer Is Big Winner In Webcamgate Settlement · · Score: 1

    What confuses me then is why the kids thought they might lose that they decided a crappy deal where the lawyer gets 2/3 of the pie was fantastic? It's a pretty open and shut case where everyone knew the kids were going to win (and for those paying attention it was clear it would lead to a settlement) so why on earth would you take a lawyer who would pocket most of it for doing absolutely nothing? There were plenty of other lawyers, even ones that can be assigned if you cant afford one, so i am perplexed. For negotiation reasons, you say? Please. As B.T Barnum said: "There's a sucker born every minute." It interesting to note that the winner in all of this ends up being the biggest loser.

  18. Re:... Film from a game... on Sam Raimi To Direct World of Warcraft Movie · · Score: 1

    Silent Hill is probably the best game to film conversion that i've seen. It seems to actually tell a descent ghost story with some nice visual effects (definitely check it out). Resident Evil would be my #2 game-to-film conversion. I was actually very surprised that it was entertaining. The sequel was AWFUL and the 3rd film was meh (one cool seen where they fry those crows though). Besides those 2 films i think everything else is just too stupid or embarrassing to mention.
