  1. Err mod parent up? on Shock Game Advertising · · Score: 1

    I think any post that i actually grep for should be modded up. Ad in question, thanks parent.

    ++ good.

    My opinion is people don't like the idea of female form depicted in a violent way. I say get your finger out of your ass! People are overly sensitive. If it was just an issue of violent imagery, the bullet hole, how many people would complain?

    People should stop having a biased sensitivity to violence and women, I don't mind sensitivity but not if is it misdirected in that way.

    Also the advert has a great play on words, although, personally, I don't like the advert.

  2. Over poetic review borders on pornography on How Great Cheap Phones Never Get to the U.S. · · Score: 4, Funny

  3. The whole universe is one processor on DNA Origami · · Score: 0, Redundant

    And we are just finding ways to write code for it. The Matrix of the future is right here, under our feet.

    Computational Chemistry will not mean computer simulations of drugs, but the ability to write software in physical hardware, complex chemical structures (DNA) providing a processing capability that will enable us to create physical structures out of software.

    Software that processes and generated a physical form for itself.

    Just when you swallow a red pill labelled 'windows artery' just remember, viruses and trojans will become physioware too, and just don't get backdoored (ouch) and that next slice of cake you eat could induce and orgasm.

    Actually, that sounds great.

  4. Just a word of warning on Judge Orders Deleted Emails Turned Over · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I gaurantee 100% of other email systems keep you 'deleted' emails in backups.,

    100%, why?

    Because it would time effort when you delete an email togo back and remove it from backups.

    Just because google is the only one who drew light to this matter, doesn't mean that they are:

    The first
    The only

    But the comments on here give me the impression that you guys think otherwise.

    Does your own backup handle emails intelligently? Does it know not to backup deleted emails? (I am not saying it is impossible for mail server backups may do on account of space, who knows). But that is deleted emails.

    What about will have soon to have been deleted emails? (red dwarf on temporal paradox)

    You can go back and fetch that magnetic tape all over again, so wipe that smug 'my backup doesn't touch the trach folder' smile of your face you overweight fucking IT tech.

  5. Next on OutZone on Finding the Long Tail of Television · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ...We go over to 24 hour live coverage of the GLBT-pride march that is happening in World Of Warcraft. This is truly an exciting moment as we are expressing our gay, I mean gblt, rights, in cyberspace. Thats right, Cyberspace (echo).

    And after that, call in with your horror stories about your violated rights!

    Hi caller on line 1:

    Caller: Yes, hi, I love this channel, me and my partner stayed up all night watching your WOW march.
    Presenter: Well, that's comforting.
    Caller: I am calling because yesterday, I got a parking ticket...
    Presenter: Why was this? This is an outrage? Were you in a handicap zone? over your meter? Did the store not have GLBT friendly parking zones?
    Caller: (indignantly) Not they did not have GBLT friendly parking zones, I had to park with the others. Well I was in a disabled parking space, but the real problem?
    Presenter: Tell us caller, tell the world your horrific experience!
    Caller: (emphatic) The ticket wasn't sensitive to my choice of sexuality!
    Presenter: (amidst canned horror sounds) That is unbearable, explain!
    Caller: Well, firstly it did recognize or acknowledge my sexuality...
    Presenter: TERRIBL!
    Caller: ... It didn't apologies to me, as a minority, I mean, you have to expect some reverse discrimination just to be sure you are not being discriminated against right?
    Presenter: Of course, that is the only reason I became gay
    Caller: Me too! And because I was a 6'5" tomboy with lank unattractive hair, and I repressed my sexual desires by joining the feminist society, working for NASA as an engineer and slandering the good name of Joan of Arc by saying she was a feminist.
    Caller: OK, I am getting Lambda legal onto the case (catchy Lambda Legal jingle, sounds like Power Rangers)
    Lambda Agent: (shouting) Yello Lambda Agent Online!
    Presenter: We need to get all states to recognize peoples' sexuality on parking tickets!
    Lambda Agent: (wtf, still shouting!) Yello Lamdba Agent, AFFIRMATIVE!!

    Wtf, where did that come from.

  7. More power to them... Will be modded down I expect on Blizzard CEO Lays Gay Guild Issue To Rest · · Score: 0, Troll

    I am personally recruiting for my whites-friendly guilds. Its is just some fun you see, we get to sit on the best seats on the bus and get to use different hair salons to other guilds.

    I am also running up a few straight-friendly guilds, again, innocent fun, straight people welcome of course.

    Then you got you got your KKK friendly clans, your pedo-friendly clans, your necrophilia-friendly clans, your narcotics friendly clans, date-rape clans, horse-sex clans, and my personal favourite, stalker-and-murderer friendly clans.

    Why is sexual orientation different to any other facet of society that gives it some magical pervasive power that now forces you to acknowledge it?

    "You won't let me spend 24 hours a day shouting to everyone and everyone that my guild is gay, you oppressive monsters!"

    I think it is pathetic, and sad that in this world a company can't stand up and say 'no we won't take your plight and pin your banner to our terms of service, and we will not buckle under pervasive embarrassed silence of social grey areas and say that sexual orientation doesn't belong in our game, regardless if you chosen sexual orientation is traditionally discriminated against or not'.

    Yes yes mod me down, maybe I am too liberal for you liberal types. Post a picture of Mohammed, yes no problem, blasphem any western religion? Go for it! Here is a statue of *diety* lets all urinate on it!

    Decide not to pander to some gay pride group on WOW?

    Fuck that! I am putting a 20x82 pixel badge on my website in protest right now! maybe one of those neat 'makepovertyhistory' style banners. And I will like, blog about this, and digg it and maybe it will end up on slashdot!

    What do we want? Gay rights on WOW! When do we want them? Now! Why? I have no fucking clue, maybe because gay people are shit at fighting? I don't know!

    PS: I heard that in counterstrike, there isn't an option to buy special 'gay' mods for your guns, you just get the exact same guns as everyone else, which obviously isn't good enough, so you should complain about that too. Why stop at haveing special rules to advertise your sexuality if you are gay?

    Why not have get the better bus seats? Maybe we should all give way to you on roads? Perhaps you should pay less taxes. (very few people look at costs of gay marraiges from a fiscal perspective, laws, benefits etc, versus the original reason for allocating those tax incentives).

    I will shut up now, because it will be too depressing when this gets marks flamebait.
