  1. Re:What shap haven't we had on Is the Universe Shaped Like a Funnel? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next year the scientists of the world will get together, and agree that the Universe was created from a giant sneeze, BEWARE THE COMING OF THE GIANT WHITE HANKEY!

  2. Re:Profitable, a la restaurant a la carte. on A La Carte Cable TV Channels? · · Score: 1

    They probably won't do something like that, but another method I've thought about that will really maximize their profits, and making it inconcievable to go ala carte for anything more than 3 channels. The could offer 40 channels of their choosing as usual, for the regular 30 bucks a month, or charge everyone seven bucks for each channel. After you buy your fourth channel you'll be losing money. Personally I only watch Comedy Central, so I hope it passes and passes fast.

  3. Re:Search Warrent on Automobile Black Box Sends Driver to Jail · · Score: 1

    Cars are exempt from the fourth amendment. Why? Because they're mobile. For a search warrent to be issued for your home, it has to go through a judge, but for a search warrent isn't needed to search a car, only one thing is required: The cop has to have probable cause, which is always at the cop's whim, not a judge.

  5. Re:Did anyone notice any effect on CAN-SPAM before on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 1

    The CAN-SPAM law actully quadroupled the amount of spam I get now, and only 25% of that spam actully follows the guidelines of the law, with putting a mail contact address on the bottom of the spam. The majority is still the same old stuff, with half-assed l33t to bypass spam filters, and nothing but a website to visit for the latest penis enhancement or hot lesbian teen girls website. It generated more spam, and only a tiny bit of that newly generated spam follows the rules.

    I have a hammer that disagrees with that statement.

  7. Re:They should be in jail on Gator Files for IPO to Raise $150 Million · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely right, my friend's brother once had such a vast amount of spyware that his mouse was literally LAGGING. This on a fairly new computer, we're not talking about a 286, and the cursor was actully lagging behind the movements of the mouse.

  8. Re:No authentication leads to abuse... on Overseas Crooks Abuse TTY Phone Service · · Score: 1

    Actully it depends on the credit card company. Visa takes the bite out of their own profits, while Discover charges the merchant. This is probably why Discover isn't accepted in as many places as Visa.

  9. Re:I want on Auto-Censoring DVD Player · · Score: 0, Insightful

    Censorship is BAD. It always has been and it always will be.

    Did Quentin Terrintino make Kill Bill so that a six year old can watch it? No they didn't. That's why all the movies have that little thing called a "rating". If you don't like nudity or excessive violence or sexual innuendo or drug use or cursing, then you won't watch a movie that's rated "R".

    The people that make these movies do so because they want people to see them the way it was made. The director takes the script and makes it his/her own work of art. Censoring even one word from the movie is detracting from the vision the director had when the movie was made.

    If you want to enjoy more movies you should try getting that tree branch out of your ass, and stop taking things so literally. If you find a lot of movies to be offensive in some way, it might be possible that your taste is the problem, and not the movie producer's.

    Crazy? You forgot to prefix the "IANAP". Even people that arn't psychologists are aware of the different interests people have. What makes one interest more disturbing than another? You seem to have a healthy obsession with early 90's style html on your homepage, does that make you any more crazy than someone who has a fixation on death?

    Do the world a favor and leave the psychoanalysis to the people that go to school for it.

  11. Re:Short answer: No. on Forget Mars. Should We Go To The Moon? · · Score: 1

    Evolution isn't about choice, it's about survival. If the entire planet were to suddenly become something like the movie "Waterworld", the human race would most likely perish, and so would a lot of land based creatures, with the exception of insects, amphibians, and reptiles. Would you be able to suddenly sprout gills because the time called for it? Of course not, you'd have a kid that would have gills, and that kid would outlive all the other kids around the block.

    Tux was always so innocent in my eyes. He's like a nice wholesome character you can get all your friends to worship. I had no idea he was a necrophile.

    That'd be a neat idea for a movie... people actully INSIDE computers. They could interact with all the programs and stuff... OH! and the person could get arrested by the police, we'll call em ICP's, and they could race a really neat motorcycle to get out. They'd be called a maniac program because they claimed to BE a user, and thus not needing one. Perfect!

    Our environment wasn't designed to adapt to the growth we encounter as an organsim. We grow in physical number and evolve in technology and intelligence much faster than anything else on the planet, but those organsisms have no trouble creating an equilibrium with their surroundings.

  22. Re:The human race was meant for doom. on Mars Terraforming Debate · · Score: 1

    The Earth doesn't make any elements. Some of the people on it have created simple fusion techniques to turn hydrogen into helium, maybe, but that's as far as element creation goes here. Every element up to iron is made in the fusion of a sun, the rest are created in supernovae.

    If you're using an iteration of Windows that's either 2k or XP, I've never used 2k NT kernels so I don't know about those, you can just edit the hosts file in %windir\system32\drivers\etc\ open the file "hosts" that's in that directory with a txt editor and add to your hearts content, just specify either local host or your computer's network IP and ads will come up empty, provided you arn't serving a website.
