  1. Re:No thanks! on BD+ Successfully Resealed · · Score: 1

    So ok, no movie industry then, just buy books, oh, thats right, you dont buuy anything because all content should be free and all consumers should be able to get as much as they want and share as much as they want with no regard for the original content creator, yeah thats it, DMCA be damned!!!

    Back into your hole shill!

  2. Stick with the classics on Gadgets For a Budding Geek? · · Score: 2, Informative

    For a young geek nothing inspires more than:

    - BB gun
    - can of gasoline
    - old plastic models
    - illegal fireworks
    - magnifying glass
    - bag of army men
    - hot wheels
    - pile of bricks

  3. Re:I prefer another form of protest on Two New Class-Action Suits Against EA Over DRM · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For example, I don't think the RA3 devs had ANYTHING to do with the SecuROM crap, yet by not buying their games you essentially cut off their fundings. If the studio disappears because of it, we'll all be crying because yet another good PC developer will have bitten the dust.

    Then developers will learn not to work for studios that sign on with distributors that use DRM. Pain is the best teacher.

  4. Re:Hope it works out for you on Simulations Predict Where We Can Find Dark Matter · · Score: 1

    I wonder if dark matter to them is like a Ubuntu release to most of us?

    Actually it's more like fudge.

    Please be sure to speak for yourself only and not assume that "everyone" does it.

    Ok, everyone except you. Now take your treat and get back to work obedient citizen.

  6. Re:Define "Winning" on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the War · · Score: 1

    You do realize that we had a grand total of SIX combat deaths in all of Iraq in all of September, yes?

    Of course you're not counting Iraqi deaths, they are humans too and many of them children. I'm not trying to downplay the impact of a military death but these are well trained, well fed volunteers who knew the risk when they signed up. The average Iraqi dies in his home in the town he grew up in, no one ever seems to talk about them.

  7. Re:the tubes on A Look At Google's Newest Data Center · · Score: 1

    look at all the tubes coming out of it

    And they are right next to the truck loading docks. Is this where the data is transfered from the trucks to the tubes?

    But extra points for trying to work in an anti-American jab.

    I'm American so it's allowed.

    How, pray tell, did cyanobacteria consume carbon dioxide and release nitrogen? Biological creatures (that we know of) do not perform fission or fusion.

    From an article at MIT:"Many Proterozoic oil deposits are attributed to the activity of cyanobacteria. They are also important providers of nitrogen fertilizer in the cultivation of rice and beans. The cyanobacteria have also been tremendously important in shaping the course of evolution and ecological change throughout earth's history. The oxygen atmosphere that we depend on was generated by numerous cyanobacteria during the Archaean and Proterozoic Eras. Before that time, the atmosphere had a very different chemistry, unsuitable for life as we know it today."

    Chill out, we all know what he meant.

    Seriously, how brain damaged do you have to be to buy into such bullshit?

    The current typical American pre-programmed brain will do just fine and that's exactly who this stuff is aimed at.

    That door must be brutal, what with the slivers and all.

    Especially if it comes out sideways. Ouch!

    How could be this done? How could he connect to his laptop without knowing the IP address?

    One word, DynDNS.

    Oh, I see what they're up to! These "Roman Pot Stations" are just another secretive way for scientists to get high.

    This is what happens when you have nanny state liberals in office.

    I dare you to say that to Arnold in person.

    Speaking of spam, there seems to be a flood of moderator spam tagging everyone as troll today, I sure would like to take them to court.

  18. Re:Try these on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    A great list and I would like to add one the almost no one has read:

    The Spaceship Under the Apple Tree - Louis Slobodkin

    This is the book that started me on sci-fi when I was around 7, unfortunately it is out of print and very hard to find but it's an excellent science fiction yarn for children.

  19. Re:Slaughterhouse Cases on PC Repair In Texas Now Requires a PI License · · Score: 1

    Even if say, it's for a child-pornography case. "Your evidence was siezed improperly, sorry, but it's excluded, next time do things the right way!"

    If that's the reason then wouldn't they have to license anyone who has access to personal property such as plumbers and valet attendants?

    Sounds like just another way of skirting around the fourth amendment that our ruling class has gotten so very good at. How much you want to bet that if this is implemented then Texas techs would be 'required' to submit a report of anything suspicious that they find whether they want to or not?

  20. Re:Somewhat misleading... on UK Approves Human-Pig Embryo Stem-Cell Harvest · · Score: 3, Informative

    ...but the embryos themselves are only considered to be 99.9% human, and 0.1% animal.

    Aren't humans also animals?

  21. Re:Ah, sigh on NASA to Launch Solar Sail · · Score: 1

    Which is either solar (cutting into your available area for a sail and becoming increasingly infeasible when you get away from the sun) or nuclear (which means enormously heavy: RTGs are many kg per Watt and a full-blown reactor weighs tons before you've generated the first Watt).

    Or you can make the solar sail out of a flexible solar panel and kill two birds with one stone.

  22. Re:monoculture is a problem on Bye Bye Bananas — the Return of Panama Disease · · Score: 1

    I don't know about other banannas, but Wonderbread (and it's copy-cats) is a bland shadow of what bread should be. Which was exactly the point he intended to make.

    Along those lines, Obama is the *first* viable presidential candidate that is not a boomer or a product of the WWII era. (McCain is approximately the last viable WWII era candidate). Daddy Bush was the last WWII era pres. McCain was 10 years old during that war, he is Vietnam era. Obama was born in 1961, boomers were born between 1946-1964 so that would make him a boomer.

    in a related event, god said: thou shalt not steal.

    Law are meant to keeps law abiding citizens abiding. Bzzzt, wrong. Laws are meant to protect corporate and government interests.

    Besides that god also said to kill anyone caught working on the sabbath. Should that law also be implemented?
