  1. Correct. on Gator CPO at the Department of Homeland Security · · Score: 1

    Sadly not enough people realize this.

  2. Dupe dupe dupe your boat on Brightest Galactic Flash Ever Detected Hits Earth · · Score: 1

    duply down the duper.

    Dupily dupily dupily dupily, \. is such a dupe.

  3. I see dead servers on Study Points to Sixth Sense in Humans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    F5 F5 F5 F5 :D

  4. I like how he microsofted the spyware question. on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    He made no mention of how he got by BEFORE the microsoft antispyware beta came out.

    I'd like to hear THAT instead of the "canned" answer. Things like Spybot S&D, Spywareblaster, Hijackthis.

  5. I'm copyrighting my penis. on Public Park Designated Copyrighted Space · · Score: 1

    Women have to pay me everytime they see it.

    Though, this could lead to prostitution charges on me, which would conflict with copyright law.. which would tear the very fabric of spacetime and destroy everything!!!

  6. I fully agree on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    I'm just not a nitpicker really, but I agree with you. The little things are noticible, although i'd still watch it anyway.

    I don't expect a whole lot out of TV to begin with.

  7. Sure, but they didn't. on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 0, Troll

    If your panties are in such a wad over it I suggest writing more story for them and sending it in.

  8. Something to do once a week. on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    It's like watching football or hockey or anything else that comes on at some set interval or schedule.

    It's something to look forward to seeing once in awhile, if it were only 5 weeks long most of us would probably have to download the shows somewhere (and a lot already do anyway) because I know my life doesn't revolve around a TV anymore, and hasn't since I was a kid.

  9. Sorry I didn't really specify the actual on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 1

    classification for you.

    I don't really pay attention to that crap honestly, I don't watch a lot of TV to begin with, so putting in my hour each episode is for my enjoyment, and I enjoy the show, whatever you might want to call it, sci-fi drama as the world turns in spaceships, whatever. It's got outer space, some ships, a little bit of gadgetry and what not, good enough for me.

    At least it's decent IMO, not a lot of decent "Sci-Fi" related shows on anymore, that are new anyway.

  10. I really liked the first season on Sci-Fi Channel Renews Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It reminded me of when I was a little kid watching stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, all the old Sci-Fi stuff like MST/Lost in Space.

    Just a good solid Sci-Fi series in my opinion, nothing over the top, knows what it is and doesn't try to jump ahead of itself.

    Two thumbs up here.

  11. I've always found I perform best under pressure. on Smart People Choke Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    If there's no pressure, I slack off and never get anything done. If i'm under extreme pressure the job gets done flawlessly and probably way ahead of schedule.

    It's kinda just how my brain works, no pressure = no incentive to perform.

  12. Claim your vacation time in terms of distance on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 1

    traveled.

    Demand payment for the millions of miles you travel each year.

  13. Wow this is sad... on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna try to get the masses to pay me to belittle them on TV.

  14. If you can't dodge bullets you deserved to die on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    I mean really, people have to be just asking for me to kill them when i'm running down the street with my AK-47 spraying rounds everywhere. If they can't dodge them that's their fault.

    What has the world come to?

  15. Most likely yes. on The Million-Gnome March · · Score: 1

    I'm not about to try to fix it though, since I don't care enough.

  16. What if.... on The Million-Gnome March · · Score: 2, Insightful

    their passions don't revolve around politics?

    What if these people simply do not care about that? What if they're so sick of how badly broken it is, they'd rather concentrate on things that make them happy rather than trying to fix a system that will never be fixed while any of us are alive?

    I'm not saying that participating in the system is wrong or pointless for everyone, the people who do will have a good impact on it, and the people who do not wish to, can live ignorantly happily within it. I'd rather use my supposed ~75+ years on this planet enjoying the ride, seeing as in all probability it's the only shot you get here.

    All sorts of people are meant to do all sorts of things, some become soldiers, doctors, teachers, firefighters, drunks, murderers, rapists, drug addicts, bums, presidents and politicians, miners and athletes, and a list a mile long I can't finish here. We all have our purposes, some of us aren't mean to be a part of a system that epitomizes all the horrible things about human nature they would rather not be enveloped in.

    So instead of forcing your system onto people who don't want it, be happy with what you are and the choices you make, because I don't see them forcing their system onto you either.

  17. Sadly yes. on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not that I like SCO of course, but instead this just displays how meaningless our judicial system has become.

    Our laws are meaningless today, because we've been disenfranchised by corporations.

  18. That's the problem, the legal system is already on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 1

    compromised by the rich.

    If you have the money advantage, you have a very large advantage indeed in court, as you can hire more expensive lawyers, and more of them.

    I no longer have any trust or faith whatsoever in our judicial system, it is horribly broken.

  19. You can choose any career you like. on Breaking Away from Programming? · · Score: 1
    The only limiting factor here is yourself.

    If you want to do something, you can do it, simple as that. Granted, the road to the objective isn't always paved with golden bricks. I would refer you though to this dictionary entry.

    Personally my side-thing beyond my IT/Crypto experience is working on a book. You could be a bouncer, flip burgers, pump gas, or something more lucrative.

    You're the only thing holding yourself back from whatever it is you want to do. Any hurdles in the way you either work on jumping over them, or you turn back, your choice.

  20. And I would most definitely agree with you on IP Insurance For Software · · Score: 1

    sadly. :(

  21. So being sued is like a flood hitting now? on IP Insurance For Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suppose that lawyers are some kind of new predator on the food chain that's just a part of life now?

    "Hey Johnny, don't think about anything without your IP insurance, never know when you might get jumped by a pack of lawyers."

    Granted, I realize that insurance has always worked like this on the legal side, especially with Auto and Property insurance, but this is going a little too far don't you think?

  22. I dunno about you but when I read a FICTION on New Climate Change Warning · · Score: 1

    book...I tend not to really take any of it that seriously.

    It's called Fiction for some odd reason or another i've been told.

  23. I find blocking ports 1-65535 TCP/UDP in/out on ISP Responsibility in Fight Against Spam · · Score: 1

    usually fixes all internet related problems.

  24. Well it's currently in beta testing.... on Blazing Speed: The Fastest Stuff In The Universe · · Score: 1

    Apparently there are a few more bugs in it that need to be fixed before it can be officially downloaded from God.

    Some examples:

    - Due to reorganization of some of the code in areas of the L.I.F.E. program to accommodate changes in the laws of physics that make light-travel possible, some of the pre-existing code was lost. We are in the process of comparing code bases, but currently we know that no-one is able to go in the direction west at all. This is a rather odd situation, but will be fixed.
    - Bodily excretion exit points have been erroneously reversed. This will be fixed in Beta 5.
    - It is currently not possible to see the color green.
    - Until a fix is released, you will be unable to break any bones; unfortunately people have been exploiting this bug though we are taking disciplinary action where appropriate.
    - Hair no longer exists
    - Due to a practical joke gone out of hand, one of our now ex-developers secretly inserted "Spock" ears onto every living mammal in the universe. He has been sacked.
    - Also due to a practical joke gone out of hand, the supervisor of the now-ex developer who inserted the "Spock" code himself secretly inserted code that adds a standard 1.0 helium effect to all voices produced organically in the universe. He has also been sacked.

  25. There is still a DIFFERENCE on NVIDIA Interview on the PS3 · · Score: 1

    and that is the entire point of what I was saying to him, he was trying to say there was NONE.

    Does not matter WHAT the difference is.

    I see you like to argue just to make yourself feel more "right" too.
