  1. Re:-1 Troll on Open Source Is Not a Democracy · · Score: 1

    I never suggested that a communist state was good or desirable. I merely stated some implications of it.

  2. Re:-1 Troll on Open Source Is Not a Democracy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Communism and democracy are not at odds with each other.

    Communism is an economic system. Democracy is a political system.

    It's possible for a system to be both. In fact, a genuine communist system would have to be democratic.

  3. Re:Excuse me? He's the President on Obama Administration Withholds FoIA Requests More Often Than Bush's · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't trust him for the simple fact that he's a politician.

  5. Re:NewEgg handled it well, on NewEgg Confirms Shipping Fake Core i7s · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I don't order parts online that often, but because of this, Newegg is getting put right to the top of the list of places I look at first when I do.

  6. Re:Caveat Emptor on NewEgg Confirms Shipping Fake Core i7s · · Score: 1

    "But... if you can't trust the Governments of the world, who can you trust?"

    FIFY

    YEAH! I know it by heart! You got a problem with that?

  7. "This solves the problem by embedding it...." on Theoretical Breakthrough For Quantum Cryptography · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "This solves the problem by embedding it in an extra abstract dimension, which is independent of space."

    Has it occurred to anyone else how UNBELIEVABLY FRIGGIN' COOL it is that a line like that shows up in an article that is talking about building an actual, physical device?

  8. Re:Two words on Apple's "iKey" Wants To Unlock All Doors · · Score: 1

    One more word...

    Blackout

  9. Re:No love for VRML on 3D Graphics For Firefox, Webkit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think that the point of 3D graphics in a browser is to build entire websites as 3D environments, but rather to have specialized sections of websites where they are applicable. For instance, fully rotatable views of items that you might purchase. Aside from being cumbersome to program, VRML wasn't nearly good enough to do something like that. This might be, however. I think that this technology, especially combined with the canvas tag, has the potential to do a lot of good for the web.

  10. Re:Good music comes from PAIN. on How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Music · · Score: 1

    Wait until we can develop a neural map of pain, and apply that map to the music algorithm.

    Hyperbole, Motherfucker! DO YOU SPEAK IT?

  12. Re:Mormons and Texans on Utah Assembly Passes Resolution Denying Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Bullshit.

    The Mormon church has been posthumously baptizing people who would never have joined the Mormon church when they were alive. The Mormons had the unmitigated fucking GALL to posthumously baptize Carl Sagan! An insult to everything the great man stood for.

    Who the Mormon church decides to put on their rolls means absolutely JACK!

  13. Re:Fate? on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 1

    Was hiring him a condition of the guy selling them the app?

    Mormons have not openly practiced polygamy since the 1800s.

    It'll be banned so fast that it'll make your head spin.

  16. No degree, and I started my current job at 60K on Is Programming a Lucrative Profession? · · Score: 1

    Web developer here. I started my current job at 60K, and I don't even have a degree.

    They upped it to 62,4 after a year. They said they wanted to give me more, but weren't sure what the health care bill was going to do to their budget.

    I had usa.net long ago, too. I left them when they became a pay service. Been using yahoo ever since.

  19. Re:Silly me on DRM and the Destruction of the Book · · Score: 1

    Probably force the manufacturers of smart mobile devices to bog down their products with software that prevents that kind of thing.

    It's a lot easier to compare text than it is to compare a recorded song, or an image of a dollar bill.

  20. Re:is it really that bad? on The Star Wars Christmas Special Still Exists · · Score: 1

    It's right down there with "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing".

    As was once said about that game, it is "As bad as your mind will allow you to comprehend."

  21. Re:Obvious (?) question on Super Strength Substance Approaching Human Trials · · Score: 5, Funny

    We would need to eat a lot more than the normal human needs to.

    The diet of the average American should just about cover it.

    No, not all of us.

    Just soldiers and government agents.
