  1. The article you must read on New Clues About the Nature of Dark Energy · · Score: 2, Funny

    It seems this "dark energy" is quicker, easier and more seductive.

    I'd buy that for a dollar!

  2. Re:The Future of Computing on Nerve Cells Successfully Grown on Silicon · · Score: 0

    You are absolutely correct, Dear Sir. Industry will never exceed the speed of the 386 processor.

  3. Woo HTML finally makes it's way to kernel modules on Migrating Device Drivers to the 2.6 Kernel · · Score: 2, Funny

    #include img src="/files/misc/lt.gif">linux/module.h>

    This makes us visually oriented people cheer! No more plain text in code, now images!

    When can we see flash intros in `make modules`?

  4. Re:X again on X.org and XFree86 Reform · · Score: 0

    I can't seriously think of any reason why you'd actually want to switch back and forth between refresh rates in normal PC usage. That said it most likely can be done using the RnR extension, which allows you to change resolution on the fly (another pointless Windows concept).

    When it's a feature that is in MS Windows and not in X, it's "pointless" but there are still lots and lots of little used extentions in X which make it better than MS Win? If changing ANY configuration issues in ANY hardware plugged to your computer is easy, I fail to see how this could possibly be a bad thing, ever.

  5. Re:You are factually wrong on X.org and XFree86 Reform · · Score: 0

    Yes indeed, and that's whats wrong. This isn't cut and replace. This is cut, cut, paste. This is putting the carriage infront of the horse. You should be able to replace text with your paste, and with the current method this is impossible.

  6. Re:Of course you're 16 on CRIA Prepares To Sue P2P Copyright Violators · · Score: 0

    If people didn't pirate the fuck out of every new album, maybe labels would be more willing to shell out money on the riskier acts.

    Actually, they already are. And have been. Most of the money spent by the recording labels go to artists and albums that don't sell so well. When they find a chicken that lays golden eggs they pump it for what ever it's worth. I hardly think piratism and illegal sharing is the cause of money loss for the recording industry, as the most shared songs are always the ones that pump the money. People still buy lots and lots of the same CDs they download. The artists that didn't make it in the charts won't make it in Kazaa either.

  7. Re:Three words for Canadian CD-R/RW buyers on CRIA Prepares To Sue P2P Copyright Violators · · Score: 0

    Yes, it would be resonable to expect that. Unfortunately, this only applies to fair use, which is already allowed. So it's a tax for allowing people to do lawful things. Sharing music with your friends or family members is allowed, but sharing it with hundreds or thousands of strangers via internet isn't.

  8. Clone the voters? on U.N. Delays Debate on Cloning · · Score: 0

    Can't we just clone the ones that voted 'yes'?

  9. Darn darn darn on Scientists Freeze Pulse Of Light · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why were there no pictures of this stopped light? .. oh wait

  10. Re:local root != remote root on More Info on Debian.org Security Breach · · Score: 1, Insightful

    You're missing parent's point entirely. Local exploit becomes a remote exploit becouse of user stupidity. You can't trust your users to keep their accounts safe.

  11. Pusher robot? on Segway-Based Robot Opens Doors · · Score: 0

    Lowtax has already had an incident with this kind of robots.

  12. Re:Prediction on IE To Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 0

    I know this is meant as a joke, but how much do we really benefit from all those fancy-shmancy extensions like Flash or JavaScript? Indeed. Who needs those chunky gif-animations also? Moving pictures pff! bring back the good old days of newspapers and radio! Let your imagination fly! Seriously, plain text with out the "fancy-shmancy" is boring, and while it's good to have most sites that have useful information in them served like this, most sites lack information but offer something else in return. How many documentaries do you watch from the TV when compared to movies and series of little informational value?

  13. Re:22ms? on Maximum Latency for ISPs? · · Score: 0

    320x240? No wonder you had just 10fps. 320x200 with d_mipscale 3 and d_mipcap 3 is the only way to fly!
