    "Checking today there are 3,180 videos matching the term "lighting farts"."

    The real question on my mind and alot of other /.'rs is of those 3,180 videos matching the term "lighting farts" how many combined views do they have?

    Armed with that knowledge then and only then would I really begin to wonder about civilization.

    Agree with parent, I think it is customary when sampling the original artist is credited, and perhaps even compensated in some instances for having used their art.

    "(which are amazingly well suited for walking upright, by the way)"

    Actually no they aren't, [citation]

    Significance Even with much anatomical modification, some features of the human skeleton remain poorly adapted to bipedalism, leading to negative implications prevalent in humans today. The lower back and knee joints are plagued by osteological malfunction, with lower back pain among the leading causes of lost working days.[5] These problems resulted because human joints are forced to support more weight in bipedalism, now that the body’s full weight is borne on two legs rather than four. In fact, arthritis has been a problem since hominids became bipedal. Scientists have discovered instances of vertebral arthritis in prehistoric hunter-gatherers; arthritis is not merely pathology of modern lifestyles.[5] Physical constraints have made it difficult to modify the joints for further stability while maintaining efficiency of locomotion.[2]

    From Wikipedia Yeah I know not the foremost authority, but look up the Wikis referenced citations.

    When chased by a tiger, you don't have to outrun the tiger. You only have to outrun your colleague.

  8. Re:Because on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    I know people who basically don't use their home PC anymore. Anything they want to do (email, facebook, casual games, watching videos, streaming music), they can do from their smartphone. Not my style, but good for them. I don't think they should be held back just because I only use my phone for calls and the occasional text message.

    When a smartphone can run MW2 and let me play on a 24" portable screen, then I'll consider it.

    Why not just hash out your password, and try to crack it with John The Ripper or something similar?

    That would give you a good indication of how good it is.

  13. The true horror is VAC-system (at least for this type game). I came by a hack, coming from a history of Administering game servers for MOHAA up through COD4 I'm not anti-hack, I am solidly against them getting used in servers that aren't listed as "Hack Servers" which in the old days you could find. So coming across this hack which spans about 7 games, most were games that use PB a few used VAC. I tried to submit this to VAC to be added, this was before Christmas, still awaiting a reply. In the mean time I also shot an email to PB, reply the next day, week later those cheats don't work in PB enabled servers anymore. Thanks alot IW. Oh btw VAC and it's dev's can suck my ass. I don't care what the forums say, yes that thing can ban for a false positive. For the record, no my Steam account is in good standing.

  25. Re:I expect so... on Did the US Take the Back Seat In Science In 2009? · · Score: 1

    I agree education has much to do with it, as does mainstream media, and even school itself.

    Think back when you were in high school and didn't really know what you wanted to do the rest of your life, which sounds better? Rock star, actor or actress, sports figure, or research scientist.

    Given those choices the last I would pick would be research scientist. We are a nation of 'me's, what will it get me, how much will it earn me. Upon reflection now, I think it would be way cooler to be a research scientist, than any of the others, but back then when I would need to develop the interest in that field and the wonderlust, I would have chosen any 1 of the others first.
