    Well you're obvoiusly totally overqualified to work in public finance.

    Sh1t. I guess I lost my geek card on saturday. Twice over...

  6. Re:Seven years for eight hours work on Novell Wins vs. SCO · · Score: 1

    Only if all the lines are straight. Once you figure in the potential of the curvature of spacetime then triangles with angles adding up to any total you like become possible.
    If a solution seems so simple, it may well be that you haven't figured in all the complexities that exist.

  7. Re:Who are you to cast aspersions? on Gamers Pay To Play With Girls · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Think of the children."
    That'll get you hung, drawn and quatered in most jurisdictions...

    Imagine a Goatse (or Tubgirl, or Lemon party or whatever) that didn't go away when you closed your eyes...

  9. Re:Heomeopathy = Placebo on NHS Should Stop Funding Homeopathy, Says Parliamentary Committee · · Score: 2, Funny

    So - your "cure" for someone who's had most of their bones broken in a car crash is repeated light to moderate beatings? Nice.

  10. Re:Heomeopathy = Placebo on NHS Should Stop Funding Homeopathy, Says Parliamentary Committee · · Score: 1

    Not true. I like Placebo, but Homeopathy just fills me with rage at how otherwise intelligent people can swallow blindly such a fundimentally flawed concept.

  11. Re:Sure they can claim it on IOC Claims Olympian Lindsey Vonn's Name As Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    Unless that's what floats your boat.

  12. Re:Stickers on Lego Robot Solves Any Rubik's Cube In 12 Seconds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I got stuck on the Rubiks cube, I worked out how to disassemble and reassemble the whole cube in the correct order. Peeling off the stickers never even occured to me.

  13. Re:They say it's not a big deal. BULLSHIT. on Routine DNA Tests For Newborns Mean Looming Privacy Problems · · Score: 1

    Actually, I can see this being used to clear someone on the basis that a clone might have done it first. Defence lawyers tend to be better pai^H^H^H motivated so will try this at the first instance that it might actually work.

  14. Re:Mmm on Fallout: New Vegas Coming This Fall, Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Considering some of the things Bethesda has released I didn't think it was that buggy. Anyone else remember Void Rangering in Daggerfall?
    Don't get me wrong, I love how open and sandbox Bethesda's games are. They've stolen literally thousands of hours of my life between them. I just would like to be able to play for more than a couple of hours without getting stuck on scenery, or falling through the floor. Hell, in Battlespire there were places you could jump over the world walls and land in the water that the whole map rested on, swim around and get into places you hadn't unlocked. Fun, but slightly sloppy coding IMHO.

  15. Re:That is fast! on Fallout: New Vegas Coming This Fall, Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    My other half bought Dragon Age the day it came out. Though I completed it first, so it's all good. She did beat me to the end in Fallout 3, but that's cos' I dodged the main quest as much as possible to get as many side quests in as I could.

  16. Re:Already done on Code Review of Doom For the iPhone · · Score: 2, Funny

    10,000 geeks hitting a server designed for 1000 connections max. Simultaneously.

  17. Re:Help the victims on Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected · · Score: 1

    I got bullied most the way through high school 'cause I stuck to the "Turn the other cheek" philosophy my mom had indoctrinated me with. The day I lost it and put a bullies head through a car window was the last day I got picked on - I was no longer an easy target. I'm not the only one that's had this experience - there's a clear dividing line between those who snapped and were left alone after that and those who stayed victims all their lives.

  18. Re:right, so it doesn't matter in terms of sales on Game Industry Vets On DRM · · Score: 5, Insightful

    DRM is fundimentally flawed in that it only affects your paying customers. 2 days after your game has come out a stripped version will pop up on the torrent sites, meaning that anyone who wants to play the game for free can. Psi-ops was a classic point - I bought the game, only to find that the DRM system objected to me having a dvd burner in my system. So it got returned, and I downloaded a copy.
    Net result of DRM in this case - 1 lost sale.

  19. Re:Slipperly Slope on UK Police Plan To Use Military-Style Spy Drones · · Score: 1

    The european court of human rights has ruled section 44 searches illegal. The government's response? They've said "Carry on doing them anyway while we prepare our appeal. No police officers will be prosecuted for this."
    I thought the "I was only following orders" defence was debunked about 50 years ago... (And no, this isn't an attempt to Godwin the discussion)

  20. Re:Your taxes at work on New Study Shows Youth Plugged In Most of the Day · · Score: 1

    Problem is that the UK academic system has shifted so that all you are taught up till the end of your A-levels is how to pass the next set of exams. How to think for yourself, analyze problems and evaluate situations is left to the first year of uni/college. That's why the first year is such a shock for so many students. Everything before that has become purely about the school hitting targets, not about educating you.

  21. Re:Retard. on Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Old CRT's can be quite painfully loud - there's a floor at work I tend to avoid if possible as there's a large display monitor that makes my head ring any time I get within about 10 feet of it.

  22. Re:Paging Bernie Madoff Clients... on Somali Pirates Open Up a "Stock Exchange" · · Score: 1

    And the crew, who at the very least lose several months of their lives with the possibility of body parts invluded in the mix.
    But hey, they're only employees right? Far less valuable.
