  6. Re:ITS NOT STEALING!!!111ELEVEN!! on RIAA File-Sharing Lawsuits Top 10,000 People Sued · · Score: 1

    Phish for example, allowed free copying of any concert recoding and even sold "taping tickets". They never made alot of money off records nor did they ever have a pop single. They kept their tickets under $50 to"Do I encourage downloading my bands songs? YES! then more people would PAY to get into the very end and still were one of the top grossing concert acts of 2004 with 10 shows.... You don't need the RIAA to get rich off music.

  9. Re:Pfh, languages on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 1

    Its just an arbitrary way of expressing the idea, ever heard of a synonym? The idea in Esperanto is not to replace native languages, but instead to supplement them as to facilitate world communication. The language is designed to be easily learned and understood, a vocabulary of 1000 a sufficient base. There are only 16 rules of grammar, all verbs are regular, all nouns are made plural in the same way, etc. Alas, I have forgotton most of my Esperanto I learned in High School.

  10. Re:Pfh, languages on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 1

    Its intersting because the language that he described sounds very similar to Esperanto which is one of the languages that he speaks. in Esperanto you have structues like the article describes, e.g. A Cow == Bovo A Barn == A Place for Cows - Bovejo

    I'm a gay man who likes to watch sports and found the joke to be rather whimsical.

    Whats halrious is that Queen, headed by the flamboyantly gay Freddy Mercury, wrote lots of the songs that you hear at football games e.g. "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions..."

  18. The Floor is open at the Mueseum on New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination · · Score: 1
    There's a reason they have the assassin's floor blocked off in the Assassination Museum--as Bill Hicks said, they didn't want thousands of American tourists going up there each year, pointing out the window, and realizing "There's no fucking way!"


    I'm in Dallas on Business and I went to Dealy plazy yesterday, the Mueseum is ON the 6th floor where he was shot from and in fact they have the original window on display. Its quite open...

  19. King's Quest on Humor in Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the old king's quest games - I miss the old school sierra pythonesque humor.

  20. Oh Dear God No on Flaw in Microsoft JPEG Parsing · · Score: 1

    This is bad...Very bad... I usually am not an alamist, just keep things up to date and everything will work out. This allows some many routes of exploitation - just wait for the script kiddies to work their magic.

  21. Re:Sick of gmail on A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries · · Score: 1

    But it does have some revolutionary features to it - they've tried to change the way you store and manage your email. They've replaced folders with labels, archiving, and threading - not to mention the spam filtering is top notch and the interface is splendid.

  22. Re:Heh. on Hamster-Powered Night Light · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Right...I like this quote from that link:
    The reality has been very different. Along with progress, scientific advance brought environmental devastation and the potential to eliminate human life. Atheistic regimes dominating a huge proportion of the globe created new forms of tyranny (including mind control) and executed unprecedented millions.


    Ever see that old George Carlin routine about how god has been one of the leading killers of man throughout the ages?

  24. Re:I didn't RTFA on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 1

    No, I understood this perfectly. The statement I had a problem with was

    Thus it has no prime factors, and is prime

    This is not necessarily true, when you multiply all the factors together it can be composite but since it must have prime factors, they must be larger than the one you assumed was largest.

    The original poster states that the number generated is prime which is wrong.

  25. Re:I didn't RTFA on There Are Infinitely Many Prime Twins · · Score: 1
    It can be demonstrated that there are infinite primes, though, by saying that if there were a finite set of primes, you can get a new number by multiplying all the known primes and adding one. This number divided by any of the known primes always gives a remainder of one. Thus it has no prime factors, and is prime. We would then tend to believe there are infinite twin primes, but this is not so easily proven.


    Not Quite...

    Either the number your generate is prime or it is divisible by a prime higher than the one you assumed was largest.
