  1. My own TTT bootleg. on Engrish LOTR: The Two Towers Captions · · Score: 1

    First off it has the credits from an entirely different movie on it somehow, which you sometimes see when using the next and previous scene buttons.

    It even has the subtitles from one, if not more, entirely different movies, in funny Engrish themselves made funnier by the fact that Gimli is talking about DNA or Elrond is interrogating Arwen on the Union Warship.

  2. I know what you mean on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    I work in the Anomolous Materials lab of a top-secret research facility in the Southwest and these things are all over. They're packed up in crates, but if you bust open a crate the size of two full-grown men you only find one medkit about the size of your head inside!

    On top of that, they're hiring all sorts of assholes like that new guy Gordon...

  3. Infectious disease labs... on SmartDust Sensorwebs 'Real Soon Now' · · Score: 1

    The CDC and similar facilities have the reverse of this - they keep the "really nasty disease" labs at a lower atmospheric pressure so that if any germs get loose or an airlock seal fails no germs will not be able to float out.

  4. Re:History of ignoring warnings... on DDoS for Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    "Modern firms know that customers pay for service, not software..."

    Like all the multi-billion dollar Linux companies, right?

  7. Re:cdrom drive? on The 1991 "X-Box" · · Score: 1

    I remember taking apart an old computer once, and the CD Rom drive connected to the SOUND CARD.

    I mean, WTF? Who came up with that glorious idea?

  8. As someone who's helped with my school's tech. on The Costs of Making a DRAM Chip · · Score: 1

    I say to you that we don't want any of people's obsolete and broken computers. It's more of a hassle trying to get them to work than they're ever worth.

  9. Re:Quality of music on Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nope.

    I'm 17 and I still think the popular music of today is shit.

  10. Re:Oh, man. Hear it comes. on Data Mining Used Hard Drives · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I have heard that the DOD way of "sanitizing" a hard drive is to open it up and dissolve the platters in acid.

  11. Re:Shit and Perdition on China Blocks Bloggers' Sites · · Score: 2

    It sounds even dumber now that I now it comes from splitting "weblog" in half not to just get "blog" but to get "we blog."

  13. Shit and Perdition on China Blocks Bloggers' Sites · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Every time I read the word "blog" I feel like putting on boots and stomping on baby kittens.

    It's about the stupidest word ever. There's not even a clear definition. As far as I've ever been able to figure out, a "blog" has to be:

    -A Website
    -Updated Sometimes
    -The Updates are displayed in reverse chronological order

    Which makes half of the internet a "blog." Take out the requirement that it's a website, and newspapers and magazines would be "blogs" too.

    It's a stupid, dirty word.

  14. Re:Google.ca redirect. on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 2

    "Did you mean to search for" is great.

    It only comes into effect when your search returns no results, so it's not like you're missing anything.

    Tim

  15. Re:Yes it does... on Honeymoon Over For Google? · · Score: 2

    The Searchking guy suing Google is a fucking internet adman. The damn scum of the earth. His suit is a ridiculous money grab - he's even selling access to the legal documents.

    As for the Scientology links, whenever they would have been the result in a search, Google puts on a notice that certain results have been removed by the DMCA - with a link to see those results.

    With the China situation, Google has basically done nothing at all either way. It's easy enough to filter searches. Since they are in the URL any censorware can do it. Google doesn't have to help.

  16. Re:look at their editorial content on S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    It's not a crime to get a blowjob. It is a crime to smoke some crack. Fix the drug laws or put Bush 43 in jail, I say.

    Tim

  17. Re:look at their editorial content on S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse · · Score: 2

    That perhaps the question should have never come up? What does it matter legally that Willy is getting some blowjobs?

    If you'd like to talk about violating the law, how about Bush 43's admitted crackhead days?

    Heh, we have a Girl who goes to RPI, posting. What next, other mythical creatures like bigfoot and unicorns?

  19. Re:Sara so I assume you support affirmative action on Girls not Going into CS · · Score: 2

    Since when do whites have a free pass into college? It is Blacks and Hispanics who are average to somewhat below average in the body applying to X Elite College that get a free pass, and the Whites and Asians have to work harder to make up for it.

    "but what other way is there to make things equal?"

    By establishing some equality, not by putting in more inequality.

  20. Re:Here's how to do it on Pinewood Derby Tips? · · Score: 2

    There's momentum and stuff like that. Also, if the track levels out at the end, it's best to have the weight more towards the back so it is on the ramp longer.

  21. O'Reilly on 25 Years of O'Reilly Books · · Score: 2, Funny

    "GLP'd research/programs/code/technology/whatever ensures that imrpovements in the whatever are kept in the public domain"

    No, it ensures that GPLed research remains under the GPL.

    The GPL is not public domain.

    Public domain is the real "free software."
