  1. ! CosPlay on Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame · · Score: 1

    That's not CosPlay, he's a professional. That's a guy doing his job. CosPlay is a fan who has some other sort of job making costumes for fun.

    Someday we might find out they mind how we treat them.

  3. Re:Canada on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 1

    Is that Hulu's fault or the inability of the content owners to come to some sort of agreement with Hulu and Canada's IP system?

    (Serious question, not rhetorical)

  4. Re:Ordering and Convergence on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 1

    This is why double negatives are so stupid. When someone says "It's not bad", they are NOT saying it is good. They are merely excluding the Bad from the quality spectrum. It could be OK or horrific.

  5. Re:Wow... what a worthless article on Obama To Nearly Double the Available Broadband Wireless Spectrum · · Score: 1

    Yes, millihertz is damn tiny/slow. Never heard of gigihertz though.

    Multiples are shown as capital letters, while fractions are lower case. The stupid exception to that is kilo which the dumb seem to think will be confused with Kelvin. It should be capitalized.

  6. Re:why do people work for Raytheon? on Microwave Pain Ray Keeps Frost From Killing Crops · · Score: 1

    "Yea, um, you don't bring freedom and democracy with a gun"

    There's a book that disproves this. It's called History. Freedom and democracy can exist only when no internal or external threat impedes it. Your freedom to wear a watermelon on your head comes from the fact that someone who thinks you shouldn't have that freedom is afraid of the guy who thinks you do. The willingness of a cop or soldier to protect your rights with force is how you have rights at all. It doesn't come from a document or goodwill. It comes from bad guys being afraid to act on their whims. Rapists don't stop because she asks nicely or demands her right to physical autonomy. He might stop if she scratches out his eyes or if someone clobbers him with a chair. Bank robberies would be a daily occurence if there were no armed guards or prisons. Would be bank robbers fear being shot or imprisoned. Same goes for nations.

  7. Parent is not insightful. on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 1

    Because it's an American tld (three letter domain). If it was .xx.uk you'd have a point. Argentinians don't have to use it if they don't like/understand it. Americans can use .xxx to host a children's book store. There's no hard correlation between TLD and content or location, aside from .gov, .mil and .edu (and the like). This is part of why TLD are a bad idea in general... they are meaningless and cause more problems than they solve.

    +2 points for trying to impress the girl at the campus bookstore with your cultural thenthativity though.

  8. Re:100,000 preregistered? on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 1

    Solution:

    Get rid of the nonsense that is TLD. There's no need for them and they cause problems. The shift to IP 6 is a great opportunity to abandon that crap.

  9. What about old children? on 3D Displays May Be Hazardous To Young Children · · Score: 1

  11. Can't pre-order something on iPhone 4 Pre-Orders Wreaking Havoc On Apple Store · · Score: 1

    You can order it, or not order it. Once you have ordered it... you've ordered it. "Pre-order" could be used to describe the time BEFORE ordering is possible. If people are ordering it that time has past. These are not "pre-orders", they are just orders.

    i should have an alt so i'm more likely to have karma to give in situations like this.

  13. Re:Polygraph on The Truth About the Polygraph, According To the NSA · · Score: 1

    That's why it isn't.

    In some cases a polygraph is used as a test. For instance in giving security clearances. The test is if you will apply for a job that makes you take a poly. Some ne'er-do-well is unlikely to apply because they fear the test itself. It weeds out the weak/dumb bad guys.

    [pedant]
    Many robots are sentient, and couldn't do their functions without it. They "know" where the next bolt is, where the frame of the car door is so it can push the bolt into it. Any robot with sensors has some degree of sentience (relatively speaking).

    Sapient robots... that's another matter entirely. The smartest robots around are dumber than ants.

  17. Re:Good to see what EVE is like on EVE Online PVP Tournament Streamed Live · · Score: 1

    Check out PlanetSide:

    Pure PvP FPS
    133 vs. 133 vs. 133 players per continent. There are several continents.
    No grinding, you fight for something and level up as a result.
    No economy, trading or currency (thus no gold farmers, no twinking, no gold selling, no economy to corrupt)
    Cert systems means no noobstomping and shallow power curve (my 6 year character can't just one click kill your 1 day character)
    Huge maps, but not huge in the same sense as EVE. You can get from anywhere to anywhere else in a few minutes.
    Requires skill, tactics, teamwork and strategy to win.

    Mod parent Flambait. Not insightful.

    Hitler proposed autobahns and VWs. If Lieberman was pushing for net neutrality it could still be a good idea.

  21. Re:Let me guess..... on Military Develops "Green" Cleaners For Terrorist Attack Sites · · Score: 1

    The US military/gov't also spends a great deal of effort and money in trying to minimize destruction. As trendy as it is to hate the military and gov't, this is true. We are working very hard to make warfare less destructive.

  22. Re:Joomla is evil. on Joomla! 1.5 Beginner's Guide · · Score: 1

    What do you propose as an alternative for a FOSS CMS system?

    Side question: If i'm none of those, how much should i care about who is looking down on me? i just want a simple system to build a site without becoming a developer. So far Joomla is doing that well for my purpose (a site for my video game group {something like a guild}). Is there a grown up reason for using something else? "Joomla devs are doodoo heads" (the essence of your post) is not a grown up reason.
