  1. Re:The only thing putting national security at ris on DOJ To Claim National Security in NSA Case · · Score: 1

    Very true. If one were to apply the current definition of terrorism to events in the past, I suspect many would consider the US government of past to be a terrorist organisation.

  2. Re:Igor international? on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    Then I understand your point. However, I think this thinks more of US pop culture than Nintendo 's marketing department.

  3. Why not? on NSA Spying Comes Under Attack · · Score: 1

    I see a lot of people who ask for evidence that such things as toture kidnappings by government agencies, etc. exist. But seems to me that things like this require the question "Why not?" instead? Why wouldn't they toture a person they perceive to be the enemy or scapegoat of their own cause in a place from which information is unlikely to leave? One should ask for evidence to prove that it doesn't not exist, not vice versa.

    Yes they are, they have specifically said so. Check the net for said sources if you are interested.

  5. Re:Meanwhile at the big N on Next-Gen Shift Costing Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Frankly, some of these wii jokes are really dumb. And I tend to laugh at anything. Since when did people refer to their genitals as "we" or "wee" ? "wee wee" maybe, but common guys.

  6. Re:Sure beats ARTS, anyway on Awesome Multimedia Technology Heads for KDE · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware of this. Okay.

  7. Re:Sure beats ARTS, anyway on Awesome Multimedia Technology Heads for KDE · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with ARTs?

  8. Re:Congratulations on Apache Now the Leader in SSL Servers? · · Score: 1

    Change can sometimes be good. That said, I have no idea what they are doing internally.

  9. Re:i've tried this before. on Deep Brain Stimulation as Depression Treatment · · Score: 1

    How well did it work for you?

  10. Re:Placebo on Deep Brain Stimulation as Depression Treatment · · Score: 1

    I think it is safe to assume that these professionals have taken such a well known form of error into consideration.

  11. Re:The Original Clockwork Orange on Deep Brain Stimulation as Depression Treatment · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I met "Clockwork Orange" in movie form. But where are the books and movies like "Clockwork Orange" today? Has truely creative genes been lost?

  12. Equilibrium on Deep Brain Stimulation as Depression Treatment · · Score: 1

    Thinking of Equilibrium are you?

  13. Re:The war on drugs...and solenoids. on Deep Brain Stimulation as Depression Treatment · · Score: 1

    I have wondered similiarly myself. But this basic thinking can be applied to much more than the war on drugs. The new "civilized" society has put away many of things (activities, customs, etc.) that may very well have catalysed the progress of society.

  14. Re:So? I took the test on opera/linux on Most Web Users Unable to Spot Spyware · · Score: 1

    That's the whole point of signed packages and official mirrors...no? Plus it normally takes more than one click.

  15. Re:So? on Vista Firewall to be Crippled · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can't agree to that. Many of us feel that Windows works best not connected to the internet. Two way traffic blocking was a good attempt at that.

  16. Re:Vague? on Streaming Patent Buoys RealNetworks · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a patent to me. Go for it.

  17. Vague? on Streaming Patent Buoys RealNetworks · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are such vague terms as 'intelligent' really allowed in Patent Lawyer speak?

  18. Re:Interesting on Nintendo Promises 3rd Party Support · · Score: 1

    Can't we hope for both?

  19. Re:Honestly on Judge Rules in Favor of Websurfing at Work · · Score: 1

    I would extend this to say: shouldn't the head of any employing organisation have the right to fire any employee? I mean, the company is the one giving the money.

  20. Re:I love my job! on Judge Rules in Favor of Websurfing at Work · · Score: 1

    One might consider this the infamous "Internet Addiction"

  21. Intranet use? on WebOS Market Review · · Score: 1

    Anyone think this would work well for Intranet/LAN use for custom company apps to lower client side requirements? Or is Java still the better way to go here?

  22. Re:Thank you Lamar (What an appropriate name) on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 1

    For the sake of the rest of us, could you _not_ put the Christian part in his name?

  23. Re:What exactly is so special about the Ipod ? on U.S. Government Developed the iPod · · Score: 1

    Interesting, not knowing about an Ipod == "Flaimbait" ?

  24. What exactly is so special about the Ipod ? on U.S. Government Developed the iPod · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I know that the wheel control of the Ipod makes it easy to scroll thorugh songs. But besides that, is there any special tech in an Ipod? I do not own one so I don't know. What so special that the President of a country would even try to take any credit for it?

    Well isn't it obvious? They are trying to defend their market and mind share.
