  1. Re:Who was the target? on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings Revisited · · Score: 1

    I'd be inclined to wonder if anyone who knows of PA, including Gabe and Tycho, would be readily searching around looking for gay porn with PA characters in it. Furthermore, I really don't think they'd actually make a big deal about it. They'd probably considering posting a rant about it but I don't see them taking it to court...

  2. Re:Democratizing factor of the internet... on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 1

    If the democrats are stupid enough to ignore using the economy against bush in favor of the 2K elections, they deserve to lose it. :(

  3. Re:It's time to really do something, people... on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not so sure you can go so far as to say worthless. Once the official is elected, true, you've lost all power. Until election, though, that politician is gonna kiss your ass as much as possible...so that makes you vote at least somewhat valuable.

    The sad thing in today's legislative system is that it takes a lobbyist or a lawyer to get your agenda even the least bit of attention. The masses have no real control...all we can do is support organizations that we agree with.

  5. Re:This sucks... on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 1

    The only problem is that most users here are probably used to virtual anarchy (games) instead of physical anarchy (actually going out and torching some parked car). Then again, maybe we are all just practicing for the day when we will go out and attack The Machine. ;)

  6. Re:Page files considered good on Conquest FS: "The Disk Is Dead" · · Score: 1

    That would lead to a lot of ram banks on the motherboard. I wonder how stability would be. (Unless mobo manufacturers started implementing the extra RAM on the boards) Still, the potential for caching to disk would be there anyway so I'm not sure that idea actually solves anything except further delaying the inevitable. Good thoughts though.

  7. PS2 updates on Sony & Toshiba Disclose Cell Fab Plans · · Score: 1

    Considering Sony has updated the PS2 numerous times since the original, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up re-releasing it with the Cell chip just to screw with people's minds.

  8. Re:Isn't "Extreme" programming simply... on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 1

    If I remember correctly, isn't it doing some design, coding, and then going back to do more design? Basically, switching back and forth instead of doing ALL the planning before coding.

  9. Re:Analysis on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 0

    All that research money...can't let it go to waste :p

  10. Re:Analysis on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 0

    I was wondering the same thing about Extreme Programming. Dunno what this post means...

  11. Re:I know a little about this... on Blackboard Campus IDs: Security Thru Cease & Desist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do you know what your school did after the incident? Did they do anything to try and increase security for the system for future prevention?
