  1. idiot on NASA Scrubs Launch Due to Faulty Fuel-Tank Sensor · · Score: 0
    Idiot. I'm not playing your games. You are a freakin' toad ass, Anonymous Coward!!!

    As for this scrubbing of the launch...I thought once I wanted to be an astronaut...but holy crap, my nerves would be shot by now if I was one of the crew for this mission.

  5. the console of my youth on Nintendo Releasing Wireless Router for Revolution · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I remember that old gray box with its 8 bit graphics...way back before I imagined the Net or wireless. It ain't exactly postmodern...but more like tensi-modern. What kind of cogency does this make for me (or you)? Just sit back, have a beer and reflect on it. With all the current graphics capabilities, remember how dust might stick to the old vent grill on your old gray box from the 80s (and you most certainly would slip through those grills given adequate size reversion and see exactly what caused those dusty cartridges to flash gibberish on your screen), and how impossible filth is to imagine in the wireless age collecting on anything! (But we know it does)

    As a person who does make snap judgements of people based on stereotypes and generalizations--and who is afraid of other cultures because they are different--I find your use of the label "bigot" for such a derisive purpose to be quite offensive, you insensitive clod.

    At least something useful came out of the Stink Branch Community! Finally justifying their millings about.

  10. availability on Apple to Become Wireless Provider? · · Score: 1

    Will this start a sequence of "availability wars" like we saw in the early 80's wafer biz? I'm afraid my interest will drift off pretty fast if this does get dirty.

  11. they can opt out of this arms race on DVD-Audio's CPPM Circumvented · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I know this fight against the Man is so very romantic, but the companies can opt out of this arms race in which the hackers have the advantage. The more and more this encryption breaking is done, the industry will spend less and less money on developing new encryption schemes, and instead spend more and more on buying Senators and Representatives to pass draconian measures to prevent you from legally trying (thinking about how) to break the schemes.

  12. Re:same old crap on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 1

    Besides hiding behind their spirituality as an excuse for their weakness, which in turn was once used as an excuse by one of them to stalk one of my friends, they just annoy the piss out of me and I'm tired of it. And I see that same credulous mind set as the very same mentality that enables warlords and fascists.

  13. same old crap on Astrologer Sues NASA Over Comet Probe · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you trolling, or do you just have your head in the clouds? This is the same old, tired, generic testimonial defense of faith healing and astrology I always see. No one doubts the power of placebo in alleviating symptoms of illness, but I've never seen any well-documented results indicating that faith healing really helps anyone. Nor have I seen anything compelling about astrology. An astrologer describing people who may come into your life--or even describing people who are known to you--well, that's pretty subjective all around and there are ways to sound specific and "dead on" without really having to be so. I mean, most normal people fluctuate in their personalities from day to day, and most of us have a few bad traits as well as good. So, if you describe someone as basically good but with the concession that there are few negative aspects to the person, you're generally right. As for YOUR comments...why don't YOU get specific in describing your so-called compelling experiences that lead you to believe in some of this faith healing/astrology BS? You sound as generic as every horoscope I've come across. And, btw, I don't really care if I'm being rude or not. I've been polite to people with dumb ass beliefs for so long and I'm tired of walking on eggshells with you people (and what do I mean by "you people"?). I'm tired of having to respect your naivete because you are so sickeningly spiritual and have such a sensitive world view that to disagree causes you such spiritual agony. I hate it when I try to talk sense with the New Age people I know and they pull that passive agressive "oh you cause me such pain and concern because you are headed down such a spiritually destructive path and I will go pray for you I hope you realize what a burden your attitude is on ME" crap...ah, hell with it, you're probably a troll anyway. Why bother?

    If your robot vehicle freaks out and produces firearms from some secret compartment and decimates a small town along the way, you will probably go to prison...but when you get out, you'll have a sweet job....and whores. And we likes whores, don't we Jimmy...Ar har..ar har har har....HAR!

    I'm in the US and it's not worthwhile to try and get them. I wouldn't want the scrutiny. But, I'm probably being scrutinized by the authorities for even posting these messages about them.

    Or maybe, it does me the service of telling me when annoying windows will pop up to advertise a bunch of bullshit and kills it along with any other shoddy code. And, if it wasn't overly cautious, I'd accuse my AV software of a lack of vigilance and assume it was part of a plot on behalf of my anti-virus software to stage a fascist coup and take over my computer.

    Well, my LAB had some in a triggering device for an experiment (a very mundane experiment...nothing dangerous). But they burn out very quickly from continuous use and they are now gone. Didn't realize at the time that they were useful for bombs and that they were no longer on the market, or I wouldn't have left the equipment on for so long at a time! NOTE to any subversives reading this: We don't have them anymore. Don't bother trying me. I wouldn't even give you the time of day if we did.
