  1. Re:Won't somebody please think of the children!?!? on Australian Government Delays Internet Filter Legislation · · Score: 1

    Honestly, it is like a sibling breaking a window. Instead of apologizing and getting him to not do it again you say that he isn't representative of the family and anyone saying the family is bad can fuck off.

    Isn't that what he just did? Why are you rebuking him for doing what you want him to do?

    He doesn't want them to do that, he used a purposefully ridiculous analogy to signify that it's ridiculous to do that.

    Let me put it this way.

    Who are you and why do we care?

    John Hancock just rolled over in his grave, since he fought a war based on the belief that you don't pay for freedom.

    I read that person's statement as satire, but maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

  4. Re:The Internet is less free... in Brazil. on In Brazil, Google Fined For Content of Anonymous Posting · · Score: 1

    My issue is that "haha you are less free" is not a criticism, just a way for him to feel better about his own country.

    Good thing he didn't say that. Get off that poster's ass already, what is this, your 6th post complaining about it? Who cares?

    A donor, it said. Pay attention. Where do you think they get organs and shit for transplants? Dead people with donor cards.

    For the sake of argument, what the hell is it exactly that "you need?"

  10. Re:not going to work on File Sharing Remains a Perk of College Life · · Score: 1

    (BTW, I personally don't sell enough CDs or tickets to cover the cost of my musical work. Doesn't mean I "suck," dude.)

    It means you don't have a self-sustaining business model, and shouldn't quit your day job.

    That's pretty interchangeable with 'sucks' in most people's perception, but the word's used pretty broadly.

    Hey, I've got a good idea, only people who can do programming live in front of an audience whilst juggling chainsaws should be allowed to make a living as a programmer.

    Can't do it? You aren't going to be rich, get over it.

    Yes, I imagine they're not. They're programmers, not sideshows. Ease up on the linebreaks, by the way. And the fucking moronic posts.

    Except you can see the target of a hyperlink in most browser's status bar at the bottom. The brackets are for citation alone, basically.

  13. Re:What's this '3D' anyway? on Do You Have a Secret Immunity To 3D Movies? · · Score: 0

    I have Strabismus. The operation to correct it failed and as a result I have perfect vision, but out of one eye at a time. Actually that's not quite true, I can see things out of the corner of both eyes at a time but can only focus my central area of vision using one eye at a time. This means I have no real debth perception, making 3D movies pointless and giving me a perfect excuse for knocking drinks over when I have had a few too many :-)

    Do you wear an eye patch?

  14. Re:A simple test on Do You Have a Secret Immunity To 3D Movies? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This really only seems like it would work if your arms were different lengths.

    Different lengths at random, from one second to the next, even.

    Otherwise, my fingers line up whether I have both eyes open, one eye open, or no eyes open.

  15. Re:It is a con on Do You Have a Secret Immunity To 3D Movies? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    lol wat? How is it any harder to pirate movies? No one cares if the version they're watching on their computer or the burned screener they put in their PS3 is in 3D or not.

    The 3D resurge is retarded, it wasn't cool decades ago either, and if the movies weren't all fucking blurry without the glasses, I wouldn't bother wearing them in theatres, either.

    I think you might be on your own there. People that hate writing are often still pretty okay with typing.

    Then you're not really eating sushi, so much as rice and seaweed prepared in a fashion customary to facilitate the presence of sushi fish.

    Sounds pretty pointless.

    It's probably seen as somewhat redundant to mention it, since, as you say, they're the ruling party.

    You're really not accomplishing anything with these posts. Just because you install a bunch of "unusual" features, or buy a PC with them pre-fabbed, does not suddenly make it not a computer anymore.

    Why? I'm not a kid, and I have a life, but still play multiplayer games. You can rebut what he supposed if you like, but don't make unfounded accusations against the majority when you're the exception.
