  1. DOPE on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    I was going to attack you on the basis of party ratios in the house, saying that the republicans don't outnumber the dems by such a large margin, so saying that "several" of the against votes are dems isn't proving your point, but...

    ALL (except the 4 who didn't vote) republicans are for!
    In other words,

        Rep Dem
    Yea 98.26% 91.04%
    Nay 0(!) 7.46%
    NV 1.77% 1.64%

    All the data is availible in the silver bullet format here

    As to the subject of this post, did anyone notice that the bill is called Deleting Online Predators Act? After Operation Iraqi Lib^H^H^HFreedom, it seems to me that they deliberately chose the names just one letter short of comedy gold. Here, all they needed to do is use a synonym to the word "act", such as "edict" or "enactment".

    Why would I want the Bash shell, from source or from anything else?

  5. Funny looking on Shake Hands with the Zero Tension Mouse · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, it does look like something the goatse guy might shove up his ass.

  6. Bah, I can do it in one line on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1
    perl -e "print 100-64"
  7. v3, eh? on GPLv3 Second Discussion Draft Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    What, did they fix all the bugs in the previous version already?

  8. It is a vulnerability. on Spyware Disguises Itself as Firefox Extension · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Firefox isn't doing anything to prevent it, so it's a Ff vulnerability.

    At least, that's how it works for other software.

  9. Of course they can on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 1

    I was crying by the time I finished the first level in Daikatana.

  10. Re:Pathetic on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 4, Funny

    > People actually pay for lessons for skills that are useless away from video games?

    So it's mostly just like college, then.

  11. Re:Yes... on Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006 · · Score: 3, Funny

    The Department of Redundancy dept. would like to have a word with you, Bill.

  12. Re:Who the hell is Forbe? on Slashback: AMD/ATI, Tokamak Fusion, Laptop Privacy · · Score: 1

    Forbe? He's Furby's cousin.

  13. Re:Health reasons? on India Rejects One Laptop per Child Program · · Score: 1

    > What, is he afraid that India will turn into a country where everyone has a really muscular right arm?

    No, he's afraid that most children who'll get one will die of starvation/exhaustion from trying to rotate (or is it pull now?) the generator handle.

  14. Re:So why not just give Ibooks? on India Rejects One Laptop per Child Program · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Sure, maybe Apple could figure out how to make a $100 limited iBook, but they're a private company rather than a nonprofit, so how would that help their shareholders?

    They can just double the price of their regular laptops. This won't hurt them because their fanboys won't admit or notice that there was a price increase.
  15. Pics on 24 Hours with G4 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Be careful when searching the net for pics, or you may end up with this on your monitor.

  16. Second Rule? on When Doing PR For Anti-Spam Firm... Don't Spam · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is the second rule "you DO NOT talk about spam"?
    I don't see how that would work considering they need to advertise an anti-spam product.

  17. Re:Blatantly obvious to even the most casual obser on TiVo to Measure Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    Of course it's obvious people are skipping commercials, but the value here is in the information about what ads are more likely to FFed, how the timing and relevance affects the numbers, etc.

  18. Re:counting how many skip ads on TiVo to Measure Ad-Skipping · · Score: 1

    Signed or unsigned?

  19. Lemonparty on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    I hope they aren't gonna go after them! Lemon party does sounds like something children might want to do, but even more so, it sounds (acts, and looks!) like a political party.

  20. Re:Congresscritter mentality on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 2, Interesting
    some right-wingers have this idea stuck in their head that the pr0n on the internet is there for the children

    Actually, "save the children" is extremely popular with the left, too. From a FA linked in TFA:

    "I appreciate the willingness of all members to put aside unrelated controversial issues* so that we could focus on the core purpose of this bill--protecting children," Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid

    *- out of context, but are those "controversial issues" some pork projects hidden in the 163-page bill?

  24. Re:The Dawn of Open Source Networking? wtf? on OS Router Challenges Proprietary Networking · · Score: 1
    Actually, they did notice IPTABLES. That was sort of the whole point of starting the project.

    But they still didn't notice what actually mattered: Packet Filter.
