  1. In Soviet Russia... on The Advertisers are Watching You · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... you watch advertisers.

  2. Re:Weird 64 bit comments on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    And there's virtualization. All 64bit Intel/AMD CPUs have virtualization extension that provide a large performance gain. Nothing was stopping MS to include a simple virtualized 32bit WinXP kernel in Vista

  3. Simon's cat on Cat Ownership Correlated With Heart Health · · Score: 1

    Cat's reduce stress, sleep time, and number of garden gnomes.
    And they increase headaches and broken glass.

  4. 50% of all statistics are made up on 70% of P2P Users Would Stop if Warned by ISP · · Score: 1

    Also, people lie and give political correct answers.

  5. Re:Sneaker-net on Proposed Bill in Tennessee Penalizes Schools for Allowing Piracy · · Score: 1

    Well, at least they'll get out some time and get some exercise. So sneaker-net could be labeled as a health plan.

  6. Re:FTP is free! on Australian Government Considers Copying UK Copyright Law Ideas · · Score: 1

    And how is FTP or HTTP not a peer to peer technology?

  7. Dr. Cox (from Scrubs the TV series) on 'Porn King' Says Google Should Block Porn Access · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm fairly sure that if they took all the porn off the Internet, there'd only be 1 website left, and it would be called Bring Back The Porn.
  8. Re:It's fine that the source is closed, for them.. on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    It wasn't Linux that killed Loki.
    Read the story about loki's downfall here: http://www.linux.com/feature/22324

  9. chicken egg? on Antivirus Inventor Says Security Pros Are Wasting Time · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If a hacker breaks into the password files of a corporation with 10,000 machines, he only needs to guess one password to penetrate the network

    Why would the hacker need to guess one password from a list of password hashes when he already broke in and was able to elevate his rights to read the password hashes file? He might was well add his own password entry.
  10. Not a door, but a brdige on Could We Find a Door To A Parallel Universe? · · Score: 1

    The Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky bridge allows you to travel between universes. Just to mess with the timer.

  11. Re:Definitions on Fox News / EA Spar Over Mass Effect 'Controversy' · · Score: 1

    2. Depicting something in details, usually unnecessarily.

    Wouldn't that make FOX news pornographic too?
  12. The Dark Side ... on VBA Going Away, Macs Now, PCs Soon · · Score: 1

    ... is going to feel that one.

  13. Re:Doesn't run on Linux on Computer Scientists Grow a Better Virtual Tree · · Score: 2, Informative

    It doesn't run on Windows either. Tried two different machines, and on both the program kept crashing before I would even see a tree.

  14. Restriction on software during flight? on Boeing 787 May Be Vulnerable to Hacker Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    No more playing MS Flight Sim.

  15. Re:I vote with my euros on McAfee Worried Over "Ambiguous" Open Source Licenses · · Score: 1

    Because of this? There are much better reasons why not to buy McAfee products. Only recently they fucked up again by identifying commonly used JavaScript frameworks/libraries as being malware. Or missing various common malware, not to mention the resource hogs their products usually are.

  16. Re:"I have no clue how to write a good one." on GUI Design Book Recommendations? · · Score: 1

    Most people throw things at the wall and see what sticks. If you keep things simple more will stick.

    Google used to have a good design. But their search result pages have become worse.
    The first line of google is:
    "Web Images Maps News Video Gmail more"
    And I am authenticated with Google, they know I don't have a Gmail account. They know I pretty much never use Maps and News. They know I use Groups and Scholar more regular than the 3 previously mentioned services. Then why don't they list those options. Also Google keeps insisting I use the Dutch version, even though my browser only says that I only accept English.
    I also have a couple of problems with the page design of Scholar, Video, and Groups.

  17. "I have no clue how to write a good one." on GUI Design Book Recommendations? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Doesn't matter, neither does anyone else.
    There is one important rule in creating a GUI: follow the same design principles as the target OS and applications with similar functionality as yours.

  18. In your face parents on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who's yo daddy now? Hillary Clinton, that's who.

    Now parent can focus on what's most important to them... consuming propaganda.

    Don't panic! Google will only remain logging when you are paranoid.

    Codec Hell isn't a problem at all.

  22. Re:unauthorized != illegal on RIAA Argues That MP3s From CDs Are Unauthorized · · Score: 1

    If the law says it's "ok" then it's authorized. Law is the highest authority.

  23. "E-mails have taken over the world" on Corporations Face Problems with Employee Emails · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, in that case, I welcome you, our new overlords.

  24. Re:What about personal things on Large Tech Companies Moving Beyond the Cubicle · · Score: 1, Funny

    We need employees to be fluid and quick to react to any situation.

    Yeah, tried that once by throwing a cup of hot coffee to a co-worker and yelling: "Think fast!".
    It appeared that he couldn't react quickly enough to a changing situation involving fluids.

    All it takes is one congressman talking about "an decryption gap" to get about 10^588484 billion dollars for this stuff.
