    It's not pink, it's salmon coloured!

  2. Re:Porn screws up enjoying reality for guys on Pr0n's Effect On Society · · Score: 1
    I find most porn boring now. They all have the same tired looking blonds and they all portray sex the same way. The men are frequently being hostile to the woman (I thought straight guys liked woman?) which is a real turn off to me. I'd rather see a cute real world girl anyday.
    Well said. Another thing that is a turnoff for me is the old tired cum-in-your-face at the end. My god it is boring.

    These days, I find myself being turned off just by browsing web sites that have porn banners on them, because those thing have to be the most unimaginative thing on this planet. Maybe I should start collecting them, and make them into some sort of collage, or montage. I'd call it: "The downfall of erotica".

  3. Re:And the bit about addiction on Pr0n's Effect On Society · · Score: 1

    Well, perhaps a porn addiction can cause an imbalance in your sexuality (sexual mentality), causing difficulties in coping with other people's sexuality?

    I think it might upgrade in a sense, it has for me sometimes. I think it just depends on your hormone levels. But it's not permanent for me either, right now I'm really, really bored by harder stuff, and I've actively sought out photographs, good softcore or erotica. By which I mean stuff made by real photographers, pictures that are beautiful on their own, with no real need for nudity even.

    But maybe some people don't get numbed by the hardcore stuff, or their hormone leves just never descend to normality.

    There's a better pic over here.

    And just to disprove myself... autorun doesn't work on USB storage media. Bummer.

    The difference can be removed by the magical file autorun.inf in the root of the drive:

    That's easy. If no face can be recognized, but the wearer is still talking, then the other person is really bored.

    It could even go:

    "The person in front of you seems to be bored stiff from your rants on the evils of DRM. Would you like to..?

    • Write a letter to Sony Corp.
    • Change subject to the glory of Open Source
    • Learn more about boring people stiff

    I mean, it's the perfect sex toy for geeks in need of company. The more the woman is bored by his endless talk about computers, the more it vibrates!

    I leave it to the reader to imagine where, and on who, the appliance is applied.

    Simple, if the UA string contains 'Opera', then you're dealing with Opera. It's possible to remove it, but it requires more than just selecting a default UA string.

  13. Re:Say what?!? on NASA Priorities Out of Whack? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes, it flies off and then falls back down to the ground like any other rock or object. No air means there is nothing to keep the dust floating, it just falls down.

  14. Re:Classic centralization argument. on The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart · · Score: 1

    Hm, but in Finland those kind of things are covered by our system, but only a part of the cost. Not sure what the percentage is, and it varies anyway. And some things, like expensive things that you bring onto yourself (expensive dental care for example) are not covered. Even so, it's possible to get a separate health insurance if you want, but it seems it's usually baked into a larger package like home insurance (both stuff&people).

  15. Re:By my calculation ... on ILM's Datacenter · · Score: 1

    It's probably already backed up, so you move the backups first, see how they fare, then move the masters. You'll get only half the transfer rate though.

    The real question is:

    If 3000 disks are spun up in the forest, and no-one is there to listen, will there still be a nationwide blackout?

  17. Re:Price Point on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    Ah, well Elite was released first on the BBC Micro actually, IIRC. It's usually the game I think of whenever anyone says "that cool space game from the olden times (or thereabout)".

  18. Re:Price Point on Revolution Horsepower Revealed · · Score: 1

    The game you are thinking about was "the game that invented the space trading genre": Elite. It was highly popular on several platforms, and the sequels were nice too, though buggy.

  19. Re:Classic centralization argument. on The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart · · Score: 1

    That doesn't make any sense. Why would competitors be driven out of business? It would only be a base-level health insurance, not the all-expenses-paid-in-full kind, that would be insane.

    Long hair does require more maintenance to look ok, though, and some people just don't look good with long hair at all.

    Uhm, but you're ignorant if you say that clothes don't partly define a person. I mean, a person who looks like shit, there has to be a reason for that choice, right?

    I recommend a flash drive instead. It will beat the masses into stupefied submission, since if they think too hard, they lose half their brain when the chip fails from too much swapping.

    Good camerawork will improve a movie in ways that you really won't realize unless you actively look for it. It's not just about having the camera move and zoom to show what the actors are doing.

    Also, imagination is good, but currently it isn't directly transmittable to other imagination processors.
