  1. What Apple REALLY needs to do,,, on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1


    What Apple really needs to do is release a gaming console system that ships with TWO F'N CONTROLLERS INSTEAD OF ONE!

    now THAT would be "innovative"...ya...

    hmmph. but no, Jobs and his brilliant room of dweebs comes out with a "new" 2-button mouse...yayyy for reverse evolution!

  2. what annoys ME... on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1, Troll

    what really annoys me is that you see a million people stating why they are voting AGAINST Bush, but hardly a soul among them can figure out why they are voting FOR Kerry...

    that says it all if you ask me. the morons of the world are being led around by wonderful shmucks like Michael Moore.

    yayy!

  3. Re:Defense & Economy on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    hmm.. ok, i'll take you on..

    1) please list these supposedly new and "empty" military training facilities.

    2) please tell me how keeping the experienced soldiers in the field until their rotation is up, regardless of their scheduled ETS, is a bad thing...?

    3) please list the high-ranking military officials who resigned SPECIFICALLY due to Bush's policies. that should be easy considering how many you claim to exist.

    4) if it's deemed sensitive code, why would you want it exported? for profit? thought so... I take it you are referring to cutting-edge encryption code? if so, then as far as I'm concerned, we shouldn't let it leave the NSA, let alone the borders...

    5) when/where did Bush attempt to reduce "combat pay"? It's been known for quite some time that it would remain at a steady and sufficient $225/mo, and seperation pay would remain at $250/mo. In fact, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is increasing an estimated 6.2%, staying well ahead of COLA and inflation increases.

    And last, but not least, where do you get you steaming piles of misinformation? just curious... try something new: backup your statements with facts and sources.

    bring it.

  4. Re:fairfax county va on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 2, Interesting

    im also in Fairfax, and we actually discussed this problem in line. There is nobody double-checking ID's at the booths, and there is nobody making sure people dont walk out after registering.

    the solution should have been to have folks check-in, then be forced to go straight into an area they cant leave from without giving up their card. monitor access to that room ensuring everyone has a blue card and arrives straight from the checkin table, and dont let any blue cards leave the room. (make sure there are restrooms in the second room! lol)

    I've been voting for 12 years, and today was just...odd! there is an underlying tension and general feeling of paranoia that has never been there before.

    it's very strange...

    As soon as I discover (note: not "come up with") my own great storyline, I'll make sure to thank naoiseo in the preface!

    now if i can just figure out how to interface my left and right brains to make this occur sooner rather than later...

  14. On order...of magnitude? on The Fabric of the Cosmos · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ok, lame subject... just wnated to say that every review i read on this book has be drooling. I ordered it last Saturday, and it may even arrive this afternoon. After reading the preface standing in Borders, I've been psyched to get to the rest...

    this has to be, by far, the subject I have the most interest in.

    now if I could only figure out a way to write a novel about deism, mysticism, quantum physics, and some young computer hacker, all together, THEN ID BE RICH!

    Ok, it's amazing, but I think most you are utterly clueless about the best mmorpg's in devlopment...

    Beyond Worlds of Warcraft (which is going to be a carebear festival! blah!), the really great new titles scheduled for release in 2004/05 are:

    1. Lineage 2 : www.lineage2.com
    2. Darkfall : www.darkfallonline.com
    3. Dark and Light : www.darkandlight.com

    you folks are limiting your expectations and vision to that which is thrown at you by the established game companies and gaming magazines... get a clue please, and check out the REALLY great mmo's coming out. Dont be scared just because they are pvp-based...lol!

  18. "PREY"... on The Swarmbots Are Coming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    there ARE actually a few writers of fiction who dedicate alot of time to great research on REAL technologies, then apply it to ifcitonal scenerios.

    Crichton is one of those. As is Dan Brown, Robin Cook, Tom Clancy...etc etc.

    Go check out "Prey," and it will introduce you to this technology in a "fun way," and even introduce you to the inherent risks and problems we face as these technologies emerge.

    with all of these tech/spec guides for work, it's nice to dumb it down with a novel every week or so! What I like to do is read one, then research the techonologies mentioned, and try to determine if they are Sci-Fi, or the real deal. Reading them is kinda like brainstorming, and gives me plenty of random knowledge ideas for me to go Google-crazy with!

    try it sometime...

    do what you like from home.. or quit and go back to flipping burgers.

    point is, this gentleman made several good points, and discussed several OPTIONS that all tend to provide better protection for everyone involved.

    you see, when it comes to the bottom line ($$), no company in the world is going to give a rats ass if you cant stand the fact they are monitoring/controlling your internet time.

    it's actually not YOUR time they are monitoring/protecting. it's theirs. wake up fool, not everyone is out to get you and take away you civil liberties. you hand those off at the door when you go to work. most of them anyways...

  20. The good ole' days... on Three Blind Phreaks · · Score: 1

    I sure as hell miss them! if it weren't for the late 80's and all the freedoms we HAD back then to experiment, then like them, i wouldn't be the highly paid security consultant i am today!
    getting nailed also turned me around, but i was 17, so i got to switch sides early!

    as long as these guys do nothing to harm me or my country, more power to 'em! there is no denying that the best of the best are the ones who learned how to get in before applying that and teaching others to keep people out. Screw the PhD's and all the "Educated" folk... real hacks know how to get the job done right without learning it from a book in a classroom! they will always be 2 steps behind, and wannabes! lol...

    And dont give me that "one country's terrorist is another country's freedom fighter" BS... Last time I checked, the women and other common civilians in those countries didnt have much "freedom"...

    I say we drop 1000000 protestors into Iran and see how they react to being not only imprisoned, but lined up and shit en masse shortly thereafter without a trial!
