  1. Re:Each sex is defined by the needs of the other on Are Women Getting More Beautiful? · · Score: 1

    It is not, a well developed humor and the practice of humor in the public shows a well developed mind able to handle social interactions and confidence in one's self.

  2. Re:Good idea. on Chinese "Web Addicts" Get Boot Camp, Therapy · · Score: 1

    Usually those brainwashings doesn't make people kill other people.

  4. So what shall one use now? on Firefox 3.5RC2 Performance In Windows Vs. Linux · · Score: 1

    When Firefox on Linux is getting the crap treatment from its developers, what shall one use now?

  5. Linux? on StarCraft II Beta Signups Open · · Score: 1

    They got a version for the Mac architecture... Yet no binaries that would run on GNU/Linux, bad bad bad Blizzard! You think I am going to buy a game I can't play?

  6. Re:Sin tax? on When Politicians Tax Violent Video Games · · Score: 1

    By real crime you mean people who refuse to pay their sin taxes and people who smoke pot id est people who did no actual harm to anyone else. I rather have the false alarms to keep the police busy!

  7. Re:Rubbin' salt on the old wounds! on Microsoft Asks For a Refund From Laid-Off Workers [updated] · · Score: 1

    But all work, resources and efforts could have been so much better spent if the window wasn't broken in the first place!

  8. Re:Sounds fine to me on Student Arrested For Classroom Texting · · Score: 1

    Obviously not being able to be an asshole towards your students makes for the best education as Japan is in the top 5 while US is way way way behind.

  9. Re:Just Like When He Led Microsoft on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hmm, not a bad idea, trading HIV for the experience of sex. Not everyday a geek will get such a tempting opportunity.

  10. Re:Distros don't matter on Torvalds Rejects One-Size-Fits-All Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Linus Torvalds is definitely not against forking, his the source management tool(GIT) makes a new fork everytime someone clones the and makes a change to it. Their is no official kernel though Linus Torvalds' branch is by historical reasons the one that is being focused on by the community and by Linus Torvalds himself of course.

    GIT creates a completely new way of developing, a distributed source and anyone can use anyone at any time. On a speech held by Linus Torvalds he mentioned that there was this guy that forked and kept updating an old kernel for a very long time. Just cause he wanted to...

  11. Re:HAHAHAHAHA on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 1

    I don't see how buying a copy of a game from a store makes a very good support to a game company considering the publisher, store and so on gets a cut of that money. Maybe next time I'll just send the game company itself a pile of money equal to the store cost. Then I would be supporting the company 100% minus posting and handling instead.

  12. I have had enough! I am beocmming a pirate on DRM Shuts Down PC Version of Gears of War · · Score: 1

    I was totally pissed and confused about this... One day I was happily playing the Gears of War I bought and then the next day when I wanted to resume my adventure. Noooo, the game says I can't play with a modified size on the executable. GREAT! Just GREAT!

    They sure put me in place, who am I who payed this to be enjoying their products. Only pirates are allowed to enjoy their products. I certainly was taught a lesson. I will make no more game purchase, that is for sure. Now I have been let down twice by DRM, the first time when my whole satisfactory feeling was lost after I got to know Fallout 3 had installed a rootkit and now this.

    To hell with their monopoly privileges on information and the witch-hunt on honest customers. I can't take it anymore! From now on, my money does not go to game companies.

  13. haha on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 0

    Blame Al Gore, he created the internet, or so I heard... :D ohh, my stomach, I can't stop laughing!!!

  14. Games on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    But will it play Crysis... This is the most pressing concern for the Linux community if they really want to expand their userbase. Playing the games right out of the box.

  15. Re:WTF?! on Nation-Wide Internet Censorship Proposed For Australia · · Score: 1

    Merely speaking never changed anything on its own, non-cooperation is needed.

  16. Little return for the money on Mars Lander Snaps the Most Detailed Pics Yet · · Score: 1

    And how much did that cost us? Come'on, dismantle NASA and let private pioneers launch space ventures. This is becoming ridiculous, individuals launches spaceships for a fraction of the cost that NASA do. Lets face it, NASA may have once been a great institution. But that was then, now they can't compete and ought not even try.

  19. Re:What nonsense on California Utilities to Control Thermostats? · · Score: 1

    How Orweillian, you blame people doing transaction on a concentual basis with each other. How about blaming the real problem? Government idiotic regulation such as licensing to prevent new people to enter the market. Outlawing of building new nuclear plants and so on and on and on and on and on... ... ...?

  21. Communism on California Utilities to Control Thermostats? · · Score: 0

    In communist russia thermostates regulate you... Wait something is wrong in this picture, ohh nooo. It is not communist russia it is the land of the free america where thermostates now regulates you.

    If government would be staying out of energy provision. This would have been a market that would cater to their customers needs and higher demands means opportunity for profits. But as it is a state operation now higher demand doesn't mean profit opportunity but higher expenses. It is totally anti-efective and contradictory of what reality.

    I for one do not welcome our new communist overlords, they may say it will be nothing big. But when did the state not abuse a power they have had?

  23. EVE was buggy when I tested it... on EVE-Online Patch Makes XP Unbootable · · Score: 1

    I got a temporary account lasting one month from Dreamhack in Sweden and I was really disappointed by the buggy software constantly segfaulting. Didn't get me as a customer because of that. Why? Why, do they release awful code?

    While harakiri is a Japanese tradition in modern china the government just shoots you for the disgrace you cause the country.

  25. Re:Is it established now, Luna was created by impa on Earth's Moon is a Rarity · · Score: 1

    Hu? Are you being sarcastic? From what I can acknowledge as sensible theories it could have been formed by an impact or it could have been formed from lumping together materia like planet(oid) and surely large satellites plausibly could form. Or?
