  1. Intrusion visualization on Applied Security Visualization · · Score: 2, Funny

    I prefer the Gibson aproach. It shows cool little green/blue translucent cubes that turn red when something odd happens to them. You then have a whack-a-mole kind of interface to kill those bad processes.

  2. Re:Obama - A template for future US politics? on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Yes, but does he run Linux?

  3. Re:I Hate the Parties on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    Hating them won't solve anything. There are other options.

  4. Re:So will the coins be open source? on How To Make Money With Free Software · · Score: 1

    As most of the money is virtual (stored bits) these days, having at least one Linux storing money, could make them share the code of their "money server" so you can run a copy of it, storing your own money in your house in an OpenID-like way.

    Why would you store your money on somebody else's computer when you can do a better job protecting it in your own system? ;)

  5. Think open source on The Personal Genome Project Hits the Web · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Let's say you have a genetic "bug". Wouldn't it be better for human race if you share your code with everybody so anyone can peek at it, detect and correct genetic bugs?... Of course anyone can fork your "code"
      and create a new distribution of "you" but if you are smart and with an above-the-average IQ, wouldn't it benefit the human race also? Or do you prefer for these scientists to debug and make copies of dumber people that volunteered to it leaving you as "closed source" in the human market?

    And the final dilema...Should we clone Elvis?

  6. Re:1984? on Gov't Computers Used to Find Info on "Joe the Plumber" · · Score: 1

    Also, if this were 1984 I'd be waiting for "Back to the Future" to hit the theaters near soon.

  7. Re:Russia will break you on Russian Regulators Block Google Online Advertising Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Democracy for people that are not used to thinking for themselves is hard.

    That's why you got Bush...twice.

  8. Re:1000 mph speed, 100 gallons per mile efficiency on 1000-mph Car Planned · · Score: 1

    Yes, I don't think any state or country would dare to issue a car license plate for that thing. People should name a vehicle a "car" only after it a car license plate has been issued for it....But on the other side, racing cars from whatever category do not have license plates so where's the limit?

  9. Re:Sobering on Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen Ghost in the Shell? I think it's time to make tinfoil hats mandatory.

  10. Make them know... on Open-Source DRM Ready To Take On Big Guns · · Score: 1

    Some time ago I've stopped buying anything with the Sony brand on it because their lack of standards support and bully behaivor. Now I guess I'll have to add Samsung to that list too...

  11. Why care about terrorists.. on Schneier on Security · · Score: 1

    Why care about terrorists when a company or bank CEO can do much more damage to much more people?
    Are those beign blacklisted too? Just because they don't grow a beard doesn't mean they aren't dangerous...

  13. Re:That's it on Every Email In UK To Be Monitored · · Score: 1

    $enemy is East Asia or Oceania, they keep changing them.

  14. Re:oblig on Single Neuron Wired To Muscle Un-Paralyzes Monkeys · · Score: 1

    They can make the monkey punch himself, that would be funny as hell.

  15. Let me guess on Spore Expansion Announced, Another Coming In 2009 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Rootkit?

  16. Re:Ric Romero Reporting on 99.8% of Gamers Don't Care About DRM, Says EA · · Score: 1

    Great post. Please mod parent up

  17. Re:guess how many mouse buttons it has on Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air · · Score: 1

    Thinking a bit more about it, I have realized that it's multitouch, so you should have the option of holding them clicked with the thumb and drag them with your index just as you would using a trackpad with buttons.

  18. I'm afraid I can't do that dave... on Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving · · Score: 1

    WTF. This is the silent rise ot the machines in their war against humans! I say let natural selection and lawsuits regulate it. If not, what will come next? Your TV will work for just 2 hours a day cause your eyes might strain? And then you won't be allowed to go out of your car if it's hailing because you might get hurt?

    And where's John Connor when you need him?

  19. Re:guess how many mouse buttons it has on Apple Announces New MacBook, Pro, Air · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm cool with the no mouse buttons -Well, they really made a big button with a trackpad on top of it- but drag and droppers will suffer this. Dragging and dropping using just the trackpad is a mayor pain.

  20. Re:Who's to blame? on The Quietest Sun · · Score: 1

    Intelligence reports that Osama Bin Laden just opened a new terrorist training camp there. They also cook WMDs, a sun spots you see are really failed tests. The bush administration is planning on sending some or our finest minorities young men there to kick some ass and deliver universal justice for once and for all. There you have.

  21. Beta, Windows only, and no Adblock on Google's Chrome Declining In Popularity · · Score: 1

    Beta, Windows only, and no Adblock... What did you expect?!? Massive adoption? In related news, concept car goes slow on sells.

  22. Isn't this obvious? on People Prefer Angry-Faced Cars · · Score: 1

    They just asked 40 people. I think it depeneds on the target market, it seems obvious that if they are between 20-30 years old and they are american, they'll prefer the meaner one. Nobody respects a happy Panda in the road so nobody would want one. The result would be different if you asked 40 teenage manga-loving japanese girls.

  23. OMFG!! on New MacBook Case Leak Rumors · · Score: 4, Funny

    OMFG!! Did ...Did you see THAT!?? I can't believe it! Ohh noooo! He couldn't! Damn, Steve nailed it again! Ohh nooo, it is..it is sooo G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! The first *aluminium* MacBook...Brilliant! And did you see the keyholes?? OMG it has soooomany! Damn I want one! And the bigger trackpad?...Astonishing! I better ran off to camp in the waiting line and keep posting from there...
