  1. Re:Hmm ... on Microsoft's Magical 'Myth-Busting' Tour · · Score: 3, Funny
    And in conjunction with cryms0n's post

    Nick,

    This word 'secure', I do not think it means what you think it means

  2. Re:They got it backwards on Sun Says Hardware Will Be Free · · Score: 1
    Isn't software already free?

    *cough* LINUX *cough*

  3. Re:Did we Slashdotted NASA? on Earth Acquires a Quasi-Moon · · Score: 3, Funny

    Looks like we did slashdot NASA. I wonder if the government will look upon this as a concentrated Denial of Service attack on a government computer... (or rather, a government server) If so... well, see you guys at Guantanamo...

  4. DragonLance on Sci Fi Channel Plans 'Earthsea' Miniseries · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd personally rather see a DragonLance miniseries.

  5. So in other words... on British School Offers Elvish Lessons · · Score: 5, Funny

    So in other words, they're offerring bullies a central location for all their dork-pummelling needs?

  6. Re:Uh on A Shocking Controller For The Xbox · · Score: 1

    well yea, it's not gonna kill you, but the point is... why would you possibly want to spend $40 to mod your controller to shock you?

    go to your local Radio Shack and buy one of those personal stun guns for $10, zap yourself periodically and spend the rest of the money on beer.

    A. the stun gun is cheaper than the mod
    B. you get beer
    C. the shock will hurt less with the beer.

  7. Re:Wouldn't be this illegal under the PATRIOT act on New AIM Offering "end to end" Encryption · · Score: 1

    This probably sounds a lot more inflammatory than I intend for it to sound, but would you like to delineate any of those "good/peaceful" uses for guns?

    Cuz I'm comin' up blank on that one...

  8. Re:Hmm.. on New AIM Offering "end to end" Encryption · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hell yes. My privacy is so important as to accomodate drug dealers and terrorists.

    Why is that? Because when you exclude certain people from the basic privleges and rights afforded them by our Constitution, you open up a big 'ol can of worms.

    Exclusion becomes a stepping stone on the road to complete disregard for those privileges and rights.

    As Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who give away a little freedom for a little safety deserve neither freedom nor safety."

  9. Re:I have here in my hand... on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 1

    "I have here in my hand verifiable proof that SCO's lines of code are in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, I cannot show you this, as it is essential to the legal prosecution of my case, so you just have to take my word for it."

    If you replace "SCO lines of code" with "communists" and "being used in the Linux kernel" with "living in America" it kinda shows an eerie resemblance to McCarthyism don't you think?
