  1. Re:Where are the photos? on CmdrTaco Visits Pixar · · Score: 1

    Dont forget he managed to get around 250,000 people to read it

  2. Re:Seriously on China Alleged To Use Prisoners In Lucrative Internet Gaming · · Score: 1

    I think you meant to say $200 a week

  3. Re:Tabloid trash on BitCoin, the Most Dangerous Project Ever? · · Score: 2

    What I dont understand is why you seem to believe the US government is the sole authority for currencies worldwide. Whatsmore, the only way to actually stop use of bitcoins is to stop websites taking payment, otherwise as an untracable P2P technology, no government can manage it. Of course even then, individuals will take payment. The only true way to stop this is to outright block P2P, not just the the ports but all traffic streams that display P2P behaviour, and i cant see that happening worldwide, especially with completely legal uptake of the technology

  4. Re:Below Germany? on Australia Ranked Fourth In Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    The Nazis were a political party therefore very few Germans were Nazis unless you're trying to suggest it was impossibly large. Of course, this is different to support as most Germans saw it as a good change in a time of depression at the start, but then the censorship started, along with persecution.

  5. Re:six days in Falujah on ESRB To Automate Game Rating · · Score: 1

    That's a ridiculous assumption, drugs refers to any form of medication that alters the physical state and gambling can be defined as taking chances, which you do everyday.

  6. Re:What's funny is on Drug Runners Perfect Long-Range Subs · · Score: 1

    Bear in mind this would be pure cocaine, it's diluted down to probably 10% cocaine after "processing" to be sold on the streets, perhaps more

  7. Re:What? on Man Accused of Selling US Military Drones On EBay · · Score: 1

    That would mean admitting they can be stolen

  8. Re:Rollup monitor, not computer on Cylindrical Rolltop Laptops · · Score: 1

    Well they wont be changing, there is fundamentally no change you can make - the whole reason they are terrible is because the keys are flat, and they have to be quite simply if you want to roll it up.
    Only solution is perhaps keys that expand when it has rolled out, but to me that is a 1 time usage thing (automatic deflation would be more difficult and slow)... Although having said that, a material that responds by changing molecular structure when subjected to an electrical current would be effective for this (im not 100% if this is an existing material or concept, but I seem to recall it from somewhere)

  9. Re:because it's not at all difficult... on Rock, Paper, Shotgun Call For Worldwide Game Release Dates · · Score: 1

    If this was the case, do you not think they would release the games at the same time because they are loosing money?

  10. Re:Neat on Nautilus-X: the Space Station With Rockets · · Score: 1

    In space? Nothing

  11. Re:Bad things COULD happen. on Infertility Could Impede Human Space Colonization · · Score: 1

    Cloning is always an option, provided we develop the technology here first. Would resemble a crew/society like that in the film Aeon Flux - cloning yourself and teaching yourself, recycling all DNA.

  12. Re:What I want to know.... on Thrifty, Anonymous Benefactor Backs Up BBC Websites Before They Go Dark · · Score: 1

    You should check the comments on the article on torrentfreak, I was linked to thrustvps who offer servers at £4 incl tax (although cant be 100% this is who the uploader bought from)

  13. Re:What I want to know.... on Thrifty, Anonymous Benefactor Backs Up BBC Websites Before They Go Dark · · Score: 2

    Actually, Its that if you actively receive TV signals that you have to pay the licence fee, and even then you only need one. Better than the alternative, advertisement flooded, channels that dont rely on public funding.

  14. Re:/. News Network on Leaked Cables Reveal US Thinks Saudi Oil Reserves May Be Overstated · · Score: 1

    Perhaps, but money that is worthless none the less as the economy collapses because of the rising oil prices

  15. Re:Might as well get in on the action on Sony Lawyers Expand Dragnet, Targeting Anybody Posting PS3 Hack · · Score: 2

    Not so - those "who have viewed or commented about the jailbreak video on a private YouTube page". Of course, If they succeed, it would only expand to encompass google giving the IP of anyone searching and clicking any page hosting the hack

  16. Re:Old? on Storm Botnet Returns As Part of New Year's Attacks · · Score: 2

    True, but when you consider it uses a fake flash installer rather than a browser specific bug which can install the trojan/virus without their knowledge, it is shown to be rather basic. Not only that, but if there was an actual ecard, the number of reported instances would be less (so those that know they have the newest version of flash wouldnt be alarmed), so their program is less likely to end up detectable, at least for a while.

  17. Re:Not surprising in a socialist society on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    This is correct

  18. Re:Bullshit on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    It seems to me unlikely that Interpol would become involved in a single sexual assault case unless pressured/persuaded to by significant state members, and by that I dont mean Sweden. In conclusion, that he is now wanted by interpol leads me to believe, where I didnt have certainty before, this is definitely a character assassination, most probably being played out by the US government (they have the most to gain with his demise after all)

  19. Re:PEBKAC on Web-Users Fall For Fake Anti-Virus Scams · · Score: 1

    I think windows was what he meant

  20. Re:What is the point? on New York Judge Rules 6-Year-Old Can Be Sued · · Score: 1

    Im fairly sure its the age of 10 here in the UK

  21. Wow on Most Americans Support an Internet Kill Switch · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is clearly biased or 61% of Americans really are pathetically stupid

  22. Re:Holy war on First Pictures of the (Fake?) PlayStation Phone · · Score: 1

    Sony Ericsson, a company that has nothing to do with Playstation.

    Except from, of course, both being part of the Sony group.

  23. Re:No Connection with Tehran on Iranian Cyber Army Moves Into Botnet Renting · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is actually a very smart move, by masking their actions behind political or even religious ideals (providing they dont actually support that cause), they will confuse people into looking into more details than need be. Could quite easily be a group in America with no affiliation to Iran, meaning they have achieved their goal of misdirection extremely well.

  24. Re:not so chatty bot on Chatbot Suzette Wins 20th Annual Loebner Prize, Fools One Judge · · Score: 1

    Im not sure about that, living does seem to be the slowest possible rate at which one can die

  25. Re:about time too... on Japan Begins Recycling Rare Earth Metals From Electronics · · Score: 1

    This of course will lead them to become the lead recyclers for rare metals, helping their economy as the supply decreases
