  1. Reminds me of... on Drug Catapult Found At US-Mexico Border · · Score: 1

    a pipe for moonshine under the Estonian-Latvian border.

  2. Re:Anyone else have this idea? on Drug Catapult Found At US-Mexico Border · · Score: 1

    So I suppose next we might find a tunnel that is one mile down and 40 miles under the border to breach the "castle walls" of the united states?

    Weeds already did it.

  3. Re:time to lock up and go home on Black Eyed Peas Member Joins Intel As Director · · Score: 1

    substance

    Don't forget the purity of essence. All gone, our precious fluids outsourced to China.

  4. Re:Intel wants to be Apple on Black Eyed Peas Member Joins Intel As Director · · Score: 1

    Steve's prolly just after some California 'medical'.

  5. Re:It does look half bad on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Same here on Gentoo/Firefox.

  6. No surprise on Obama Nominates RIAA Lawyer For Solicitor General · · Score: 1

    No surprise here. Intellectual property is the only economy the US has left after outsourcing everything else to China. If they want to maintain the cashflow, they have to enforce their IP.

  7. Re:The More Young College Grads I Meet... on The Rise and Rise of the Cognitive Elite · · Score: 2

    ...the more I look to hire high school drop-outs and illegal immigrants.

    Seriously, don't Kids These Days want to put in a full day's work and pay some dues any more?

    Seriously, who would like to do that?

  8. Re:Good lord... on New Mega-Leak Reveals Middle East Peace Process · · Score: 1

    Nuke them all. Their respective God will provide his true chosen people with the ability to live in the radioactive wasteland.

    This is not so different from a historic solution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnaud_Amalric
    Arnaud (or Arnau) Amalric (died 1225) was a Cistercian monk remembered for giving advice during the Albigensian Crusade to a soldier wondering how to distinguish the Catholic friendlies from the Cathar enemies to just "Kill them all. For the Lord knows them that are His."

  9. Re:astounding ! on Wikileaks Movie Coming To the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    No need to waste money on the movie. It will get leaked onto the Pirate Bay.

  10. 1337 hax0r on Attack Toolkits Dominating the Threat Landscape · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The new wave of scriptkiddie ftw!

  11. Re:The crazyness on Angry Birds and Parabolic Instinct In Humans · · Score: 1

    They must like crazy, they are taking up ipv6:)

  12. Re:academic Vs. real-life on Taiwan Develops Face-Recognition Vending Machine · · Score: 1

    Sounds like clippy to me. 'Yes, we have all this stuff on display here, but I will only sell coke if you wear a tie.'

  13. Re:Summary sucks. on Ars Thinks Google Takes a Step Backwards For Openness · · Score: 1

    s-tard?

  14. Re:Ain't that qute? on Embedded Linux 1-Second Cold Boot To QT · · Score: 1

    The wrong century also:)

  15. Re:More sensible option on Wireless GeForce Graphics Card Announced · · Score: 1

    If noise is your only reason for doing this, just get a decent pair of in-ear or fully enclosed headphones.

    If noise is your only reason for doing this, just get a decent pair of 120mm fans.

  16. Re:iAppStore on Microsoft Fights Apple Trademark On 'App Store' · · Score: 0

    What about CrappStore

  17. Re:This can be used to preload a "human-like" ai on How Do You Visualize 100 GB of Google Text Data? · · Score: 2

    The _engineer_ behind the hard drive controller comprehends the meaning of alternating magnetic patterns on a disk. The hard drive controller or any automated system comprehends it no more than a clock comprehends time. Computers are not smart in any way, they are just clockwork; its only people who have become smarter in programming. And making an honest face while selling hot air.

  18. Re:This can be used to preload a "human-like" ai on How Do You Visualize 100 GB of Google Text Data? · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing most biologists would disagree.

    Of course they would. But they also disagree on the characteristics of life. Biosemiotics on the other hand has no question about it.

  19. Re:This can be used to preload a "human-like" ai on How Do You Visualize 100 GB of Google Text Data? · · Score: 1

    Semantics is all fluffy and stuff, but you are nowhere near AI until the computer can actually comprehend meaning. Semantics is just yet another buzzword for 'dead data, somewhat organized, but still dead, which we hope will make AI. Building larger or better organized datasets will get us nowhere if we can not put the initial 'cogito, ergo sum' into the machine. (And yes I know the 'cogito' is not the ultimate first thought of any mind.) The defining characteristic of life is the fact that data has meaning to a it. What will it take to spark that in a computer?

  20. Gentoo already did it on Google Goggles Solves Sudoku · · Score: 1

    Portage can solve sudokus in no time. Can't find the link now but just make ebuilds of the squares.

  21. Re:*HOW* Much?! on Social Security Information Systems Near Collapse · · Score: 1

    Half a billion dollars? Are you fucking kidding me?!

    It's not that much. The US prints and borrows more money every year. While it baffles me that americans can honestly believe that SS is a bad idea, it's still nothing compared to the world that honestly thinks lending real money to the US and buying dollars in return is a good idea.

  22. Re:frosty piss on Cedega Being Replaced By GameTree Linux · · Score: 1

    A repositioning is the silver bullet that solves all of your problems. For what i gather, if a company has no clue, they will reposition themselves hoping they end up doing something that turns a profit. If it doesn't work, lathe, rinse, repeat. Of course a better strategy would be to try to figure out the '2. ???' before '3. profit!'. But competence is a rare beast.

  23. Re:Aww poor Assange has to deal with leakers. on The Guardian's Complicated Relationship With Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Prepare to throw away, you will, eventually. The first batch of anything always sucks, but you still have to give credit for inventing the thing. But after that it's step aside, grandpa, the kids are in charge now.

  24. Re:If you're not going to read your forum ... on Why Creators Should Never Read Their Forums · · Score: 1

    Have a forum, hire someone to mine it for the gems.

  25. Re:Cost savings is really expensive. on Deferred IT Maintenance Is a Ticking Time Bomb · · Score: 1

    The english have an old saying: I am not that rich to afford something so cheap.
