    Thats why camera phones were invented!

    Whip out the phone, take a pic of the broad. Phone flashes green if she's good, Red if she's not.
    Screw software...get a good and sober friend to judge and textmsg you back if shes ok or not.

    Oh wait...software might be a good idea...their scale might accidentally be reversed ;)

    The plural of is virii, not viruses.

    Just as the plural for penis is penii. Or a single, multi-headed penis is also penii.

    But I do believe financial harm IS harm, but the fact that a worm can cause it is sad.

    All the creator ever wanted was a DDOS net...not to hurt anyone's bottom line!

    First, let's execute some spammers, _then_ we can move on to the virus & spyware folks. Viruses and worms only are a problem for one segment of the online population, spam has to be dealt with by all of us.

    Good reasoning, but why not just write better code in general? Authenticate email, dont have easily exploitable code, and dont allow web browsers to install software.

    Nah...killing solves everything...who am I kidding...its working in Iraq *cough*

  6. Re:Total Bunkum on Pentagon Climate Change Author Interviewed · · Score: 1

    The planets lasted this long already...

    Yeah, and guess how much of that time was comfortable for current homo sapiens.
    I would actually argue that the current homo sapiens could adapt and survive in quite a bit of that history. We could probably survive in temperatures and climates quite different from the current temperature with relatively few population losses. Now, our society would have to change a little bit from the commercialism to survialism, but have a little faith :)

    Now the evolution of man could not have occurred in very much if the timeframe...

    Obviously you dont follow hockey TOO much

    Have you seen the balance sheet for the Pittsburgh Penguins?
    More like have you seen the PAYROLL of the Penguins?

    Ever since Mario has owned he team he has traded away all talent sending the team in a downward spiral of loss of ticket sales and loss of quality players in an attempt to regain some of his lost salary from over the years.

    But my guess is they are going to win the cup with the lowest payroll in the NHL and fool everyone...just look at Calgary!

    Haha...the classic poker excuse:
    "Poker is a game of skill, the same people do well in the world series of poker every year"

    Sure there is skill...but dont forget about the relatively high randomness factor.

  10. Re:Time to get stuff from Home Depot... on Camera Vans To Photograph 50 Million Buildings · · Score: 1

    Personally I would re-do the buildings after the van passes just to be a pain.

    Haha --- I would probably put up a facade for when the magic van is passing, and encourage everyone on my block to do the same. Sure, it hurts when the ambulance is looking for your house, but it is quite helpful when the cops are looking for your house.

  21. Re:Simple answer: no on Can Star Wars Episode III Be Saved? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    everyone said that episode I and II were not as good as they had hoped.

    AFTER they went to the theatre to see the movie and bought the DVD and the special DVD with 5 seconds of extra footage.

    Yes, it is too late, because a boycott of episode II after episode I's horrible blunder would have possibly saved the third movie, because they listen to box office sales, not slashdot.

    But if they make a movie that as many people as possible can go to, and sell a lot of tickets, they make a lot of money. And episode I and II made a lot of money.
