  1. grow the fuck up on Why the UK Needs the Pirate Party · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    if copyright reform was so important to them, they would pick a more mature name then "The Pirate Party". these morons are going to shoot us all in the foot with their immature i can haz cheeseburger stylings.

  2. Re:Wow, just wow on Parents Baffled By Science Questions · · Score: 1

    it's ok not to know the in's and out's of how every object is produced, it's only a problem with they fail to understand SCIENCE is what made it all possible to understand the world around them if they so wished.

  3. Re:It's a good alternative on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1
    clearly you don't grasp just how badly some people fail at parenting. we aren't talking about mild middle class rebellon or little johny telling dirty jokes.

    we are talking about famlies where the 10 year old daughter is pimped out by her mother for drugs and gets HIV, where daddy busts up his kids whenever his soccer team doesn't win. I can totally see why someone would see this massive problem and just throw a solution out there in desperation.

    a lot of people only see problem -> solution, when they need to look at problem->solution->consequences. unfortunately running peoples lives comes with really bad consequences for the rest of us, which we just won't stand for.

  4. honestly, some people need this. on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1

    i can see where this might actually be needed, there are lots of people out there who make an absolute fuck up of their lives and drag EVERYONE (their kids)down with them. the problem is who gets to say who needs monitoring and who doesn't, until there is a way to answer this, it's out of the question in my books.

  5. Re:Do I need to prepare? on Bootkit Bypasses TrueCrypt Encryption · · Score: 4, Informative
    No, hd encryption was designed to stop people stealing your hd and reading it, not to defend against hardware keylogging. for this to work you have to have booted the machine and authenticated - if the attacker has the power to force you into this then i'm guessing your going to give them what ever they want anyway.

    i'm yet to see a decent defense against keyloggers like this thats acceptable to home users.

    the stupid name given to this event means they need to give themselfs their own fail award..

  7. Re:i feel a reimplementation comming on on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1

    so what, no software vendor has ever rolled out a major upgrade before? even given the problems with firmware updates it's not impossible, but i'm telling you it's a fuck load more possible then ebay walking away from a 2 billion dollar investment as the summary implies.

  8. i feel a reimplementation comming on on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 3, Insightful

    these guys are shooting the goose that laid the golden egg. ebay will merely strip out the offending code and implement their own solution. maybe a little painful but i can assure you they aren't throwing up their arms and saying this isn't fixable, lets give up on that 2 billion bucks we spent...

  9. pointless? on BSkyB To Launch 3D TV Service In 2010 · · Score: 1, Informative

    from the tone in your first post it sounded like you didn't think it should get past. yes i can well imagine the hoops they jumped through - it is probably the tail end of 10 years of study for them

    malaria isn't a death sentence, if 10 people get malaria and become a bit sick, but it saves a million children, what would you do?

  13. Re:the organic lobby got one thing right. on UK's FSA Finds No Health Benefits To Organic Food · · Score: 0
    I AM from the country you fucking moron, ROFL! honestly what brings people to make such huge assumptions over the internet?!

    At what point does food stop being organic? that simple question is enough to stump 99% of people and so i stand by my statement that the organic food industry is duping people.

    I challenge your nonsense about our food being poison with the simple FACT that people today are taller than they were 100 years ago, prior to industrialised food production. This is due to our diet being better. the simple fact is the wide variety this type of food production affords us is superior.

    i'm not sure what you believe you proved with your tails of sheep dip and lead pipes - i'm not claiming those things are harmless. Our current food production methods are safer and more efficent then they have ever been (not to say we can't improve, there is always room for that).

    "To be sure, I don't think the study is wrong--I do not disagree with its outcome nor its methods"

    then why the 4 paragraph waffling ? it's right. nothing more to be said.

  15. Re:Confused! on UK's FSA Finds No Health Benefits To Organic Food · · Score: 1
    yes but the effect of pecticides and peoples reasons for buying them isn't part of the scope of the report, so it's totally irrelevant in this discussion.

    the point is that even though there might be higher levels of nutrients in some organic foods, it has shown nil benefit. it's like the vitamin pill fad all over again.

  16. the organic lobby got one thing right. on UK's FSA Finds No Health Benefits To Organic Food · · Score: 0, Troll
    One thing about organic food lobbists is they understand people no longer have a clue about food, and they exploit that ignorance to charge a premium for "organic" food (what ever the fuck that is supposed to be).

    it's this ignorant mind set that supports the omgs chemicals are teh evilz rubbish that's all over the internet.

  17. sensationalist much? on Microsoft's Urgent Patch Precedes Black Hat Session · · Score: 5, Insightful
    yes activex sucks, anyone who doesn't know this already has rocks in their head, but calling a patch "weird beyond belief"? MS gets wind of security hole that might be really bad, patches it urgently.

  18. no shock on Music Industry Thriving In an Era of File Sharing · · Score: 2, Interesting
    the number of consumers out there probably grew by more then 3%, so i'd be shocked if there wasn't an increase.

    recorded music is where the juicy profits are though, so profit wise i'm guessing they lost out.

  19. Re:How long has this been going on? on Formerly Classified Global Warming Spy Photos Released · · Score: -1, Troll
    "it's happening much faster than ever before thanks to human behaviour"

    that's the leap that you aren't being very convincing about. there seems to be this movement of "omgz everything humanz do is wrong!" which isn't science. global warming advocates can't remove the emotion from their arguments, which makes me suspicous.

    the other inconsistency in their argument is that when we are talking about melting glaciers, your all happy to call it "global WARMING", but when someone pulls out data with a cooling trend you switch names to "CLIMATE CHANGE"

  20. Re:Judges over-ruling law... on Fair Use Defense Dismissed In SONY V. Tenenbaum · · Score: 1

    your right about laws that contridict or are unconstitutional, but the drive i was going for was if a law isn't in violation of some higher law, the judge just can't throw that law out because he thinks you should be able to download the latest brittany spears record...

    you've nailed it. this guy has admitted to file sharing of copyrighted songs, he's toast under current law no matter how you cut it. judges can't over rule the law, merely work within it's boundries.

    "But I'm sure you also believe that each parent can choose what to do with their kid including abusing or even killing them right?"

    your talking about a functioning child there, while i'm talking about less then a dozen cells in a test tube. i appreciate you need to muddy the waters to try discredit my point but lets atleast compare apples and apples ok?

    i guess your next argument is that those cells MIGHT become a child, but by that logic i'm a murderer everytime i jack off since every sperm MIGHT have been a child, right?
