  1. Re:Several interesting things to point out... on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Fortunately there are still vast quantities of 18+ yr olds who are not 'grown-ups'.

  2. Re:Another Duplicate.... on Second Hand Hard Discs Reveal Secrets · · Score: 0, Funny

    There does seem to be rather a lot of tripe posted here.

  3. Re:rm -rf / ? on Brain Surgery Robot Running Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they'd have to be an OB/GYN to have root.

  4. Re:Trying to prohibit backwards engineering? on Lexmark Invokes DMCA in Toner Suit · · Score: 2

    There's a subtle yet important difference between 'backward engineering' and 'reverse engineering' =)

  5. Re:H. P. Lovecraft and J. R. R. Tolkien: Similarit on Lord of the Rings, as Written By Everyone Else · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be Silmarillionarities?

  6. Re:Cy Guy's Law on Moore's Law Disputed · · Score: 2

    And the retarded moderators will randomly pick one to grant Funny status to, and one to slow-roast over a Troll-Flame.

    Twice! In a 15 minute period! Uphill! Both ways!

  7. Waitaminnit on Has AOL Lost Its Sex Drive? · · Score: 1, Troll

    This isn't a dupe! We're overdue for one... damn, you guys can't even get your screwups right.

  8. Re:Damned if you do... on U.S. Proposes Centralized Internet Surveillance · · Score: 2

    Eh. Doubtful this will actually happen in any useful capacity anyway.

    But it is kinda funny how people believe that the US Government and its employees are at the same time frighteningly incompetent and stupid, but also evil masterminds of Illuminati proportions, depending on what's being discussed at the moment.

  9. Re:I'll give you more information.. on Sony, Matsushita Back Linux For Consumer Goods · · Score: 2

    Well, perhaps they should buy mice with scroll wheels on them instead of blinky distracting lights or buttons shaped like boobies.

  10. Re:This has to be a joke on Sony, Matsushita Back Linux For Consumer Goods · · Score: 2

    This just may be the earliest ever planning for an April Fool's Day prank..

  11. Re:Real Message... on Whisper Heard From Pioneer 10 · · Score: 2

    "EXTERMINATE!! EXTERMINATE!!"

  12. Re:Since.. on Tech's Answer To Big Brotherism · · Score: 1

    No, retard. I'm not talking about shooting all cops that knock on my door. Or any other situation but self-defense. Political and physical.

    Ya know, for all you wankers screaming about "1984" and how Bush and crew are working up the next Reich, you get all squeamish and pussified when someone actually starts talking about resisting that sort of scenario. Because, in the end, -->when all else fails--, when your peaceful resistance fails, it *would* come down to armed resistance.

    And no, again, I'm not talking about shooting cops at random. Your idea of 'authorities' obviously stops at the corner PD. It's a little bit bigger concept than that. If you can't see that, then you've got some things to learn about world history.

    But thanks for overreacting and getting hysterical anyway. It was a fun read.

  13. Re:Big Brother is More Than That on Tech's Answer To Big Brotherism · · Score: 2

    Really? McDonalds dictates what you can and can't eat? How do they do that exactly? And how do they punish people who refuse to follow their demands? With guns? Riot gear? Jail time?

    You must have a cast-iron stomach and paper-thin willpower.

    (but other than that bit o silly, you've got very good points...)

  14. Since.. on Tech's Answer To Big Brotherism · · Score: 0, Troll

    Since a few people have always resisted attacks against the Second Amendment.

    I have three 'votes' on what the authorities ultimately can and can't do: HK93, Mauser P.08, and Enfield #1 mk3. I hope the day never comes that it becomes necessary to cast those votes, but it's always good to be prepared.

    How about you?

  15. Re:The worst of the bunch? on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 1

    Now that's just mean..

  16. you're using their bad logic on Fast CD-R Drives Make For Twice the Piracy · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ooo, and cars, don't forget cars - after all, it's possible to commit a crime with a car. Add baseball bats to your list too. And chainsaws. And axes. And duct tape. And knives. And pencils. And hammers. And piano wire. And cement. And syringes. And ...

    Guns don't kill people any more than spoons make Rosie O'Donnell fat.

  17. Re:The worst of the bunch? on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 4, Funny

    There was a fifth one?

  18. Re:Too bad on Critics Pan Nemesis · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's easy to remember:

    Think about Star Trek V. Shudder. There ya go.

  19. Re:FYI on World's First Tree-sitting Weblog · · Score: 2

    It's ok to let the magic smoke out of that one!

  20. Re:Money laundering? on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 2

    For paying the salaries of your flunkies, who might not be able to otherwise accept large chunks of sudden income without attracting the attention of various law enforcement agencies.

    Being able to say they 'earned' it from a video game (not even gambling!) has got to be a major plus.

    Yeah, there's other simpler ways of transferring money if you really want to, this game just seems to give it a certain no-questions-asked legitimacy.

  21. I love morons who think it's all the govt's fault on Motorcyclists To Get Wearable Airbags · · Score: 2

    Talk to the company about it - they're the ones that are declining to sell them. The fact that the DOT doesn't have standards for it is irrelevant.

    All that means is that the company is afraid of putting out a product that might not spec up in the future. Not that there's a government conspiracy to continue to let idiots die on dangerous vehicles.

  22. Money laundering? on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sounds like a great way to launder large amounts of cash. Rocco spends a ton of money in-game from a non-extraditable country, and 'sells' it all to Vinnie's character, who cashes out, happily legal and flush.

  23. AWRIGHT! on New Mad Max Film · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, and he shoots Costner in the head with his shotgun pistol! I'd pay to see that!

  24. Re:not a half bad idea... on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 2

    so they'd have to learn to talk faster.. I don't see a problem with limiting it to a penny a second =)

  25. Re:Spam the spammer on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 2

    But to a great many people, AOL *is* 'the Internet'.. so if excess snail mail causes an AOL cd to be delivered later than it would have been, wouldn't that be a case of 'slowing down the internet'? =)
