  1. Re:They're worse than the crimals themselves on What Do You Think of Online Vigilantes? · · Score: 1

    There are no properties in several cases. Who do you call to prevent abuse form rouge nations who we don't have treaties with? In hese cases it's easy to argue that since my country can't extridite them the abusers country can't extradite me. Then the old root kit followed by a rm -rf / solves my problem. This is of course a theortical case and not to be used as evidence against me.

  5. Re:He just doesn't get it on Hawking Gracefully, Formally Loses Black Hole Bet · · Score: 1

    Ok lets see what we got with these three things.
    1.) Exstinction..stuff dies so what
    2.) New species..ok this is true what is lacking
    is something beyond the sepecies line. Show me a new family. This would
    be necessary for evolution. Yeah you can take two species of dog and interbreed them but the result is still a dog. If you can get two dogs to prodouce anything but a dog I would be impressed. Bacteria is the same way. Get it
    to prdouce a more complex lifeform thats not a bacteria. Here's where evolution takes a leap of faith. It assumes that since you can make new species you can make the leap to new genus's, new families, all the way up the taxinomic chain. THIS HAS NEVER BE OBSERVED.

    3.) Cloning a sheep proves even less as the result is a genetic replicant of the original. Again show me a sheep producing something besides a sheep.

    So I listen to classical remixed into techno. Please mod as painfully insightful as I'm not joking. Ok I am , I have no real urge to be a manager, but classical remixes rock.

    My company is still the proud owner of a vax.

    It's runs an enitre depratement and we love it.

    Most people's problem with the vax is caused by

    their reckless disregard for safety.

  15. Re:Reality is absolute on Lysergically Yours · · Score: 1
    Reality is by defintion not subjective.

    See websters definition

    ". The state or quality of being real; actual being or existence of anything, in distinction from mere appearance; fact."

    Reality is seperate from appearnce and hence it is not subjective.

    Fonzi jumped a shark and all the other tv show are doing it.

  17. Reality is absolute on Lysergically Yours · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sadly reality isn't an agreement, it's a absolute. A man may think he can fly while on drugs but his perceptions won't keep him alive if he jumps off a building.

    To get away with murder you have to be rich and famous. SCO is only rich, and soon they won't even have that going for them. No one likes Mcbride, this why he'll loose regardless of all else. OJ won his freedom mainly because of the football fans in the jury.

    "FWOOMP!" isn't a bad sound. Gernade lauchers make a FWOOMP sound when fired.

  25. Re:Good introduction to Anime? on Ghost in the Shell 2 in Theaters Late This Summer · · Score: 1

    "Whatever you do, do not watch Inu Yasha. I stayed up late one night to see what was on, and gave up on anime when I saw Inu Yasha. "

    I assume you saw the sad, sad english dub of this.
    I knew it was a bad sign when they kept mispronouceing the name in the commericals. See it in japanese if you can. It's really a good show.
    So much was taken out of the show for the english version and what was left was poorly translated.
