  1. Oh no! Think of the dolphins! on Sonic Torpedo Defense · · Score: 1

    These people are going to die if they don't stop the torpedo. In this context, fuck aquatic sealife. It's not as if they're travelling the countryside blasting this thing because they're bored!

    Because self-righteousness is a greater opiate than Marijuana, and lets the government get away with far more things than Mary-Jane could.

    If you take away the opiates of the masses, they believe the workers should own the means of production, which in turn makes for some really really bad countries.

    Define successful. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it would take over $140,000 from each and every US citizen to pay off the debt and liabilities the US government has dug itself into, and US citizens are no better -- the official savings ratio for US citizens officially reached 0% a couple months ago.

    If I wanted to, I could look like I was doing well too, if I took out all the money anyone would hand to me. Eventually though, you've got to pay the piper.

  7. "Software engineering" isn't. on BBC Commentator Goes After Software Licensing · · Score: 1

    This guy is probably right. Whereas a chainsaw manufacturer can be sued when the chain has a design defect where it whips around and hits the users in the face, and a power company can be sued when a reactor melts down, when software fails dramatically, the company has already given itself an unprecidented disclaimer from liability.

  8. I still have to ask why. on Silent Water Cooling on the SLI · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I still have to ask: Why? Why take a subsystem which is already overpowered enough to run the very latest games at their highest detail levels at resolutions most monitors can't even display, and overclock them further?

  9. Re:It is somewhat true on Tech Geezers vs. Young Bloods · · Score: 1

    That has little do do with generations and everything to do with the fact that computer technician just isn't a skilled job in the same sense as a power engineer or Electronic Engineer. The sheer number of kids out of high school or out of some 4 week training course who can do the job just fine is proof.

    To be blunt, Through your entire diatrabe about how enlightened you are, I never really saw anything specifically regarding hardware. I saw lower level OS issues, and even a hardware/software interface issue, but not really anything hardware.

    Most kids these days think a monostable multivibrator is a sex toy (Actually, it's the opposite). In the end, does it really matter? Only if you're the sort to care about that sort of thing.

  11. Microsoft Haters? on Firefox Momentum Slows · · Score: 1

    Interesting choice of words. I suppose it could be 'Microsoft hating' to dislike getting attacked by spyware over half the internet, or to enjoy full PNG support. I bet that those users who are using the integrated popup-blocker are 'Microsoft haters' as well. Superficial people who like having skins on their browser? 'Microsoft haters'. Power users who appreciate about:Config? 'Microsoft Haters'. People on broadband who crank up the pipelining features? 'Microsoft Haters'.

    After all, any practical reasons not to use a certain piece of software fall under the umbrella of hating the company that makes it, right?

  12. I see. Tell me more! on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, because we totally believe that you came up with that arguement on your own. "Total cost of ownership" is a natural concept which simply develops in natural language, like swear words based around bodily functions.

  15. Re:Lose, lose situation for RIAA on RIAA Suit Rejected With Prejudice · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think, in a grand corporate tradition, we have to ask:

    "Is it our problem? If we tell you to go fuck yourselves, will it come back and bite us?"

    It's funny that corps want *US* to live by human morals, while *THEY* try to sue 13 year old little girls. Sorry folks, two can play this game.

  18. Re:I'm SO confused! on Eminent Domain Applied to IP Due To State Secrets · · Score: 1

    Good and evil are constructs of the human mind, and exist only within that world.

    The realm of the human mind is not real in any sense of the word. Drugs, electrodes, or any number of stimuli can cause it to alter, making the models, approximations, and abstractions which it uses to understand the real world even more inaccurate than they already are.

    Ergo, patents are neither good nor evil, because good and evil are products of a realm which does not exist. Patents themselves do not exist either, becauase they too are products of a realm which does not exist. They are nothing more than concepts which live within someones head and are about as useful as the bag of neurons which store them.

  19. Why should I care? on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 1

    People all around the world are giving up their rights in the name of fighting terrorism. I don't care anymore. It's now been conclusively proven that man is too cowardly to live in a free society, so now we're going back to the other kind.

    Steve Ballmer can yell "GIVE IT UP FOR ME!" to anyone he wants! Steve Ballmer does monkey dances all the time and doesn't even think twice about it.
