  1. Re:Finally on Valve Takes Optimistic View of Piracy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd trust RELOADED over Starforce any day.

  2. Re:10 years too late... on Class Teaches Nerds Social Skills · · Score: 1

    Sorry to be the one to break this to you dude... But you smell, I mean STINK, people can't stand to be around you because you make their eyes water. You might be a nice guy but seriously you have a problem, if you are showering regularly and wearing deodorant I'd consider seeing a doctor if I were you.

  3. Re:This is good...Maybe. on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I know I'm being a douche but radio stations used to transmit programs over the air that I would record on cassette for my Commodore 64.

    If anything is an analog download that would be it.

  4. Re:Lowest Form of Wit on Sarcasm Useful For Detecting Dementia · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they just aren't punny anymore guys!

  5. Re:NetworkManager on What Needs Fixing In Linux · · Score: 1

    This doesn't really address the (valid) issues you have with Network Manager. But have you considered reserving an ip address for your laptop on your DHCP server at home?

  6. Re:Theatre's & restaurants next, huh? on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    If all of these holier than thou smartasses want a good movie watching experience where is the cry to ban children? People with colds? People who breathe too loudly or wear the swishy coats?

    Right fucking here!

  7. Re:To quote Adam Savage: on Browsing Frugally Without Wasting Bandwidth? · · Score: 1

    To be fair he could be in a third world nation where that is actually the top teir plan. For example a 1mbps "unlimited" connection in Vanuatu goes for the princly sum of $585 USD per month.

    Perhaps 1gb downloads per month is all the submitter can reasonably afford, or even get.

  8. Re:what's wrong with ipsec? on Google's Obfuscated TCP · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ever set up IPSEC? Yeah, that's why.

  9. Re:Population Cap in RTS Games on Ask Blizzard Employees About Things That Matter · · Score: 1

    As a follow up to that, do you plan on allowing the player to zoom out a lot further then in previous games? The current limit in Warcraft 3, for example, seems quite arbitrary and entirely too close. I personally find it quite difficult to play RTS games without a overview of the entire battlefield. Will StarCraft II be providing an overview similar to Supreme Commander? Or will it stick to the current format?

  10. Re:RAM-based hard drive on How Big Should My Swap Partition Be? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah that would be a great idea.

    And yes, those bad boys do raid together and they max out SATA transfer rates.

  11. Re:Are you asking for a free internet solution...? on Navajo Nation Losing Internet Access · · Score: 5, Funny

    Worst. Poem. Ever.

  12. Re:Spice Rubbed Steak with Quick Garlic Fries on OSCON 2008 Roundup · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you're going to troll(?) at least do it in metric please!

  13. Re:Really? on Software Price Gap Between the US and Europe · · Score: 1

    As an Australian I can say it is most certainly not English.

  14. Re:I really wish people would get a clue on World's Oldest Bible Going Online · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I see your anecdote and raise you another.

    My Father was caned by Maris Brothers every day he went to school, he was also punched and beaten on a regular basis. On "sports" days they would be required to sit in the middle of a field in the summer heat, with out water or food. Their names would be called and they would have to run around the field. If a student didn't run fast enough a brother would run up behind him and kick him in the arse until he speed up.

    Anything considered hearsay or heresy would result in an even more severe beating.

    Those men were animals.

  15. Re:Employers look! on Your Online Profile Actually Tells a Lot About You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And a select subset of my profile is available for all to see. If a potential employer looks me up they will see a perfectly normal socially adjusted person who likes watching soccer.

    I consider my public profile as an additional resume.

  16. To be fair on Sun Spokesman Says "We Screwed Up On Open Source" · · Score: 4, Funny

    To be fair they wanted to open source the code in Q4 1999, however their Java ftp client just finished loading a few months ago so they couldn't upload the code until just now.

  17. Re:Can we be a little more inclusive? on Senate Hearing On Laptop Seizures At US Border · · Score: 5, Informative

    I completely trashed any plans I had for ever visiting the US when I heard from my friends that not only were they fingerprinted when they flew into the US, they also had their retinas photographed.

    One wasn't even staying in the US, he just had to change planes so he could continue onto Mexico.

    Fuck that for a joke.

  18. Re:snarkiness here is misplaced... on Study Links Storm Botnet's Growth To Illegal Drugs · · Score: 1

    As a crazy homeless bum who sucks dick for joints I take offence to the above comment.

    1. That is only in New South Wales.
    2. The Lasers that you need to get a license for are incredibly powerful, they aren't simple laser pointers.

  21. Re:Is it that much of a deal? on Japan IDs All Its Citizens · · Score: 1

    Of course our Medicare cards are pretty much universal.

  22. Re:I'm still hoping for... on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 1

    You know as silly as it sounds the price of flash drives today means a flash cartridge could at least be feasible. 8gb of flash is pretty cheap and can store a fairly decent game.

  23. I know! on What Makes Something "Better Than Free"? · · Score: 1

    Something that is not only free but comes with a complementary reach-around.

  24. Re:Star bucks on Corkscrew Cups Could Keep Space Drinks Flowing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Okay, perhaps it is just an American thing, but it has to be said.

    How the hell can you drink that crap? Starbucks coffee is terrible, and I'm not talking tastes-no-better-then-instant terrible, I'm talking this-coffee-is-burnt terrible.

    How is Starbucks still in business?

    Can't you just buy a bunch of hemp seeds for Canaries and use them?
