  1. Re:Singularity is naive on Douglas Hofstadter Looks At the Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    The brain is a wonderful machine. A large chunk of it can be seriously damaged, yet the whole can still work without major trouble.
    You're apply a special case in a general form. What you say only applies to lawyers and RIAA/MPAA employees. Most of the normal people do have trouble functing with half their brains removed. The sole reason the former mentioned peons can take so much braindamage is because they are used to think with their asses. The sole function of their brain is to keep their heads warm. So when you spot someone wearing a hat, you'll know who he works for and what happend to him.

    Oh wait...am I now in violation with the DMCA?

  3. Re:and piracy killed music on Open Source Killing Commercial Developer Tools · · Score: 1

    OS development tools have no technological advantage; The only advantage is they're free.
    How about we turn this around? What tech advantage do non-OS tools have to justificy their price? Walking is free too, but that doesn't mean non-free transportation (bikes, cars, busses, trains) go unused.

  6. Re:Trouble makers are all the same on Olympic Tickets Contain Microchip With Your Data · · Score: 1

    The question is, how big of a trouble makers can you be before you go to jail? In China? Depends on how many tanks are present on the square.

  13. Re:Palm Tungsten on Have You Changed Your Opinion On eBook Readers? · · Score: 1

    Exactyly. I do the same. The only downside is converting the PDF to mobiread. Acrobat reader for Palm sucks (1/3 of the screen lost to a useless keyboard? WTF?) and the alternative pdf-reader who's name I forgot displays the PDF perfectly, yet imposibly small.Mobireader is so far the best I found. Conversions I've seen so far have been good enough.

    The one thing I still miss is a vieuwer for CHM, but honestly I haven't invest much time in this yet.
    (A good source of allready formated and converted ebooks would be nice too...)

  20. Re:and how does one obtain these drugs? on Many Scientists Using Performance Enhancing Drugs · · Score: 1

    Just fill in this form. Don't forget to mention you want to buy an ilegal drug. They do require you to include your name, adress and some prove of ID. Ask for their fax number and send a copy of some form of ID. They usualy have next day delivery, but as a word of advice, make sure your front door is unlocked as their deliverymen are somewhat inpatient.

  21. I can ban them. on Should Microsoft Be Excluded From EU Government Sales? · · Score: 1

    Really. I'm one of those people who do public procurement for a city. One of the documents we ask for is a official document that proves the company hasn't been convicted. Any candidates who can't provide such a document or have been convicted, can and most likely will be excluded from the procedure.
