  1. Re:Fingers in my ears on Unofficial Patch For Windows URI Hole · · Score: 1

    The best way I can come up with for reading the subject line is "Unofficial patch for ur eye hole" which to me sounds like Microsoft is trying to make pirates out of the lot of us.

  2. Google cache; good but no screenshots on Boot Linux, BSD, and OS X from Vista · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Samuel L. Jackson as Spock on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 2, Funny

    - Which one's yours? - It's the tricorder that says "Bad Mutha Fucka" on it!

  4. Re:Shame it's not a merger on It's Official - AMD Buys ATI · · Score: 1

    ADMIT

  5. Re:Not getting home? on Astronauts Pull Off Risky Spacewalk · · Score: 1
    No jet pack means not getting home if you inadvertently push yourself away from the space station and into space.
    Actually I was thinking that if you push yourself the wrong way, you might find yourself headed home way too quickly.
    How long would that actually take? How big a head start would you be getting and how negligible is the difference in descent between a shuttle and a person? Heavier things fall faster through the atmosphere than lighter things, but how long would it really take you to fall from orbit?
  6. They're Right! on Physicists Find Users Uninterested After 36 Hours · · Score: 1

    My interest in the article decreased quite powerfully as I read the opening paragraph!

  7. I can't be the only one... on Cambridge Breached the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    ...who's surprised that the filters allow content with words like "DDoS" through.

  8. Re:Evolution Darwinism on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1
    Animals do not have intellects or wills; they have no feelings or emotions.
    Does arousal count as a feeling/emotion? Dolphins get pleasure from having sex
  9. Re:hacking itunes is wrong on iTunes 4.5 Authentication Cracked · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps you don't understand: libopendaap isn't about hacking iTunes. libopendaap is about other programs "talking daap" with other programs (and specifically iTunes). It's about interoperability; interoperability is perfectly legal.

  10. Re:Kernel Preemption... on Ars Technica Interviews Robert Love · · Score: 1

    UI tasks are less expensive and can be put in front of things like network daemons or compilations so your machine's UI doesn't drag whenever you do anything heavy.

  11. Re:Sounds like you'd be better off elsewhere on Would You Use SELinux? · · Score: 1

    I trust larger distros because of the large and (largely) intelligent user-base that frequently gets intimate with the workings of their OS. I believe that given such a large population of OS-savy users, such a backdoor would likely be discovered and publicized.
