  2. Re:Not To Play Devil's Advocate on Kiss Technology Counters MPlayer GPL Arguments · · Score: 1
    But why they were even looking to see how KISS's stuff worked is a bit curious.
    ...Is that supposed to be a pun?

    I've got a netgear wireless/ethernet router. Know what? I ran strings on it. Why? Because 1) I wanted to hack MY new router, and 2) because I was "curious".

    That way an email which has words that are deliberately mis-spelt or broken up by punctuation or even spaces will still increase it's spam score.

    Pretty sure we all did that.

    Just goes to show you. Sure, you may all spurn my naked pics now, but just wait until I'm done with my operating system! Then you'll all be scrambling for CuervoPr0n on slashdot!

    Hi, I'd like to make a reservation for the lynching, please.

    Two pitchforks... how much are torches? Sure, I'll reserve a couple of torches, as well.

    Will there be an open bar?

    Unfortunately, DarlCam will also be closing around New Year's.

    I love this comic.

  13. Re:Vega is too big and to young on Dusty Disc May Mean Other Earths · · Score: 1
    Maybe. Maybe not. Earth alone is a pretty small sample size to base inferences from. (It's all we have, of course, but still.) Theoretically, it doesn't necessarily take 3.5 billion years for life to get going.

    Exactly; life might have even started around there [relatively] immediately. All we have to go on is the Earth, and maybe we were just really, really slow.

    "Too short for commercial breaks"?

    Man, they're three bloody minutes long. The commercial breaks are the 7 days[0] between episodes. It works out to worse than the spam-to-signal ratio in /var/spool/mail/cuervo right now.
