  1. Re:Where to buy? on How America Changed the Mario Brothers · · Score: 1

    i thought the "lost levels" included in later releases of SMB was the japanese mario 2.

  2. vortex on Walmart Tries to Emulate MySpace · · Score: 1

    summon greater vortex of infinite suck

  3. Re:child labor laws? on Hong Kong Using Children to Hunt for Piracy · · Score: 1

    i was thinking along the lines of Hitler Youth

  4. i wish..... on Virtual Reality Gaming System Tests for Telepathy · · Score: 1

    i wish my highschool had tought me telepathy

    then again they would ban it as a threat to exam security any telepaths would be prohibited from seeing secret documents and we would end up eventually rounding "them" up and putting them in "internment" camps

  5. Re:Barcodes next ? on Virus Jumps to RFID · · Score: 1

    at work i crashed a portable barcode scanner/printer accidentally by missing what was in my hand and scanning a code printed on the side of a cardboard case.

  6. blowjobs? on Beginning GIMP · · Score: 1

    well shit, i want to be a CEO

  7. Re:No rechargable batteries? on More Wii-mote Info · · Score: 1

    i should rephrase that, most Li-ion batteries expire due to time not usage, incorrect recharging can shorten the lifespan and heavy use will affect the battery, but the biggest enemy of Li-ion batteries is time.

  8. Re:No rechargable batteries? on More Wii-mote Info · · Score: 1

    NiMH batteries die as a function of usage, Li-ion batteries die as a function of time.

  9. Re:Yay on Fully Open Source NTFS Support Under Linux · · Score: 1

    filesystem drivers are not like office document filters, 99.5% correct is great for documents, if the filesystem driver is 99.5% it's still dead wrong and will screw up your machine

  10. Re:"junk" DNA on The Biggest Piece Of DNA Ever Made · · Score: 1

    adding junk data does not protect against %damage because the quantity of damage goes up proportionally to the amount of junk

    it is much more likely that junk dna is really just "compressed" or "encrypted" DNA. not in a deliberate sense so much as some processes rather than reading straight off a segment of DNA use one part to decide what parts of what other strands to read and produce RNA from.

  11. Re:Not the best idea on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 1

    you can if you are rich enough, but you have to pay tuition on top of your local school taxes. at least that is how it is around here

  12. Re:Not the best idea on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 1

    there are group activities for kids such as boy scouts, summer camp programs, YMCA and just plaing old going down to the park and shooting hoops

    children NEED classroom style teaching about as much as they need a hole in the head

  13. Re:Terrible Idea on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    doubleclick is annoying and uses popups, they also use obnoxious flsh advertisements.

    the first time a google ad pops up or starts talking to me their ad servers will get put in the hosts file just like doubleclick

  14. Re:Passwords on Debian Locks Out Developers · · Score: 2, Funny

    dictionary attack with custom dictionaries (star wars, star trek, LoTR, DnD, Shadowrun, david weber, william gibson)

    that will result in a devastating number of password cracks.

  15. RADIUS on How Do You Handle Ethernet Port Management? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    i would suggest using a RADIUS login to manage user access

    since RADIUS was originally designed for ISP's managing users it is good dealing with hostile clients and other riffraff as long as you are on a switched network

  16. Re:Terrible Idea on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    what are you talking about?
    are you confusing adwords with those annoying mouse-over inline ads that look like funny hyperlinksw?

  17. Re:CPA good for google, but... on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    not anymore, most of the good ones nowadays will only delete known tracking cookies due to people not using the tool if it logs them out of their forums and hotmail

  18. Re:why do they care? on Google's Click-Fraud Crackdown · · Score: 1

    1 in 400 ad impressions resulted in a sale? or was that 1 in 400 clicks resulted in a sale.

    the former would be pretty great the latter not so much

  19. CRAB BATTLE on Millions of King Crabs Turn Sea to Desert · · Score: 1

    crab battle!

  20. Re:I'm doing my part on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 1

    set the NTFS permissions on program files/mozilla firefox/ to allow users to write/edit files

    you can also install firefox to the user profiles directly instead of /program files/ install to documents and settings/username/programs/ (you have to make the/programs file but it won't break anything)

  21. Re:Linux on ' Naughty Bits' Decision Not So Nice · · Score: 1

    if they wanted to do this right, they would sell DVD software that would be able to read a data file to know what parts to skip to clean a DVD, with the disc itself sold whole from a rack of discs that the player is programmed to know how to censor at various levels, doing so would be pretty easy, and it would be a stretch to say a list of time spans that naughty things happen constitutes a dereivitive work

  22. Re:Narcissism on MySpace #1 US Destination Last Week · · Score: 1

    myspace was originally meant to be a music networking site, that is why there are so many indie bands on it.

    the flash music players allow fans to "advertise" their favorite band to their friends.

  23. Linux on ' Naughty Bits' Decision Not So Nice · · Score: 3, Interesting

    if the court had gone the other way, the GPL would be fucked

    each copy of linux would be aquired legally then modified and resold, perhapse loaded with DRM or otherwise corrupted, and since the company no longer needs permission to resell legally aquired but modified works the GPL would have no teeth

    this was a good decision

  24. Re:MySQL? on Oracle to Offer RedHat Support? · · Score: 1

    i don't know about that. if a client has a system deployed which has components using both MySQL and Oracle it would make sense from a business standpoint not to shut down your business and wair for a rewrite to put it all into oracle

    especially if it is a combination of a centralized oracle database and a group of smaller decentralized MySQL databases which would be too expensive to license Oracle for each instance

    for example a hotel chain which does local room management and reservations on a custom made MySQL application but the main customer database as well as business records are collected in a large Oracle database for centralized access


    keeping the reservation system for each location at the location means a network uplink failure will not prevent access to the reservations system and saves money not paying for a copy of oracle for every single hotel location when you really only need it for corporate headquarters

  25. Re:Well... on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look · · Score: 1

    earlier i did not realize he was talking about professional gear, with any point and shoot that saves as jpeg or bitmap you can just blug it in and linux hand;es the rest.

    he wants raw procesing, which you pretty much must have your manufacturers raw software to do right
