  1. Thanks... on Dark Hearts And The Net · · Score: 1

    If I had moderation today I would mod this up.

    You make a good point about the wording that Bush used. However, I have heard the man speak enough to realize that what he means to say, and the literal meaning of his words are two different things.

    You know, those southern-isms and colloqualisms(sp). So as much as I'd like to believe Bush got this one right, I can't help but think that he didn't, but his poorish english made it appear so.

    What do you think?

  2. True Dat! on Are Virtual Worlds Worth It? · · Score: 1

    I agree...any game can be immersive. I used to walk away from defender all jittery and tense after a series of near-deaths while on my last ship. I get the same with Quake3. The difference is that Quake3 appears closer to real life and for some reason (for me anyway) gives me a much greater sense of urgency when running for my 'life' than I ever got in defender.

  3. Hell Yeah! on 2 Views of Hackers · · Score: 1

    And you didn't even use the poorly-secured house analogy...

    It just goes over their pointy little heads anyway.

  4. BS from South America on 2 Views of Hackers · · Score: 1

    Uhhhh...

    Where and When exactly has IBM cried about exposed security flaws in their software?

    Oh yeah, it's kinda hard to hire the UN-CAUGHT hackers! The only way you know he's got the skills to be caught in the act, otherwise your 'hacker' could just be a slashdot windbag speaking out of his ass.

    yep.

  5. I agree on New Q3A Patch And Mods · · Score: 1

    Say no to Mario Physics too.

  6. What is a "Well Paying Job"? on Emulator Maker Rants About Microsoft & Apple · · Score: 1

    If your field of work is computers, and you can't afford to drop 4 grand a year on a new system, maybe you're no good at your job? I personally choose not to buy a new one each year because I don't need it, but I found you comment about affordability disingenous.

  7. You're just jealous on Slashback: Imagination, Evasion, Watermarks · · Score: 1

    Cause your 2400 baud modem is too slow. Do you feel Echelon owes you a faster modem?

    Oh yeah, and your comment is pure abstract crap. Don't disregard extant solutions without a valid one of your own.

  8. JPop == Cheezy^3 on KDE 1.94 "Kandidat" released · · Score: 1

    Not only is it CHHEEEEEZZZYYY but it's still stuck in the 80's. Blech. Ackkk....thppthpp...

    Nasty.

  9. Hack Carnivore! on US Government Computer Security Evaluated · · Score: 1

    So...they may know things about you, but you'll know what they know! Or you might be able to change what they know about you.

    This Carnivore thing might be kind of cool...

  10. Give me that mail alias! on Campus Pipeline: Schools Selling Students' Eyes · · Score: 1

    I will be more than happy to summarize the reasons that campuspipeline sucks in a well written, well mannered message. I mean, there are advertisements all over schools these days, but when the line between official content and advertisements blurs so much, I am greatly offended. Yes, most people can still differetiate between the two, but that's not the point.

    I wonder how robust this system is! You should make _alot_ of friends, and send them all _alot_ of email (all class related of course!) and see how long it takes to bring the system to it's knees.

  11. oh boy...T1 in highschool on Are We Ready For Broadband Internet Access? · · Score: 1

    And what would they do with that T1, eh? What things could they do that would not be proscribed by the administration? No MP3s for sure...no porn of course. Would they stream audio/video? Do all the PCs have speakers to listen to audio? Download warez onto the drives?

    I can understand their bordom.

  12. shut your cockhole, please on How Much Do Models Influence Our Thinking? · · Score: 1

    These are actually valid comparisons.

    buttplug.

  13. You != OthersInTrailerPark on Mage The Ascension · · Score: 1

    Don't you know what JonKatz is doing to the SOIL!?!

  14. Yeah, but only... on Robot soccer - AIBO Blown Away · · Score: 1

    ...the parts of the world worth living in.

  15. Latin Speakers Esperanto Speakers on You Say Tomato, I say Fan Jia Qie? · · Score: 1

    By several orders of magnitude! And Latin is a rather logical language as well. I say we go back to Latin!

    I think you're a fool if you bother to learn Esperanto.

  16. Who Is Sexier: Linus or Bill? on WSJ Interview with Linus · · Score: 1

    I mean, this is the obvious question right? Considering the whole my-dad(os)-can-beat-up-your-dad(os) feeling of the Linux-Microsoft rivalry...

  17. Preach on Brotha! on Techno Jacket · · Score: 1

    This stuff will soon go the way of "Generra Hypercolor" and the like.

  18. Inflected Grammer on English Language And Its Effect On Programming? · · Score: 1

    Once I finish fighting my way through "Latin: An Intensive Course" I'll help you out with that. Sounds cool.

  19. An "e-commerce policy analyst" is NOT A NERD! on Danger in the Big Blue Room · · Score: 1

    This guy is what we call in my company "Living Furniture".

    Sounds like a freaking asshole too. Talking like a bad-ass to the cops...just digging yourself deeper son.

    Yeah it ain't right that they hassled him but life isn't always perfect. You plop yourself in a high-tension area looking like a stereotypical troublemaker and voila...you get picked up.

    I give this story -1 Bleeding Heart.

    Ugh.

  20. I want Further information on Ask Robert X. Cringely · · Score: 1

    Where did this article come from? I'm teaching myself classical Latin and found it very interesting.

  21. God Bless You on Web More Vulnerable Than Expected? · · Score: 1

    Yes...blessing o'plenty.

  22. So E != MC^2 ?!?! on Gravity Diluted By Multiple Dimensions? · · Score: 1

    I searched for the info but could not find it.

  23. It's not about 'Useful' Einstein... on NetBSD Progress On Sega's Dreamcast · · Score: 1

    It's about a cool hack for the hell of it. I already bought the thing so that I could play games. The only people who would do this are hackers anyhow. You wanna cheap terminal? Go get an old VTxxx and a long serial cable.

  24. The Pr0n Possibilities... on Helicopter In Space · · Score: 1

    With topic subjects like

    "Giant Rotors"
    and
    "Sterility"
    I can only wonder at the pr0n titles that await us should the "Titanic Organic Exploder" become reality!

  25. "Us Ugly Americans" (OT) on Cities Influence Their Own Weather · · Score: 1

    You shouldn't hate yourself so much.
