  1. Re:Contra-dick-tory on Morphine Relief Without Addiction? · · Score: 1

    No, but I know several Apple fanboys who can, mister Kentucky Fried Garbage :P

  2. Re:Why not just use a computer? on Download Torrents With Your PC Turned Off · · Score: 1

    It would seem much easier to buy a real computer as a firewall.

  3. Why not just use a computer? on Download Torrents With Your PC Turned Off · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems like a full computer would be better than this in just about every aspect--price, power consumption, etc.

  4. Re:Keeping AOL of your property on AOL Digs Up Yard for Spam Gold · · Score: 1

    Hank Landry: The last thing I want is for this(mutated invisible animal loose in Colorado) to become the OK Corral.
    Cameron Mitchell: Or a Vice-Presidential duck hunt.

  5. Re:Your education tax dollars... on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    When you look at the governments that preceded a Communist government in just about every case(the Tsars, Chiang Kai-shek, Batiste, NK doesn't count because it rose to power through external forces and not an internal revolution like the others) you notice a common trend--those groups were almost exclusively worse than the Communists that followed them.

  6. Re:Cut. Try another scene. on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    I actually think that Flea, the bassist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, said exactly that(after getting mad at a leak of the CD for sound-quality reasons)

  7. Re:Cut. Try another scene. on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Every time someone mentions Rosa Parks(she was lazy and stayed in a fracking BUS SEAT) as an example of civil disobedience, Gandhi spins in his grave.

  8. Re:Cut. Try another scene. on Teens Don't Think CD Copying is a Crime · · Score: 1

    My guess is that you haven't bought anything from iTunes or anything else and therefore you haven't had to deal with the harassment that is DRM.

  9. Re:Security... on Writely.com Beta - Google's Answer to Word · · Score: 1

    Burn the guys at DHS?

  10. Re:Duck and Cover on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Okay, smart person, what does cause AIDS if it's not HIV? Goa'uld symbiotes?

  11. Re:49 people + 180 days = proof?? on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think that even with birth defects a cure for AIDS would be useful.

  12. Re:U3 sucks infinitely on Is the U3 Smart Drive Encryption Any Good? · · Score: 1

    When you try to erase things in that way, it'll pop right back up next time you install Windows. Why is it so hard to understand that even slashdotters don't always like to use 1337 7r1ck5 to just GET THE FUCKING THING OFF THE DRIVE?

  13. Re:No, its not time to upgrade. on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 1

    Ping time is latency, dolt.

  14. Re:Ultimate Showdown! on Smash Bros Brawl Creators Hint at Sonic · · Score: 1

    Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater? Nah. Although I would like to kill Chuck Norris.

  15. Re:I don't think it does.... on Smash Bros Brawl Creators Hint at Sonic · · Score: 1

    Personally I prefer the term "circular logic" myself, since that's what petitio principii really is.

  16. Re:No privacy on Writely.com Beta - Google's Answer to Word · · Score: 1

    And yet it's still better than Invision.

  17. Re:That's not quite what he said. on ESR Advocates Proprietary Software · · Score: 1
    That sounds like an excuse. "I'm sorry officer, i didn't know speeding was illegal". Not a good excuse...
    But Constitutionally, "Speeding wasn't illegal when I was doing it" is a good excuse.
  18. Re:Leopard on Writely.com Beta - Google's Answer to Word · · Score: 1

    Get Firefox or Camino.

  19. It's a *quantum* computer on Under the Hood of Quantum Computing · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you assess the capabilities of the system, it disappears!

  20. Re:U3 sucks infinitely on Is the U3 Smart Drive Encryption Any Good? · · Score: 1

    A U3 drive is two partitions by default. One of them, the one with U3 itself on it, is read-only.

  21. Re:U3 sucks infinitely on Is the U3 Smart Drive Encryption Any Good? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh, didn't know about that. When I was trying to remove that crap I did a Google search and ended up on an Ars page which told me to use the Geek Squad's remover.

  22. Re:Wrong wrong wrong on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1

    You can't just pile stuff on it. It's not a truck. It's a series of rchemical reactions.

  23. Speaking of Garbage Collectors... on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1

    what would be the brain equivelant of the Garbage Collector(e.g. removing unused things)?

  24. Re:The "yeah, but does it run Linux" department on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1

    Dissociative personality disorder, not schizophrenia. Schizophrenia would be more like a buffer overflow.

  25. Re:Disturbing on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1

    iptables is a firewall. So you're pegging it in the same place.
