  1. Re:Used to run Linux, backups on Arrests Made Near D.C. Over Modded Game Consoles · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I actually only use my modded xbox to watch pirated movies and hear pirated music.

  2. Re:What will happen... on Live to be 1000 Years Old? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Longer lifespan doesn't mean an exponential population explosion, neither does a longer fertility period. These just mean a finite growth that would stop at an equilibrium point. After that you would still grow exponentially, but not at a higher relative rate. Now if over the fertile lifespan, people decide to breed like rabbits, now you have a real explosive situation

    Popular film predates radio consumer level radio broadcast, which was called 'wireless' anyway.

  6. Re:WTF?!?! on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 0
    I'm sorry to hear that. See, the truth is, the employees of EA could quit and work elsewhere. When EA starts losing too many good people, their practices will change, or their company will suffer. When potential employees start hearing more stories like the one this person posted, their recruitment will drop.
    Well, that's assuming there's a limited amount of good enough people ready to bend over.
  7. LOL nerds are teh virgins on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 0
    I am retaining some anonymity here because I have no illusions about what the consequences would be for my family if I was explicit. However, I also feel no impetus to shy away from sharing our story, because I know that it is too common to stick out among those of the thousands of engineers, artists, and designers that EA employs.
    Come on, the EA employee in question is probably the only EA employee with a significant other. Finding the "culprit" will be very easy.

  9. Re:Underwater Speaker on Waterproof MP3 Player Uses Bone Conduction · · Score: 0
    It seems that water carries sound much better than air, but IANAP(physicist).
    It also carries sound four times as fast, which is why your brain is too slow to echolocate the source as accurately.

    you won't understand this one, but cheval/oiseau= vachel/oiseau = bete a pis l / bete a ailes = beta pi l / beta l = pi. Therefore horse/bird=pi

  15. Re:Does Netcraft confirm it? on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hey, kid, I had a vast hoard of mp3s before napster. Those were the days. I needed a whole night to encode a whole CD. You kids are spoiled. (This is a shameless blatant stub for the barefoot in the snow, uphill in both ways routine)

  16. Re:w00t ! another superhero flick... on Superman Set To Fly · · Score: 0

    You mean that story with the tripods who have conquered the world, reverting umans to preindustrial condition and enslaving them with brain implants ? That was great indeed.

  17. Re:What's wrong with PGP? on Gmail Begins Signing Email with DomainKeys · · Score: 0

    Very constructive. Of course, the GnuPG cryptosystem has no connection at all with PGP. And they're very incompatible.

    On a off topic note, I still have three Gmail invites and will give them away to replies that criticize George Bush's Policy. (Criticize != Bash)

  21. 4 invites left on Google Launches Google Print · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Meanwhile I've got 4 gmail invites. The 4 first responses criticizing George Bush's policy OR (to play fair) telling me how he's not the most lousy US president post WWII America has known, will get an invite.

  22. 6 invites on John Doerr Disclaims Rumored GBrowser · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Meanwhile, I have 6 invites for the non-vaporware GMail.

    Every reply explaining me how hard George W Bush sucks will get one.

    If you're the sporty type, you will also get one if you explain me how he's not the most lousy president post WWII America has known.
