    Holy shit. I remember that article, but re-reading it now... wow.

    The quality of politicians often mirrors the majority of the voting population.

  4. Sweet Webcast Software on Third Falcon 1 Launch May Be This Afternoon · · Score: 1

    Hope the rest of the launch goes better than this: http://i35.tinypic.com/2nkuy3a.jpg

    It's already been done, they called it Chromehounds.

  6. Next up... on Utah Votes 'No' to Darwin's Critics · · Score: 1

    I'm interested to see how close the "World is/is not flat" vote is. After that, the "Witches do/do not exist" will be another barn-burner. Hooray for progress!

  7. Re:Well, that's a big shocker. on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    Silly goose, you're a Libertarian!

  8. I hope so on Adobe Acquiring Macromedia on December 3, 2005 · · Score: 1

    "Does this mean the end for Fireworks and Freehand?"

    God I hope so. What steaming piles.

  9. Re:I am not excited on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 1

    Get your facts straight. It does play all Xbox games, games AREN'T 60 dollars (They're 50, just like now) and there are no HD DVD's on store shelves yet to play anyway.

  10. Holy long-winded statment of the obvious! on Don't Click on the Blue E · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why oh why should it take 254 pages to explain what the book title does in 6 words (5 and a letter)? If my mom (or yours for that matter, heh) asks for advice, I tell them where to get a good browser, they install it, and they run it. End of story. No need to spend twenty bucks and read a novel to figure it out.

  11. Re:Expectations on Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement? · · Score: 1

    Consider also the fact that today's young (and soon-to-be) voters express a resounding sense of empathy when it comes to privacy matters. Evidently, simple principle isn't enough to motivate anymore. Today's average voter: "Hmm, I don't really think I like what either the democrat or the republican are saying... but I have to choose between the two! I'll vote for the guy who drank the most beer." http://www.lp.org/

  12. Re:Well, duh. on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 1

    Well then what's the big deal? Joe-AOL downloads a .rar file, but can't open it (and expose the nasty files) because he doesn't have WinRAR. This is a security risk HOW?

  13. Well, duh. on New Virus Attacks Via RAR Files · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    .rar files can be self-extracting like zip files, so they pose the same security risk. I can't belive that nobody's exploited this until now.

  14. The future is now on Ethical Questions For The Age Of Robots · · Score: 1

    Should we be like robots?

    Very true. I find it hilarious that I got modded as flamebait -- we speak nothing but truth.

  16. Bullsh** detector on It's Not About The Technology · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When looking at a brochure-style website dealing with services or products, count how many times the word "solution" is used. The higher the number, the more full of crap they are. The all-time record is held by ibm.com.

  17. Re:but business hammocks? on Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Hammock District was part of Cypress Creek, not Springfield.

    -1 to your nerd points.

    "Information collected from entrants is subject to the Eight Days, Inc. Privacy Policy, available at Sponsor's web site, http://HOTorNOT.com"

    I'm at work and can't check that site's policy (for obvious reasons); does this mean I'm gonna get junk?

  21. The process of EA creating a character on EA Takes The Sims 'Street' With The Urbz · · Score: 5, Funny

    -- And thus a dog was born, "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show"

    It's now time for our animator, the exact twin of David Silverman, to
    perform his magic and give form to the concept...

    [Silverman draws a standard dog]
    Myers: No, no, no! He was supposed to have attitude.
    Silverman: Um... wh-what do you mean, exactly?
    Myers: Oh, you know, attitude, attitude! Uh... sunglasses!
    Lady: Could we put him in more of a "hip-hop" context?
    Krusty: Forget context, he's gotta be a surfer. Give me a nice
    shmear of surfer.
    Lady: I feel we should Rasta-fy him by... 10 percent or so.
    [the resulting dog is rather... proactive]
    [all stare at it w/o any expression]
    Myers: Hmm... I think he needs a little more attitude.
    [Silverman blackens in Poochie's sunglasses]
    All Three: [variously] Oh, yeah, bingo. Yeah, that's it! There it is,
    right there! I love it!

  23. Re:If this is new it ain't very new on Stoplights to Mete Out Punishment? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I grew up the town over from Herndon, and these speed-trap lights have been in use there for 20 years at least. Far back as I can remember. It's not just on Herndon Parkway, it's on other roads in town too. Herndon is notorious for pillaging the pocketbooks of its drivers.

  25. Performance? on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 2, Interesting

    OK, the article says that it's got 1mbps symmetrical, which is huge. But, what kind of latency will we be talking about here? After all, that's what really matters in games. Any new subscribers/beta testers want to pipe up?
