  1. Re:Enough with the FUD on NASA Employees Fight Invasive Background Check · · Score: 1

    I just think its as funny as hell you need an MBA in order to understand what the forms say.

  2. Remember remember the 5th of november. on UK Proposal To Restrict Internet Pornography Sparks Row · · Score: 1

    Wont be long until people will stand up and say "Hands off".
    The government is supposed to serve the people, not rule us with an iron fist. Within fair and equitable laws we can decide what we want to see, how we want to live and what we choose to do with our lives. This kind of rampant censorship and the conversion to a big brother state cannot be allowed to continue.

  3. Queue the Panic on Explosives Camp · · Score: 1

    Begin anti-terror rants.
    Surely this will provide GW with proof that terrorist training camps are being set up within the united states. Maybe he will invade.

    Makes about as much sense as panicking about who can go do a course that looks like a lot of fun.

  4. Its a Freakin Ad! Calm the Hell Down on Award-Winning Ad Taken Off Air In Australia · · Score: 1

    I dont know what the fuss is about, its an ad, the kids in the ad are 2. Children that young do not steal your car and go for a cruise. Are these people retarded, who really thinks this stuff actually happens. I havent heard about many 2 year old car thieves.

    I am Australian and i have seen the ad lots, its just another bit of lame advertising aimed at making people buy stuff. There is no reason to overeact and people who complain about the benign crap in the world but dont worry about the actual issues that affect us all will be the first against the wall come the reveloution.

  5. Re:Quit Overreacting, You Big Babies! on TV Delays Driving AU Viewers To Piracy · · Score: 1

    As opposed to US English which isnt a language at all. LOL

  6. Re:So the /. crowd has bomb experience? NOT.... on Aqua Teen Hunger Force Brings Boston to a Halt · · Score: 1

    You would be amazed at how many of us have have done military service. Bombs that look like they were put together by a 4 year old are as dangerous to the person making them as the target and are not in the majority.

    I have seen IED's that were put together well, easily concealed and VERY effective.......And made by people with little in the way of Official electronics skills. They learn what they need to know. The ones that dont usually blow themselves up in the process.

  7. Hubble spys on Litter Tray on Hubble Telescope Maps Dark Matter in 3D · · Score: 1

    Why are we using the hubble to spy on Nibbler using the litter box.

  8. Re:National Debt? on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 1

    No, just pay for the war in Iraq.

  9. Really, you can pay us off in Installments. on RIAA Goes for the Max Against AllofMP3 · · Score: 1

    And if they win, how exactly are they going to pay this stupidly large amount of money. I think the quote to remember is "operating within Russian law".

  10. Ears..... on Universal Wants a Slice of Apple's iPod Pie · · Score: 1

    You listen with them, we have to charge you for the privilege.
    we know you have to use them for listening to illegal music.

  11. Interesting but...... on Groups Call For Investigation of MS Ad Service · · Score: 1

    The group is calling for an investigation of Online Advertising and Consumer Tracking and Targeting Practices http://http//www.democraticmedia.org/issues/privac y/FTCprivacypr.html/. It isnt just focusing on M$ but others as well. Hmmmm people see M$ and the blinkers go on I guess.

  12. I thought it was funny until...... on A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it was funny until I found an Atari 400 in the shed......and then tripped over the Commodor 64.

  13. Re:Really? on New Copy Protection to Make Playing DVDs on a PC Difficult · · Score: 1

    Yes but they only retain any value if they are left in the original packaging. And lets face it at this rate that value can only fall.

  14. Re:Farscape is quality sci-fi on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but really bad attitudes.

  15. Re:Farscape... The best.. on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 1

    For most of the life of Red Dwarf there were only 4 main characters.
    Hell I guess what I'm trying to say is I always identified with Lister.
    Beer milkshakes.
    Potato Crisp Sandwiches.
    Vindaloo so hot it hurts.
    Flossing my teeth with the E-String of my guitar.
    And socks that show up on scanners as alien life forms.

  16. Re:It's not like 9 to disrepect a sci fi. on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 1

    You must remember the marvelous job that Nine did with B5 when one week Ivonova (I'm sorry die hard fans, I just don't know how to spell it) had her leg in plaster then the next it was off and then the episode when she actually broke it. The fact is the people who organize the programming don't realize that there is some continuity to most sci-fi shows and that to break it up and show episodes out of sequence just drives the big fans nuts.
    At least they are going to show the last two ST:TNG movies this Saturday from 8:30 EST.

  17. Does any one know? on Farscape Signs for 2 More Years · · Score: 1

    Is Farscape going to still be produced in Australia? Are the commercial networks going to run it here?

  18. Crypto the new superweapon on Philip Zimmermann and 'Guilt' Over PGP · · Score: 1

    How much of the damage at the WTC and the Pentagon was actually caused by Crypto? How many human live did it take? Oh yes, NONE!

    It seems that the whole issue has been blown way of course.

    It's not about who can encrypt a message, but wether or not the government can read it with or without your consent.

    Big Brother is still watching.

  19. Re:who is the real terrorist on More On Tragedy · · Score: 1

    People cannot justify injustices of the past by blowing up inocent people in the present.

    There were Arabic and Palestinian people working in those buildings as well. Men and women who have families and friends who all live in the U.S and have gotten along fine so far without feeling the need to blow somthing up as a political or religous statment

    People (Note I said people and not just Arabs or Palestinians) that are living in other countries are on the whole happy living in those countries and try to get along with their neighbors.

    The brainwashed uniformed retoric you spewed out shows that you have no real opinion of your own.

    Get a life.

  20. Re:This won't be Vietnam on More On Tragedy · · Score: 1

    The Mujahideen had the complete support of the population when they were fighting to drive Russia out of Afghanistan in the first place.

    As the President said "We will make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbour them"

    Normally I wouldn't agree with this but as long as we sit on our hands and preach love, peace and happiness to the people who are willing to die in order to kill as many Americans as possible then it will continue to happen.

    We must do, what we must do in order to stop the religious nuts from killing more people because some-one thought god would like it if they killed as many people as possible who didn't agree with their point of view.

  21. Re:Remain rational for months - no witchhunts on Our New Pearl Harbor · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatley it may not be that easy. There will be a hell of a lot of people screaming for some kind of response.

    There will be a lot of uninformed voters who will be out for blood. The politicians will have to be seen to act or they will be seen to do nothing. We can but hope we dont come to regret anything that they may chose to do in response.

    No-one knows for sure who did it, lashing out blindly will not help the injured or bring back the dead.

  22. Re:Where are these hackers?? on Hollywood and Hackers · · Score: 1

    Well I have to admit that whilst 95% of the hacking done is puerile, what about the few dedicated hackers who spend time looking for information for information's sake. It's not just the ability to access some encrypted data, saving little Timmy's life by ripping off a bank or trashing a few crappy websites (The decent ones can keep the wannabes out). Hacking is delving deep into the web, working your way past security and finding information. The reasons as to why you would want to do this, depends on the hacker. Some do it because they believe that we should have access to all data on the web, others do it to try to prove or disprove conspiracy theories. The point I am trying to make is that its all about access to information, who has it, who wants it & who doesn't want anyone else have it.

    There are always going to be hackers, as long as there are computers. Where they are is irrelevent, on the web you can go anywhere from anywhere, how good they are defines how much they can do. If Hollywood want to blow it all out of proportion then bully for them, If you pay to see the movies then you are telling them, they are providing a story you want to see.

    As Hollywood would say "Hack The Planet"
