  1. Right to privacy. on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 5, Funny

    What a man and a woman... and two dwarves, a donky and a chicken. Do in the privacy of their own home, using thousand island dressing at times, is their own, and the people who pay to watch, buisness.

  2. Re:Still I really dont like it. on Misconceptions About the GPL · · Score: 1

    "The GPL is totally irrelevant to the end user. Now it does matter to other developers, but in all honesty the actual user of a project could give a damn."

    The end user of source code are other devlopers...

  3. So only $245,000? on Company to Pay for Election Problems · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Only $245,000 to rig an election? Sounds cheap to me.

  4. Friendster making a comback... on Friendster Back from the Dead? · · Score: 1

    Friendster making a comback, but so are discos.

  5. Re:Umm 91.45 Got Released Today on NVIDIA Do-It-Yourself Quad SLI Launched · · Score: 1

    "33MB? Ouch, are all the Windows drivers that bloated?"

    No, they're that "Feature Packed"!

  6. Re:All Your Cars Are Belong To Us on Hoboken, NJ vs. Giant Parking Robot · · Score: 1
    Its good design. You need safe gaurds like this in case your customers try to renege on their contract.

    Stop paying your web hosting provider? No more web page. This is not that diferent.

  7. Men & Mice on CEO Shawn Hogan Takes on MPAA · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I allways liked the DNS servers that his company sells. May have to see about getting a current copy for my office.

    Or wait, I used to have a license. So I can just bittorrent a new copy, right? Kidding of course.

  8. Simpsons quote: on HOPE Speaker Rombom Charged with Witness Tampering · · Score: 3, Funny

    "This reporter promises to be more trusting and less vigilant in the future."

  9. As a web app developer... on Simon Phipps on the Process of Opening Java · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've reaffirmed my commitment to stop using JAVA when ever I can. Its just no longer worth the trouble it causes. Just about anything I want to do can be done via AJAX & DHTML.

  10. In releated news... on Daily Exploit Releases Irk Both Vendors and Crooks · · Score: 2, Funny

    I feel that there's not enough being done to curb gun violence here in Oakland Ca. So I'm going to shoot one person a day, every day, for the month of July. Any reports that I'm enjoying it are exaggerations.

  11. Re:Before "the terorists win" became trendy. on The U.S.'s Net Wide For 'Terrorist' Names · · Score: 1

    Yea. Thats the ticket. In related news, mr Segal purchased my ex girlfriends lama. True story.

  12. Before "the terorists win" became trendy. on The U.S.'s Net Wide For 'Terrorist' Names · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm reminded yet again of the movie Under Seige. A rather good film about terorists attacking new york and the governments over reaction to it.

    Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard: Come on General, you've lost men, I've lost men, but you - you, you *can't* do this! What, what if they don't even want the sheik, have you considered that? What if what they really want is for us to herd our children into stadiums like we're doing? And put soldiers on the street and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the Constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General, we do that and everything we have fought, and bled, and died for is over. And they've won. They've already won!

  13. Re:Free isn't enough. on Students Skip College Music Services · · Score: 1
    I wonder how many of these students will be willing to work for free once they graduate like they expect others to. Or is it only their time thats worth money, not everyone elses?

    I seem to recall a time when ethics classes where manditory in schools. Perhaps we should revisit that?

  14. Re:Refulling issue? on BBC Tests Pre-Commercial Toshiba Fuel Cell Laptop · · Score: 1
    if you have a hard time finding a power outlet, there's just no helping you.

    I dont wander around looking for an outlet, there's three right next to my desk.

  15. Refulling issue? on BBC Tests Pre-Commercial Toshiba Fuel Cell Laptop · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Am I the only one that dosn't want to be wandering around town looking for a means to refull my notebook? The only use I can think of for these things is a flash charger for my existing battery.

  16. There are more things in heaven and earth.... on Governments, Beyond the Open Source Hype · · Score: 1
    There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

    Use the best tool for the job, regardless of philosophical ideal.

    Which isn't to say that access to an application or platforms source code isn't a consideration when looking for whats best. Likewise budget is also a concern. But do not avoid a good solution, just because you feel that all software should be "free".

  17. Re:jeez what now? on Apple Sues Creative · · Score: 1

    You mean my One Click Power State Reverser (patent pending)?

  18. Re:Does that mean... on Google in Trouble for Suggesting Illegal Software · · Score: 1
    Yup, thats more or less the case.

    Years ago i wrote a little HTML editor called Net Weasel. Thousands of downloads but not one registration. Do a quick search for it on google and all you see is cracks.

    I still get email from people asking for support on cracked copies. No one, and I mean NO ONE, has ever registered it.
  19. Simple solution. on UK Government Wants Private Encryption Keys · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just stick a computer in the corner churning out encryption keys and mailing them to the UK government all day every day untill you break their database.

  20. Um, 9/12? on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    So they release a tape toquell the conspiracy theorists, but the footage dosn't realy show anything and has the time/date stamp of the day after the attack?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/1861977. stm

    I somehow doubt this will resolve anything.

  21. I call it... The Monroe Box! on Baby Meets Big Brother For Science · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Monroe: It's a special isolation chamber. The subject pulls levers to receive food and water. The floor can become electrified, and showers of icy water randomly fall on the subject. I call it... The Monroe Box!
    Grampa: Uh huh. Sounds interesting. How much will it cost to build?
    Monroe: Oh, that's the beauty part! It's already built! I need the money to buy a baby to raise in the box until the age of thirty.
    Grampa: What are you trying to prove?
    Monroe: Well, my theory is that the subject will be socially maladjusted and will harbor a deep resentment towards me.
    Grampa: Mm. Interesting.

  22. Re:2D + shading != 3D on Mapping a Path For the 3D Web · · Score: 1

    I used VRML with a bank of SGI reality engines and a full stereoscopic head mounted display and data gloves. Was as 3D as your going to get. In fact, most 3D games can support a stereoscopic viewing mode, the days of so called 2.5D rendering (think doom) are long gone.

  23. Ten years huh? on Mapping a Path For the 3D Web · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ten years ago i was working in the virtual reality field. People swore we would have a 3D web in ten years ten years ago. Anyone remember VRML?

  24. Present a choice? on Microsoft's IE7 Search Box Bugs Google · · Score: 1
