  1. Re:Deep thoughts on Scientists Find Doublehelix at Center of Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who wants to pummel the poster for this? Hasn't this universe=cell=atoms been done to death? Smoke some more buddy. We've heard it before.

  2. Re:socialist-democratic not communist on The Pirate Bay is Here to Stay? · · Score: 1

    The fed is fairly complex. The Federal Reserver is "kinda" private. Congress keeps their hands off of the Feds pool of money because they know how disasterous it can be to handicap the fed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_reserve#Contr ol_of_the_money_supply http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_reserve#Disco unt_rates

    Passing on no debt to the next generation

    This should be changed to:
    Passing on minimal debt to the next generation.

    Some national debt is necessary for manipulating interest rates (Fed) which can be good for lowering interest rates and fighting inflation. Too much debt though...
  4. Argh! on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 0

    Am I the only one who wants to slap all the young fools who claim to have worked on some computer when they were 3? Look, you didn't use punch cards. You've never seen a punch card.

    Isn't it enough that I have to deal with these guys at work who are 25 and claim they have been email administrators for 15 years?! Watching your daddy hook up a modem to his computer doesn't make you an administrator!

  5. Re:Still pointing at the wrong problem... on Device Stops Speeders From Inside Car · · Score: 0

    First, the German Autobahn does have speed limits. Yes, there are wide stretches of it that have "End of Restriction" signs (essentially no speed limit), but much of the road does.

    Also, if you're in an accident on the Autobahn and you've been traveling at > 140 Km/h, you are legally at fault- Period.

    The average driver on the Autobahn goes about 70 MPH, not 150 MPH.

  6. Re:My car is already crippled. on Device Stops Speeders From Inside Car · · Score: 0

    You car isn't the only one. I've been in a Ford Explorer and a Dodge Neon that have both done that at ~100MPH.

    All I can say is that Bo and Luke Duke would be pissed...

    Try halt.

    For those of us that can't be bothered with shutdown scripts.

  9. Re:Attack the messenger (please) on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 0

    Um... no. The wikipedial def. of ID is "Intelligent Design (sometimes abbreviated ID) is the controversial assertion that certain features of the universe and of living things exhibit the characteristics of a product resulting from an intelligent cause or agent, as opposed to an unguided process such as natural selection." This means that ID addresses not only the origins, but also the continuing processes.

  10. Re:Attack the messenger (please) on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 0

    The problem with ID is that the scientific community cannot test the theory.

    Scientists are able to scientificially test evolution because there is scientifically testable evidence.

  11. How should companies stop cheating? on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 0

    Obviously this isn't just a problem with Blizzard. Is there anything that the gaming community would be okay with concerning anti-cheating software?

  12. Re:Waaaah on BBC Tells World About The Warden · · Score: 0

    Blizzard doesn't suck because they didn't prevent cheating in Diablo 2. They suck because Diablo 2 generally sucks.

    Anyone need a Stone of Jordan or two?

  13. Mountains on Maps Show Mars Was Once More Like Earth · · Score: 0

    Okay, I'm just throwing this out, but doesn't plate movements explain why there are mountain ranges on Mars?

    Is this really a new "discovery"?

  14. Re:The low bastards! on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 0

    Good point. This hits close to home because I recently canceled my cable service. I can still get all my SciFi shows through BitTorrent within a couple of hours of the initial air time.

    Shame on me.

  15. Re:It's a good point but... on Schneier: Make Banks Responsible for Phishers · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Personal responsibility?! Don't you realize that the purpose of the government is to protect us from ourselves?

    That is the purpose, right?

  17. Simpsons flashback on Microsoft Genuine Advantage Cracked in 24 Hours · · Score: 1, Funny

    Am I the only person that can see Martin from the Simpsons pointing and saying, "Ha ha!"?

  18. Re:Hands up on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 1, Interesting

    just music I've not yet the money or time to buy...

    Hmm... Makes sense. I'll use the same attitude the next time I'm at the gas station. I can't be bothered to legally pay for something if I don't have the time or money, right?

    This attitude scares me.

  19. Re:Common knowledge. on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 1

    That's crazy talk!

    You mean that if you don't agree with how somebody is selling a product you are not allowed to steal it?!

  20. Re:Note to Microsoft on Microsoft To Begin Checking For Piracy · · Score: 0

    You're right.

    God forbid employers hold their employees accountable for stealing.

  21. Personnal responsibility on Driven to Distraction by Technology · · Score: 1, Informative

    Probably flaimbait, but I think it needs to be said...

    At what point do people take responsibility for their work? Most of us have actual tasks that we need to accomplish. If we can't get our work done because we're being distracted, can't we just remove the distraction?
    -Disable IM when you're really busy
    -Check email less frequently
    -Let calls go to voicemail occasionally
    -Administer the fist of death to those people who constantly interrupt

    Sure I'm oversimplifying. You get the point though. I hope...

  22. Re:Driven to Distraction by Linux on Driven to Distraction by Technology · · Score: -1, Redundant

    And this, my friends, is what happens when you start smoking crayons. Light one for me brother!

  23. Re:More like keys. on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1, Interesting

    While in the military, I was told to change all the "Welcome to [servername]" messages off of our systems. Our security officer said that messages such as these "invited" people to attempt to log in. Not exactly something you want to do when you manage servers that may contain sensitive data.
