  1. I'd rather watch Plan 9 then Star Wars 2. on Lost Ed Wood Film Unearthed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Signifigantly more entertaining.

  2. Wonder sometimes? on Child Porn Accusation As Online Extortion Tactic · · Score: 1

    I'd say that the scammer/pervert/pirate to free speech soldier is about 5000:1.

  3. Being out of date. on Updates From Debian · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's niche is being so out of date that hackers are no longer familiar with it's versions of packages.

  4. He was for it, before he was against it. on Would John Kerry Defang the DMCA? · · Score: 1

    That's so out of character for him.

  5. Don't believe the hype on Medical Care Gets Outsourced Too · · Score: 0

    The difference in insurance rates in states that have and haven't capped med mal insurance rates are statisticaly insignifigant.

    The notion that lawsuits are the primary determinant of increasing healthcare costs has been debunked numerous times. Check google for specifics.

  6. It did? on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    The Constitution is a piece of parchment and ink. A right is simply a standard. Standards are a convenience. No one is bound to them in any sort of intrinsic way.

  7. Right to a profit? on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    What if I don't recognize that right? Who gave you that right?

    I think you mean, that it's the usual practice to profit from your work. But guess what, that's your problem not mine.

  8. Rights shmights on GTA: San Andreas Leaked · · Score: 1

    Rights are only a social convention, a clause in the fuzzy social contract. There is nothing inherently valid about them.

  9. Parent Comment is Flamebait: on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    Islam means "peace". It is a "peaceful religion"(tm).

    Just look at how well Islamic countries get along with their neighbors.

  10. Or as the good book said: on The War Of The Virtual Worlds · · Score: 0

    A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace
    Eccl. 3:8

    Blessed be the LORD my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle;

    God may love peace, but he's no sucker.

  11. adaptive optics on Telescope Will Have Images 10X Sharper Than Hubble · · Score: 1

    I believe I heard once that some of this technology is derivative of the old SDI program. Can anyone confirm or refute?

  12. What fallacy would that be? on Data Miners Moving to Offshore Data Havens · · Score: 1

    What category of fallacy is it?

  13. Nope on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 1

    a mixture of gases including hydrogen and sulphur ... from a volcanic lake.

    I'm looking something about deaths from CO2 releases from C02 injections for oil drilling. Not toxic clouds from a volcano.

  14. references? on Zero-emission Power Plants Proposed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This has happened when CO2 injection was used to pressurize oil wells to squeeze more oil out of the gound.


    They are still doing this. Any pointers to the deaths you mentioned?

  15. Please post a link! on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 1

    I have videos of model planes bursting into flames due to a bad lipo

    Hopefully these are in-flight.

    This is the real it?

  17. Ebay is for suckers. on Paypal Grinds To A Halt · · Score: 1

    Didn't your parents teach you any common sense? You're making thousand dollar deals through the internet with someone you don't know with a company called paypal. Smack yourself. Smack yourself again.

  18. Sorry about your childlike hands. on Halo 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 0, Troll

    But the Xbox is targeted towrds a slightly older demographic. Try the gamecube, should be right up your alley.

  19. No problem with them here. on Dell Recalls Millions of AC Adaptors · · Score: 1

    GX260's right?

    Maxstor drives I believe, at least for the last year or so.

    Perhaps something in your environment.

  20. Did the typo confuse you. on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 1

    At least fou othe people undestood it with the missing 'r'. Are you eading challanged?

  21. Neilsen pays you cash money. on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Spyware installs surreptitiously and degrades you performance.

    What spyware outfit do you work for?

  22. Let's get a rope. on House Passes Another Spyware Bill · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Execute them!

  23. Democrats need the immature vote to win. on Video Game Characters to Get Out the Vote · · Score: 1

    I think it's pathetic commentary on the Democratic party that they feel it necessary to pander to children. While there are many fine upstanding young adults under the age of 25, few have the life experiences and wisdom that are necessary to make decisions about governance.

    The Democrat party caters to these impressionable and immature voters, catering to their adolescent tendancies of rebellion.

    I know my politics are a heck of alot different before I was 25 then they were when I was past 25. I realize now that I was the stereotypical dumb kid, which is exactly what you should be, just not a dumb kid and enfranchised.

  24. Gay on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: -1, Troll

    No doubt about it.

  25. Method used, no doubt. on Europeans To Monitor American Voters · · Score: 1

    Read Bush v Gore. The vote counting was time constrained by safe harbor provisions. If it would have been further delayed the entire states results would have been subject to invalidation.
