  1. pets on Metal Velcro · · Score: 1

    This is all fine and dandy untill someone gets a metal dog near it.

    Velco + dog hair = no more working velco unless majorly cleaned.

    Not to mention what happens if someone comes along with a magnet? London bridge may very well fall down!

  2. Online gangs on Flash Mob Gang Warfare · · Score: 5, Funny

    Haven't they heard of Quake? what kinda (in)sane person even leaves the house to have a fight these days, we've got good enough connections to act like real men and hit each other with crowbars without having to move at all.

  3. Re:Loop of life now? on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 0

    yes but you see thats the thing.

    HIV turns into new cure virus, cure virus gets killed and removes HIV at the same time

    Person gets raped again.

    Alternatively how do we know that two sets of HIV (HIV type 1 and 2 say) meets this new "Anti" HIV thing? It could in theory be over powered and diluted untill it was near invalid.

  4. Loop of life now? on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 0

    This seems ineffective to me unless it's a permant cure. Rape is common in many third world countries simplely because they can get away with it. If you can "cure" someone HIVs it won't stop the men raping other people with HIV and then spreading it round again.

    Unless it's to prevent it (and not just stop it), what's the point? It'll work in the richer countries but in the countrys where HIV and AIDs are the biggest killers it's like peeing on a forest fire.

  5. Win an award then stab you in the back? on Google to Distribute Image Ads, Plans Email List Service · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I thought Google just won an award for it's services and how well it was doing acording to the users.

    So now they change it all around and go "NYA! POP UPS NEXT!". We all know pop ups is the next step after this, how long is it untill google trys them "for a while"?

  6. Hmm.. on The Security Risk of Keyboard Clicks · · Score: 1

    80% accuracy?

    So is that like

    Howdy sup m8
    becoming
    HAIL ALLAH! WE BLOW UP OURSELVS TOMORROW!

    Whenever the FBI/CIA/the smurfs want some reason to put us in jail?

  7. Learning education on Education Arcade Brings Learning Experience, Will Wright To E3 · · Score: 1

    Didn't we see this before in the SNES days? Who remembers "Mario is missing" as anything but a crappy game no one wanted to play?

  8. Tin foil hat on 802.11 WiFi Denial of Service Exploit Discovered · · Score: 2, Funny

    pfft, we all know the exploit is covering the targets house in tin foil so it can't penetrate

  9. Rebelion? on Nicholas Petreley Slams Gnome · · Score: 1

    Is this the start of the closed source software companies raging war on open source? Two articles in one day I mean. We really need to watch the open source figures right now. We've all seen Microsoft play dirty before, why wouldn't other companies?

    How long is it untill we start to see companies paying people to virus the open source so they can say "Well when you have the source code you can make any type of virus you wish"?

  10. Wonderful on Tocqueville Blames U.S. IT Troubles On Free Software · · Score: 1

    I bet they own stock in alot of closed source software companies.... Nice to see the cogs are still spinning trying to get rid of better and cheaper software :)

  11. TV on Mars & The Teachable Moment · · Score: 2, Funny

    freaks will get more time on TV (Check Jerry springer) and most people believe TV, so if you put idiots infront of a TV which says "ET will beam you up" they will start packing their bags ready to go.

    If you tell them it's just a very rocky place with no aliens, maybe some very very minor life forms and a former ocean. They go "pfft, it's like a desert, I perfered the green men on NBC and Fox"

    It's the modern world.

  12. 1 CD player and multipule insockets on Building A Museum Listening Station? · · Score: 1

    put it on a loop, if it's only a few seconds it can loop fine. Record it in a loop for say 3 minutes, set the CD player to repeat. If one does get broke it's just ear phones and they can be replaced...

  13. Pokemon world just got alot bigger on GPS for GBA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Theres already alot of evidence that Pokemon regions are based on real places, with the wireless adapter you can goto see the 7th movie and it'll give you a special ticket toaccess the last pokemon in the pokedex not avaible any other way.

    It wouldn't surprize me for them to use the GPS (if they also do it with the DS) so you can wander from tokyo and each area will have different pokemon. It could even make the area around you and turn it into a map (think diablo 2 style but with real stuff). Hell they could have it so as you move your character moves.

    Very unlikely but it'd be a cool idea and might incourage a bit of tourism in Japan.

  14. Re:Need proof? on NYT Discovers Internet's Wild Side: IRC · · Score: 1

    PFFT! REAL IRC users don't care about gender as long as you have the latest GBA roms :P

  15. Child pornography on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If they can hassle people over downloading illegal files surely they could spend their time better and track all the people who have accessed child pornography.

    I guess the RIAA and similar organisations mean more to Comcast then some little girl being abused..

  16. In soviet.. on KDE Conquers Astrophysics With Kst · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In Soviet Russia projects fund the government agencies.... or maybe thats tax.... either way we're getting screwed by top secret agents dressed as penguins riding pink elephants.

  17. In soviet.. on Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida · · Score: -1, Troll

    In Soviet Russia you watch Big brother.... nah I doubt even the soviets are that desprate for entertainment..

  18. Yea I whine on On Gamers Whining About Cheese · · Score: 0

    I've been playing games near 15 years, I've seen it all from Mario kart to Mario sunshine. I've seen every cheesy tactic ever used and they all have one thing in common.

    NO COUNTER. 99% of the moves are used because they are near impossible to counter. Thats the whole point of using them, if there was a counter then people would know it and use it. It's like Bowazons in Diablo 2 before the latest patch. They were near untouchable with the Buriza.

    I refuse to give these people the name "gamers". They are cheats, I could exploit a bug in Windows to screw there PCs up. Does that make it fine? No. Why should I have my game ruined by 5-6 medics bunny hopping all over my base so you can't handle all 6 at once?

    Online gaming is making it so you can't punch people for doing this. You can't walk out (at least it wouldn't matter to them) and generally it's like playing single player now. As far as they are concerned they may as well be playing against bots, plus they arealways the people who suck upto the admins, like hell so they can get you banned through sheer wait of numbers whining about you telling them to stop throwing grenades into your spawn over and over.

  19. Homework on MPAA Funds School Programs In Copyright Dogma · · Score: 0

    If ANY of you have kids going to take these classes then I beg you to type up some binary saying something offensive, or even a song in binary. Get your kid to hand it in and go "Look, This is what the new Britney spears album looks like, you just took that off me, you stole Britney spears new album, I'm going to sue you".

  20. Auto saving? on Save a Chatlog... Go to Prison? · · Score: 0

    Some programs (IRC, MSN right now come to mind) both auto save logs in many cases. Doesn't this mean we're all in trouble?

    Who ever knew a MS product would break the law...

  25. Blocking sites.. on AOL Blocking Spammers' Web Sites · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh yea, lets all block websites so the idiots can't get spam sent to them. God forbid we taught them not to be idiots. Hell lets put them all on Linux, then they won't even be able to find the "Interweb explored" icon and we'll never have to deal with them again... or package forks with a microsoft logo and tell them to insert into a plug socket... either way we win..
