  1. Another Mirror link on A New Map of the Internet · · Score: 1

    Allow me to add my server into the fray, since that is just such a cool map. At 500K each, no wonder his server is down...

  3. Re: So much for DNA evidence... on Stem Cells Change Man's DNA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Fairchild

    Summary: Woman is a Chimera (two sets of DNA), and gets a paternity test, first one fails, second succeds because they take from another part of her body.

  4. Re:Politicians flunk physics again on D.C. Commuters to be Scanned With Infrared Cameras · · Score: 2, Informative

    Depends on the frequency of IR, glass is defenetly clear Near-IR, as I have tons of near-IR pictures I took through the windshield and side windows of cars.

  5. Re:Re-rebranding? on Intel To Rebrand Processors In 2008 · · Score: 1

    I thought they should have done that with the Pentium II

  6. Why? on MMO Bans Men Playing As Women · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I am playing a MMORPG, I am going to be spending a lot of time looking at my avatar. Why can't my avatar be something I like looking at?

  7. Re:Desktop Linux is not just 3D games on The Linux Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    How do you know they are solid drivers? How do you know they don't have security problems?

    That is the main point of not wanting binary blob drivers: You don't know what is in them.

  8. Corperate responsibility on Telecom Companies Seek Retroactive Immunity · · Score: 4, Informative

    What would happen to any other group of people that committed large-scale spying on the people of the US?

    Why should corperations be free from punishment for committing crimes, especially if it is in association with a branch of the government?

  9. Re:xpdf etc on Zero-day Exploit in PDF With Adobe Reader · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he was talking about functionality. Why make something intentionally broken?

  10. Re:...Cannot cause visible permanent injury? on Journalist Test Drives The Pain Ray Gun · · Score: 3, Funny

    Imagine this thing in the hands of private citizens, and YouTube....

    "Now here is a video of a person crossing the street running into an invisible pain ray" as a video...

  11. Re:Bring one to University of Florida on Journalist Test Drives The Pain Ray Gun · · Score: 1

    Hey, what if they put these up, and left them on, like a force-field, going across the front of the stage?

    You would have an invisible barrier that is hard/painful to cross, but would normally be invisible.

    Oh, what if you had a low-intensity version that you use in certain places to keep people from staying long, like in front of the mic or in a park?

  12. Re:So what? on Attacking Multicore CPUs · · Score: 1

    Yeah, apparently people speak with a lisp a lot....
    (Anyone who has used lisp would get the joke I was trying for)

  13. Re:Use old technology. on How To Configure Real PC Parental Controls? · · Score: 1

    Lol, you could use a very old serial terminal hooked to the parent's linux box.

    Text access, lynx, and such is sufficent for research, but not movies or pictures...

  14. Re:Let's Explore that...shall we? on Study Finds That 'M'-Rated Games Sell Best · · Score: 1

    "Midnight Cowboy" was rated X when it came out.

    More recently, Shortbus was really good, with a plot and tons of character devlopment.

    At a high enough altitude, sure.....

  16. ESRB doesn't get the game on AO-Rated Manhunt 2 Leaked To Warez Sites · · Score: 1

    Yep, definitely not using Gentoo...

  18. Re:Wait, what?! on TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA · · Score: 1

    You would have to have a whole seperate computer tapping the memory bus to record all of the writes, but could you send that to any kind of storage fast enough? And then what about the tapping computer? That has ram as well.

    And then what about the cache in the hard drive?

  19. Re:How Do You Know??!! on Copyright Advocacy Group Violates Copyright · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but the Royalty Free licence might only good for the image without the watermark. Since the image with the watermark is a derived image, it may be true that you can't buy a licence for that version at all.

  20. Unrealized gains are not losses on Latest Music Piracy Study Overstates Effect of P2P · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If unrealized gains were losses, then any product that didn't sell as well as it might would have "lost sales"

    Hint: you have to have something before you can lose it.

  21. Re:Worthless store on Wal-Mart Ditches DRM, Keeps Censorship · · Score: 1

    This is MOST definitly censorship. However, this isn't against the First Amendment, so it isn't illegal.

  22. Re:DRM or I/O priority on Playing Music Slows Vista Network Performance? · · Score: 1

    On a dual core system?
    There should be a whole CPU left after using (a small part of) one CPU for playing the audio.

    You missed the obvious keywords?

    Grits portman

    Since when did anyone "fly like an airplane" through space?

    Pretty much any sci-fi featuring a dog-fight in space.

  25. Re:Idiots on Bad Movie Physics Hurt Scientific Understanding · · Score: 1

    Flying like an airplane through space.
