  1. Re:Ahh Activision on Guitar Hero World Tour Won't Allow Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    What, do you have the multitracks to Crimson Thunder? If so, I imagine someone at Nuclear Blast's legal department will want to have a little chat with you.

    Come on, man, you've never heard of Astroglide? I don't believe that for a second.

    Yes, I have a girlfriend.

    ... whose presence in the room causes you to think of prostitution.

  4. Re:Delaying the inevitable on CC Companies Scotch Mythbusters Show On RFID Security · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the CC companies don't seem to require a signature for purchases under $50.

    I believe it's $25 for Visa and Mastercard. Discover makes you sign for all purchases; not sure about American Express (I worked at 7-11 for a month and a half and never saw an American Express card).

  5. Re:I know I know! on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 0, Troll

    You're a god damned idiot. There is no single characteristic of the world which is as you see it, so the sum total of what you think about the world is a close as possible to the opposite of what is actually true. I'm absolutely mystified at the misperceptions you must apply to absolutely every event you experience outside your home to continue to think as you do without serious cognitive dissonance.

    Not only that, but your kind of thinking is actively harmful to the world as a whole. We don't need idiots like you creating arbitrary distinctions between people and then escalating them to the level of enmity, and, it seems, almost to the point of not acknowledging them as fellow human beings, all simply based on an opinion on a political system you don't understand in the slightest.

    Sorry, AC, your 4th grade mathematics are no match for my 9th grade mathematics. Look up the mean and median of a normal distribution, and tell me what the difference is.

    Uh, no.

  9. Re:Wait, who had 480i streaming video? on Why the Olympics Didn't Melt the Internet · · Score: 1

    You.... you can't be serious. You're KILLING me. What the hell happened to the days when stupid people weren't allowed to use phrases they heard from smart people, like "fundamental theses"?

    Your original rant was also shockingly retarded, by the way. Disdaining the instincts and prejudices toward various manly characteristics that are inherent in men doesn't make you more enlightened or intelligent than those who don't; it just furthers the agendas of feminists and other forces of modern stupidity you don't fully understand.

  10. Re:Who believes the reason? on YouTube Stands Up To IOC Over Free Tibet Video · · Score: 1

    Could you please try to follow along with the conversation for more than one post? Someone praised Google for protecting free expression, someone pointed out that their motives were not pure, someone else said it didn't matter, I said it did. I didn't say I gave a shit whether or not Google challenges DMCA notices, nor that they had nothing better to do. Short-term memory is your friend.

  11. Re:Who believes the reason? on YouTube Stands Up To IOC Over Free Tibet Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nope. If they selectively challenge DMCA notices (especially if they only challenge trivial ones), they're merely defining the boundaries of free expression, not protecting it.

  12. Re:3d track, projection, basic compositing. on Using Photographs To Enhance Videos · · Score: 1

    I don't work in film, so I have a question: how much do the actors and crew get paid per hour compared to an editor?

  13. Re:Call the FBI? on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    You do realize most people spend their free time staring at the television or drinking, right? They don't even read books, much less do scientific research with their children.

  14. Re:And they say ... on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Which kind of people, the "leave me alone and keep government small"/religious people, or the people who ridicule them to demonize the former ideas by association?

  15. Re:Zoning gone wild. on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    What the fuck are you talking about? It IS a sad day, and our youth ARE afraid of being uncooperative. It might affect their future job prospects, after all.

  16. Re:And they say ... on Home Science Under Attack In Massachusetts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's a great thought. Maybe someday you'll travel to a red state and talk to people, and you'll find out it's wrong.

  17. Re:Illicit? on Genetic Glitch May Prevent Kids From Learning From Their Mistakes · · Score: 1

    You laugh, but illegal drugs are dangerous for the exact sort of person described here. Someone takes too much, say, clonazepam and doesn't wake up for work the next day, in fact almost doesn't wake up at all, then doesn't learn from it - what happens next?

    Not to mention, the price of gold jewelry isn't necessarily proportional to the cost of gold. Suck it.

  19. Re:What is the point of complaining? on EFF Warns That Email Privacy Is In Jeopardy · · Score: 1

    What if my love life involves the exchange of money, or my favorite recipe is magic brownies, or my tax return contains inaccuracies (like everyone else's)? Fuck your terrorists, I'm not giving up my freedom, due to unjust laws, just so you can have the illusion of safety.

    I know I'm feeding an unskilled troll. I don't care. Maybe he's genuinely stupid and can be set right. Dammit, I've got to try!

    Yes. I can assure you there is nobody in the world who bought bling as any sort of investment, which means it wasn't a better investment than real estate.

    Children are no longer taught "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me". They're now taught "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can shatter the soul".

    What's the difference? It's been four and a half decades - isn't it just about time we started judging people based on the content of their character?
