Why is CmdTaco such an ass?

Seriously, I have the check the "posted by" and skip the CmdTaco stories. Such bad taste, such stupid comments. Why do you let this redneck school boy post stories and make comments? It really detracts for the website.
On one hand, company's scream, shout and sue if somebody publishes an exploit for one there products. When things are handled/reported they way they want, they try to cover it up... sorry, i think that's bad practice and Opera doesn't deserve a "grace" period between the expoit being reported to them and anonouncing it to the public.
Why broadcast security problems (which only invites people to try to exploit the problems)?
Kind of a "BushCo" approach to security, no? Don't tell anybody anything? That's not security. People NEED to be informed so they can protect themselves. And it doesn't "only invites people to try to exploit", it invites people to fix the exploit on their computer. That's my computer and my data that Opera is exposing to risk of compromise - hidding it from me is just dirty practice.
Imagine if a door lock maker tried the same thing? Secretly fixing a security floor then making the lock shinny or gold or something in the hopes you'll upgrade.
Well, I'm quite happy to remove Opera from my system now.
2. All information in his article is public knowledge combined from a variety of sources who have made public statements to the same effect.
3. The CIA reviewed the document and declared that it contained no sensitive information.
4. This isn't this characters first time doing this.. He's cleared some 30 different articles with the CIA and has not once including and until now had any issues.
And also:
5. xxxx xxx xx xxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xx x xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxx.
Hmmm...you have to go visit your old, retired, disabled, super bored mother every month? Im sure she is really really interested in getting a computer that stops you from visiting her.
But he lives at home, allow me to translate:
"prefers to call me and complain every time her computer is broken" = shout down to the basement.
"She's retired, disabled" = I live rent free on mum's disability allowance.
"I have to visit her and fix her computer" = Leave basement to fix computer.
"It's really a drag on my life" = I don't have a life.
"I have a family of my own to worry about" = I've got an ant farm and some sea monkeys.
"frankly couldn't give a shit whether her computer works" = I'm scared shitless of her.
What exactly does a profit-driven private company get out of sending a probe/whatever to Jupiter/wherever to determine whether the air is purple/whatever?
$4000 to $40000 per kilogram depending on where that whatever is...
Scientists/government/NASA can build space research tools, commercial engineers can build launch vechicles.;) There are still lots of stuff for scientists/government/NASA to do and maybe if they don't have to worry about getting projects into space they can get more research done. (Yes, people will die from cheap engineering and corner cutting, but hey, people are dying in over-engineered, over-regulated, by the numbers space craft too.)
animal research indicating that the venom protein may inhibit tumor growth even without a radioactive component, Mamelak said.
So, would that mean, if a glioma patient has of chosen to see a shaman witch doctor (note, probably too much redundancy in the last three words), who stung him with a yellow scorpion, might live longer than a patient in a similar condition under going western treatment. Depending on how healthy the patient and the ability of the shaman to administer a non-lethal dose, or maybe the scorpion delivers only a small amount of venom in one sting. Hmmmm.
I can't put forward how the shaman would know about this or diagnose the condition. Maybe he just stings everybody with a yellow scorpion, but does it often enough that he stopped killing patients a long time ago.
Peace.

All the human race? Or just me?;-) j/k
I don't see a big problem surviving the next 100years (as a race), we'll probably have large popullation loss from the problems we are creating (global warming, war, starvation, etc.), but I don't see that as a bad thing.
Bring it on!
...if your skull lets a blow from a knee damage your brain permanently or severly, you either have some seriously shit luck or there's something fantastically wrong with your skull.
Wanna put your skull where you mouth is and let knee you in the head? You'll very quickly find you have no idea what you are talking about. At best you'll spend the next 3 months with a concussion.
...I've never once suffered even a concussion......I've suffered short term memory loss, disorientation, temporary migraines, and blindness.
Do you even know what a concussion is? Or are you saying you don't get concussions, just all the normal concussion effects but none of the concussion?
Good luck with the rest of your life, and stay out of fights.
I live in the SF bay area if you want to take me up on the offer.
Frankly, speaking as a solid hard-right conservative, I'd prefer to use paper ballots and inked fingers. Seems to work a helluva lot better than the crap we've been using for the past 20+ years.
As much as it worries me when I agree with members of the far right, er, sorry, I mean hard-right, I got on this. American is no longer a democracy, it stop being a democracy when the elections became unverifiable. Now we find out (duh) the machines are tamper proven (rather than tamper proof), making election results meaningless.
I'm sure we could do better than inked fingers as well, but it's better than what we are doing right now.
Though Democrats can always rely on dead people to send in their absentee ballots.:)
Yes, both sides are cheating bastards, I think this is main reason democrats didn't cry foul in the election. This is isn't election, it a competition to see who can cheat the best.
As for dead people, well the democrats have to rely on dead politicians getting elected to keep the 'right' out.;-)
No way I would avoid any roads with these, that energy the ramp "creates" it is really sapping from the vehicle.
I assume you mean you don't want to drive on the roads with these 'ramps'.
Heres an idea, since I was already taxed for purchasing the gas USE THAT MONEY TO POWER THE LIGHTS.
That brings up an interesting point. Maybe, I'm paying tax on gas to power traffic lights
in your town? (I know taxes are a little more complex than that, but....) How about the
people who are using the traffic lights pay for them? That sounds pretty fair, right?
If you live on a street that has few traffic lights, why should you pay taxes for three
streets over to power x5 the number of traffic lights when you never drive there?
This would make the lights powered by the people who are using, rather than by people
who are not using them.
I do! For most trips I bring my phone, normaly end up using it
a couple of time at the airport waiting for my fight out (paying all
the bills I, er, forgot to pay so my gas/electic/DSL is still on when
I get back). Then turn it off until I get home (ok, sometimes I'll make a
call once I return to get a ride back from the airport). Otherwise it
doesn't get turned back on until I'm home and can be bothered checking
v-mail.
We are talking about the "retooling of the Mini-ITX" link right?
No, there are links embedded in content, dragging the mouse of those causes a overlay/popup.
There are some other posts below complaining about the same thing. There where around a
dozen of these links.
I'm only pushing this because I am curious about the technology used to push ads.
If you seriously can't see those really annoying ads, then maybe there are doing it
to some people and not others. I got no enjoyment or information out of the article
because the ads where too much, I couldn't continue reading or navigate around the
article, I've found more useful search engine spam sites than that page. Maybe they
don't want to drive way all there customers/readers with the spam website format,
so they are only doing it to a subset of their readers. Kind of like how Amazon was
jacking up the price of books for certain customers (the random pricing thing).
Layover/popup ads, which I find very obnoxious since they obscure part of the article.
These are not popup windows, but some javascript/css over lays. They popup with an
ad in them every time you move the mouse pointer over a link in the article. I guess
it's possible your web browser doesn't support or has turned off the feature require
for those obnoxious fuckers to work. Or maybe ads popping on text you are reading
doesn't count as obnoxious to you - each to their own and all that.

Corrupt cops framing me for something I didn't do? Or persecuting me for something (legal) I did which they don't like.... Never happens, right?....

Y2k is not "years ago". It's not even "years ago" to my 8yo...
Nooo fool. He means "this was years ago now... 2000 years ago I believe". It's in the bible, look it up, book of Nerds 3:18.

Sounds fast than the ~3second claim for the electric car as well...
Not that I don't think a fast electric car is cool, but the mis-placed bragging certain detracts from the coolness a lot...
It's all about OCCAM!
But why are reading this crap, it's not even working properly. If this was a "because he's a geek" thing, it wouldn't be such a half assed attempt.
Well, obviously the cockroach was a sinner. It doesn't happen to cockroaches who are good and don't commit sins.
Repend! Repend! Or W.A.S.P.s will lay eggs in your brain.
Not with my money, I'm asking for refund. Damn page isn't even up any more!
