  1. Re:Good for him... on Microsoft Sued Over Alleged Xbox 360 Defects · · Score: 1

    Except that the aim of those consoles is "taking over the living room," and losing money instead of profiting is the strategy.

  2. Re:UBUNTU is debian done right. on Talking With Debian's Branden Robinson · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Except that Ubuntu is derived from Debian unstable every 6 months.

  3. Re:From the article: on UK Government Order Review of IP Rights · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Few missed gem are ever found, a shorter copyright term might lead to a greater exposure for them and so give the author some recognition. That said I think even 30 years might be a good compromise--it can still let the generation play with it's culture.

  4. Re:Free Will is Bunk on Born with Couch Potato Genes? · · Score: 1

    And just because we don't know how it works does not mean that it's free will.

  5. Re:My Heuristics on Company Claims Development of True AI · · Score: 1

  6. Re:True AI on Company Claims Development of True AI · · Score: 1

    That's not money in the briefcases...

  8. Re:Not nquite it on Company Claims Development of True AI · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just ignore any answers from people who identified a human as non-inteligent.

  9. Re:It can't be done ... on Why Can't Microsoft Just Patch Everything? · · Score: 1

    How about we compare the base of spyware install?

  10. Re:Do no harm? on Guidelines for GPLv3 Process Released · · Score: 1

    Only if does not explode.

  11. Re:Still a bit wary of one element of the GPL on Guidelines for GPLv3 Process Released · · Score: 1

    You can sleep tight then, it's not part of the GPL.

  12. Re:Dangerous game on Born with Couch Potato Genes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are just too lazy to see all the colors, pull yourself together!

  13. Obligatory Futurama quote on Hands on With the PSP Talkman Translator · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well then, good news! It's a suppository.

  14. Re:GCC is the Key to Open Source's Success on GCC 4.1 Released · · Score: 1
    Well, the government of my country seemed to care enough for the minestry of education to both endorse his visit and our local LUG [..]
    Don't you mean GLUG? ;-)
  15. Re:Power to abuse? on DMCA Abuse Widespread · · Score: 1
    The problem is that they are trying to give pirates the shaft, and instead end up giving the consumers the shaft.
    You misunderstand, they use "pirates" as the reason to shaft customers and society at large.

  17. Re:Houston, we have a busted/confirmed myth on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    Obviously common sense and Occam's Razor are just goverment coverups.

  18. Re:Houston, we have a busted/confirmed myth on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    It might be more fun to try to build a set where all the "anomalies" happen, it might be cheaper to go to the moon though.

  19. Re:Houston, we have a busted/confirmed myth on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 1

    How in the world is "crosses being obscured" convincing? How stupid does one need to be to think that someone would set up physical crosses in the set to simulate crosshairs etched into the camera?

  20. Re:First Prime Factorization Post on Texas Sues Sony BMG over Rootkit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to ruin the joke but that is exactly what primes are.

  21. Re:Plates on CCTV Network Tracks Getaway Car · · Score: 1

    Imagine hundred fake plates in front of hundred cameras.
