    I think he was saying why buy a cheap photo editor (For those who cant afford Phtoshop) when you can pwn the the best.

    I'm sorry but if I was standing in front of a T-Rex , but running directly to the sh1tter would be the first on my list of things to do. It would have nothing to do with hiding.

  3. Re:That is a kind of malware on Adobe Acrobat Toolbar Worse than Malware? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it malware unless it does something malicious to your machine. I would just call it lousy software with poor removal tools.

  6. Re:Search Engines just Advertising Now? on A Search Engine Manipulator's Tale · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I find that I can still do the "I'm feeling lucky" (which just takes you automagicly to the first result) and get what I want, I guess part of that is usinga a descriptive search. Such as lyrics "otherside" for example. I don't think it's too bad yet.

  7. Re:Don't wory about it yet... on Lab-Made Fireball May Be a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    I had a professor for a cosmology class that worked at the Fermi lab and he said that another scientist that used to work their went a bit off the deep end and now protests outside saying that they would eventually make a black hole and it would suck us all in. Professor Prosper made the story much more funny. It helped that he had a British accent.

    I think one of us is missing the point. I think from what I understand that this will only affect people who use VoIP. Course I could be wrong. If it only effacting poeple like vonage users I don't think the telcos will be doing much to fix this. Thinking further it will be like spam in taht there probably wont be a quick and easy fix.

  13. Re:French Court: "Surrender Now" on Publishing Exploit Code Ruled Illegal In France · · Score: 1

    A strange question. People who use these closed-source products (aka "the customers") would certainly be interested in knowing the true capabilities (or lack thereof) of the software they bought. People who are thinking about purchasing that software would be interested as well.
    I think you give too much credit to the consumer. Maybe you were talking about enterprise products. You can preach to home users all you want about how many security holes IE has in it and look how many still use it. I don't think as many people care as your or I would hope.

  14. Re:Future viability in question? on Gnome 2.10 Released · · Score: 1

    I was going to get mad because every time gnome or KDE have a release some one always starts a thread about how the other is better. Then I wondered if it is inevitable should I really get upset with the starter of the thread. Then I thought more deeply if it is inevitable why does any one start it at all...

    What do I use. The world may never know.

  15. Re:The enemy of my friend on "Enemies of Linux" Trying to Undermine OS? · · Score: 1

    I wish the US would have thought that way a few decadeds ago. I can't help but think that would have stopped a lot of problems before they started. IMHO

    Unless the episode sucks. I mean sucks like a hover upright. Then it might hurt ratings

  17. Re:Is this supposed to be bad? on UK Record Industry Starts Suing Filesharers · · Score: 1

    It is exactly what people here wanetd way back when, but people often ask for something they really don't want. Like you, I think that the idea of fair use ought to be extended. Thats what people should have been demanding since the begining.

    I really don't care though. I don't use p2p servies. I use iTunes.

  18. Re:Age is the key on Views on Violence in Video Games · · Score: 1

    Perhaps. Some people are shitty parents but I think society has a responsibility to make up for the lack of parenting by placing restrictions on all youths. Unless you suggest that government step in and say who can and can not have children. I think that would go over worse that putting limitations on what children have access to. We as society limit a great deal of things children can and can not do based solely on age. I don't think and society agrees or at least the laws agree with me that a minor should not be allowed to purchase alcohol, or has to go to school, or can not work more than x hours a week. Some laws are a little more controversial like curfews. Do all these laws fit all the time no. I think it's more like a best fit type situation or it fits most of the time.
    The phrase don't toss the child out with the bath water comes to mind. If you know you are going to have bad parents that would let their children do anything they want to then society has to step in and make rules for all children.

    If the embryo had any choice in the mater I'd bet it would opt to live. Sacrifice for the betterment of humanity isn't granted by virtue of being able to think or reason. Look how many people don't donate their organs to others once they die or donate their body to science. In these two cases they aren't even going to use them anymore. In the embryo's case the embryo could use them.

    Not that I have any moral objections to any of this, I'm just thinning aloud about humanity.
