  1. So when does Comedy Central get it? on The Slippery Legal Slope of Cartoon Porn · · Score: 2, Interesting

    South Park, season 8, episode 1.

    Cartman walks butt naked across a stage with a small "thing" dangling under him. Was that child porn too?

    Fuck this law system.

    The only timezone that matters. GMT.

  3. Why don't wii's play dvds? on Streaming Video Service Coming To the Wii · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I mean really this seems like the most obvious feature the wii should have had by default. They are targeting the families that can't afford bigger systems, and they apparently wanted a smaller system that didnt take a ton of space.

    so by eliminating the family dvd player, they accomplish both...

    so why didn't they?

    6'5" isn't very much larger than the average, being a 6' american, however the often-less-measured statistic which actually affects tall peoples comfort is how tall your upper body is, and how long your lower body is.

    and then there's how comfortable you are when you have your legs fully extended as opposed to those who prefer to have their legs bent somewhat to drive.

    But I'm only 5'9" so everything's comfortable to me :)

    at which point my brain switch flipped to the "off" position and the screen went fuzzy as drool started dripping from the side of my mouth.

  7. any possibility of open sourcing it? on Tabula Rasa Goes Free, Brings New Content · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they plan on closing it down anyways, doesn't it make sense to open source it so people can run their own 3rd party servers?

    or am I missing something obvious here?

  8. Re:European prices on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    i live in europe and no, it's now the SAME to buy on steam as it's been to buy in regular stores for years now. When I goto mediamarkt and see a game for 60 that costs $50 online, it was a no brainer. Now I gotta actually shop around, because sometimes it would be cheaper to just buy the real thing rather than the virtual thing.

    So quantum computing would be giving your bytes to a group of people and sending them across the chips without a routing map. They may or may not arrive at the end point before starving to death!

  13. you want to stop cyber warfare? on Is There a Cyberwar, and Is the US Losing It? · · Score: 1

    cyber warfare is being lost through weaknesses in the system caused by the users who don't follow rules and regulations. make an example of a few of them, treat them as traitors and jail them for 6 to 12 months, and then see how many employees don't learn how to safely navigate the internet at work.

    So Goatse should start his own torrent tracker?

  15. so? on Obama's "ZuneGate" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Here in Germany I see more no-name mp3 players than ipod and zune COMBINED. What does it matter if he's an apple or windows guy? It's not linux, so why does it matter?

  16. interesting on Distributed, Low-Intensity Botnets · · Score: 1

    I was wondering what those hundreds of failed ssh logins were from every day.

    I didn't really have any idea what was up, so I just changed my SSH port to 22222 and the problem went away.

  20. Re:Having played one of these "games"... on US Army To Invest $50 Million In Game Development · · Score: 1

    I don't want to completely discount the games, as there's always something to be gained by forcing a group of people who are "new" to each other to act in a group-like way so as to accomplish a mission.

    But this could be accomplished in hundreds of cheaper and more effective ways.

    I just realized what they mean by smuggling them in. I'm guessing I wouldn't want one of those phones close to my mouth/nose.

  22. Having played one of these "games"... on US Army To Invest $50 Million In Game Development · · Score: 4, Informative

    When I went through WLC (Warrior Leader Course), we had some training in one of these games that was based on what appeared to be the Full Spectrum Warrior engine. The training was very "regimented", not because they were trying to teach us anything specific, but rather because they didn't want us to "break" the system. These contractors running the game obviously did not fully understand their own game, but acted more like substitute teachers. They were ex-military guys who understood tactics and whatnot but not the system itself. When things didn't go right, they would blame the soldiers and never the system, even though there were huge flaws within the game itself. There were 3 or 4 classrooms with around 14 soldiers per classroom playing this game on one game server per classroom. Only one guy was really "proficient" on the system though, and he ran back and forth between the classrooms fixing situations as they arose.

    I guess my whole point in recounting my experience with this is just to say that this is going to work like every other government contract. It's a great theory that gets glossed over in politics and pro/buzzwords so as to make a great powerpoint brief for the general, but in the end the soldier gets nothing out of it that they couldn't get from taking the soldiers out to a small town built out of plywood with some paintball guns.
