  1. Re:What are the restrictions? on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 1

    Not really, that guy was paid the money he knew he'd be getting. Supposing Orange company tried that option. The guy working for Orange takes the stock, the stock crashes, and he winds up with a small fraction of the money he's owed.

    But that's really comparing apples and oranges.

    Sorry about that one.

  2. If it is the Pentium 64... on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 1

    it should be Pentium IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIII. That would be cool plus everyone understands it immediately. Is there any confusion as to what this number is? No, there is not.

    What if you meant to hit cancel but hit OK anyway? That mistake is the latest and greatest virus causing havoc on your computer. This is a marginally useful security feature, but useful nonetheless.

  4. Re:How is this legal? on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How do you feel about research obtained from torturing people during the Holocaust. I, for the most part, agree with what you're saying, but using information that was obtained through torture is still an issue for me. One side of me says that the research is there and there's no reason not to use it, but another part says that using it just says that there was some valid reason to torture those people. I presume issues like this will become more and more common as the line between human and animal (yes I know humans are animals) becomes more blurred.

    Also, I read in the article that they're thinking of making a mouse with a human brain? I'm wondering a couple things. A) Is this mouse-person going to have the same experience as a human would, albeit in a mouse's body? Will this hybrid respond to things the same way a human would? B) When do we consider these things human? A human brain in a different organism's body sounds enough like a human to me. If anyone could shed some light on A) or has a legal definition or something for B), fire away!

    Firefox can be very geeky with the right extensions.

    Supposing they only gave out one quarter for every patent the country would go bankrupt. There are an awful lot of patents out there.

  8. Re:Hmmm... on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 1

    A better analogy would be selling a stolen car. I know I know, let's not get into the semantics of piracy v copyright infringement, but suffice it to say your analogy isn't perfect.

    Don't play games much, do ya? Almost every game has some aspect of what you just mentioned.

  12. Re:What about feigning Injuries?? on Robot Makers Say World Cup Will Be Theirs By 2050 · · Score: 1

    The rule doesn't cover hurt feelings. Presumably the robot would be able to steal the ball much more effectively than a human, probably without contact at all. Or at least contact that would cause harm.

  13. Re:Nooo... please. No more MT or LJ blogs. on LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I might have complaints about other portions of the internet, but I have a simple solution: don't read them. You have absolutely no obligation to read a blog, be it LiveJournal or Blogger or anything else. Exercise your right to choice and ignore them.

    Golly, what a scrub. While he's making a paltry $20mil/year I'll be laughing all the way to the bank... asking for a loan. I think our versions of "screwed" are drastically different.

    I'm working my ass off to get an engineering degree. If music isn't working out and these artists are truly starving, don't you see a problem there? Is it impossible for them to go another route for getting the food back in them?

  24. Re:I wonder if M$ will reply... on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses · · Score: 1

    Their mistake was in the math. By releasing OS/2, they effectively released a half of a browser. When Microsoft released Windows 95, it was 95 times a normal window. That's a 190 times difference in greatness. That's no slim margin, y'know.

    You can already simulate the XFL in ESPN 2k5. Just set all the players attributes to half of what they are originally.
