  2. Re:this is why the sea freaks me out on Giant Squid Washed Ashore in Australia · · Score: 1
    yes and we all formed from basic elements released in the big bang, it doesn't mean other planets aren't alien to me.

    the differences between me and a squid are far greater then the USA vs UK

    it's like an alien environment on our own planet. sure am glad these things are 500m down.

    how is this better then just using terminals?

  7. Re:Jesus Christ, Just Go There on The Dusty Concern for the Mission to Mars · · Score: 1
    i just watched a movie call idiocracy, it's filled people people like you.

    firstly the dust on mar is going to be vastly different to here on earth. no weather or geo activity is going to mean it'll be rough and cut up your lungs if you breath it in meaning you can't let any into the breathing space. we also need to know things like it's ph and other chemical properties to make sure it won't eat through life support equipment.

  8. what about the moon? on The Dusty Concern for the Mission to Mars · · Score: 1

    wouldn't the same principles we learnt on the moon apply? sure we need a mission to collect samples purely so we have a test run of getting there and back again. but come on people, most of these questions have been answered in our moon missions.

  9. Re:OS on PC Power Management, ACPI Explained In Detail · · Score: 2

    vista with all the candy, on a machine which won't crawl? anything less then a 500w psu and it'll be under powered.

  10. OS on PC Power Management, ACPI Explained In Detail · · Score: 1

    one could read this as OS's that require such hardware just to boot are wasting power.

  11. Re:Give me six lines in a man's own hand ... on Privacy and the "Nothing To Hide" Argument · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "We saw this happen with the Starr investigation of Clinton: every roadblock that indicated a lack of wrongdoing was interpreted as an ever greater conspiracy and ever greater guilt"

    OH FUCKING GIVE ME A BREAK! Clinton was guilty as hell and you know it. hence all the road blocking. that's a really poor example as it deals with white house interference in the exact checks and balances you talk about

    after all, if she's over 18 she's not doing anything wrong, whats there to hide!?

  13. how does compression relate to AI? on Text Compressor 1% Away From AI Threshold · · Score: 0, Redundant

    so if we compress google, we will give birth to skynet? how the fuck does a compression program == AI

  14. Re:Why does MS need GPL? on Groklaw Explains Microsoft and the GPLv3 · · Score: 1
    "always thought that the GPL functioned on the premise you needed copyrights to the software to do anything with it you wanted."

    no. the GPL's premise is that if you distribute gpl'd software you must also make the source code availible. In the end it's rather a moot point since nothing MS distributed is modified anyway and isn't out there on 1000 ftp servers to start with. I personally hope MS win this, because if they lose they will jump up and down and point at how viral the GPL is and how OSS is the devil. winning this is more of a loss for oss then a win, all this stupid one up manship needs to stop. "It makes about as much sense as me saying clipper magazine employees must where there shirt because I used there coupon at an eatery"

    uhuh, it makes a lot more sense then that sentence does.

  15. only one "metric" matters on New Web Metric Likely To Hurt Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the bottom line, is how often does someone click on your ad and have it result in a purchase? anything else is meaningless.

    I think he is reffering to larry's insane licensing polices, such as dual core = 2 cpu's

  17. Re:Mod parent way up! on First "Real" Benchmark for PostgreSQL · · Score: 2, Funny

    that would be because they are testing serious db applications, not your fucking toy shit. $65,000 on a server is no big deal at all.

  18. Re:Are you kidding me? on Analyst Says Blu-ray DRM Safe For 10 Years · · Score: 0

    he's just a moron. maybe it'll be 10 years till we can brute force a BD key, but until then i'm sure there will be some implementation flaw that will get exploited. the fundamental flaw with DRM is that you are giving the encrypted material along with the key to open it to the same person. at some point, you are going to expose that key to the open.

  19. Wii out sold them both combined on $499 PlayStation 3 Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Wii sold more then all of them combined? note is said america, it'd be interesting to see how sony vs wii goes in japan where both companys have a huge brand following. the japs are insane for brand names.

  20. covers on Music Industry Shaking Down Coffee Shops · · Score: 1

    Since when did you have to pay to play a cover song live? notice how RIAA isn't mentioned? this sounds like a scam to me. we had similar people rings us and demand money becuase we were using a CD for on hold music at a place i worked at years ago, only a small business. I asked their name, who they represented ( they got a little evasive there) and demanded contact details. i then asked what gave THEM the right to demand money. they went on a written script but copyrights, i let them finish and then said " but you told me you represent company X, but no where on this CD cover is company X listed as a copyright holder?". at this point they got frustrated and started on a big mono log on how i had to pay up blah blah and in the end i just cut in and said "look if i catch you calling back here i'm calling the cops, because i know your just trying to scam me". and hung up in his ear. they ever called back.

  23. 99% of people who voted never saw any of them on Did We Really Need Seven New Wonders? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ignore it, there's no one in the world who can claim to "offically" represent this list. besides most people voting on the list would never have even seen any of them in the flesh. just another bogus list to ignore.
