  1. Re:Don't visit the Exploratorium on Mars Rovers At Smithsonian And Exploratorium Now · · Score: 1

    Heh.

    Alternately, a person can be very secure in their beliefs, and doubt the credibility of an ostensibly scientific institution which uses non-scientific processes.

  2. Re:Shurikens on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Umm... someone who likes venison, and is hungry?

  3. Re:This is true for more than just this scream on History of a Famous Star Wars Scream · · Score: 1

    Wilhelm is also an Elf in TTT as he gets knocked off Helm's Deep...

    Woulda been funnier if they'd used Wilhelm for the death of an Oliphaunt/Mumakil...

  4. Re:Hello Mr. Cavebear on Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims · · Score: 1

    If you're going to waste so much space responding, how about you address what the man fucking said?

    It was a statement about a racist statement, not national policies, dumbass.

  5. Re:That's nothing on The Matrix Trailers, Reloaded and Re-Encoded · · Score: 1

    When I first saw it, I thought the second one was pretty good. Part of this was the distinct feeling that we were building up to the answers to some BIG issues in the third movie. When the 3rd kinda wussed out, I think it tainted the second movie for a lot of fans.

  6. Re:On a related note... on Interview with Peter Jackson on LoTR Bloopers · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yup, she and the little boy next to her (in all 3 scenes) are PJ's kids. Reportedly the boy is the only cast member who didn't need a wig...already had hobbit hair

  7. Re:the FDA? on Slashback: Hilbert's, Transgenic, Silicon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because a day-glow fish is highly likely to become food :)

  8. Re:Um, no on Microsoft to Charge for FAT File System · · Score: 1

    Win2K as well.

    The story I hear is either (a) the driver in ON the thumb drive and instantly loads (2K) or (b) The winderz kernel has support built in (XP).

  9. OT on SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack · · Score: 1

    No, no, we are doing nothing to prevent those for entirely different reasons...

  10. Re:nerds? on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I fall into the 'computer geek' category, I dunno what the limitations of nerd vocabulary are.

    Also, there are many kinds of geek. While I am a computer geek, I am not a 'Car geek' like some folks I know, or 'trek geek', etc.

    Maybe a 'knives geek' tho...

  11. Re:nerds? on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    My shorthand (and kinda harsh) definition is:
    nerds != geeks.... geeks get laid.

  12. Re:East LA on Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles · · Score: 1

    I dunno... I grew up in LA, but I rarely see the slang written down, y'know?

  13. Re:ah, simple country folk on Largest Citywide Wi-Fi Deployment · · Score: 1

    Of what? New York ?:)

  14. Re:ah, simple country folk on Largest Citywide Wi-Fi Deployment · · Score: 1

    Heh, as opposed to LA, which only got subways in the last 10 years?

  15. Re:East LA on Warflying 2013 Access Points in Los Angeles · · Score: 1

    many meanings... in this contact it is more like "man", as in:

    Hey man, whatchu think you're doin'?

    Jus' a little flame...

  17. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Many good points here...

    To answer your questions:

    Do you agree with this?

    Yes. Technically you are correct. 'Sharing' still seems to be akin to theft, but they are legally distinct.

    I certainly hope that you can agree that my view on the subject is just a bit different than some, as oppose to a self-righteous fit of some sort.

    I do. Well thought out differing opinions are always welcome!

  18. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily. You could just be full of hot air (cymbal crash)

  19. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Perhaps because the majority of the people _don't_ disagree with me and just because you want the world to change doesn't make the old ideas bad?

    Any no, I'm not really an idiot. Sometimes I'm really an asshole. Today I'm just a guy.

    I knew you were gonna say that too. I'm on a roll.

    Yup. Amazing isn't it?

  22. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Fair enough. I don't dismiss ACs as such... they may have a good reason. What I DO dismiss is someone who, because they are anonymous, becomes a total asshole (doesn't apply to you, sir/ma'am).

    I must have an old PC, cuz my balls don't grow 10x in size when I get on the internet...

  23. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Assuming you refer to my sig... it is a reference to a lot of BS I see in the OSS community. The joyous blend of intelligence and little discretion :)

    Incidently, force preserves more freedoms than politics (although war is just extreme politics... hmm...)

  24. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Because I made it. Me. Alone. No one else. I am not asking about elements of law, I am asking for a reason why my work should be any more stealable (?) than someone else's.

    I would argue that waaaaay too many people are eager to give away other people's rights.

  25. Re:Sigh, bring on the negative mods... on Head Of ATF To Direct RIAA Anti-Piracy · · Score: 1

    Not to be a smartass (seriously) but you can't be forced to steal, except maybe food.

    A Lexus is not cheap, but that doesn't mean it is ok for me to steal it if I want it.

    The winners are the folks who think of a better way (like iTunes and the many clones), and they succeed without breaking the laws or socially acceptable behavior.
