  1. Re:Direct download links on Cameron's Avatar Trailer Posted · · Score: 1

    Damn I just downloaded the 720 one, OK let's try the 1080 link...

  2. Re:Ubuntu studio?? on Goodbye Apple, Hello Music Production On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    grasshopper sound

  3. Cooperative only on Navigating a Geek Marriage? · · Score: 1

    The secret is playing ONLY cooperative games with her. Never, and I mean NEVER play deathmatch with your girl. Women often think frags in games carry a "secret" message, as if you'd really wanted to kill her... Specially if you happen to use a chainsaw and scream "DIE B1TCH!!"
    A mate will totally understand that it's a game, your fiance will never do it.

  4. Re:Is this why they were distracting us yesterday? on SMS Hack Could Make iPhones Vulnerable · · Score: 1

    Aside of the stupid joke about a man's health. I agree with everything.

  5. Keep trying... on Researchers Debut Barcode Replacement · · Score: 1

    Let's say you're standing in a library with 20 shelves in front of you and thousands of books. You could take a picture and you'd immediately know where the book you're looking for is.

    Somebody should tell these guys there's a thing called Kindle. Are you sure they are MIT??

  6. Let me guess on Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man · · Score: 1

    We are on the verge of the collapse of civilization, and our only salvation is buying [insert Tamiflu-like product here] from a company that, just so happens, had Rumsfeld in the board (cough Gilead cough)

  7. Better deal on Transformers Special Edition Chevy Camaro Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Not to offend Megan Fox, but I think you could have her (or the desperate-for-sex decepticon chic) for one night for less than that.

  8. Raimi's the man on Sam Raimi To Direct World of Warcraft Movie · · Score: 1

    He practically invented the badass heroe. Shotgun and chainsaw anyone?

    Expect broken mirrors, silly jokes, weird camera angles and cameos of Bruce Campbell and his Oldsmobile Delta 88 (although I'm not sure how he's going to include it in a WarCraft movie)

    BTW, the article doesn't specify that it's World of Warcraft, just that it happens in the Warcraft universe. I know this is /. but the editors or the poster could actually read the title of TFA.

  9. Most people want to know... on First New Nuclear Reactor In a Decade On Track · · Score: 1

    Will it have a Sector 7G?

  10. Re:Oh good, on Cure For Radiation Sickness Found? · · Score: 1

    What this really means is that we'll be able to drive nuclear-powered cars! No need to fear crashes or leaks anymore...

  11. Re:Oh the agony... on Typography On the Web Gets Different · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh C'Mon. It isn't that bad. Do you prefer Flash-laden sites?...I thought so.

    At least with this option you will be able to:
    1-Copy any rendered text
    2-Download/view the source
    3-Change the fonts for your viewing pleasure or prevent downloading them (with a little help of greasemonkey)

    Exploits are an issue but they'll get fixed. Same concerns arouse with Flash, Java, etc and they are all still there.

  12. Kill Flash! on Typography On the Web Gets Different · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, this will be another nail in the Flash coffin. Now, if they could agree on a codec for the video tag this would be a great year for the web.

  13. Zed's Haiku on 6 Reasons To License Software Under the (A/L)GPL · · Score: 1

    Zed programs
    Nobody cares
    Whines

  14. Run2theHills! on Can Bill Gates Prevent the Next Katrina? · · Score: 1

    Expect heavy floods and hurricanes in Cupertino and Mountain View. If this madman can't control the OS market, nobody will!

  15. Whatever floats your boat on Tech Or Management Beyond Age 39? · · Score: 1

    My advise: Try something new, you already know the old thing! That and only that will make you grow.

  16. Fear on Google Announces Chrome OS, For Release Mid-2010 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I wouldn't run an OS from a company who's business is knowing your consumer preferences, but suit for yourself. I'm sure there's a positive side of this story too, but I let that to another user.

  17. Re:Bad summary! on Passenger Avoids Delay By Fixing Plane Himself · · Score: 1

    Damn man! They were trying to preserve his identity and you blew it!
    Now MacGyver is exposed! Thank-you-very-much! All these years of hard work trying to infiltrate him in an undisclosed terrorist cell for nothing!

  18. I'm about to drop the hammer... on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    ...and dispense some indiscriminate DRM!!!

    This is insanely stupid AND evil. I'm a big fan of StarCraft. I still do LAN parties with my friends from time to time, except we are now over 30, we use laptops instead of desktops and I have to run it inside of Parallels to play it (runs awesomely well and that's the main reason I have Parallels)

    I'm so disappointed by this move. The best part of the game is viewing your enemies multitasking desperately trying to keep their bases in one piece or trying to find a ghost when the "Nuclear launch detected" echoes in every computer in the room. You get to actually SEE their faces, hear their frenetic clicks and screams for mercy mixed with insults.

    How exactly are you going to make that experience better Blizzard? Don't bullsh1t me, you can't.

    I'm keeping my cash with me until they decide to support LAN play and I call to boycott Blizzard until the genius in charge of this decision steps back and, preferably, dies from severe full-body itching after a very long and bloody agony.

  19. Re:Horray on PHP 5.3 Released · · Score: 1

    STAY AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD RIGHT NOW!! That's it, easy, let go... That's all gonna be alright... (Pst! Somebody call 911..)

  20. Selective Values on The Technology Keeping Information Flowing in Iran · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How come nobody talks what has happened this past week and is still happening in Honduras?

    How come the election in Iran provokes such a passionate response from the US (which is not bad) and a call to support them, put proxies, blablabla, but a real military coup in an american country much next to the US doesn't provoke Sh1t? Have you heard of it at least?

    Don't follow the imposed agenda people, trust your judgment. And apply it equally for everybody, not just the ones that your leaders want you to hate.

  21. Doesn't really solve the problem... on Bing Gets Porn Domain To Filter Explicit Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...if you search for "best loan insurance" and you get tons of broken images. Clever.

  22. Re:rock or a UAV on Wired for War · · Score: 1

    Wasn't my intention to troll. English is not my primary language. So that would certainly be my reading comprehension. Sorry for that. I was just asking a genuine question out of curiosity. Take care.

  23. Re:rock or a UAV on Wired for War · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...I had to consider my ethical position...

    C'mon, you never had such thing as ethical position. If you did, you wouldn't even be there in the first place. One thing leads to the other and you ended up making killing drones, so what. A lot of people do much damage to others without even knowing (bank employees?). Just be honest about it, and say it was good money...

    I have no problem building a weapon that retains operator control over the targeting.

    So you say you are basically willing to build anything that wipes life from earth as long as the madman who triggers it is conscious and has control over what he's doing?

  24. Re:A taste of their own medicine on Camara Goes On Offense Against the RIAA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Very good post, pity that I just ran out of mod points.. :)

  25. Be a BOFH on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 1

    You don't read much Machiavelli do you?
    "Men shrink less from offending one who inspires love than one who inspires fear."

    There was another one along the lines of "It doesn't matter that they hate you, as long as they fear you in the same degree." But I can't find it in english...
