  1. Re:Doesn't the DOJ have better things to do... on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well since all my storage media is overpriced, with the tab going to the music/movie industry, I will download to make it up.

  2. Interesting Article... on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 1

    on the subject. Personally I think that politics will stifle growth of computer related technology is many countries, disagreeing with the Gorniak Hypotheses.

  3. Offtopic on MPAA Piracy Survey - Junk Research · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    But Since when did Sourcforge.net start supporting things like this. I understand that this is a private webpage on their network, but it's still annoying.

    So, would you give your leg for the flying car?

  6. Re:Our gov't at work on Senator Blacklisted by No-Fly List · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There were witnesses. He appeared in court and the case was dismissed. The guy who was hit can't even walk straight now. I also talked to some people who saw my Sifu take out four black belts. He got a huge trophy for it too, I see it nearly every day. He starred in a Chinese Kung Fu movie. I saw it(it wasn't that good but interesting), it's called Eagle Claw. A black belt in Mantis Kung Fu needs to be able to pierce most parts of the opponents body with his finger. I'm studying with him now.

    they actually allowed knives on planes. i will say that again, you could take knives on a plane.

    Big deal. I will say it again, big deal. Most black belts in Kung Fu can pearce your body with their hand. My Sifu had even done it. Some guy was attacking a woman and her child, and my Sifu just walked up and in one hit put his hand through him. His entire hand was inside the man's body(just below the ribs). There is a famous master in China who hits a plate of iron every day for hours. There is now a hole in it. He once punched somebody and killed them in that one hit. A knife would be pretty worthless against someone who knows how to fight. Most masters would probably put that knife through your throat just for a laugh if you attacked them with it.

    Maybe they were testing you to see how interested you were. To see if you really cared if they were smart or not.

    Is the adult brain plastic enough to learn to process this data at all? What about a child's brain?

    You're forgeting that the brain is also getting the image upside down. And then it flips it for you. There was an experiment a while back where a guy wore a pair of glasses which turned everything upside down for him. I think he wore them for like 2 weeks. If I remember correctly, after a while his brain just flipped the image back for him. When he took the glasses off, his brain had to adjust again.

  11. Re:same on Education Via Video Games · · Score: 1

    If you're poor enough to be receiving welfare and/or food stamps, you have enough free time to watch your kids

    The pilots who are just beginning in commercial airlines make so little they can apply for welfare and food stamps. Tell them to play with their children when they aren't in the same state most than half the time.

  12. Re:WTF?!? on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: 1

    Automotive companies may not want to spend huge sums of money on technology that may never actually make the road. The first engine ever built wasn't build by an automotive industry, they didn't even exist. Same with solar powered cars, there is no solar powered car industry yet.

    I got a great finger for them.

  16. Help!!! on Does Your Employer Own Your Thoughts? · · Score: 1

    If bosses owned the thoughts of their employees, then there would be a lot more people in mental homes right now. All suffering a combination of multiple personality disorders, pedophelia and the repeatedly wanted to harm themselves.

    become horribly disfigured in some sort of Volcano-related accident

    We could have an auction as to who pushes him in. I bet people would pay even more then to go on Soyuz.

    Imagine a battlefield full of these guys all on the ground hitting themselves. A single North Korean nerd on the other side of the field. Laughing hysterically while muttering "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself..."

  19. Re:So? on More On Silent Supersonic Planes · · Score: 1

    During the night and over the ocean, you have nothing but your insturments to rely on

    But they would still need to be able to see the runway to land. They can't just rely on their instruments to tell them within a few feet where they and the runway is. And exactly how many feet above the runway they are. No matter what, they would still need to see the runway to land.

  20. Bull Shit!!! on The File Sharing Database · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is nearly as conclusive as a Slashdot poll. Just to prove it, I just added the Gladiator Soundtrack for $20.00. I listen to it all the time, and have never even seen it in a store. The thought of buying it has never even crossed my mind.

  21. Re:Big Deal on Around The Country Without Gasoline · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Actually he reminds me of Columbus. It sounds like he thinks he found something new. Columbus had the same dilusion. Seriously how do you discover a continent when there are people that meet you on the shore when you get there?

    I'm not sure it was a standard in the first place. Try here and here.

    Actually I think it would go like this:

    "ZZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzZZ"

    "Sir!"

    Checks pulse "He has no pulse, start CPR."

    "Get the hell off me."

    "AAAAAAAA".

  24. Robin? on Batman Begins Trailer Online · · Score: 2

    Is the plot going to be anything like The Ambiguously Gay Duo.

    And BTW trailer didn't work in Mozilla had to use IE to open it.
