  1. Re:Hmmm on Enigma · · Score: 1

    The code breakers at Betchley Park didnt even know what they going to work at when they were interviewed. Some were asked to complete crosswords in interviews.

  2. This film is like rewriting the life of JFK.. on Enigma · · Score: 1
    ...and making him a commie pheadophiliac homosexual.

    A bad movie trying to solely cash in and not honour the actual people it pretends to.

    And to my knowledge it didnt do well here in the UK either.

  3. Re:For those in the UK with digital TV on Mashed-Up Music · · Score: 1
    That nirvana/child one is shit.

    Sounds exactly like a female wigger singing at a party.

  4. The site is already down.... on The Story of "Nadine" · · Score: 1
    Cant access anything.

    it couldnt be /.ed so soon?

  5. Id like to see him try to stor the elements.... on Periodic Table Table · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ..... whose half life is measured in seconds. The heavy artifical ones.

  6. Its a pity.... on Periodic Table Table · · Score: 1, Redundant
    ...he doesnt describe how he plans to store the materials he already has for it.

    And wouldnt it be mostly simply blocks of glass with invisible gas inside?

  7. Re:JAMES DOOHAN IS DYING on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 1

    I thought he was scottish.

  8. Re:Tried to watch a full episode of Enterprise? on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 1
    No amount of vulcan sexual tension can EVER make that show other than red necks in SPAAAAAACCCCCEEEEE.

    I thought they couldnt do much worse than Voyager but they did. By orders of magnitude.

  9. Quick someone make us... on Freespace 2 Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    ...a Babylon 5 mod. Freespace is after all a B5 clone.

  10. Re:Oh great on Microsoft Eyes UK Digital TV Provider · · Score: 1

    NTL do some digital TV coverage too. But I think they just buy the rights of Murdoch.

  11. ITV Digital on Microsoft Eyes UK Digital TV Provider · · Score: 2, Interesting
    is frankly crap and I dont see how M$ will benefit from it.

    ITV had already a dwindling population of subscribers and now that the bad PR of current people will not flock back.

    And the second biggest money maker (after drugs) for the UVF and IRA in Northern Ireland was too sell chipped ITV decoders.

  12. Re:his point is flawed... on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1
    I can get pictures of the mona lisa anywhere. From smaller versions on postcards to jpegd images on the net. I can get someone to copy it for me, brush stroke by brush stroke.

    Yet the original is still priceless, and my exact copy is still worthless.

  13. Re:his point is flawed... on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1

    I see we think alike.

  14. Elvis Costello doesnt know his analogies on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 1
    It should be:

    Someone bringing in the wood and making an exact duplicate of his chair and taking the duplicate away. Costello still retains the original chair.

    He cant sing, he cant get analogies right. No wonder hes not making any money.

  15. Re:AOL Anime on Blade Director to Adapt 'Akira' For Western Audiences · · Score: 1

    How true. Why does the west only get the crap stuff?

  16. Re:Here's a scary thought- on Blade Director to Adapt 'Akira' For Western Audiences · · Score: 1

    I laughed my way though that film. Soooooooooooooo bad.

  17. I can just see it now.. on Blade Director to Adapt 'Akira' For Western Audiences · · Score: 1
    ...a love interest added to get the women in, more explosions to get the men in, and the story rewritten so it occurs in neo-LA.

    Hollywood - just recycling ideas.

  18. What would Bonzai Buddy be classed as then? on Should Virus Distribution be Illegal? · · Score: 1

    Its designed to infect your computer, cant uninstall it, and takes over your computer and executes unwanted code. This is malicious no matter how you define it.

  19. Re:Maybe in the US... on Life on The Net in 2004 · · Score: 1

    The UK is not europe. Tony Blair maybe lick Bushes ass at the minute but most of europe isnt so friendly.

  20. Maybe in the US... on Life on The Net in 2004 · · Score: 1
    ..where your laws and culture are increasedly determined by companies and corporations that scenario might happen, but that will never occur outside it.

    Once a country catches on to the fact that it could rake in billions of revenue by allowing freedom on the net it will do it.

    Take this SSSCA (cant remember exact sp) bill thats currently going through your government. That in no way in hell would even get a look at in europe, russia or asia for that matter.

    If the US keeps restricting freedom on the net your companies and users are going to look externally for it services.

  21. So its a trade off against computation? on JPEG2000 Coming Soon · · Score: 1
    I cant get the pdf information to load.

    So it is basically a shit more 64x64 subimages? Or is it 128x128 now?

  22. Weird +/- error tolerance on NASA's HETE Coming Down · · Score: 1
    Yesterday I read that an asteriod had a 1 in 300 chance of hitting earth in [b]900[/b] years time.

    Yet they cant determine how soon that satellite is going to hit which is exponentially sooner.

  23. Isn't a Disney sense of humour.... on Square and Disney Team Up for Kingdom Hearts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ....not funny at all? Bland 'family' entertainment wih the odd fart joke thrown in?

  24. Sounds fishy to me on One-Time Pad Encryption With No Pad? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "We've found an electronic way of handling those complex keys, and of regenerating them dynamically so that lists of keys don't have to be stored anywhere," Mr. Kassam said. Its still going to be a matter of cracking what equations make the keys. And seeing everyone who uses these equations once someone has a good deal of these, everyones security is fux0red.

  25. The first five minutes of the first on Review: Blade II - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    made that film good. Any similar stuff in the second?
