  1. Re:Its too complicated. on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    nice generalization of mac users there... "mac users are stupid" yeah.. and all the windows users I had to help with things when I was tech support were not to bright either.... that must mean that windows users are stupid too.

  2. Re:Its not computing.... on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    I guess the control key is to hard your you to use then huh? especially since you need your left hand to side idle on a laptop and do nothing.

    so.... they were mostly poor... they were not the educated priest class and the rich who were responsible for the record keeping.

    try exercising that lump above your head a little.

  4. Re:Looks like somebody didn't learn how to read. on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    some representatives thinks thinks that recording a free to listen to broadcast and sharing it with family/friends on the internet is legal... thats fine, I agree... but you are claiming that you can buy music and then GIVE it to your friends and family... that is not fair use and I think you should ponder how broadcasts and music on a CD are different.

  5. Re:"Resurrection: Myth or Reality" by John S. Spon on Carbon Dating & The Shroud of Turin · · Score: 1

    like many Mythologies, there is always some basis in real events... much of the old testament for instance has archeological evidence for a lot of the major events.... but Jews were always much better at chronicling what happened to them than the Christians were.

  6. Re:Religious View vs. Scientific View on Carbon Dating & The Shroud of Turin · · Score: 1

    is it so out of the realm of belief that a religious radical who wanted to bring down the current jewish priests because he felt they had lost the path of goodness actually existed and his followers, after his death, pumped his image up and passed along his philosophy of life?

  7. Re:Bad for Science on Carbon Dating & The Shroud of Turin · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why? just because someone uses it to show that there is or is not evidence that faith in something super natural has merit does not hurt the scientific method. I mean, it either discovers that there is a god or there is not a god or we do not know.... how are any of those outcomes harmful to the scientific method?

    I think you are just an idiot.

    umm... then you have another router behind your router connected to your internet modem.

    if you have a wireless router, make sure that it is not set to be a NAT if it is connected to the router to the modem. in the case of airport... make sure you have it set to be an access point.

  13. Re:Occams razor on Simulating the Universe with a zBox · · Score: 1

    and how exactly is the definition of gravity over very long distances different? if it is, could that mean that perhaps there is some other force that is active in deep space that we do not know about because gravity is so strong here near the center of a well?

    forces do not just change behavior, when there is a change in behavior it is usually due to another force expressing itself.

  14. Re:How about neither? on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 1

    I do not know how the windows version works, but on the mac one just his the + window button when it is full size to return it to player mode and then hit it again to return it to jukebox mode.

  15. Re:intended by whom? on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    what rights have been restricted by Apple DRM?

    you sound like an anarchist (in the political realm) would sound. laws are enacted to create a framework around the rights of the people but some how those laws (and I mean good laws) have hurt your rights... but they do not restrict your actions in any way.

    I really want to know what it is you plan to do with the music that you cannot do while it is DRMed.

  16. Re:I'd BUY songs on iTunes if they were DRM free on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    you have all the bandwidth you need in sneekernet... you want archival quality of popular music then you have to get the CD (a gold master CD if you are really anal.

  20. Re:They also do things worse... on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    wtf? all of apple's drives have eject buttons they are fucking ATAPI IDE drives you buy in a store... the difference is in that you have to unmount your CD in an apple computer by clicking eject or trashing the CD... you are not serious that you actually used the paper clip in the manual opening system to open the optical drive are you? are you a fucking retard?

    that is fine... I only rip from CDs.... the only itms songs that I have are ones that my wife likes (she does not buy whole albums unless she likes the artist, and then it is a CD) and songs for the kids (my kids , 3 and 7, think it is the coolest thing to buy their favorite song from shrek or some other movie they like and make a CD with it on there.)

    one button mouse is a lowest common denominator and the UI is developed around that.. the paper-clip in the hole is used on EVERY optical drive.
