  1. Re:Probably just a bug. on Microsoft Bots Effectively DDoSing Perl CPAN Testers · · Score: 5, Informative

    You're probably new here, but if you'd RTFA, you'd see that:

    It seems their bots completely ignore the rules specified in the robots.txt, despite me setting it up as per their own guidelines on their site

    Come to think of it though, isn't this what happens to most people who try to interoperate with Microsoft?

    Amusingly, if I Google for "bing robots.txt" I get a link to a bing page titled "Bing - Robots.txt Disallow vs No Follow - Neither Working!" which has already been elided from history by Microsoft. CLassy.

    You realise that you're posting to a site where the "editors" regularly dupe each others stories while they're still on the front page, right?

  5. Re:Is putting a bounty on someone's life illegal? on Is Gawker's "Apple Tablet Scavenger Hunt" Illegal? · · Score: 1

    What on earth do you mean by "a civil law"? If you mean a breach of contract, then contract law statutes apply, but only to the parties of the contract. Unless you can point at a statute that prohibits "incitement to breach a contract", then your point is both gibberish and irrelevant, rather than just gibberish.

  9. This is great news for me! on New Assassin's Creed Next Year, Will Have Multiplayer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because the one thing I hate more than anything else is having to decide whether to play a new game, instead of the latest version of the game franchises that I've already committed to.

    Mind you, there's still a bit too much choice in the market. Assassin's Creed is way too much like Prince of Persia for my tastes. Couldn't they combine them in some way so that I don't have to make any choice at all? And just call it Jumpy Swingy Stabby so that I know what I'm getting?

    Likewise with having to decide between Tom Clancy versus Metal Gear - why not just make Sneaky Snappy Shooty?

    Come on, games industry, get with the program. There's no need for all this confusing, infuriating choice and originality! Just give us more of what we already like, every year, forever. Where's my Drive Pimp Murder Drive 2010?

    Does anyone find this a turn-on?

    No, absolutely nobody at all finds it hot. There's simply no explanation for it.

    To me, it's gross and degrading.

    Darn skippy it is. All right thinking people prefer their porn to be clean, hygienic and a respectful paean to the mortal incarnation of the Earth Goddess. In fact, I'll only watch procreative missionary sex between a husband and wife. Fully clothed. Shot in the dark.

    The screen, not the whole system. This is a projector system. The question is, and remains, how much separation is required between the projector and the screen?

  16. Re:Riddle me this on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    In a pure free market system, I could slap "Sony" on my goods and sell them as such. The problem with you Freebies is that your definition of "free" is always "just enough regulation to support my particular Utopian fantasy".

    What if I make a crop that produces razorblades? Should I feed that to my kids? 'Cause, apparently just like Monsanto's Evil Scienticians, I'm a complete retard, and can't make the connection between harmful and harm without you to explain it to me.

    Say; what if I made a crop that produces Hitler? Would that be bad?

    In a free market, what's to stop them just buying Monsanto slop, throwing some grit in it, and selling it for twice the price as "GM-free organic"?

    Actually, what's to stop them from doing that right now?

    • Scientician: Mr President of Earth, we've picked up an asteroid on a potential collision course with earth!
    • Mr President of Earth: Great Scott! Will it hit us?
    • Scientician: Yes! Maybe. I mean, probably. We're pretty sure that it might.
    • Mr President of Earth: And how much damage will it do?
    • Scientician: Ah, a good question. That depends on what it's made of.
    • Mr President of Earth: What's it made of?
    • Scientician: We're 92% confident that we'll learn that with a 57% probability after it hits us.
    • Mr President of Earth: ... 'k. And where will it hit?
    • Scientician: Well, if it hits the earth, it's more likely to hit a wet bit. Unless it doesn't. And it'll probably be in the Northern hemisphere, unless it's not.
    • Mr President of Earth: So we should...?
