  1. Re:WRONG! on Operation Titstorm Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    part of the problem is in an effort to get rid of stuff that is 100% illegal in 85% of the civilized world they are trying to define as much as possible as being illegal.

    The intent of the picture needs to be addressed not so much as the content.

  2. Piled Higher and Deeper on Windows Patch Leaves Many XP Users With Blue Screens · · Score: 1

    when you have a PHD you know enough to
    A teach others
    B get into real trouble

    the target site is so bad that TINY URL had a forced preview!!

  5. Re:Why bother? on Superbowl Tech Ads, 1976–Present · · Score: 1

    well if you consider dancers in HonolULU or a certain fad in the eighties related to dancing with a ring you might in north america figure out another streaming site that has been advertising that they will be showing the sopts

  6. Why the challenge is important on Game Difficulty As a Virtue · · Score: 1

    making something insanely hard "just because" does not make something fun

    1 always have some way to move the game forward (have a couple answers to "what do i do next??" at hand at all times) note going to some distant area of the level ripping a random object off the wall and then using it on some random decoration does not count unless the player could have grabbed it the previous time they saw said object

    2 killing any opponent should be discoverable (use "houses of magic" or a rock > paper > scissors system or have clues) note use random object on the opponent (or surrounding items) 9 times in a 4-6-7 pattern then use charging superweapon to hit an area thats the size of a microsd card and repeat 8 times before you can have a DEM effect enable you to actually hurt the opponent is never a good idea

    3 tools and upgrades should be findable (always have 2 of everything even if you have to have some DEM move a part of The Ultimate Super Weapon between sites to do this) note having the only place to get a critical tool or weapon a remote/off track area of a level/zone that is a massive shoot your way through "bug out of here" setup
    is another "never happen" type thing

    4 ammo/health/powerpacks have a reasonable amount findable but don't have enough to allow for "spray and pray"
    note having a noticeable cache include a plot device would be very legit and if you take a player to "max ammo" you are allowed to have them need to use said ammo

    5 is the game possible without using The Hint Guide?? if not then include the needed hints somehow
    (journal pages "sidekick" characters sign posts whatever)

  7. Re:Too much Windows open on Microsoft Looking Into Windows 7 Battery Failures · · Score: 1

    nice choosing the battle ground there

    of course its more likely that the game is WOW and the ten tabs are different quest guides and such

  8. a better way to say this on Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected · · Score: 1

    1 Don't be prey
    2 don't start fights
    3 always end them

    The absolute worst thing for a bully to get caught in is getting blasted by a girl so Those with kids (congrats btw)
    figure out how to teach your kid how to move correctly and how to cause PAIN
    (hit a guy in the right spot and it won't matter that your gloves/shoes are satin he is going down HARD)

    If your kid gets good enough "Be Somewhere Else" will be taken very seriously

  9. Re:Free? on How Many SUSE Subscriptions Can You Get For $240M? · · Score: 2, Informative

    What is not "free" is support above web forums and such and "Enterprise" level distros tend to include programs that run on but are by no means Open Source. In fact even individual level distros have things like DVD players and other commercial programs that run on Linux.

  10. I could believe that on UK Gov't Says "No Evidence" IE Is Less Secure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "there is no evidence that moving from the latest fully patched versions of Internet Explorer to other browsers will make users more secure."

    So if you have Windows 7 with all patches and MSIE 8 with all patches
    INCLUDING NONPUBLIC MICROSOFT INTERNAL PATCHES (to fix bugs not patched for yet)
    then yes you could be just as safe as if you had another browser.

    But what are the chances that somebody will be able to get all the patches without getting tagged?

  11. Know the indivuals to create the community on Solutions For More Community At Work? · · Score: 1

    drop down to the level where you have groups of say 30 people now ask whomever is in charge of that level to answer the following WITHOUT CONSULTING HR OR A SECRETARY
    for each employee
    1 what is this persons full name?
    2 what does this person like to be called?
    3 is this person married? To Whom?
    4 numbers and names of children?
    5 noteable skills of said children
    6 schools attended by said children
    7 noteable skills of the employee not related to the business
    8 noteable skills of the employeee related to but not currently used by the business
    9 this employee normally drives a _________

    if you can't answer some of those questions that would be your problem

  12. Re:Huh? on Grateful Dead Percussionist Makes Music From Supernovas · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just in case you may not know this but "Grateful Dead" is the name of a rock band (now currently inactive due to forced retirement of most of the members) they are known for (being a 60s band) Skeletons, teddy bears and wild mixes of colors known as "tie dye".

    Wikipedia know how to use it??

  13. take a couple pages from the Business World on Seinfeld's Good Samaritan Law Now Reality? · · Score: 1

    start mapping the gangs out in some sort of legal hyperspace (extent of turf held crimes commited ect)
    then figure out what gang or gangs you could live with taking over.
    Perform some sort of LBO and take over those gangs (or come to an "understanding")
    then arm your gangs enough to wipe out the other gangs (maybe have the police not interfere with gang on gang stuff)

    once you have "won" then see to it that the local military recruitment office gets the pick of the membership
    (heck isn't part of our problem in iraq that normal military doesn't think "urban" enough??)

  14. Wanna make a bet?? on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 1

    Im not sure about the timing but i would not be surprised if somebody from the HSLDF didn't meet them coming off the plane.

    Mr Smith has been doing this long enough that he doesn't miss all that much.

  15. Re:ACTA will kill people on Unpacking the Secrets of ACTA · · Score: 1

    2 patents on different "mixes" are automatically denied
    3 patents on delivery systems last for X+Y years
    4 patents on ways to make an active ingredient last for X+W years
    5 a company is required to make X% of the production of a patented drug availible to the government while the patent is active at shipping cost only
    6 a company is allowed to use people for testing IF THEY PROVIDE FULL CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE (and have only a minimum "wasteage") and they can not be sued for same (but will go up on charges if they make to many mistakes)

  16. Re:What CDs? on Bach Launches Updated MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    the funny thing is the folks that have the "rights" to the Compact Disc Audio (aka redbook) format sort of nailed them to the wall because all the stuff resulted in a noncomplient disc.

    you can't do that stuff and still have the CDA logo

  17. Now lets talk about the "which parish" problem on Pope Urges Priests To Go Forth and Blog · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the current Pope is telling priests to go forth and blog
    how would the situation of a Church in SecondLife be handled??
    (bonus round question are there any real cross and steeple churches with SL locations??)

    Personally i would challenge churches to extend their reach into this wilderness

  18. Re:Hundreds of millions on Microsoft Dodges Class Action In WGA Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    even better if they id your install as "stolen" even if it was paid for

    did you figure out what frys itself after one use so that you could maybe replace it??

  20. Re:No wonder on Wii Balance Board Gives $18,000 Medical Device a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    a jury may not have the input of Guilty of %charges% and the fine is US$XXX,0000 but
    the judge who does determine the fine has to take the guilty verdicts and then total up a list
    primary charges: X,000 each
    with will full rider: Y,000 each
    secondary charges: Z,000 each
    with will full rider: W,000 each

    then you get into bonus money for conduct during the trial and the judge being in a bad mood (or just not liking your lawyer) but before that step the judge is totalling up what the jury says

  21. Price is in the "too small for insurance" range on Wii Balance Board Gives $18,000 Medical Device a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    I could see some folks using this a first stage "cut out" instrument sort of like the difference between
    most road side BAC tests and a real live blood test or as a "backup" device.

  22. Bit of PC in the article on Dragging Telephone Numbers Into the Internet Age · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Using numbers made it easier to train people to operate the exchanges. (Women were chosen because their voices worked better in exchanges.)"

    No Women were used because the messenger boys they replaced were proto-hackers and kept doing nasty tricks to the customers.

  23. Re:Theory bites back on Airport Access IDs Hacked In Germany · · Score: 0, Redundant

    well first off
    WHOOSH!!!!

    okay now that thats done any cypher of the type rotY(N/2) is useless for anything more than proof of intent type things
    (Y being the multiplier and N being the number of letters in the alphabet in use) and anybody that suggests one for a SECURITY SYSTEM should be minimum reprimanded and possibly shot for being criminally stupid

    and in fact any kind of rotX cypher is only good for spoiler protection or similar use
