  1. Re:Indeed and it misses the point in so many ways on Does the End of KOffice Mean the End of KDE? · · Score: 1

    Then why bother? Fluxbox does that very fast and with a teensy footprint.

  2. Re:What about file shearing old games that are not on Why Money Doesn't Motivate File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think anyone would care nearly as much if you sheared copyrighted works.

    After all, you probably need to go buy another copy after you go about doing that!

  3. Re:Conservatives against Wikileaks.. on Digging Into the WikiLeaks Cables · · Score: 1

    The difference is that government SHOULD be under surveillance by the citizens, while the citizens SHOULD NOT be under surveillance by the government (without cause).

  4. Re:News flash on Single Software Licence Shared 774,651 Times · · Score: 2

    Most cheat. Some get away with it.

  5. Re:a simpler introduction on Beginning Blender · · Score: 2

    1. That's for 2.4, not for 2.5 as this is
    2. That seems great to speed a CAD-savy user into using Blender. It is not however a good starting point for someone new to the 3D field.

  6. Re:Another already out of date book. on Beginning Blender · · Score: 1

    Indeed. Why bother writing a book about a transitional version of an application? 2.5 is in flux - it won't be "stable" until they finish with it!

  7. Re:remarkable on Rear-View Cameras On Cars Could Become Mandatory In the US · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... and this 'solution' puts the camera screen in the dashboard - the opposite direction your head should be facing when you are backing up.

    Yea, this is going to make a big difference. Instead, people will look at the camera - gaining a clear rear-view, but losing the rear-side quarters instead...

  8. Re:Why HD? on Verizon LTE Can Use the Monthly Data Allotment In 32 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Even my near-first-gen netbook has a larger resolution screen than a DVD...

  9. Re:Antivirus? on AVG 2011 Update Causes Widespread Problems For 64-Bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Even that won't always cut it.

    Remember the PNG exploit?

  10. fucking PETA on Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game · · Score: 1

    To do this, they HAD to look beyond the title.

    Super Meat Boy has nothing to fucking do with meat on a dietary level. What the hell went through the minds of those at PETA?

  11. Re:I'd like one... but too pricey. on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    It's better than mortars, if that's your only concern.

    Much better.

  12. Re:Forget the cost of the gun on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Probably much cheaper than mortar rounds and bombs...

    And a fuckload cheaper than the costs associated with a casualty.

  13. Re:peter's wolf... on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 1

    There's a large difference between censoring what goes in or out, and manipulating the system so things that were not intended to go in do so (supposedly for intelligence gathering)

  14. Re:US DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 1

    SOMEONE has a fucking clue!?!?

    (go figure it's an AC)

  15. Re:Agreed on DNSSEC, but until then? on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 1

    The only problem with that is when IPs change. For major sites, it doesn't happen often, but when it does it may toss you through a loop.

    You might find it easier (and more efficient) to just build yourself a caching nameserver and set the TTLs high (hell you can do this on the workstation itself). Couple this with your existing method if you wish, there's no reason they can't work together.

  16. Re:peter's wolf... on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 1

    No, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone that isn't China.

    You should read what I wrote, not the words that you assume are between the lines.

  17. peter's wolf... on Chinese DNS Tampering a Real Threat To Outsiders · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At what point are we going to get sick enough of this garbage to just completely segregate China from the rest of the internet?

  18. Re:Solution: Warning box on Apple, Microsoft, Google Attacked For Evil Plugins · · Score: 1

    I'm just saying the wording was bad. Just find a more neutral way to say it, is all I meant. (something like "the addon 'SuperHappyKittySearchbar' was installed in an unusual manner. Do you wish to enable it?")

  19. Re:Solution: Warning box on Apple, Microsoft, Google Attacked For Evil Plugins · · Score: 1

    Yea, or.. you know, a fucking checkbox or Y/N question during some install.

  20. Re:Solution: Warning box on Apple, Microsoft, Google Attacked For Evil Plugins · · Score: 1

    That verbiage is bad. You can't know if it was with consent or not.

  21. Re:When I worked for UPS on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a driver had an oopsie.

  22. Re:Defaulting is worse! on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    Gold wasn't useful beyond a century or so ago. It was valued because it was rare, difficult/impossible to fake, and I suppose pretty.

    These days we have more mundane uses for gold, but everyone is still stuck on it for those silly historic reasons.

  23. Re:Defaulting is worse! on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    Then a needed commodity is being needlessly held up by assholes looking out for themselves?

    (tip: please pick something rare but -useless- to back currency in the future)

  24. Re:yeah on Operation Payback Shuts Down IFPI Site · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I still fail to see any violence.

    You seem to be thinking I'm saying something I am not.

    Stop reading behind the lines, there's nothing there. I mean exactly what I wrote, and nothing more. There is simply no act of violence.
