  1. Re:"I have detailed files..." on Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines · · Score: 1

    Ah, but that wasn't the only arm...

  2. Begging the question on Actual Costs for the Space Station · · Score: 1

    Question begging is an attempt to use hidden premises in a question posed so as to reach a desired conclusion. Please stop murdering this phrase. Instead, put it like this: "it begs one to ask", "the question remains", or something similar. Don't contribute to continued ignorance!

    Thanks.

  3. Re:Daunting? on Debian Desktop Subproject Launched · · Score: 1

    You speak as if dselect were actually usable to all, not the slim minority of people willing to put up with its shitty interface. dselect needs to be tossed out the window in favor of aptitude or something.

  4. Re:Go figure, it's for the "war" on drugs. on Police Database Lists 'Future Criminals' · · Score: 1

    This thread has skewed somewhat offtopic, but I'd like to note that if there were no War on some Drugs, there would be no dealers. If you could go to the grocery store and by a pack of tokes or your next heroin fix, how could dealers make money?

  5. Not the only channel... on #debian & IRC Politics · · Score: 1

    They're actually kind of late in doing so. Rob Levin's panhandling has already caused at least a few channels to move to OFTC.

  6. Re:crayons on PDAs For Kids · · Score: 1
    Oh yeah? Wait until we get digital walls.

    Look out! :)

  7. One question on Lycoris - Linux for the Masses? · · Score: 1

    does it support the Virge MX+MV chipset? Only Red Hat and Mandrake seem to out of the box, and I'm not l33t enough to get it working under Debian (yes, I've tried several things, including the drivers on s3graphics and from the linux laptop page).

  8. Rollerball on Corporate Anthems Go Corporate · · Score: 1
    This brings me back to the Rollerball-esque Corporate Anthem...thank god we're not quite there yet :)

  9. phil! on More Media Consolidation Coming Soon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    phil!

  10. Nervous on Foot-Powered Laptop · · Score: 2, Funny

    Am I the only one with a habit of shaking my foot/leg nervously? I could put that to use!

  11. phil! on Buy John Romero's Ferrari On EBay · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    phil!

  12. Oeone on Belgium: A Computer in Every Home · · Score: 1

    The Oeone PC looks like it would fit the bill; it's dead simple to use, and it runs Linux. The only problem I can foresee is cost, at $800 per unit.

  13. Re:Deservedly so! on LotR Takes Top Spot on IMDB · · Score: 1

    Sauron, yes.

  14. PCSX on Bleem's Gravestone Online · · Score: 4, Informative

    Bleem may be dead, but its spirit lives on in PCSX.

  15. hideous?! on Mmm ... Purple Disease-Resistant Potatoes · · Score: 1
    Green ketchup is the best thing since sliced bread! Who wouldn't want to eat something with the consistency and texture of baby shit, but with the taste of ketchup? It even has Vitamin C, so it's good for you!

    They have purple ketchup, now, too. I can't wait until they make the whole spectrum of ketchup colors.

  16. Re:Protest NOT Cancelled! on EFF Gets Meeting With Adobe · · Score: 1
    How is it possible to love something and at the same time hate an integral part of it?

    Your question underscores the silliness of the idea of patriotism to any organized body.

  17. Host your own mail on Get Spam From Your Friends · · Score: 1

    For those with constant connections, you may want to consider doing this. All you need to do is set up DNS and sendmail on a P-75, register a domain, and you're golden. They can't force ads down your throat if you don't let them, that way.

  18. READ the decision on Supreme Court Limits High-Tech Snooping · · Score: 1

    I see a few high-rated posts that question the nature of privacy...for those posters, read the decision. It trots out an excellent definition of why warrantless heat sensing is an invasion of provacy: because it allows the police to discern activity in the home that normally would not be detectable (by other citizens). It also discusses the role of rising technology, and the fact that citizens shouldn't have to continuously stay one step ahead of the government to be safe in that respect.

  19. I might use it. on Half Keyboard, Full Bore · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, I type solely using my right hand. I've been looking for something like this for a while now. (But I'm not about to spend $99 on a fscking keyboard.)

  20. Balrog! on You Liked This Movie, Or Else · · Score: 1
    One of the big monsters was genuinely terrifying.

    At least we can be pretty sure they did the Balrog or the Watcher in the West right, then...that part of the novel always raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

  21. WorldsChat on Worlds.com Patents Quake-like Games? Kinda. · · Score: 1

    I can imagine that this would apply more to things like everquest, etc...I remember using WorldsChat a long time ago; it was nifty k33n :)

  22. Don't forget on Soybean Powered Harley · · Score: 5

    ...about the HempCar, and that hemp is another great biodiesel. These kinds of fuels, because they are infinitely renewable, are what the petroleum industry does not want to see in use until they can find a way to make money off of it.

  23. Fuggin' walk. on Forced Into Spamming By Your Employer? · · Score: 1

    You can find plenty of other employment opportunities, man. It will only hurt the company.

  24. Re:Please hook me up with what you're smoking... on Dune TV Mini-Series Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm just weird, then, because I think you are totally off-base about Dune. Its mastery of mood and character were far better than the SciFi attempt. Yes, there were discrepancies, but the movie that had any chance of making the "best fit" curve would not be the mini-series by any means. It was utter crap. The acting was wooden, the lines were totally mangled, and plot was totally torn apart.

  25. Reverse-engineered on AOL Opens ICQ? Well, Kinda. · · Score: 1

    I wonder how the license agreement affects those ICQ clones that reverse-engineered the protocol already; will AOL start suing non-conformers?
