  1. Re:Optimisim sells... on Ray Kurzweil's "The Singularity is Near" · · Score: 1

    And lets face it, once we get to that stage we have clearly eradicated STD's. Can you imagine? People would be fucking in the streets!

  2. Wait a minute on GPL 3 May Require Websites to Relinquish Code · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm no expert but wouldn't it be more likely that they would stick with their previous code that only has the V2 license attached? Whats forcing them to upgrade?

  3. Re:IF the motion is not denied.... on New Dismissal Motion in File Sharing Case · · Score: 4, Funny
    At least this may make the extortion process a bit more expensiver per a person for RIAA
    Thats unpossible!
  4. Re:It is not silent on Silent 500W Power Supply · · Score: 1

    Even if it didn't have a fan it still wouldn't be silent. There would be a slight hum of electricity and possibly some pops and cracks has a various components heated up. You can't have something that quite but you can have one you can barely hear, much less over your 5.1 system.

    Any way to get rid of advertisements and images without losing the formatting as well?

    Yes
  6. Re:Worked for me on Do-Not-Call List, Two Years Later · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I once worked doing telephone surveys, No joke the worst call I ever made went something like this:

    Me: Good morning may I speak to Bob Someone

    Sad sounding woman: I'm sorry you can't

    Me: Is there another time I can call?

    SSW: No this is his wake.

    Me: Okay then sorry about that
    *hangup*

    Were it not for the sobbing in the background I'd have thought it was a joke.. it was not.

    That was so awkward.

  8. Re:NO NO NO NO NO on CA Sec. of State Panel on Open Source Elections · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well if you did that there would be no way to verify if someone had dropped in in the lock box. It would be better if you had a glass screen that showed you the printout and then dropped it in the box itself.

  9. Re:What is it with US and the word "illegal" on Eight Charged in Episode III Early Release · · Score: 1
    Our mainstream media sure talk about piracy alot, but I have never seen them talk about "illegal" trading etc, even if it is against the law. I have never seen the word "stolen" in the context of piracy either, in Swedish newspapers.
    Thats probably because Swedish papers are generally written in the Swedish language.

    By all accounts they are extremely aggresive, suggesting they don't see themselves as prey and know no predators.

    Vin Diesel could take one on... probably two on a good day.

  13. Re:Good! on Revamping the Movie Distribution Chain · · Score: 1

    Okay I have to ask a question, is it impossible in America to go to the movies and bring your own food and drinks? Furthermore is it impossible to sit through a movie without having something to eat or drink?

    Honestly I'd like to know, in my country you aren't bothered at the door if you are taking in a bottle of water and some food.

  14. Re:Not so easy for you, either. on Computer Jargon Too Difficult for Office Workers · · Score: 1

    The way I look at it is that even after all these years sailors are still using their own version of the mile, the nautical mile, it barely if at all relates to a normal mile yet its known by the same name. Everyone accepts this as part of sailors nomenclature. Therefore is it such a strech to think that inside the IT world Kilo, Mega, and Giga have their own slightly different meanings and that once you get past the minor conversion its easy to understand?

  15. Re:dark age on The Digital Dark Age · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think its safe to say, with the number of people who showed up on Qlink using real Commodore 64s reciently, that there will be no shortage of "Crazy old guys" in the near future.

  16. Re:Needs one more thing on The Quintessential Sentry Gun · · Score: 5, Funny
    Hook it up to facial recognition software, put it on a mobile chasis, and then you've got something.
    Yeah and perhaps some sort of powerful shield, and replace the gun with some sort of Sharkbrand(tm) Laser and add a speaker that barks "exterminate" or something. We could call it a doorleck or darlink, I don't know I'll let marketing figure it out.

    Next time a Hitler storms the continent and you come screaming for help, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out of the White House.
    I agree with most of your post but its this exact attitude that the rest of the world has a problem with. Europe was screaming for Americas help for years before America got involved in the war, and ultimatly the reason (and perhaps I'm simplifying here) America got involved was that Japan attacked, and as a result Hitler declared war on America. The short of it is that the only reason America got involved was not because they were answering some call for help but they themselves became involved.
  19. Re:Because you are never really anonymous on World of Warcraft Interview "Responses" · · Score: 1

    What kind of suck country do you live in where you are under constant threat from being fired just on the whim of your boss? You employees should stand up for yourselves and ensure you have some job security.

  20. Re:Nothing New Here on Is Yahoo Actively Supporting Adware? · · Score: 1
    I've used Yahoo since 1996 and every time I do a search there, I've always got at least a dozen popups from the top results.
    Have you ever considered switching? I hear there is this new search engine groggle or something like that, anyways if you've bee unsatisfied with yahoo for nine years it might be time to consider changing.

    Using my superior pattern recognition skills I've deduced that a iPod Pico will be forthcomming.

  25. Re:"charges for the votes" on Malaysians to Vote on First Astronaut · · Score: 1

    I think thats kind of the point, say you have Joe P Somebody who wants to get into space, what's to stop him setting up a few hundred mobiles to constantly message votes for him 24/7? Well if each vote costs say $1 then this method will not be very effective.
