  1. Re:Learn to dance on Where Does a Geek Find a Social Life? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Go to a dance instructor. You've got the money. Pay for lessons. Then go to group dance lessons. Meet people there and then get groups going to dance clubs.

    All your problems will disappear.

    I have to confirm that this is a really good idea. As the very least you will learn to be comfortable around girls. *Attractive* girls, since this is the kind of girls that mostly go to the dancing lessons. Most unattractive girls are to shy to do that. This ability alone can help you dramatically. There is a downside, though: most of the girls will be married or in the LTR, because... well, first because all attractive girls are :) You have to learn to ignore that. Second, because were they not married they wouldn't be hanging out on dancing lessons, they would go some place where they can meet single men.

    Also, you have to hang out with guys too, make a lot of new male friends. When you do that, follow the most valuable advice of social life I ever got in my life: say "yes" to every invitation. In a matter of weeks, you'll be choosing, which girl to hang out with.

  2. Re:How does Microsoft define what is 'explicit'? on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, laugh all you want, but where I work (our company does search.... kinda...) we have this position :) At least some sort of it.

  3. Re:Oh come on. on Should Undergraduates Be Taught Fortran? · · Score: 1

    Yep, real men use ADA

    I totally agree. However, since we are geeks here, I'd say that almost any other woman will do.

  4. Re:Prime Time Commercial on Has Bing Already Overtaken Yahoo? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yahoo might be worried, but I don't think Google cares... at this point it's a race for second place.

    I wouldn't be so sure.

    I tried Bing and it is quite good. It beats Google in many of my "usual" searches.

  5. Re:Adult games? on Microsoft Debuts Full-Body Controller-less Gaming At E3 · · Score: 1

    Been waiting for this for a long long time.

    However I'll be more interested in a sexual controller for normal games. Like, for example, using girl's boobs to move Mario left or right -- now, that would be awesome!

  6. Re:Now If We Could Just Get ... on Dell Indicates Windows 7 Pricing Will Be Higher · · Score: 1

    Most desktop users couldn't install Windows even if the alternative were to be blinded by a burning penis.

    I find your torturing techniques ... intriguing. Where can I subscribe to your newsletter?

  7. Re:This should be a lesson... on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    May be they are trying to hide something and use this attack as an excuse?

  8. Re:Is there possibly anything we can do? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    That said, if they don't win an appeal and paying is the only option to help these guys out, I will do this gladly.

  9. Re:Is there possibly anything we can do? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That would mean, that we acknowledge the fine as just and appropriate, but I, personally, don't.

  10. Is there possibly anything we can do? on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 2, Interesting

    OK, now I'm really, really pissed off!!!

    But the real question is: what can I do? What can *we* do?

  11. Re:Screwed? on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, IE will keep them employed for at least several years more.

    BTW, in Russian language there *is* a word for this profession: HTML-verstal'shik. I always find it kinda funny, that it can't be translated to English.

    Which means he is Bill Gates!

  14. Re:But without copyright protections... on So Amazing, So Illegal · · Score: 1

    That would mean that they are much more stupid than we are and so deserve to die anyway.

  15. Re:if you think it's over... on Pirate Bay Day 3 — Defense Requests Dismissal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is nothing immoral about porn or prostitution as long as it's voluntary. ?

    Well, there is nothing immoral about sharing some of your stuff with other people, especially, if you are not losing anything.

  16. Re:This was bound to happen. on Satellites Collide In Orbit · · Score: 1

    I thought your joke sounds too... well, Russian. Then I noticed your username, which explains it.

  17. Re:lowering the expectations on Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I live in Russia and I'm afraid I have something to do with it...

  18. Re:not surprising on Is It Windows 7, Or KDE 4? · · Score: 1

    Well, for basic stuff like resize/crop/simple retouch I think it is still pretty easy. More complex stuff requires learning (read: googling) anyway, so not a problem.

  19. Re:not surprising on Is It Windows 7, Or KDE 4? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Someone who just needs to run a browser and word processor probably can't tell Windows 7 from KDE. Someone who needs to configure and administrate systems for an organisation certainly will.

    True.

    I actually had a long argument with my SO about Linux vs. Windows issue. My main point was this: whenever she experiences any trouble she still complains to me, and for me it is much easier to deal with Linux. So she gave it a try and it all went OK to her own surprise, she had no troubles using FF, Gimp and Pidgin.

  20. Re:Just a minor note on New Sidekick Will Run NetBSD, Not Windows CE · · Score: 1

    It claims that's running Linux to this day, which I know for a fact is not true.

    If Netcraft says it, it is true by the very definition of truth!

  21. Re:Quick! Stop all forms of communication! on Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Oh, come on people! Nobody ever suggested (at least, in this article) to shut down any social network, your sarcasm isn't apt here.

  22. Re:Red herring on Researcher Says Social Networks Link Terrorists · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think that the person who commits suicide, killing many innocent people in the process is much *more* stupid than that.

  23. Not just power issue on Five PC Power Myths Debunked · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you spend 10 mins per day turning you pc on and setting up your work environment, and 5 mins closing everything, the cost of your time spent on this task will negate $25 saved ten times.
