  1. The CEO of NVIDIA on Carmack Speaks On Ray Tracing, Future id Engines · · Score: 0

    then confirmed Carmack's words when he was leaving his appartment after what they both described as a "different kind of LAN party."

  2. Re:Go, open standards. on Free In-Class Resource For Science Teachers · · Score: 1

    So if someone gives you a free beer, except in a special proprietary container that can only be opened by a $300 opener it's okay, because everybody already has it anyway or has a free version of it that spills just a little bit on your pants and makes it smell funny.
    Oh, and the next version might actually come in a regular bottle, stay tuned.

  3. Go, open standards. on Free In-Class Resource For Science Teachers · · Score: -1, Troll

    student activity sheets in Word format Epic fail.
  4. Re:If I were you... on Verizon, Fiber Or Die? · · Score: 1

    Too many of those switches come with default encryption and/or key protection now, although logging into 192.168.1.1 with admin/admin usually works anyway.

  5. Apple fhtagn. on Sun Is Porting Java To the iPhone · · Score: 0

    The article doesn't speculate on how Apple might to react to such a loss of control. There's been a heavy snow-storm in here, and I think Australia might've sunk.
    People of feeble and creative minds everywhere in the world went into deep comas, the mental institutions survived a major influx of patients.
    For now, Steve Jobs dreams again in R'lyeh.
  6. Re:boy is this getting old... on HD-DVD and the Early Adopter Premium · · Score: 0

    It'd be great if the HD-DVD fans took a clue from Toshiba and stopped trying to push a dead format. They're not doing anyone any favors. Sony thanks you for participating in its "Competition is bad for us AND you" campaign. We will collect your soul at a later date.
  7. Re:Alex Brown on Counter-Claims On Flaws In OOXML Meeting · · Score: 0

    Like he cares, with the new Ferrari and so on.

  8. Overrated. on Topical Caffeine Might Help Fight Skin Cancer · · Score: 0

    Even if it does fight skin cancer, it still doesn't do all the things it's advertised to do. Some fresh water and glucose do a much better job at raising alertness than a brown mug of acidic dirt. Unless it's in an energy drink, which actually also contains fuel as well as afterburner for the brain.

  9. Govt != Public domain ? on US Air Force Issues DMCA Takedown Notice · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Even if the copyright can be transferred to the government, wouldn't that automatically mean that it belongs to the people ? Or are they admitting that, in fact, the government is a corporation owned by lobbyists and criminals, and not just a gathering of representatives of the nation ?

  10. Re:Can you say "better than being tasered?" on Homemade Robot Patrols Atlanta Streets · · Score: 0

    Apparently it's all right for obvious morons to side with a bunch of activists with nothing better to do to impose restrictions upon people who are exercising their rights to do whatever the hell is still not forbidden. And please don't give me any of the crap about the money spent on lung cancer victims - it's called solidarity because we agree to treating you when you're too lazy to cook a real balanced meal which, unfortunately, I see no way of discouraging or banning, as much as you agree to paying for our treatment when my lung cells stop dying properly, because I _love_ the faster bloodflow, the noradrenaline dancing with my brain, the carbon monoxyde making me feel a little bit dizzy, the poete-maudit feeling to it and how much it annoys people with no real opinion.

  11. Re:Gun laws on Chicago Links School Cameras To Police · · Score: 0

    Since I don't have any karma to burn I might as well add that in San Francisco they do acid to cope with their parents smelling their own farts.

  12. Gun laws on Chicago Links School Cameras To Police · · Score: 0

    I know it sounds crazy in the land of the free, but how about not selling guns to anyone who doesn't REALLY need them ?
      And don't give me the bs that they would find a way to get the gun anyway. If school shooters knew how to get contraband they'd get drugs and would be chilling out watching dogs wearing hats on wide-angle camera instead of shooting people.

  13. Re:Anonymous Karma Whore on Posting Publicly Available URL Claimed a "Hack" · · Score: 0

    No pr0n ? ;( That's why they made it public.

  14. Using facebook for anything important on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 0

    is like hiring the Olsen Gang to rob your bank.

  15. The best person to ask on Steve Ballmer on MS Server, Linux, Yahoo & More · · Score: 0

    about any product is its producers biggest competitor.

  16. Re:Oil? on EU Views Net Censorship As a "Trade Barrier" · · Score: 0

    Have you ever heard of Russia, the former USSR and Norway ?

    They will never disappear. Cthulhu^H^H^H^H^H^H^HSCO fhtagn.

  18. Re:What are you on about? on RIAA Not Sharing Settlement Money With Artists · · Score: 0

    obligatory Slashdot disclaimer: I'm a musician who has had more than my share of people around the world asking me for free cd's and telling me they want to copy my music for their friends. The article talks about artists, if you care more about the money you could make than the posibility of someone actually enjoying your music you're the music equivalent of a whore, not a "musician".
  19. I wish I lived in the US. on The U.S. Patent Backlog · · Score: 0

    I could help post bogus patents so the stupid system finally breaks and you can introduce something sensible in its place.

  20. Re:Why is this marked as troll? on Firefox 3 Performance Gets a Boost · · Score: 0, Troll

    And I for once want a GENUINE troll moderation from those fucktards.

  21. The infrastructure already exists. on Former FBI Agent Calls for a Second Internet · · Score: 0

    Do they really want to dig out all the tubes and replace them with new ones ? I remember a couple of years ago they replaced all the natural gas pipes, that was a real pain, and the new internets would be more expensive even though they're theoretically more caloric.

  22. Re:"Free" Software must exist on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 0

    TOR, Freenet, could have never been created if it were not for open source. They serve a very important purpose. Killing your hardon when you browse through all these sites you really don't want anyone to see you looking at because someone has decided to create a node somewhere in the middle running on a dial-up connection ?
  23. Re:Everybody's got a right to be wrong. on Tetris Creator Claims FOSS Destroys the Market · · Score: 0

    Car salesmen complain how safety measures ruin the fun of driving for everybody.

  24. Re:Censorship Is Never Necessary on Australian Internet Filter Enters Trial Phase · · Score: 0

    Was it the previous government or the current one that outlawed all these filthy and brutal games and forced Rockstar Games to create a separate version of GTA: Vice City where you could not get a hooker to enter your car without a cheat code ? Australia has always been a prison.

  25. Mandatory IQ and other cognitive ability on Getting The Public To Listen To Good Science · · Score: 0, Troll

    tests and then isolating those scoring below a certain value would fix the world for good. That way 'the public' actually becomes an audience of a different kind than monkeys' who would buy anything as long as it's loud colorful and grants instant gratification at the cost of long-term gains. Giving equal chances to everyone favors survival of the idiots.
