  1. Re:A terribly misleading headline on Symantec Says No To Pro-Gun Sites · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Don't anti-gun sites fall under the "gun site" category?

  2. Good idea maybe on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 0

    Maybe if everyone had these, it would lead to smarter intersections.

    Traffic lights can be a pain sometimes. How many times have you been the only car stopped at a clear intersection, and the light didn't turn green until the light directing the other road had stopped someone? Being able to control the traffic light at an empty intersection would be nice. Maybe these things could be modified such they only work at certain times of the day when there is little or no traffic. 50 people simeultaniously trying to change the light would only cause havoc.

  3. Sounds like fun on League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Trailer · · Score: 0

    Looks like something I could watch while I'm waiting for the Red Dwarf movie to come out this winter.

  4. Reminder on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This shuttle had an Isreali American on board, which generated a lot of press. NASA upped their security for the launch because they feared the threat some sort of terrorist act might be carried out.

  5. $4000 on How Much Does it Cost to Produce a Recording? · · Score: 0

    Megadeth's first album cost $4000 to produce. The record company gave them $8000, but the other half was spent on drugs (mainly cocaine).

  6. Re:it's a good thing it wasn't... on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 0

    You haven't experienced Shakespeare until you've read it in its original Klingon.

  7. How much fucking modification does DNF need? on Wired News: 2002's Greatest Vaporware · · Score: 0

    How much fucking modification does Duke Nukem Forever need? This is DUKE NUKEM we're talking about. There's no need for it to take six years to be released. They could release this using the Quake 1 engine for all the intended audience cares. As long as there's plenty of gore, juvenile humor and lots of topless women, this thing will sell like mad.

  8. Re:Don't Forget To Wire POW/MIA Caves In Laos on Help Wire Remote Laos Villages · · Score: 0

    And I personally know that we are still sending people to Laos to retrieve POWs.

  9. Al Qaeda's website on Total Commercialization Awareness · · Score: 1, Funny

    Al Qaeda already has a website. Since I'm an American I'm not allowed to link to it.

  10. Not Mozilla's problem on Review of Mozilla's 2002 · · Score: 1, Informative

    But, starting with 1.0, technical advancement just is no longer the issue for Mozilla. Open Source projects have the proven capacity to nominally pace their commerial counterparts' new features and to do so with a much more sane and better-written approach.

    The main focus of the Mozilla project is and always will be software development. It's up to the Mozilla based distributions (Chimera, KMeleon, Phoenix, Netscape, Beonex, etc.) to worry about marketing and distribution.

  11. Re:Will they send four? on Chinese Launch 4th Shenzhou · · Score: 0

    This is offtopic, but what the hell.

    During the WW2 liberation of Manchuria, American troops were taught that the difference between a Chinese soldier (good) and a Japanese soldier (bad) was that the Chinese were much taller. They were on average, taller than the American troops as well. So there goes the short Chinaman myth.

    And a sidenote, one of the NBA's tallest players at 7'6" is Chinese. Yes I realize that the Chinese aren't all seven feet tall, but come on, I'm on a roll with this Chinese aren't short thing.

  12. Re:How does apple feel about this? on iPod on Linux... with GPLed software · · Score: 0

    Just as long as the front end doesn't look like Aqua....

  13. Seriously. on A First Look At The Xandros Desktop · · Score: 0

    Seeing how the rest of the OS is "borrowed" from Windows, I'm surprised they didn't install the Internet Explorer Skin as the default.

  14. You give your parents an OS you wouldn't use? on A First Look At The Xandros Desktop · · Score: 0

    You would give your parents an OS you wouldn't use? C'mon! That's like giving them food you wouldn't eat.

    My mom uses NetBSD. l33t!!!

  15. FreeBSD 5? on FreeBSD Freezes Code For 4.7 Release · · Score: 0

    Is the last release before FreeBSD 5?

  16. Many people don't care on Want Freedom? · · Score: 0

    The sad truth is, many people don't care. The world they see is limited to what goes on in their everyday life. They go to work, come home, do family things, then sleep. As long as nothing interferes with this process, they don't care. Why worry about what's going on in Iraq if it doesn't bother you? I doubt most people would care whether or not we lived by the constitution or under a dictator. Just as long as it doesn't bother their daily schedule, they are happy.

  17. FuCK GazWad on Microsoft News Update · · Score: 0

    On the Windows Xp Newsgroup, a guy named Gazwad claims the key was released by himself as a joke.

  18. Quality and eMusic on HMV to Sell Digital Downloads · · Score: 3, Informative

    How is this any different from EMusic, a company that offers entire albums for download at something like $9.99/month?

  19. Use Kazaa Lite on LotR Two Towers Trailer Online · · Score: 0

    Filename: Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers.mov

  20. The Moon Belongs to America on Moon Rock Winds Up In Court · · Score: 0

    I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but well, until your country sets foot on the moon, it belongs to us.

  21. Pledge is Voluntary, unlike money..... on Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    The pledge is totally voluntary, unlike money, where I have to put my hands on God's filthy name every time I make a tranaction. I think our nation's motto "In God We Trust" should be looked into as well.

  22. Re:Asians DON'T look alike to non-asians on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 0

    Well I'm Asian, don't live around any, and I can tell what country an asian person's from just by the way they look. Except North Chinese and Korean, I have problems differentiating between the two.

  23. How to secure Outlook Express on Virus Piggybacks Microsoft Mail Worm · · Score: 1, Informative

    This how to guide gives step by step instructions (with pictures, yay!) on how to secure an Outlook client.

  24. Should be called Doom IV on Doom III Officially Announced · · Score: 0

    Why aren't they calling this Doom IV? Wasn't Final Doom the third game in the Doom series?

  25. Ethnic Cleansing on Campaign-Themed Video Games? · · Score: 0

    This has already been done. There's a 3d Action game called Ethnic Cleansing where the objective is to kill as many Jews and Blacks as possible on the streets of New York. A bit extreme, but it's politics nonetheless.
