  1. Re:A great adea on Valve Unveils Steam Cloud · · Score: 1

    I just want an option to disable this great new feature. If I wanna play an online game right now, I don't want the bandwidth to be used for uploading multi-megabyte saved games.

  2. Re:Saves.... on Valve Unveils Steam Cloud · · Score: 1

    Great, so if I have a monster rig at home, then when I visit my parents, Counter-Strike: Source will attempt to run at 2560X1600 with 16xQ AA and all other settings maxed out on their little Dell with it's integrated video card and a 17" CRT....

  3. Re:logical progression on UK Proposes Banning Computer Generated Abuse · · Score: 1

    Hey I'd support that. Within 30 years I expect to have robot servants (or overlords as it may turn out) so who needs children?

  4. Re:Explain the beauty? on Brain Interface Lets Monkeys Control Prosthetic Limbs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How would you explain the beauty of a sunset to the blind?

  5. Re:what the fuck on Singapore Firm Claims Patent Breach By Virtually All Websites · · Score: 1

    Seriously, patents are fucking stupid. So is IP(intellectual property). Get rid of these, and world peace would happen over night.

    That's right, think how much trouble would've been saved without the Trademark on Muhammad's image....

  6. Re:More like "Brazil" on UK Academics Arrested For Researching al-Qaida · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Everyone mindlessly doing their job without any critical thought.

  7. Re:what specs on Vanguard Producer Wants Second Chance for First Impression · · Score: 1

    Define "gamer". Are we including Solitaire / Bedazzled / Zuma players in the calculation?

  8. Re:Bizarreness matters too on UK Teen Cited For Calling Scientology a "Cult" · · Score: 1

    Scientology reminds me of those Discworld monks who believe that money is the root of all evil, so they must martyr themselves by collecting as much of this evil as possible for the sake of the world.

  9. Re:Pretty normal on Getting Credit for Programming Accomplishments? · · Score: 1

    Spoken like a true supervisor.

  10. Re:damn you world of warcraft on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I probably should've said "his or her guild", especially looking at the username.

  11. Re:damn you world of warcraft on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you truly cared about your fiancee, you'd join her guild.

  12. Re:I used to work with a Sys Admin like that on New 'Phlashing' Attack Sabotages Hardware · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's sounds like a good submission to The Daily WTF.

  13. Re:How is the mechanism exploited? on New 'Phlashing' Attack Sabotages Hardware · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why would flashing even be allowed through remote management? My router comes with instructions to not even risk flashing through a wireless LAN connection, much less the whole big world wide net.

  14. Re:OK, guys. This needs to be explained on Using Magnets To Turn Off the Brain's Speech Center · · Score: 1

    Would most likely be a bisexuality gene that can lean one way or another to various degrees. That's where choice comes in, whether or not to accept the attraction. In any case, the urge to procreate is not necessarily stifled by being attracted to the same sex.

  15. Re:inspiration v. tech on Amputee Sprinter Wins Olympic Appeal to Compete · · Score: 1

    Are you saying modified howitzers should not be Olympic baseball pitchers? You bigot....

  16. Re:MOD PARENT UP on US Senate Asks for National Security Letter Explanation · · Score: 1

    I think that's why other ACs up there were positing "What if everyone who had an NSL went public with it, (whether anonymously, or by simply upping a .torrent to WikiLeaks and following up with a blog entry under their own name)?"

    That's what it means to open the third box. There's only 100,000 people who'd have to be rounded up, right? Dare them to file charges on everyone! Dare them to find 1,200,000 people for jury trials, all of whom will convict.


    Or, you know, they could just pick and choose the ones they dislike the most and leave the rest for a rainy day.

  17. Re:Hmm... what to do... on Wikimedia Censors Wikinews · · Score: 1

    The line gets decided by a jury of your peers.

  18. Re:Remind you of anything? on Survivor Buddy, a Friendly Robot Rescuer · · Score: 1

    But hey, you get an achievement out of it, so it's all good.

  19. Re:OK, guys. This needs to be explained on Using Magnets To Turn Off the Brain's Speech Center · · Score: 1

    With a powerful enough will, it becomes a simple matter of mind over matter. Just need to identify the gay gene and will it to flip.

    Um, you forgot to mention that you shouldn't turn the microwave on when you do this. Cause, you know, someone will.

  22. Re:You seem to be the problem on Keeping Customer From Accessing My Database? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Depends on the query. The right (or wrong) query could take hours to execute on a few hundred row tables.

    .... Informative?

  24. Re:pretty continua on Black Holes Don't Trap Information Forever · · Score: 1

    No, the Universe is infinitely simple. You just have to have a silicon brain and be trapped in an ice box to figure it out.

  25. Re:Library sales on Decent Book Clubs for Sci-Fi Fans? · · Score: 1

    Heh, my local library has these sales, 50 cents/paperback, $1 trade paperbac, $1.50 hardcover. Only problem is I buy far more books than I read, and then come back to buy more. So now have about 100 scifi/fantasy books I haven't had time to read yet, and I will have more the next time the sale comes along. Just can't stop myself... But it's all for a good cause :)
