    I don't claim to fully understand how the signal in the optic nerve works or how the brain interpets it, but strange flicker patterns probably cause weird dropouts and spikes in the signal from the eyes to the brain.

    The MPAA use this to induce a Buffer Overflow condition in the brain. They can then insert their own thought processes, eg- don't pirate movies; eat more popcorn; etc, etc.

  12. Re:Really? on Testing Microsoft And The DMCA · · Score: 1
    It's like "Could care less" instead of "Couldn't care less"

    Not quite. "Could care less", indicates that you do care a bit, that you could care less. "Couldn't care less" - you have no care left. The first one has grown up to be more annoying to it's target, ie- "I could care less about (you), but I can't be bothered"
