  1. I prefer IE8 on Chrome Vs. IE 8 · · Score: 1

    so I can double the killer delete select all.

  2. bullshit on China Says It Lacks Skills To Hack US Systems · · Score: 1

    if I can hack into stuff, they can too.

  3. of course on CIA Details Its Wikipedia-Like Tools For Analysts · · Score: 1

    should a 'terrorist' gain access, they could change stuff to what they want... and if there really is a 'public' login page with no other restrictions than a uid/pwd, that's pretty damn weak already. and the government is notorious for having security problems, there's usually a story a month here on /. and i've seen more than a few on various militaries.

    of course, the CIA would expect this and maybe it's just a honeypot.

    i really don't know how people do this line of work without becoming obsessive-compulsive-paranoid.

  4. why is activism a good thing? on Games For Change Holds 5th Annual Festival · · Score: 1

    i guess i don't get it, and i certainly don't understand what any of it has to with video games.

    I think I'll let others do the activism and I'll stick to playing games...

  5. Re:what the fuck on Singapore Firm Claims Patent Breach By Virtually All Websites · · Score: 1

    world peace? really? I'm pretty sure the israeli-palestinian conflict is about a bit more than just intellectual property rights

    Do you try to pee on each other?

  7. uh, where does CmdrTaco live on Nanotubes "As Deadly as Asbestos" · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm really hoping that those medical face masks get popular again

    uh, where does CmdrTaco live that medical face masks were once a popular fashion item? I certainly don't remember that fad. Bell bottoms, I do unfortunately remember, but not medical face masks...

  8. world war 2 on Self-Healing System Applied to Aviation · · Score: 2, Informative
  9. no on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 3, Insightful

    temple of doom was too over the top but Raiders of the Lost Ark was a damn good movie. the grail one wasn't terrible either.

  10. anything provable or disprovable? on Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible · · Score: 1

    no? then don't worry about it.

  11. paper tiger? on 80% of MS Server Protocols Are Unpatented · · Score: 1

    With what microsoft has at their disposal, they could make any group of people's lives very difficult for any reason they felt like.

  12. Re:it won't help on Fujitsu HDD with AES 256-bit Encryption · · Score: 1

    heh, I was going for an obscure simpsons reference actually. but wow you're really in command of a nuke sub? thats pretty damn cool. which sub?

  13. it won't help on Fujitsu HDD with AES 256-bit Encryption · · Score: 1

    when I tie you up and beat the crap out of you until you give up your password. I can do it, I'm a big guy and I'm good with knots.

  14. This is a big deal on Microsoft "Albany" Offers Office and Security as Subscription · · Score: 1

    How will Linux compete with such a move?

  15. Re:Global Warming! on Folding@home GPU2 Beta Released, Examined · · Score: 5, Funny

    you should start a StopGlobalWarming@Home project, where spare CPU cycles go towards global warming research.

  16. Frequently Asked Questions indeed on ISO Releases OOXML FAQ · · Score: 4, Funny

    I cannot count the times people have asked me "What was the post-BRM voting on ISO/IEC 29500?"

  17. Re:Who Cares About 0.1 Stars Difference? on Programming Collective Intelligence · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Think of it more like marketing. because thats exactly what it is. They are basically showing you billboards of other movies you may have an interest in. This algorithm decides which billboards are to be shown to you. Now, if the algorithm is 0.1 percent better at deciding which billboards to show you, does that really matter to you as an individual? not at all. Does it matter to netflix across a userbase of millions of people? absolutely. hence this contest.

  18. Re:Who Cares About 0.1 Stars Difference? on Programming Collective Intelligence · · Score: 2

    because it does make a big difference when you scale the system up to millions of users.

  24. why do I feel like on Scientology's Credibility Questioned Over Video Channel · · Score: 1

    watching the videos over and over and over from many different internet connections...

    link

  25. regarding the olympics on China Unblocks the BBC (In English) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd imagine the reporters from other countries will not be censored, through the great firewall or otherwise. If so, they must have a devil of a time separating the chinese from the reporters. Anyone heard anything on this?
