  1. Re:Birds of Prey or Carrion Birds? on Ancestors of Homo Sapiens Hunted by Birds · · Score: 1

    Maybe the dragons ate the large raptors?

  2. not a catalyst on Breakthrough in Biodiesel Production · · Score: 4, Insightful

    catalysts? acids? expensive? the definition of a catalyst is that they do not get transformed in an reaction but simply speed it up. In this case it rather sounds as if the acids are a simple consumed reactant.

  3. Re:NO WAY on Meet the Man Who Will Save the Internet · · Score: 1

    counter question: why should the US government decide to engage in censorship and prohibit the .xxx domain from being put into place? Why restrict content to it at all? Just make it available.

  4. Re:NO WAY on Meet the Man Who Will Save the Internet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think it might already have started with the US not allowing .xxx

    yeah, already started with not allowing .xxx :(

    I for one welcome our outerspace lichen overlords and hold no resentment against their interplanetary bukkake bombardment.

  8. old news again on NHK Working To Make HDTV Obsolete · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    read that a while ago on a bunch of news sites. REAL news sites, not the joke that is slashdot. and I expect this post to return in a week with slightly different wording.

  9. Heh. Boy, does this refrain ever sound familiar. on Columnist Turned Accidental Baseball Blogger · · Score: 1

    Why, these guys double post all their stuff as well?

  10. YOU! on Behind the Fight to Control the Internet · · Score: 1

    GET THE FUCK OFF MY INTERNETS!!1 and the lameness filter can suck on my hairy sweat covered balls.

  11. lipservice on Allard 'Gets Real' With IGN · · Score: 1

    they force me to buy their shitty media center as a lot of stuff can only be streamed from that. They also force me to stream from any other attached device and prevent to copy to the internal HD which would be the convenient thing for consumers.

  12. Re:Ok, but we get to take back all engines on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1
    to me it sounds like the best interest of countries to not rely on a country which is known for irresponsible actions in regards to services offered world wide as mentioned above in regards to gps. Having just read up on it a bit it appears decoupling my nations DNS system from the US system is implemented and can be done at the flip of a switch, so I apparently don't have to care what weird stuff the US government comes up with.

    And you should really just talk about the DNS aspect of the internet when you mean it and not call it the internet.

  13. Re:Ok, but we get to take back all engines on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    I wonder what that internet you are talking about actually is. WWW? not US. IRC? not US. Shortly China will overtake with most users as well. Really, insisting on the DNS servers being US only is getting a bit laughable.

  14. Re:Ok, but we get to take back all engines on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    the US already made it less free for its citizens due to DMCA and anti terror law induced censorship.

  15. Re:Ok, but we get to take back all engines on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 1

    It's as close as you can currently get to a representation of all people in the world, more so than the US is. The UN is also a least common denominator. DNS services would certainly not advance anymore, but it is also unlikely that any single nation would have an as easy way to do as they please anymore. Beyond that The only feasible approach is to decentralize or put parallel structures into place akin to what the European Gallileo positioning system is going to be to the US GPS, also to not have situations again with the US taking unilateral action and degrade service of a critical resource. I personally have no deep insight into the innermost workings of the DNS system but surely do hope that my country has all measures in place to pull the plug on the US servers being authoritive and instead being able to run the service independent on current local servers.

  16. wikipedia failed on Nitpicking Wikipedia's Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    I introduced a couple of subtle but serious changes into a few articles as long as 18 months ago. They were average non high profile articles. I stopped checking most of them as it got boring and only look at a single article every now and then anymore to see what is going on and if someone has mercy with the truth. The result is that some people do contribute to the article but actually continue to incorporate my malicious change. Even reverted back to it when at one time someone righted my wrongdoing. Whine all you want about how evil it was to make that change, the sad fact is that wikipedias peer review failed and continues to do so. You simply can't get an excellent information source out of the vast mediocre group of contributors. Instead you at best end up with a least common denominator.

  17. Re:a non issue on Airbus A380 Under Fire · · Score: 1

    according to ntsb documents this was well known as early as 2001. furthermore "Airbus maintains Mr. Molin caused the accident by using the rudder too aggressively to steady the plane after encountering turbulence. It says it warned American of "dangerous use of rudder and the fact that such use could result in loss of controlled flight or damage to aircraft structures." puts this ultimately at opinion vs opinion, hardly undisputed fact. Finally I don't see that you had exhausted the legal options or that authorities were unwilling or unable to resolve the matter. You merely went for vigilante justice. Deal with the consequences.

    And we all know that there is no way an email can be forged. that was sarcasm. You already violated a court order, I can hardly give you the benefit of the doubt at this point.

  19. Re:a non issue on Airbus A380 Under Fire · · Score: 1

    I put more validity into what I read in credible news sources than the opinion of some guy who already violated court orders. Not to mention the spin put on the story in regards to Airbus while TTtech is the involved second party. The story stinks of propaganda war in that regard.

  20. a non issue on Airbus A380 Under Fire · · Score: 1

    I read about this week ago, you know, from credible news sources. It's a non issue, the systems have been tested and certified, it's all about this one guy being an ass about being fired for being incompetent and now wanting to give them trouble.

  21. it's already live on Origen 360 Revealed in Less Than 12 Hours · · Score: 2, Informative

    it went live at noon GMT. If your clock showed a countdown ending in some hours that is due to the countdown being linked to the clock of your PC.
    Apparently Origen is a european only event anyway. The site is a promotion and little quiz with tickets for Origen to be won.

  22. done deal on Music Exec Fires Back At Apple CEO · · Score: 0, Troll

    the market already has decided, music is free via bittorrent at the appopriate pricepoint of 0.00$ and the artisits and music industry fully participate in the zero revenue generated this way.
