  1. Do I get more vitality points from Expresso on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will there be points for Coke vs Pepsi? Can I get all the Gatorade? If I get generic, will get sick?

  2. Sold to DVD Makers on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who are these DVD makers and what models are they talking about. Pirating minds want to know.

  3. Re:That's what you get... on Cheating Made Easy · · Score: 1

    "This is neither a joke or cynicism. It is simply the truth. "
    I am glad I missed your schools. I hope I never have to work with an asshole with your attitude. It is very sad when you do not recognize cynicism in yourself. You likely cannot laugh at yourself either.
    Learn to be tough and bust ass, that is what makes america GREAT. So get lost loser.

  4. PTO is flawed on New Robots and the Ten Ethical Laws Of Robotics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Patent office is F'd up again for allowing this Left coast Psycho babble to be given paper in the office files. It should have been put in the toilet. It is useless drivel that is so wide in scope that the author could argue it is in any code you write to control a robot. Yet there is no way he could implement it as a control system for jack shit.

  5. Re:Third-partying on UK ISPs to Shut Down Spamvertised Websites · · Score: 1

    Can we DOS spammers?
    Post some of the worst offenders and let us /. them.
    Make sure you have scripts turned off.
    I got spam from this domain today.
    Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space.

  6. Re:Services are the future on Free Can Mean Big Money - The Open Source Economy · · Score: 1

    We once had one Bell, it got broken up because it did not do a good job. The gov't running it would be even worse. (Your public school education is showing.)
    The gov't running it, the salary of workers would be fixed. The term 'good enough for government work' would be applied to all telecomms. They might schedule fiber roll out, but it would cost billions and take eons. Nobody would be busting ass, hoping to make it rich.
    In case you have not been keeping up with current events: Communism failed in Russia.
    Keep it out of USA and away from my hospital.

  7. Re:Communism isn't a dirty word on Free Can Mean Big Money - The Open Source Economy · · Score: 1

    FORCED Communism IS BAAADDDD! If you want to help out the world in your techie way, that is good. Much like green peace. If you make me work for you without giving me what I want, that is bad. (that is stalinist communism) One is christian charity, the other is atheistic hell.
    This is your free clue, others will cost you.

  8. If I give you secrets on Seagate Says Ex-Employee Can't Work For Competitor · · Score: 1

    No HS diploma comes with Hard Drive read/write technical expertise. If a company spends the time and money to give someone that expertise, it is unreasonable to allow that person to take it to a competitor. It can cost many thousands to train and employ someone, when you are going to hire someone you want some surety that the person won't just take the training and run. If M$ offered me big money, I could get fired in order to invalidate a non-compete. There are plenty of scumbags in the tech ranks not just in board rooms.

  9. could not change whitehouse.com on The Saga of Katie.com · · Score: 1

    The government could not get whitehouse.com from the pr0n sellers, Katie J should not have to give in to Penguin. Katie J should sell to Whitehouse.com. That would fix Penguin's wagon! They avoided girl.com, well they can still be advertising a pr0n site. After the sale, tell the good folks at the American Family Association that Penguin is pushing a pr0n site, those smut dealers should not be selling text books to out children.

  10. South America already using open source on Australian Voting Software Goes Closed Source · · Score: 1

    I thought that I heard, South and central american elections are using open source on portable PCs already. Cart the machine into a village, set up solar panel, villagers vote and move to next village.

  11. Re:Wrong quote on McBride Says No More Lawsuits From SCO · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you have been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked.

  12. Lets all get old on this ONE rock on Van Allen Questions Human Spaceflight · · Score: 1

    The purpose of space exploration is to find other worlds that we can inhabit. I do not want to doom my children and future generations to this one planet. We could wait until it is safe, but that is like waiting to walk until you own a car. We must walk, stumble and try again, if humans are to survive beyond this planet. We cannot expect the vulcans to show up and save us. Some species must be the first into space, it might as well be us.

  13. Only FUD - no solutions on U.S. Nuclear Cleanup Carries Major Risks · · Score: 1

    Soooo: we clean it up fast: dangerous, chance of accident.
    We clean it up slow: Containers leak.
    We never do nuclear again: Gas at european prices.
    We just sit in the dark: Yeah you can be a left wing wacko too.
    If we never did it, we could all be speaking russian right now.
    67 tons of plutonium makes a lot of deterrence.
    Just drop all the crap on the Afgan/Pakistan border and we can shoot the terrorists in the dark.

  14. Hole in Ozone on The New York Times On Earth's Magnetic Flip-Flop · · Score: 1

    So this is what is causing the hole in the ozone. Its not global warming, it is magnetic field reversal. Must be that driving those big metal SUVs are causing the reversal of the magnetic field.
    Everyone know that SUVs are responsible for all of earth's maladies.

  15. Use TV Remote on Modding Laser Tag Gear? · · Score: 1

    I had a programable TV remote that we set to the laser tag freq. It worked like a shotgun. It did not have much range, but it could hit several targets all at once!!

  16. Bulk Erasers on iPod: Your Portable Corporate Hellraiser · · Score: 1

    I once applied at a company that ran a bulk eraser all over your body before you left the building. It was supposed to wipe diskettes and it would mess up any USB device. I did not go to work for them. There are levels of paranoia that we cannot dream of, thank goodness.

  17. Dare vas no father on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 2, Funny

    She was working for Jabba the hut... He will bring balance to the force.

  18. The men in high places must be the ones to start. on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 1

    Buy it, rip it, RETURN IT!
    When they get a significant return rate, they will get the point.
    It is not a CD. You thought it was, but it does not play right.
    Hit them in the wallet, that they notice.
    /.ers can crash web sites,
    can WE make a difference in this fight?
    Your homework for this weekend, buy, rip, return.

  19. Nascar on The Technology Behind Formula One · · Score: 3, Informative

    I know /.ers love tech gadgets, but if you want to see the drivers compete - NASCAR. They do not allow squat of computing on board during the race.

  20. M$ will make other AV software crash on Microsoft Plans To Sell Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    They will have AV software.
    Tell you to patch OS.

  21. On deathbed on Parenting and a Career in Coding? · · Score: 1

    Nobody lays on thier deathbed and says "I wish I had spent more time in the office."

  22. End to evolution on SpaceShipOne 100 km Attempt Slated for June 21 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Of course we must do this. We are the best that humans can be and we must stop evolution now. No need for children, we can do away with public schools. The death penalty becomes a much bigger deal, suicide bombers are really giving up a thousand years not just 40 in a sandy hell.

  23. Example of US Education on Bruce Sterling On Lovelock's Pro-Nuclear Stance · · Score: 1

    Bruce is a great example of the failures
    of the US educational system.
    His understanding of science is nil.
    He gives no better solutions to the problems.
    More Nukes - Less Kooks!

  24. Millionaire musicians are an aberration on The Way the Music Died · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the history of the world, singers have been poor. Crosby says that when he started, nobody was rich in the music business. Records got started in the 20s then depression and war and not until the 50s did they really start making money for people. So rich musicians, making money from something other than the actual performance is a new phenomenon. They benefited at the start. Then the money people moved in. The 90s benefited from a re-purchase for new tech. Well the wheel has turned. The tech is making the recording just an advertisement for the live show. Good bands "Greatful Dead" can make a good living off of touring. They encourage song swapping. The BIG 5 have painted themselves into a corner. Focus on a few profitable acts, suck the money out of them, you lose the other ones. There is a lot of good music being made right now. They do not get the big 5 and Clearchannel seal of approval. But the internet gives them more traction. The few independent stations out there give them hope. Plugs for Disturbed, AudioSlave, Saliva, Godsmack, Jet, Hoobastank, Limp Bizkit, Korn. Yes they are like the music from the 60s and 70s but they are good.

  25. The Aliens will save us on Pentagon Climate Change Author Interviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    The aliens will come and fix all our climate problems. Thier arrival is more plausable than the global storms in this movie.
