  1. Re:Remains unbelievable on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How about this for a compromise: You teach what you want to in church, or a class on religion/philosophy, and scientists will teach what they want to in science class.

    Sorry, that's just too sensible.

  2. Re:As someone from Alabama, let me say thanks on Texas Vote May Challenge Teaching of Evolution · · Score: 1

    No silly. Everyone knows that "The Baby Jesus" is sqrt(-1)!

    Imaginary? ;)

  3. Re:Why Steam always drove me crazy. on Valve Claims New Steamworks Update "Makes DRM Obsolete" · · Score: 1

    - If Steam ever goes away...

    I'd have to find the exact quote, but I'm pretty sure Gabe has stated that if Valve ever went under, they would unlock all the games you own so you don't need Steam anymore (or at least never need to log in).

  4. Re:And you really needed to... on Botnet Worm Targets DSL Modems and Routers · · Score: 1

    ... administer your home router over the Internet? Who does that? If you don't have an open port, even on these boxen, how could you be attacked?

    I administer my home router over the Internet, but through an SSH tunnel. So technically, I'm actually administering from home, but yet not... you get the idea.

  5. Re:Cashless Society on Breach Exposes 19,000 Active US, UK Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    Except in Australia we pronounce it "kaysh". ;)

  6. Re:I've said it before on Australia's Vast, Scattershot Censorship Blacklist Revealed · · Score: 1

    I'm really starting to think Australia needs a civil war or something. Overthrow the government!

  7. Re:Best attribute on Look Out, Firefox 3 — IE8 Is Back On Top For Now · · Score: 1

    SSH?? Luxury! When I was a lad we had to manually enter the bits on each computer using a morse code tapper!

    I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day with Visual Basic, and pay Microsoft for permission to use it, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

  8. Re:There are some things we shouldn't see on Activists Use Wikipedia To Test Aussie Net Censors · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I think the internet should be free, but seriously, how much worse off would we be if we didn't have censorship groups and "think of the children" advocates?

    Well, Australia would have an R18+ video game classification, for one thing.

  9. Re:Money on Believable Stupidity In Game AI · · Score: 1

    The only shady part in my opinion is the refusal for a rematch. If the man is willing to play on uneven ground and give his time (even if paid) to your stunt then you should have the courtesy to let him challenge/redeem himself.

  10. Re:Breaking the law on BBC Hijacks 22,000 PCs In Botnet Demonstration · · Score: 1

    2. What if you don't pay your gas/credit-card/porn-subscription bill? Same story. Does that mean NPower/Barclays/shemaleswithdiseasedsheep.com is affiliated with the government?

    Taking bets on how long it takes for someone to register that domain...
    kgo!

  11. Re:you are not looking on Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox · · Score: 1

    Not when you have 8GB of RAM. :)

  12. Re:What the hell? on Suspect Freed After Exposing Cop's Facebook Status · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Personally, I just wonder what his Fark or 4Chan handle is.

    Personally, I was thinking it was "samefag".

  13. Wrong number on The First Phone Call Was 133 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Bell: Hello, Watson?
    Other person: Oh I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong number. What did you dial?
    Bell: Three.
    Other person: Ah, this is two.
    Bell: Oh, simple mistake to make, sorry to bother you.

  14. Re:Please kill ActiveX on IE8 May Be End of the Line For Internet Explorer · · Score: 1

    It's not too hard with a molotov and a hunting rifle. Just make sure you don't startle the witch.

  15. Re:"Corresponding"? on Big Swedish Filesharing Server Seized · · Score: 1

    I'm going to internet meme hell for this comment aren't I?

    Only if you tell me how babby is formed, or how girl get pragnent.

  16. Obligatory Futurama... on Australian Gov't May Employ a Homegrown Quantum Key System · · Score: 3, Funny

  17. Re:oh god, please no. on Nvidia Mulls Cheap, Integrated x86 Chip · · Score: 1

    Anything with the word "integrated" near it makes me want to cringe...

    So you don't want to use any silicon chip then?

  18. Re:I hope they fix a couple of things on Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws · · Score: 1

    Not sure why it's this way, but it's pretty clear the work goes into the Windows version and hardly any goes into the native version.

    Huh? Are you implying that Firefox was written for Linux and ported to Windows? [Citation Needed]

  19. Re:The Obvious Solution on The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    I've found the fastest way through the Great Firewall of China to be Mongolosploit. It may take somem time but it's persistent.

    I think the most obvious solution would be to pour sweet and sour pork on their heads.

  20. Re:Some conclusions from the paper on The Best Way Through the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    Given the kind of freaky porn that comes out of Germany, I doubt the German government is going to be phased by anything the Chinese decide to download.

    That's "fazed". Although I'd expect the German government would be pretty worried once China starts using depolarised positronic tachyon beams to phase them out of existence. ;)

  21. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, by stealing the CD you just saved someone else from gouging their eyes out and driving a rusty fork into their ears. ABBA indeed.

  22. Re:CCCCCAGCAAGCCCA on DNA-Radio, Tune In To Your Chromosomes · · Score: 1

    Steve Vai released a limited edition "DNA" model guitar with his DNA as the paint job. Now that is extreme epic win.

  23. Re:Disable IE? on Windows 7 Lets You Uninstall IE8 · · Score: 1

    Indeed. If it were possible to completely remove IE, including the rendering engine, it's incredible just how much it would break. Steam and IETab come to mind immediately.

    Hey, great idea! Now that you've suggested it, I'm going to say "Patent Pending". See you in court! ;)
