  1. Re:Not sure what it means on MacBook Users Fix Trackpad Problem with Origami Paper · · Score: 1

    Oh, we all know the Mac's 'creativity tools' are just because there are absolutely no games available for the platform :P

  2. Re:WARNING on Ants Use Pedometers to Find Home · · Score: 1

    CORRECTION: The ants actually have 'paedometers'.

  3. Re:Seems Ideal for nanotechnology on A Greener Chip Manufacturing Process · · Score: 1

    The scenario itself is possible, but having an effect beyond Peak Everything(which is still quite bad, mind you) would be quite hard, as it would be equivalent to competing with thousands of biological versions of 'goo' that millions if not billions of years more experience.

    Not sure about all morons, but you certainly don't deserve to get paid!

    Actually, some corn chips are white, and I believe that chips with guacamole in them are green, correct me if I'm wrong

    so how long till we have a swarm of replicators based on this technology :)
    Well, first this technology would have to produce Reese so we won't have to worry too much...

    In reality, though, Replicator-like situations are infeasible on planets which already have lifeforms(like humans or Asgard). That isn't to say, though, that nanotechnology wouldn't be a very deadly weapon, for example nanobots designed to destroy one's nervous system.
  7. Re:Is the solution DRM? on Undetectable Rootkits Through Virtualization? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, the solution is to not give the malware the path to even be able to do this by using a capability-type system.

    Oh, I'm sure you could just make them see the actual hardware for the video card, just not for anything else

  9. Re:'agile' is neat, but ... on Using Agile Methodologies To Make Games? · · Score: 1

    Your quote reminded me of this quote:
    First they ignore you
    then they laugh at you(this is worthless nonsense)
    then they fight you(this is an interesting, but perverse, point of view; this is true, but quite unimportant)
    then you win(I always said so)

  10. Re:standardized environments on The Opportunity of Mobile Linux in Danger · · Score: 1

    Great, you just magnified what should have been an update of 1 or 2 packages to 50+ packages.

    If an app statically linked what it needs (like on the Mac) that would be good.
    Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. That works until there's a security bug in whatever's statically linked.
  12. Re:hey mr "penguin"... on Interview With John Romero · · Score: 1

    Yes, but there are still a significant number on Linux, even with M$ astroturfers coming in full-force.

  13. Re:RIAA: A boycott that works on RIAA Drops P2P Lawsuit Strategy, Goes Local · · Score: 1

    Only problem is that there are only five actual record labels(i.e. only five that aren't subsidiaries of some other label) in the RIAA.

  14. Re:"Wicked" Cool? on Wicked Cool Perl Scripts · · Score: 1

    My Latin teacher from Maine(who knows Stephen King personally, but that's a different story altogether) has used 'wicked' in such a way.

    I think that's an oxymoron.

  16. Re:Hmmmmm .... on ACLU Files for Info on New Brain-Scan Tech · · Score: 1

    Well, considering that they have never been anti-Christian and on many occasions have defended the right of Christians, I'd have to say you're full of shit. Stop listening to Limbaugh, not only is he the most full of shit, the ACLU has defended him in court before, so by your rules he's eivl.

    Go reread the Fourteenth Amendment. This is why you failed civics class.

  19. Re:ACLU on ACLU Files for Info on New Brain-Scan Tech · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's why they supported the free speech rights of people like Rush Limbaugh. Go look it up, it happened.

    I'd rather live in Sweden or Canada, hands down. Now where would you rather live, Sweden or Somalia?

  21. Re:Here's the facts on capitalism. on Open Source Could Learn from Capitalism · · Score: 1

    That's the problem with human nature. It's not consistent. Then again, no human is consistent either. Show me a consistent person and I'll show you a person with no opinions on anything whatsoever.

    Male bees(the drones) come from unfertilized eggs. Female bees(the workers and queen, the latter only emerging after the existing queen leaves) come from fertilized eggs.

  23. Re:Freedom on Open Source Could Learn from Capitalism · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why did you use 'who' for 'for' and 'whom' for 'from'? You know you're supposed to use whom on all prepositions, not just the ones you like. (Because you said offtopic rant, I get to comment on your spelling and grammar)
    Is "heteregounes" French?(Heterogenous) And how many of the letters at the end are silent?

    I think there are ways for people to be stupid without being on crack, or any other drug for that matter. A nice concussion will work just as well. So will FOX News.

  25. Re:Very offtopic: What's with this slashdot banner on Dealing with Phishing · · Score: 1

    Same. Actually, it went into the range of the 'large' ad and the large ad came out. I don't have Adblocker but I'm seriously considering it now.
