    Of course the Neos on the screens that say different numbers may just be from the possibility that he heard wrong.


    how can he mishear something if it is transmitted directly into his brain? and just mishear it so that the numbers are getting smaller? out of the infinite set of natural numbers, he only hears numbers smaller than 7?

    highly improbable. that's almost like the odds of dodging a bullet. ;)
  2. Re:The one thing I didn't understand on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    i'm pretty confident that they are showing the past versions of neo, because when the architect tells him that he is the 6th neo (or was it the 7th?), you here the other ones say "there were 4 before me?", "there were 3 before me?" and so on. (at least in the german dubbed version. ahem.)

    "..the move will prevent [consumers] from playing titles [...]"

    no.

    the move will make consumers play pirated games instead of imported ones.

    To be the same species it needs to be possible to mate normally - not with great difficulty and lots of outside intervention.


    So female and male pandas are really two different species?

    but the default decryption mode of libdvdcss uses the legit player keys (which can be reverse-engineered from any encrypted dvd), which is perfectly legal (no encryption broken), since the player keys aren't protected by copyright but are simply trade secrets and can be reverse engineered legally.

    on the other hand, libdvdcss provides two fallback methods which actually break the encryption of the dvd. by the use of those you agree to some serious butt-rape in a DMCA-gulag of the plaintiffs' choice.

    ... the "liberation" of Iraq wasn't about oil or WMDs (did anyone ever believe this?) but to bring DEMOCRACY to Iraq so you Americans can flee your police state. Now that's clever.

    whoopsie. typo. good thing i put the inscription through slash-spellcheck-a-dot before burning it onto the ring. you know how ill-tempered sauron gets if someone screws up his jewellery.

    it would be
    One ring to rule them all,
    One ring to find them,
    One ring to bring them all

    On the other hand, mood rings are pretty cool, too.

    seems i b0rked my joke. actually, the parent praised konqueror for its ability to play mp3 and ogg, and hence i implied that while mozilla DOES have the kitchen sink (i should have included that link, i just was too lazy), konqueror does not.

  20. It's a price thing. on Presenting The CDR-ROM · · Score: 1

    You know why pre-recorded (with music, software, whatever) CDs usually come as CD-ROMs and not as CD-Rs? Because in large quantities it's WAY cheaper to press CD-ROMs than it would be to burn CD-Rs.

    This idea would let companies press CD-ROMs cheaply, while still allowing the user to add some data to that.
