  1. Re:Poor guy is screwed. on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't think they can legally ask if you have ever had a warrant out for your arrest. Don't job applications ask about "convicted" at most?

  2. Re:Hrmm on Student Fights University Over Plagiarism-Detector · · Score: 1

    Sorry about not making those links nice and friendly clicky-clicky style. They link to a couple references on the "I could care less" construction.

    Is this any better:

    WTF? How about cigarette smokers or those who drink alcohol or obese people or.... Give me a break, that is NOT the justification for the War on Drugs, which costs you MUCH more.

  9. Re:So... on Webservice Debugs Linux Binaries While-U-Wait · · Score: 1

    Same version different input. You need to be able to track down why one set of input crashes the program. It is easy to get a program to run for one specific input.

  10. Re:CD technology on HP, Princeton Develop New Memory Material · · Score: 1

    SWEET. I didn't know, actually. I was going on outdated knoweldge. The original point of why CDs worked why they did (not 'cause records are round) still stands, but that doesn't mean we can't move forward from there.

  11. Re:CD technology on HP, Princeton Develop New Memory Material · · Score: 1

    Spinning is MUCH faster than moving the laser around in more dimensions. Another reasons we don't have holographic memory yet is it is SLOW to move the laser around. There are better reasons than "records are round" for hard-disks AND cds to spin.

    See, they SPIN around in the reader.... Round is actually the best shape for them. Anything else would be wasteful of space. Circle fits the most area into the smallest diameter.

    "I don't think that word means what you think it means." You do know the defintion of hoax, right? yes, you put it in "'s, but iut sounds like you are trying to weasel out of your original claim.

  17. Re:I have to agree on Wozniak Unveils WozNet · · Score: 1

    " While the usual knee-jerk response is usually 'raise your kids to be trustworthy individuals'...." Worked with me, and mainy others here I am sure, and we all live it this imprefect world. it actually isn't knee-jerk, by the way, but something I spent a fair bit of time thinking about. Maybe the attitudes behind "And then, through, trickier I can catch those little buggers lieing to me" might have something to do with the problem itself, eh?

  18. Re:yay, tracking! on Wozniak Unveils WozNet · · Score: 1

    I agree, but I also believe the post in question was a reply to the "parents have ultimate rights to do as they wish with their children" posts, not the basic (a)morality of the device itself.

    Funny, it's a pretty standard way for hosting companies to do it. It may not be wise, but certainly not unusual. I be it is the default behavior.
