  1. Self-referential? on The Perils of Simplifying Risk To a Single Number · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what's the VaR of using VaR? :)

  2. Wootz? on Ancient Swords Made of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Might I be the first to say... woot?

  3. Re:YESSZZ OMG OMG this is the rockz0rx on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 1

    Throw in the newest pop band, pink on red text, and the tag and you're golden.

  4. Huh? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    I tried a random search with this new service, and, well, see for yourself. Note the "Did you mean". Poor, poor Spain.

  5. Re:Misleading Article on Security Issues in Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Well, actually, it seems as though only the second and third issues were fixed -- if you look at the Bugzilla link mentioned in the first article, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27541 7 (copy 'n paste) shows the bug as NEW, and the comments do show that this hasn't been fixed yet. I tried it with my FF1.0 on Linux and the bug was present.

  6. Re:Not really. on Nader Off Virginia Ballot · · Score: 1

    I agree with you a lot. I don't really believe in political parties that much, they do much more bad than good. I did notice that much of your suggestions (more than two-parties, proportional representation) resemble the Canadian political system. Just something I noticed.

  7. Not really. on Nader Off Virginia Ballot · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Judging from what I've seen of Nader in the past, he's not going to "call it quits". He seems to just want to show people that there is not just a Democratic vote or a Republican vote; quitting would undermine his entire reason for being in the race. I'm sure he'll still have his little 2% taking away from the Democrats come Election Day.

  8. Re:oh come on.. on Counter-Strike - Condition Zero Finally Released · · Score: 1

    Get Cheating Death. I haven't seen any cheaters in a long while.

  9. Re:That's nothing on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1

    I'd just like to say that I really wasn't expecting a +5. I agree, it's not THAT funny. I was really expecting a +3 or +2, and that's it. So please, in a very odd plea, mod me down!

  10. Re:That's nothing on Project Plex-Box · · Score: 1, Funny

    Now all it needs is a 800 lb. grizzly bear controller and it'll be perfect.

  11. What about OS errors? on Microsoft Taking Over the BIOS · · Score: 1

    Recently my Windows installation got really messed up, and so I had to format my disks and reinstall it. If one does format disks, but something goes wrong (power outage?) what happens now?

  12. Basic Comparison on Music Industry Compared to Movie Industry · · Score: 3, Funny

    RIAA: Evil group of people with no morals, who are currently hated by 99% of /. MPAA: Not the RIAA. I think that says something.

  13. Use Klingon! on Users feel Password Rage · · Score: 1

    Learn Klingon, make passwords in it. Barely anyone knows it, so you should be safe. Still, for even more security, you could 1337ize it: t1hIng@n_#01

  14. In tomorrow's /. news... on More Criticism of SCO's Claims To UNIX · · Score: -1, Insightful

    A SCO article that either 1) explains SCO is wrong or 2) tells what stupid thing SCO has done now.

    Seriously, I think we've heard the same thing for quite a while now. 2) is okay to hear about, but 1) gets old real fast.

  15. Re:Good on RIAA Parses 'P2P' As 'Peer 2 Porn' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That brings up a good point. The RIAA is trying to restrict P2P because their "could" be pr0n on it. Wake up, RIAA. The whole friggin' INTERNET "could" have pr0n on it, so why don't we shut it down, for the good of mankind?

    Everything has drawbacks, but sometimes they aren't really that big. You can't just go around being more strict when a little problem arises.

  16. Re:warning labels? on RIAA Parses 'P2P' As 'Peer 2 Porn' · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, and while they're at stating the obvious for stupid people with good lawyers, why not put them outside strip clubs? If only the world had less idiots...

  17. Re:Good on RIAA Parses 'P2P' As 'Peer 2 Porn' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If a person who don't trust sudenly starts doing something for the "common good", wouldn't you be a little suspicious and say "what're you up to?" This could easily be a way to find not just pr0n sharers, but illegal music sharers.

  18. Familar on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or this remind anyone of C&C Generals' China?

  19. Re:A few things we can be sure of on Microsoft to Build High School in Philadelphia, PA · · Score: 2, Funny

    No apples? I guess cafeteria food got even less healthy, if that's even possible...

  20. Re:More importantly, on The 5-Second Rule Investigated · · Score: 1

    I would think so. It could even affect your actual food consumption- not everyone is going to wait 12 hours.

  21. Why Panic the Masses? on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why would you even alert the masses of this? Saying "We were almost all going to die" is akin to saying "You were almost murdered." That would panic the person(s) a lot, and if you didn't tell them they would've been completely happy and fine. Remember, ignorance is bliss!

  22. Re:This is how we elect politicians... on Darwinian Poetry: From Bad to Verse · · Score: 1

    as silly as thinking democracy pushes the best leaders to the top.

    But it does! It elects the lesser of two evils from the two major political parties. I fail to see how that person is not the "best".

  23. Prelude to a movie on Dancing With A Smart Robot · · Score: 1

    And then the socially adept will do the same, and then they'll just have robots do all that for them, and then I think we all know what happens next.

  24. Break-dancing on Dancing With A Smart Robot · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'd like to see it break-dance. It's bring new meaning to "break"-dance.

  25. (Dis)Advantage on California Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    This shows yet another advantage Linux has over Windows, no one has to pay any overcharging lawsuits. Then again, you wouldn't get free money with Linux...
