  1. Re:Missing the point, I think - absurd. on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    That's a nice bad analogy, but I think you forgot to put a car in there somewhere...

  2. Re:Should be legal on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    Just let them use USians, it's better than when they use Yanks. Of course, whenever someone from the British Isles uses "Yank" I deliberately mangle terms referring to their homeland(call them English if they're a Scot, that sort of thing)

  3. Re:Attention Span on Turning Network Free-Riders' Lives Upside Down · · Score: 1

    You're part of the minority. We're talking about the people who like it.

  4. Re:Uncessary on The 64% Violent Pacman · · Score: 1

    What they have become now is a completely different story, but weren't the ESRB ratings created to convince Nintendo to stop its silly censorship?

  5. Re:but is it open source on Google Announces Open Source Repository · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "Not like SourceForge was."

  6. Re:haha...I love it.. on Spyware Disguises Itself as Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    The thing can only be installed on Firefox if you're using Outlook, a Microsoft product.

  7. Re:Wrong Vehicle! on Cubesat Launch Ends in Failure · · Score: 1

    It is also not a sports team.

  8. Re:Pathetic on Hire a Game Coach Online · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Video games take up a lot less space.

  9. Re:Yeah, just what is the MPAA thinking? on MPAA v. Hogan, or Vice Versa? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, the Hulk could totally kill the MPAA. Oh, wait, Hulk Hogan? Nevermind.

  10. Re:So? on Congress vs Misleading Meta Tags · · Score: 1

    You can't just pile analogies on a speech for Congress. It's not a truck.

  11. Re:atlantis on Shuttle Atlantis Being Readied For August Launch · · Score: 1

    And if the hiveships do come, engage the shields. And the drones.

  12. Re:Post to piss off conservatives on New Code Discovered in DNA? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There are now 14 assassins trying to kill you. Let's move.

  13. Re:Spamopoly on Sophos Reveals Latest Spam-Relaying Countries · · Score: 1

    If Linux were anywhere near as insecure as Windows there would be malicious code for it already. Linux is widely used in the non-desktop space, definitely enough to justify some cracker writing code for it. But Linux has a saner architecture for which viruses couldn't be written.

  14. Actually it's the bottom on Apple Reaches 12% Market Share In U.S. Notebooks · · Score: 1

    The top goes to free Unices.

  15. Re:Firefox V Opera on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 1

    Opera still doesn't have extensions(and yes, those matter to me more than anything else because without those I am locked into their featureset). And they didn't invent tabbed browsing either.

  16. Re:Why I won't use Opera on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 1

    IE comes from Spyglass which came from Mosaic as well.

  17. Re:Google's Bad Business Model on Google Doubles its Profits · · Score: 1

    One word for you: Antitrust.

  18. Re:Why the big deal over Vista? on Latest Vista Build Making Real Progress · · Score: 1

    XP to Vista is like a 2.6 to 2.8 transition, but more(ignoring the fact that it provides few tangible benefits). Those are big.

  19. Re:Sig on EFF Case Against AT&T To Go Forward · · Score: 1
    NSA: The most organized, well funded group of terrorists in the world.
    Actually, I think that's the CIA, or possibly FBI.
  20. Re:How Far Into the Rabbit Hole Are We? on EFF Case Against AT&T To Go Forward · · Score: 1

    It's the U SAP AT RIOT act, not the USA PATRIOT act. I know, it's easy to mix them up.

  21. Re:I Like His Logic on EFF Case Against AT&T To Go Forward · · Score: 1
    DIE as in DEAD
    As opposed to die as in alive?
  22. Re:IANAL.. on Judge Bans Thompson from LA Videogame Case · · Score: 1

    The adverb, "Ita fornicate", would be better. And actually "fornicanter ita", "fuckingly so" would be closest to the real definition.

  23. Re:Or.. on Pharaoh's Gem Brighter Than a Thousand Suns · · Score: 1

    "I don't want to achieve immortality through my works. I want to achieve immortality through not dying."-Woody Allen IIRC

  24. Re:No shards in EVE? on World Of Warcraft Crushing PC Game Industry? · · Score: 1
    WoW is casual.
    If WoW is casual then what does that make EVE? :P
  25. Re:I doubt it. on World Of Warcraft Crushing PC Game Industry? · · Score: 1

    More likely to have 25-33% in the 12-20 range if the group isn't dedicated to griefing.
