  1. Re:First intelligent post. on Face Recognition — Clever Or Just Plain Creepy? · · Score: 1

    Waiting for graphical regex... :)

  2. Relativity on Scientists Solve Century-Old Optics Mystery · · Score: 1

    I think it all depends from which side you look at it. From the light's perspective, or from the surface.

  3. Cold cyber war on 'Greasemonkey' Malware Targets Firefox · · Score: 1

    I've had it. Virusses, malware, spam. A lot comes from Russia and China.
    Time to let them go. Let them infect their own internet.

  4. Re:Feds can track my cell phone... on Feds Can Locate Cell Phones Without Telcos · · Score: 2

    I wonder how a sceptic tank works.

  5. This isn't going to work on The Great Zero Challenge Remains Unaccepted · · Score: 1

    I have a challenge too. It's a 300GB harddisk on which i performed the same dd command.

    There is no catch. The disk was full of porn. There is no money to be won, but you get to keep the porn if you restore it.

    There is only one problem. I can't supply you all with a harddrive, so i made an image of the dd-ed harddisk.

    Use the next command to create your own version of my dd-ed harddisk and start restoring the data.

    dd if=/dev/zero of=myharddisk.img bs=1000 count=0 seek=$[1000*1000*300]

    Given the violent nature of the Spartans, I would think they were not "pro life".

  8. My apologies on Where To Draw the Line With Embryo Selection? · · Score: 1

    A little background information on this discussion should be in order.

    You have to know that the government is a coalition of three parties. Normally this is a combination of three of the biggest parties, but in this case they formed it together with one of the smaller christian fundamentalist parties.

    In the current coalition they are the ones that have objections to embryo selection.

    The big majority of all the other parties are pro embryo selection. The big majority of the population is pro embryo selection. They all understand that it doesn't make sense to put back an embryo that later on in it's life as human very likely will get a very nasty desease.

    In my opinion they understand that it is fundamentally sick to have the twisted religious moral of a few imposed on the whole population.

    In either case not all the embryos are put back, so in either case some will die. Now the dilemma is do you want your child to have this terrible desease with all the pain and sadness that comes with it or do you want a child that will lead a happy healthy life? Well, what kind of dilemma is that.

  9. and they should! on Japan Imposes "Fine On Fat" · · Score: 1

  12. It makes sense on Pentagon Wants Kill Switch For Planes · · Score: 1

    We have something for people too and it works even on longer distances.
    In that case we call it a kill trigger.

    Yeah, lord knows we need to lockup these hardcore photoshoppers. How can they live with themselves abusing pixels? So suppose somebody would photoshop you in a position where you're fucking a teenage crackwhore while being given a nazi tattoo on your ass and put it all over the internet. You're fine with that? After all, they're just altered pixels, right?
  21. Re:alteration illegal?? on Senators OK $1 Billion for Online Child Porn Fight · · Score: 1

    I'm sure no parent would like to see their child in a digitally altered porn picture.
    Although this probably wouldn't apply to those who are sick enough to put their dicks in places where they don't belong.

    We could have known that porn would be a key weapon in cyber warfare ;)

  24. Mirror on Dealing With Dialup · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should mirror the internet during the night, updating a local cache, and when they surf during the day, they actually surf the locally cached internet.

    They might even be able to use their browser cache for that, I would think. I have mine set at 50Mb and I never get complaints from my browser that it needs more, so I would say 50Mb is enough. Maybe set it to 100Mb of you also want a backup.

    I hope this helps. And if not, I still have a 14k4 modem somewhere of you want to speed up the caching process.
