  1. Re:already done...plus there are better novels to on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    How long is "Lord of the Rings?"
    Like 10 hours?
    It's not exactly feature-length but it was a "normal" movie.

    Luckely it was divided into 3 parts, like the book[s].

  2. Re:most people understand hitting a woman is wrong on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    I haven't tried replying since the new system so let's hope it works out.

    As per your sig:
    "Guns don't kill people; batshit-crazy people with guns kill people!"
    Can't you use guano instead. :D

    I do agree with you though.

    This is really a reply to the http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/12/06/1843235
    topic:
    http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1898360&cid=34465420
    I didn't want to reply there since I think I might mod it.
    I don't know why more people don't do this.
    Even Libertarians who say the have a right to a gun to rebel against the gov't when it does bad things don't really do that.
    I always think of the "sad family" method.
    Disable or otherwise incapacitate(sp) someone bad, such as from the MAFIAA, no not mobsters, the bad kind, and make their family sad.
    If enough evil execs, in their opinions, are "killed," yea that's the word, then maybe the companies will stop doing bad things.

    Of course I don't condone any illegal action, I do condone legal action that has the same effect, such as suing a record company exec for libel or slander.

    All these people want to don't a paltry sum to EFF or ACLU but don't do anything else but that.

  4. Re:tsa fails on Bruce Schneier vs. the TSA · · Score: 1

    I've seen many people with similar posts as him.
    Sadly, I believe most are number 5.
    I actually try to grammarize, cool word :D, correctly.
    Sometimes I put a '(sp)' on the end of a word if I am too lazy to use a spellchecker.
    Every once in a while I make a mistake but I try to do it correctly.

    Almost on topic, I saw a TV show and its description used the word 'grammer'.
    I don't know why they spelled it wrong.
    It was one of the ghost shows about a school in I think Ohio.

    To grammar nazi[sic] yourself, 'Grammar Nazi' should be capitalized, I think it should.

    I won't mention names but someone else on /. seems to have a broken 'shift' key.

  5. no reason in 1st amend on Supreme Court Hears Violent Video Game Case Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    The 1st Amendment doesn't specify that a reason of artistic value must be needed to allow the Amend. to apply.
    It doesn't say, "No laws, unless children are involved!"

    This is of course assuming that the gov't can prevent a seller from selling a free speech protected game, or movie, or song, or book for that matter.
    I will not mention that the Bible has many killings in it.

    To reply to Ares:
    I wouldn't invoke the Commerce clause.
    They already said things like, "Even if you grow your own food in your own state for your own use, it still can be regulated since it COULD affect interstate commerce."

  6. sci-fi science on Austria's 'Bionic Man' Dies In Car Crash · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough I was watching the show "sci-fi science" yesterday and they were showing a person will a similar bionic arm.

    It wasn't the same person but it is erie (lake).

    Kind of like Spiderman 2?
    Well they weren't suicidal but they didn't like being controled.

  8. Re:Maybe for a home run... on Rounding the Bases Faster, With Math · · Score: 1

    "silly circles and loose the game"

    And the grammar geeks will pick on the math geeks for using the wrong word instead of 'lose'.

    Ignore my "beginning a sentence with 'and'" and putting the period outside of the quotes; that's how I write.

    And yes, I probably put a mistake in here too.

  11. Re:Record her life's story in print on Preserving Memories of a Loved One? · · Score: 1

    That sounds like an interesting idea.
    I don't know how well it would work if a professional was involved instead of family but I hope it works out.
    [after I typed the rest of this] I read that it was working well.
    It would have been good for my great-aunts and uncles as well as my grandparents.
    I assume you aren't based in WNY, USA.
    Or are you even online?

    I just thought of an idea.
    Since I can't post and moderate in the same story I could mod another of your posts up; alas this seems to be your first.

    You probably haven't been here long enough to learn about "first-posts."
    They are the first person to end up posting to a story.
    I guess this is your "first-post."

    A fellow Rochestarian.

    I was in East R. but essentially the same.
    I thought is was a couple trucks.
    It's funny; trucks can make the Earth quake more than quakes themselves.

  13. Re:Wonderful man in person on Science Luminary Martin Gardner Dead at 95 · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough I am thinking of getting one of your steins for my brother.
    The only problem, as you mentioned on the site, is that it is hard to clean the "inside".
    I was thinking that it could be seperatable with the inside taken off the outside.
    You then wash the 2 parts, and put them back together clean.

    P.S. You could make a zillion different kinds of designs.
    P.P.S. I have no idea if you will read this but I still think it is a good idea.
    Maybe I will try to find an email address on the site.

    The weird part is that now I do want to know what he is saying.
    It's like when you see a move and they say a joke but it is off-camera.
    It's never written and doesn't exist in but you still want to hear it.
    I actually see that sometimes too.
    Argg.

    You can Google 'Simpsons' and 'Mabel' if you want to know more.
    You can't Bing or Yahoo it though.

    P.S. Luckely there wasn't anything to mod so I get to reply.

  15. Re:Power users with hundreds of tabs? on Mozilla Reveals Firefox 4 Plans · · Score: 1

    What could you possibly use almost 900 tabs for?
    If you use 100 for business then what could those be used for?
    If you use 10 for programming then what could those be used for?

    Every once in a while I get like 20 tab/windows.
    That's only because I click a few links and look at them later in my browser session.

  16. the new sidebar on Scroogle Has Been Blocked · · Score: 1

    I use Google but I don't like the new sidebar.
    There doesn't seem to be a way to remove it.
    It doesn't appear on a browser from 2001 but does from 2005.
    There aren't even any ads.
    Can anyone help me remove the sidebar and get it back to the "cleaner" appearance, even with ads?
    Without updating to a new browser, or using Google toolbar or something.

    There may be privacy issues but as now I am not worrying about them.
    I probably should but I don't.
    I do like the preference keeping like the 100 items per page though.
    I don't know how privacy would work without cookies.

  17. just like microsoft? on Google Acquires BumpTop Desktop · · Score: 1

    I like Google as much as everybody, though late with their "updated" search screen maybe not, but this seems like the thing Microsoft would do.
    They buy something and then don't sell it.
    MS probably usually does this to remove competition but I can't say why Google did it yet.
    Of course I didn't RTA, so I still have my geek card.

    I "learned" the same thing about 8 and 3 in like 1st grade.
    Of course I learned 'W' was a vowel in kindergarden, 0th grade, but never knew what the words were until about 8 years ago.
    At least public school was a little better.
    That private school wasn't too bad though.

    I like cilia.
    They help us digest things, they help paramecium move, and they allow geckos to stick to walls.
    They are even in our ears.

  22. Re:Is this the year of clowns? on RIAA Awarded $675,000 In Tenenbaum Trial · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the problem.
    Everyone uses the "I have a family to support so I can't afford to stand to my principles" idea.
    That's why nothing good ever happens.

    I don't have a family yet, if ever, so I can't say what I'd do in this situation though.

    To go Orellian(sp) I am thinking that the people, are the proles?, are doing tasks to help Big Brother is that they have families to support so that need a job.
    The family takes presedence(sp) over the bad job.
