  1. Re:A bold new direction from Lucas on Lucas To Make New Live Action Star Wars Films · · Score: 1

    no it was good, it had 10x the character of the movies.

  2. Re:Advertising is inherently untrustworthy on Traffic Fraud Inflates Video Site Popularity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    thats not strictly true. i've encountered advertising thats discrete, gave me the information i was looking for and was very handy. unfortunately thats a rare thing. all those dating and "your our millionth visitor you've won" ads need to fuck off.

  3. purchases are what matter on Traffic Fraud Inflates Video Site Popularity · · Score: 1
    traffic numbers aren't a good way of guaging the effectivness of an add. i see lots of ads every day, 99.9999% of them i ignore.

    purchases are all that matter. if i ever find an easy way to link purchases directly to advertisments i'm selling the idea to google and retiring.

  4. Re:panic? on Spy Chief Hints At Limits On Satellite Photos · · Score: 1
    all the online images are 12 months out of date. for any real military sense they are useless. in fact their worse then useless, their incorrect.

    any military that uses it as a primary source of information is laughable.

  5. 8 posts and no creationists, a /. first on The Human Mutation · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    no doubt some zealot will ruin the party with his unscience nonsense.

  6. Re:web 2.0 is a buzz word on Social Computing and Badger's Paws · · Score: 1

    you must increase your gross margins in order to capitalise on your revitalised core services and fully realise your brand potential.

  7. web 2.0 is a buzz word on Social Computing and Badger's Paws · · Score: 3, Insightful

    there is no technology called web 2.0, just mindless drones repeating it.

  8. Re:Not all open-source is the same on You Can Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 1

    either something is copyrighted or it isn't. even public domain and BSD licensed stuff is protected - you can't go and claim your the copyright holder to a BSD'd work. like i said copyrights are good, its the terms that need work.

  9. Re:Not all open-source is the same on You Can Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful
    so your claiming the BSD license isn't any kind of copyright? i bet there's a few lawyers over at berkly that disagree...

    bottom line people. copyright is not bad. america's copyright LAWS are bad.

  10. bad bad on A Foolproof Way To End Bank Account Phishing? · · Score: 1

    this is nothing but money making for TLD's and a false sense of security for the consumer. phishers make millions, $50,000 is a small price for them to pay if it means they will be able to fool more people.

  11. Re:Fixed on Microsoft Invents Split Screen PC · · Score: 1

    i can't believe your retarded comment got +5 just because you mentioned macs. don't you fucking realise you need 4 computers for VNC? +1 for the terminal they are logging into? your idea is even MORE inefficent! gahhhhhh i demand that you press alt+F4 RIGHT NOW!!!

  12. Re:Figures on Cold Fusion Gets a Boost From the US Navy · · Score: 0, Troll
    "Also, most US/British journals would refuse to publish not because they doubted the ability of the scientists to produce good quality data, but because they have a knee-jerk reaction that cold fusion is junk science."

    and they would be right. please alt+F4 yourself NOW.

    "how often can you fire your guns with that kind of generating capacity, and how many can you fire? "

    compared to the equivalent from traditional gun powder? it's probably about the same.

    on the fucking jerk off who reported him for no reason at all.

  15. law schools on Harvard Law Professor Urges University to Fight RIAA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    i believe there's 2 things they tell you in law school 1. never sue a church - they are exempt from just about everything 2. never sue a university with a well stocked law faculty - you'll become the target of the best legal minds in the world who will have 100's of students working for free.

  16. cringley... on IBM to Lay Off Half of Global Services Division · · Score: 1

    is a fucking wanker, don't listen to anything he says.

  17. Re:As if! Look at the breakdown costs... on India Hopes to Make $10 Laptops a Reality · · Score: 1

    not only that but 1 million unit's is fuck all. economy's of scale hardly even kick in at 1 million units.i suspect this will end up like the $100 laptop saga - start at $10, end up at $70. now i could see a $70 lappy being real, using surplus chips that are too outdated to anyone else to use. you could come up with a black and white display with a small amount of flash memory onboard and 32 megs of ram. the electronics for something on that scale would only set you back $50, $20 would cover the other costs easily.

  18. ebay on India Hopes to Make $10 Laptops a Reality · · Score: 1

    can't wait to buy one on ebay then.

  19. Re:Have a little pride for fuck's sake... on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    rofl, china has never been particularly creative. they stagnated for 1000's of years with the same technology and culture. when communism came in all the old culture was banned. it's only now it's making a resurgence.

  20. love to go there on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    i'd love to go see the freaky chinese version of disneyland. my bet is it's chockers with nationalist pride stuff. yes, the chinese are even more nuts then american's.

  21. Re:Interesting (and not so legal) uses for this... on RFID Guardian Protects Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    1. you don't know what your talking about - walmart use it for crying out loud. 2. you don't know what your talking about - if it's a chip powered by RF that id's itself when near a reciever, then's RFID.... wideband jamming? you do realise that takes more power then a couple of aa batteries can supply, and it is also going to result in the local authorities investigating who took out the local FM/AM channels and other radio channels and putting your arse in jail for a long time.

  22. the answer is simple on Do We Really Need a Security Industry? · · Score: 1

    network and system design cannot keep up with the development of attacks. and if you think you can come up with a fool proof system.. well your the fool.

  23. my kids on Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website · · Score: 1
    if my kids posted stuff on there that was reasonable and measured, i'd support them.

    seriously, who gives a shit? anyone, including minor's are entitlied to their opinion and thats all this site does. as long as they aren't making any criminal accusations it's really a non event.
