  1. Re:Is it on OpenOffice.org Newspaper Ad Mockup Released · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I agree, it's pretty horrible. I'd consider donating if they came up with a really nice one like Firefox had.

    Then again they need to improve their product more before they launch it. Making it less bloated than Microsoft Office is a good goal. I mean...come on? Slower than Office? How is that possible?

  2. Re:Password on IRC and you're worried? on Freenode Network Hijacked, Passwords Compromised? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    > How secure is any password transmitted over the wire in plaintext?

    Unless the government is tapping the wire, just as secure as one sent encrypted.

  3. Re:Vandals on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    On the brink in a longer timeline, considering Wikipedia is supposed to last a long, long time.

  4. Re:Vandals on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Which wikipedia policy says you shouldn't, but I applaud you.

  5. Re:Vandals on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I'm not talking about ALL edits. I'm talking about ANONYMOUS EDITS. ALSO, Wikipedia allows 4 acts of vandalism before they will block you. We are such easy pickings it's laughable.

  6. Vandals on A Look at the Editorial Changes on Wikipedia · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As a vandal figher on Wikipedia, I just want people to understand this. Wikipedia has so many vandalism edits it is amazing. I don't even bother checking on edits by users, IP edits are pretty much 1/3 vandalism.

    It's a shame, but Wikipedia is at fault for trusting human nature to be good, when it isn't. We are a destructive species and Wikipedia is on the tipping point of being a big enough target for utter destruction.

  7. Not dead on Three 3D Web Browsers Reviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    But still completely useless and unneeded

  8. Re:Yay! on Proposal to Implant RFID Chips in Immigrants · · Score: 1

    One of the dirtiest, funniest jokes I have ever seen.

    Props to modecx.

  9. Re:some personal thoughts about advertising on TiVo from AdZapper to Advertiser's New Best Friend · · Score: 1

    I've had my HDTV for around 6 months, but HDTV commercials are still a novelty where I live.

    Thanks for the tip.

  10. Haha! on 8 MegaPixel Digital Sensor Unveiled · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, quality shots from a hole thats .8mm wide? Now I've heard everything.

  11. Re:some personal thoughts about advertising on TiVo from AdZapper to Advertiser's New Best Friend · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You should see HDTV commercials. I know it sounds stupid, but I really don't mind watching them that much. HDTV showing all the pointless nature scenes in drug commercials are suddenly not so bad.

  12. Re:You can't stop the paranoia. on US Releasing 9/11 Flight 77 Pentagon Crash Tape · · Score: 1

    Do you know how much money it takes to even get a jet off the ground?

    Sending out a pack of jets every time some pilot fucks up isn't a solution.

  13. Re:The only thing they forget is on A Solar Race Around the World · · Score: 1

    To add to the other poster, a solar pannel requires more engery to produce it than it will EVER make assuming a 10-20 year lifespan (very optimistic).

  14. Re:Yes, it was on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    Kerry lost two years ago. Get over yourself.

  15. Re:What is the cost? on YouTube Founders Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Light? They need bitrate. For stupid clips (that I love by the way) it is great, but for anything worth watching Google Video and YouTube and all the other offerings fall far short when it comes to quality.

  16. Re:MOD PARENT UP! on ISS Loses Orbit-Boosting Options · · Score: 1

    > Mboverload has spoken out against ISS on a number of occaisions

    um...what? I dissed the space shuttle once?

  17. Sucesses? on ISS Loses Orbit-Boosting Options · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can someone lay out what the ISS has actually done for us? It seems to be a crowded bunch of poorly-engineered tin cans floating above us and sucking up money in the process.

  18. Free as in beer on OpenDocument Plans Questioned by Disabled · · Score: 3, Funny

    As long as you can drink it?

  19. Re:Try telling them the truth? on Cutting Off an Over-Demanding End-User? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Honesty is the best policy...most of the time.

    Lucky for you, this is one of those times. Just explain the situation and if they are an understanding friend (like you appear to make them out to be) they will thank you for all the help so far and go find someone else.

  20. bull on Corsair Nautilus500 External Cooling Kit · · Score: 1

    I don't know what clown was installing this thing, but you do not need to take the motherboard out for EXOS installation.

    I agree with MusikCube. It has some other great features, check it out!

  22. I'm reminded of a song on Apple Sets Tune for Pricing of Song Downloads · · Score: 1, Funny

    I call you when I need you, my hearts on fire
    You come to me, come to me wild and wild
    When you come to me
    Give me every song I need
    Give me a lifetime of DRM and a world of corporate music
    You speak of giving the artist his fair share like you know what it means
    And it can't be wrong
    Take my iMac and make it strong baby

    You're simply the best, better than all the rest
    Better than Napster, Any of pieces of crap I've ever used
    I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every song you sing
    Tear us apart, fuck RealPlayer, I would rather be dead

    In your threads I see the encrypted bits of every song and every book I play
    In your interface I get lost, I get washed away
    Just as long as I'm here in your crappy GUI
    I could be in no better place

    You're simply the best, better than all the rest
    Better than Napster, Any of pieces of crap I've ever used
    I'm stuck on your heart, and hang on every song you sing
    Tear us apart, fuck RealPlayer, I would rather be dead

    Each time my Mac bombs I start losing control
    You're walking away with my music and I can't get it back because I can't download the song again
    I can feel your restrictions even when I'm asleep
    Oh baby, don't give me any rights

  23. Re:Steam, useful for cooling microchips? on Scientists Make Water Run Uphill · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    > Too bad only intel CPU's run hot enough for steam cooling to be viable.

    That's the stupidist thing I've ever heard.

    You take the heatsink off an AMD and you can watch just how hot it'll get.
